It sounds like the car is in neutral. The dash will have the “D” for drive of PRND flashing. I try shifting into neutral and reverse with no change. I shift into park and then auto park engages and I am effectively stuck. The safety of myself and passenger(s) is immediately effected. I was at a stop sign in the middle of rush hour traffic in a densely populated metro and was stuck in park for over 3 minutes. The safety of others on the road is effected as I am a danger being stuck in the middle of the road. If they hit me, it could injure them and their passengers. The dealer has repeatedly stated they can’t get it to “act up”. They have had the vehicle

There's some issue with the clutch, after shifting to the 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear when you release the clutch accelerate the car makes a horrible sound really loud metal scratching sound. And sometimes while driving, the car automatically accelerates for 3-4 seconds. And now auto start/stop symbol with the exclamation mark shows up and the screen stops showing what gear the car is in. It's been happening since April this year.

After coming to a complete stop every time, the Auto Start/Stop kicks in and when it is time to accelerate the Jeep stalls, takes itself out of drive, lights start flashing, radio goes off, and windshield wipers start going. After getting through the disorientation of everything happening and cars honking at you or jamming on breaks to not hit you; one will need to re-step on the break, put the vehicle in park, restart the Jeep (if it starts, sometimes it takes 3 times pushing the start button or it may need a jump started. This is such a dangerous situation. I bought the Jeep in Oct of 2019. Had Batteries (both) replaced in Jan 2021. Still under warranty i took back to them this past Saturday, they said the main battery needed a 117 minute charge and the smaller battery was fine. they let it sit for 45 minutes and it started right up for them. The next morning same thing, struggling to turn over. I am again going to take to dealership as much as i do not want to as this is an on going issue not getting resolved.

While drive for 30 minutes the jeep has a complete malfunction with all electrical components and was unable to shut off engine, and ABS, power steering, gear shifter, electrical gauges, auto start stop engine shut off and navigation system. Jeep only has 3800 miles on it. My family of 5 were all in the vehicle on the freeway when the jeep electrical system started shutting off and on. We pulled into our street and the jeep would not shift gears or turn off the engine. This put us in an unsafe position not know if the vehicle was going loose control. I pulled over but the jeep would not shift and ended up blocking traffic. We felt unsafe and any speed, very scary for our family.
