Speed Control Cable Problems of Jeep Wrangler

My vehicle has been in the dealership approx. Four times, because the service engine light comes on, followed by the traction control light. They said that the cable connection gets loose and they soldered it. This started about 20000 miles and is now at 57778 miles. This last time on 4-24-2019 they said that it has stored codes for the cam sensors on both banks and torque request denied signal and torque management signal performance. P2638, c121c, p0344, p0369. They said that it has pcm update and that they performed the pcm update again and cleared codes to see if they would come back. Vehicle driven 30 miles and and one large bump in the road and the lights turned on again. This happens while going down dirt roads. They also told me the first time that it was taken in that the cable is to short and causes stress and stretches, causing it to come loose. This time they said if the lights came back on that they would have to have the vehicle back to do more extensive tests and possible replace the sensors at my expense. This seems to be a reoccurring problem that always comes back. They also stated that this is a problem on all Wranglers. This seems to be a manufactures defect and needs to recalled and fixed.

Hello, I’m requesting that a factory recall be placed on my 2008 Jeep Wrangler. The issue is that the shifter cable falls off from the transmission lever because at the end of the cable there is a cheap 1 cent plastic insert that dries up and disintegrates, thus the shifter cable to fall-off. Thanks be to god, that nothing major happened to us, but potentially it could be fatal in other cases. Imagine this, when this cable falls-off the vehicle is stuck in the “reverse gear”, then you give it gas and instead of going forward, the Jeep goes backwards unexpectedly, potentially over a person, or down cliff, down a mountain, into a river, lake or even causing a major traffic accident. In my case my wife was driving the Jeep, not knowing that the shifter cable had fallen-off and that the Jeep was now stuck in "drive gear". When she stopped and the shifted to “park” the vehicle continued to drive forward under the engine idle power. Also when the Jeep was turned “off” to get out of the vehicle, soon as she release the Jeep’s brake it started to roll on its own. The “emergency brake” had to be applied in order to stop the Jeep from rolling further. In closing this cable is made with very cheap parts and also it is not designed properly, it lacks what engineers in my field we call “a fail safe design criteria”. Notice investing a 5 cents metal clip, placed over the end of the cable it would prevent it from ever falling out, even if the plastic disintegrates. This existing cable design is extremely danger, again the end insert is made-up of a cheap plastic and it lacks a metal retaining clip. In closing the factory should replace this cable for free, but the replacement shall have the plastic insert made-up of a stronger material (one that won't crumble). Also it shall have a "metal safety clip" to prevent it from ever falling off and causing major accident. Thank you.
