Service shifter. Red dash warning that states "service shifter" comes on at random times during vehicle operation, while moving slowly in the driveway at highway speeds, while backing and moving forward. No rhyme or reason as to what will trigger the warning. Has been occuring for several months now.

We started our vacation drive to florida june 9, 2019 when we got to florida june 11, 2019 we got a message that popped up on our vehicle that said service shifter. We were really upset because we just bought the vehicle on june 6, 2019. The dealership wants us to pay a $250 deductible for the issues we are having with it. This should be covered under our warranty.

After the emissions recall, my jeep has dangerous lag on acceleration. You press the gas pedal and there is a 3-5 second delay before anything happens. Very dangerous when pulling out of my driveway etc. Additionally the fuel economy has decreased substantially. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks, mike
