Automatic Transmission Gear Indicator Problems of Jeep Wrangler

Year: 2024 make & model: Jeep Wrangler 4-door 4xe body style: sahara 4x4 VIN: 1c4rjxp60rw278656 on October 14, 2025, I began to drive my car home. After the use of the brakes, while I was pulling out of a large parking lot, the car functionally went into neutral, the “d” on prndl display began to blink. The brakes worked. I pulled over, put the car into park and then into drive again. Still, no change. I turned the car on and off and put it into drive and the car began to drive normally, until I reached a stop light, exiting the parking lot. Then, the same thing occurred. The “d” began blinking and the car was unresponsive to the accelerator. I turned off and re-started the car. Again, it drove fine. The “d” was lit, but didn’t blink. I was driving very slowly and then went down a hill. As soon as I tapped the brakes, the same thing occurred again. I was only 6 miles or less from the dealership. So, after re-starting the car for the 3rd or 4th time, I learned that using the parking brake did not disrupt the car and the accelerator continued to work. I drove to the dealership’s service department and used the parking brake when I needed to slow down. Today is 10/18/2025. I received a call back on 10/16 and none since. Today, I drove out to the service department and talked directly to a manager, who was vague on the car’s status.

While starting the vehicle for the third time in two days after picking up the car following a pcm flash for a cruise control recall, I noticed the prnd lights flashing on the shiftier approximately 10 seconds after vehicle start. I subsequently received a cel and a "service shifter' message. I shut off the vehicle, let all displays go dark, and restarted; the cel went away. I proceeded to continue my drive home. About 10/15 min later, I noticed the lights flickering once again on the shifter. I once again elected to continue home as it was late at night. Approximately 2/3 miles later, I received errors on the start/stop and traction control systems. The vehicle appeared to go into a "limp mode" - I it would not shift out of 8th gear and I experienced reduced power and an inability to maintain the posted 70 mph. I decided to exit at the next off-ramp as I could maintain 65mph. While exiting, I noticed the gauge needles (speedo and tach) sweep and got airbag warnings. I heard the electric fan go 100% high (very loud) and I lost power steering. I pulled over to the side of the road and shut off the vehicle. After letting it sit for approximately 5 min, I restarted the vehicle and while the cel remained no other errors were illuminated or presented. I was less than 2 miles from a Jeep dealer and decided to try to continue there on access roads. About 1/8 mile down the road, I once again lost power steering and say various error messages like before. I pulled into a parking lot and aborted my attempts and called for a tow to the dealer less than a mile away. Posted are pictures of the errors read using an obd-2 scanner I had in the glove compartment. While I have driven cars without power steering in the past, it was rather difficult with the larger ~32" tires and I am not sure a crash could be prevented if a smaller person was driving.

I am having major problems with over drive shaking and not running right at all. My Jeep will kick itself in netrual and flash the prndl lights kickthe check engine light on when you are driving. S done it at bad intersections trying to pull across the high way. I have had to a service shop and talked to many people trying to figure out what to do. It does not need a rebuild. So please give me info on any help what to try before it gets me killed. It is getting very dangerous!.
