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.

At approx 8:00 on the morning of 2/16/15 my 2005 Jeep Liberty, 3. 8l v-6 with automatic transmission began to accelerate out of control while braking for a stop sign. The engine was cold, I had just started it and the temperature was in the mid to upper 50s. I was traveling about 27 mph, and began to slow for the stop. At about 10-15 mph, I noticed the car was no longer slowing down. It seemed as though the brakes stopped working. At the same time, the engine briefly revved on its own. This made the car accelerate. I could not stop at the stop sign and the car accelerated into 50 mph cross traffic. I made a hard right turn to bring the car next to the curb, allowing room for traffic to go by. At the same time, I put the transmission into neutral and that allowed the car to stop. I then put the car into park and revved the engine. It seemed to respond normally at that point (engine would return to idle immediately after taking my foot off the gas). After shifting between part to drive, then reverse, etc. Several times, it still seemed to work normally so I continued to work with no further problems. It seemed as though while coming to a stop, the transmission did not down shift or disengage. As the engine rpms were reduced below idle due to the car slowing, the computer control system tried to bring the engine speed back up, causing it to accelerate. A couple of facts - the car has approx. 159,800 miles on the odometer. I purchased it used a few months ago and have put 13,000 miles on it. When I purchased it I had it examined by a mechanic and had all the hoses, belts, etc. Replaced. I've had the oil changed at about 5,000 mile intervals. I drive with one foot only, I don't use separate feet for the gas and the brake. The floor mat was not moved before or after this incident, and is not close to the gas pedal. Check engine light did not come on.

The transmission fails to engage from neutral to first gear, or when slowing down and down shifting from second to first. When it does engage, it jolts forward at a higher speed which could a) cause me to hit another car; b) allow another car to hit me as I am not moving; c) roll backwards down a hill as the transmission did not engage and cause me to get into an accident. Jeep is aware of this problem, but is doing nothing to fix or recall the vehicle.

Transmission disengages when in reverse. When vehicle is put into reverse, it will move a few feet and then disengage as if in neutral. I have to put it back in park or in neutral, then back into reverse, go a few feet, it disengages again. I repeat this stupid process until I get where I need to be and then shift into drive. Dealership says they have no idea how to fix the problem, and Chrysler is aware of problem and working on a fix. I have been dealing with this on a daily basis for over a month (at least 3 times each day I have to put the vehicle in reverse).

While driving at any speed and with no warning, the transmission locked up, and the vehicle became hard to control. The consumer was forced to pull over. The dealer was notified. The manual transmission locked up in the 2nd or 3rd gear and became difficult to disengage. Once you get it going again, after 5-10 seconds later for the next 3-4 shifts, the second gear was tough to get out of. The consumer was almost rear ended twice.
