My Jeep has experienced three electrical failures which have occurred approximately 6 months apart. For some unknown reason the battery died overnight each time. The second time it happened I purchase a new battery but six months later it drained too. I was able to successfully jump-start the vehicle after each incident. Transmission----I haven't been able to down-shift from drive to a lower gear. This problem began at about 46000 miles. I took it to a repair shop where they diagnosed the problem as defective shifter control. Before I had it repaired (est. $1000) it began functioning normally, that is, until today. I left a parking lot and merged into traffic. Fortunately traffic was light because I couldn't get the Jeep to go any faster than 28 mph. It seemed like the transmission was stuck in first. Also the engine light came on. This is a very serious situation that should not be ignored by the Chrysler corp. Or the national highway traffic safety adm. .
Numerous electrical issues. The most dangerous have been the prnd lighting up and vehicle not going over 1st or 2nd gear while driving. This has happened to me 7 times now, 4 of which have tried to be diagnosed by the dealer without success, they just replaced the gear shifter twice. The 3rd time I had taken a photo of this and gave it to the dealer when they told me 'nothing was wrong' according to their diagnostics. Photo proved otherwise. Also the vehicle has shut itself off twice while I was driving on a busy road. The windows also get stuck and will not work. Have to operate one window to make the other one work. The battery failed and 'transmission over temp" error happened at the same time. Manufacturer's service agent said it was a false readout due to battery failure but they did fix something on the transmission. I am filing for a second lemon law arbitration hearing in florida. It is a very dangerous vehicle with these issues. Incident date on this form is only the last date of occurrence since only one option. This has been a problem since first purchasing this 'new' vehicle.
