While driving onto the interstate I was accelerating on the on-ramp when the vehicle suddenly lost the ability to shift gears, while every service indicator light on the dash came on. I pulled over to check on the vehicle. I did restart and it seemed ok. Once starting to get back onto the interstate it stopped shifting gears at 3rd gear, and would also not downshift. This was an issue as I could only reach a speed of about 35-40 MPH. This continued for hours while getting to my destination. At certain points it would not shift out of first gear. This was not a safe environment to be in. I called the dealer and took it for servicing. Dealer stated the oil cooler stopped working, and in doing so leaked oil all throughout the engine. I ended up replacing the thermostat, radiator, and the oil cooler due to the issue. The Jeep was in the shop for 15 days while they were replacing parts and trying to flush out the oil in areas there shouldn’t be any oil. They told me I would always have a slim amount of oil in engine due to not being able to flush completely. $5000 later, everything seems to be ok now.

Service shifter lights up and I have had to replace it multiple times at the dealership since 10k miles. I now have almost 90k and have had this issue at least 6 times.

Does someone have to die first for this to be taken seriously?
