2007 DODGE NITRO 4X2 with 220000. miles

The driver side break light and reverse light has had to be replaced too frequently. Now the gear shift - diag code U0103 seems to cause the loss of communication of the gear position. That only allows the vehicle to only travel about 20mph and approx 3000 rpm , which can be very dangerous if there is a unexpected slow down on the highway

2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE with 98000.0 miles

Multiple times while driving my vehicle has suddenly lost power. I will be going 70 mph or 15 trying to accelerate and then it stalls out and won't accelerate. I will pull off to the side of the road and turn my car off and then back on and it will correct itself most of the time. I took my vehicle to a transmission place and they didn't know what it was. The conducted a transmission flush and replaced some electrical wiring and it seemed to help for about 4 months. Now just last friday (20 april 2012), i was trying to accelerate after pulling out into traffic and almost got broadsided because the car just wouldn't accelerate past 2.5 rpms and 10 mph. Luckily the car heading straight for me slowed down and i was able to get out of the way for on coming 55 mph traffic. I looked on numerous websites and an ungodly amount of Jeep owners have reported this same issue. I took my vehicle to the Jeep dealer yesterday (23 april 2012) and they said they had to replace the electronic shifter module. I was getting codes U0404 and U0103. It cost $1051.50 to fix. I checked on-line after, and that is what everyone else said that the Jeep mechanics would recommend even though it would just break again 3 months later. One man even noted that the mechanic said that they have changed over 1,000 of those in his shop alone. I feel that this is a major safety issue and should be recalled! Jeep obviously knows this is going on.

2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE with 142000. miles

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo with 3.7 liter motor shows all four gears park neutral reverse and drive "prnd" active at the same time and the check engine obdii code U0103 (can bus communication lost with the shifter). This condition reoccurs every 1 to 7 days approximately. While in this mode the vehicle is in limp mode stuck in 2nd gear. I tried to drive it to the dealership twice with this condition on back roads but it will clear after driving for about 5 miles in limp mode. I had the vehicle towed to the Jeep dealership with this condition present. It cleared while they were trying to diagnose problem and they couldn't get it to repeat while driving it with my permission for three weeks. They were unable to diagnose the problem and no repairs were made. I got my vehicle back after three weeks at dealeship and problem reoccurred after two days of driving. Trying to drive this vehicle in limp mode is very dangerous as you cannot exceed about 30 miles per hour causing dangerous conditions to myself and other drivers on roads with speed limits higher than 30 mph. This is a serious safety issue and the dealership can't diagnose the problem. In the meantime i am stuck with a very unsafe vehicle
