41 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/09/2017

I was told at the dealer I bought it from that all the recalls had been done. I have a service 4-wheel drive light now. The Jeep seems to go into neutral at random times. Right after it is started and driving on the road. This was a used Jeep that I bought in Dec. 2016. Shorty after I bought the Jeep the check engine light came on showing an emission code and then the transmission quit working. The transfer control quit working after they worked on it. I no longer have 4-wheel low or can I put it into neutral. But it seems to shift into neutral at random times. I have no control on if or when it will shift into neutral so I guess at this point I have yard art. The dealer just wants to throw parts at it until its fixed. They claim there is nothing wrong with the Jeep. Or we don't know what could be wrong with the Jeep but we will fix it to the tunes of thousands of $.
