Owner's description

Service shifter light comes on, sometimes it makes the engine light come on and a message appears that says to safely stop the vehicle and put into park. Doing some research on this myself no help from Jeep I found that this could cause the tires to lock up because your Jeep thinks it was put into park as your driving causing a severe accident especially if your on the highway. I also found that you can stall instantly. Imagine having children in your vehicle on the highway and your Jeep just dies. I feel like this is a very serious safety issue that needs to resolved by Jeep. I've had my Jeep brought to a Jeep dealership 3 times now. Currently there as we speak. They have done extensive work to what "may" be causing the issue. They are now chasing wires. I've paid $800. out of pocket and my warranty has covered about 3k in parts. Jeep has been contacted by the dealer with no help or guidance.
