Tl the contact owns a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle loss motive power and stalled. Several moments later the vehicle restarted. On several occasions, the vehicle would not immediately restart.

Electronic shifter module had gone out. Park reverse neutral in and drive are the only functions available. To downshift from drive fourth, third, second, and first have lost all ability. Primarily the driving of the vehicle is through the streets of san francisco and the ability to downshift is necessary to avoid collision and to climb the steep hills. Not only for myself, but for anybody else with this problem for example: driving to an exit ramp from speeds of 65 and needing to decelerate to 25 would be very difficult and major where on the brake system. Now for climbing the hills of san francisco in a high gear puts a major stress on the transmission. Please take into consideration that the electronic shifter module should be recalled for safety . This vehicle has already been recalled for an ignition and has been replaced but I received several notices from Jeep starting out as simple and is nicely put his please see your service dealership there is a recall and to the extreme of receiving notices that said your vehicle has a recall and you are putting other peoples lives in danger by neglecting to have it fixed. I have done my homework and the ignition and was told from a dealership that it was not necessary since I only use the key with no keychain. I have also done my homework on the electronic shifter module and there are many people who have made videos or testimonies about their Jeeps having the problem of the ability not to downshift through the electronic shifter module. In the past 12 years I pray that there has been no accidents in direct relation to this electronic shifter module but if you're a driver you know that every gear on the vehicle is there for a reason and rely on the safety of the vehicle.

I have been having issues with my cherokee since early 2007; multiple issues including the car stalling, check engine light coming on/off, all the dashboard lights turning on and off and multiple attempts in getting the car to turn on. I have taken the car to multiple repair shops; both dealership and local repair shops looking for answers. I have been given the same diagnosis each time; the transmission control module is faulty. The transmission control module has been replaced (3) times and works for a little less than a year and then the problem returns. I first heard of the safety recall - ignition switch p41/NHTSA 14v-438 (as I later learned) from the media. I called the nearest dealership to inquire on when I could bring the car in for repair. They said they didn't have the part and to call back when I get a letter saying the part is available; that was almost 6 months ago. In the meantime I have also received a letter from Chrysler informing me of the recall. That came almost 3 month after the recall was on the news. Yesterday, while driving my car all the dashboard lights came on and off and my car momentarily stalled while driving down the highway. These are the same issues I've been having where the transmission control module has been replaced and reading the symptoms of this ignition switch problem, I think they are related. I called Chrysler's recall assistance center today and was on hold for 2 hours before I gave up. There was no way to leave a message for Chrysler to call me back. The recall has been in affect since July 2014 and has not been resolved in a reasonable time. I am afraid to drive my vehicle as it is a safety hazard to myself and others. This is causing a lot of difficulty for me as this is my only mode of transportation and there is no repair in the foreseeable future.

While driving on a busy streetwith my 2 children in the car, I had to stop @ a red light and when the light turned green, I proceeded to go but couldn't and realized that the car had shut off. I tried to restart the car in a hurry due to oncoming traffic but was unable to. Finally I find the hazard lights and put them on to let people know that my vehicle was stalled. I had to take the key completeley out and put it back in to restart the vehicle. I could've had an accident. Took the car in and left it there for 3 days and the dealership stated that there was nothing wrong with my car and to take it home. So I did. I went out of town that weekend and the same thing happened with the exception of the vehicle was actually in motion when it shut off for the second time on a another busy street. I quickly turned on the hazard lights and once again had to restart the vehicle. As I was making my way back into to town, the check engine light came on and I took the car back to the dealership for another 3 days all for them to say that they reprogrammed the transmission and engine computers and that should resolve the problem. But it didn't. . . It shut off again about a week later right after I dropped my kids off at school. This is ridiculous and is a safety hazard. I took it back again, keep in mind this is the third time. . . This time they changed out the ignition cylinder after 4 days. I have only had it back now for 4 days and once again the car shut off at a light on a busy street. So the people at the dealership will be seeing me again!!! this is dangerous and very inconvienent for me and my family.
