Esm- electronic shift module issue: p, r, n, d, l all light up simultaneously and the car gets confused as to which gear it should be using. Occasionally, the check engine light comes and goes. After reversing, i put it in drive and it shifts roughly. Randomly the car loses power driving down the street. I had the esm replaced and a month later is showing a u404 code. *tr

When my 2007 jeep grand cherokee is in drive, there is a loss of power. The check-engine light comes on, and it's as if the car doesn't know whether it's in drive, neutral, reverse, etc. The dealer says i need a electronic shift module to the tune of $600+. After looking into this, i see it is a problem with many jeep grand cherokees. I am looking into getting jeep to take responsibility for the faulty part. *tr
