I have had 3 transmission breakdowns in the last 6 months.9/23/17, 12/6/17 and 3/9/18. The repairs were done at the same dealership. Autonation chrysler dodge jeep ram of pembroke pines, 13601 pines blvd. Pembroke pines, fl. 33027. In each incident the transmission cutoff and would not engage above 2nd gear. This last time in march the dealership has had my vehicle for 2 weeks and just stated that it was a faulty part. I do not believe it is the part. Something in the transmission is making the parts fail. They refuse to fix the transmission and want me to risk driving again knowing that this part has failed 3 times already in 6 months. I am a 56 year old male with poor eyesight. This part failure has happened to me twice while driving on the highway almost causing an accident both time. I have also contacted jeep and been assigned a case # 33606208. I have had to rent a vehicle to continue to work and am already out of pocket $468.34 in the last weeks. The dealership refuses to give me a loaner. I do not believe my car is safe to drive based on the 3 breakdowns of the same parts in the last 6 months yet the dealership refuses to replace the transmission which is the cause of the breakdown. I have uploaded the billing from the previous 2 breakdowns. I need your help to investigate this issue for me as I am terrified to drive this vehicle without the transmission being corrected. I feel I am in danger of an accident.. This part will continue to breakdown as evidenced from the repeated repairs. This may be systemic in other jeeps. Please help me.

1) backed out of driveway and the transmission failed to engage then slammed into gear, 2) stopped at an intersection pressed on the throttle vehicle paused and then slammed into gear (has done this several times)and has continued this behavior intermittently. It has been to the dealership 5 times. Dealer and chrysler state that this is because of the vehicle being on an incline and it has an electronic throttle and transmission state there is not a problem and they are not going to fix it the dealership (advantage chrysler in mount dora florida told me if I didn't like the response take it somewhere else. Each time it does this it slams into gear and puts stress on the u joints, drive shaft, and rear end not to mention the damage to the transmission. The vehicle still has less than 4000 miles on it.
