Safety concern: the issue with the 2016 jeep grand cherokee i leased is that it slips out of drive and into neutral while the car is in motion! This happens on its own, without my touching the gear shift. When it slips into neutral, the gear shift says its still in drive. Three times i have taken my car in to be serviced for this problem to the dealer ship i leased it from and each time they have told me that their…

Shifts hard up or down shifting - around 3rd gear. Today, 20mph was running 3000 rpms and wouldn't shift. I pulled into parking lot and shut vehicle off and restarted. The tranny light was on and did not go off but the shifting…

The gear indicators (p, n, d, etc.) were flashing and it did not recognize what gear it was in. It would not engage a gear, and would not turn off the engine. I had it towed to the dealer and left it…
