Having trouble with my 2005 Jeep Wrangler going into park.
Received letter from manufacturer safety recall e14. Scheduled appointment with dealer where vehicle was purchased. Vehicle was at the dealers at 8:30 am on day of appointment. Went to pick up at 4:30 pm (on a Friday) and was informed that they never got around to fixing it. "too busy". I wasted an entire day and someone's else's time getting the car to the dealer and back. No time was given as to when they would fix this problem and I left the dealer. I want this on record in case sometimes does happen with vehicle that causes damage, injury or possibly death.

Unintended acceleration / engine flare. Can be anticipated and vehicle movement prevented in 2 wheel drive, high range but will overpower brakes when in 4 wheel drive , low range. Occurrence not consistent or repeatable on demand but is frequent. Can occur with application (or release) of power brake, turning of steering wheel (power steering) or air condition cycling. When this happens in technical trail maneuvers (off road conditions in treacherous terrain) or in close proximity to trees, large rocks, abrupt drop-offs along road, the results are potentially deadly. No corrective action can be taken by any, non factory representative as this is a programming issue with the vehicle computer. This vehicle is not unique. The "dealer" is unable to reproduce the symptom.
