I had the electronic power steering module go out & also had to replace radiator after doing research i have seen 1,000 of other customers complain about the same issues and they not be covered by warranty due to basic warranty expired. If this is a common issue with the 2015 jeep grand cherokee why has this not been reviewed for recall??

The gear shifter is malfunctioning. The lights on it are not lighting up to show what gear i am in and the dash shows "service shifter" sometimes the dash will state n but i will be reversing. I told the dealership about this when i took it in for the current recall on the shifter. This issue is something different. They told me they fixed the problem. The same day it was doing it again.
