MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD AND NOT EVEN 2 MILES THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT LET HER GO FASTER THAN 30 MPH AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF GEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE TOOK IT TO GET AN OBII SCAN. THE CODE THAT WAS PROMPTED WAS AN ESM MALFUNCTION OR TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR. I AM HAVING SO MUCH TROUBLE FINDING A SPEED SENSOR THAT IS AVAILABLE AND HIGH PRICED. THE ESM IS NOT HARDLY AVAILABLE ANYWHERE EXCEPT AT A DEALER. I HAVE BEEN READING TONIGHT ONLINE AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CASES OF THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENING WITH SOME MORE SEVERE INCIDENTS. IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING SHIFTING, ESM AND SPEED SENSOR ISSUES, SHOULDN'T THIS ISSUE BE ADDRESSED. I AM PRETTY SURE THIS ISN'T THE FIRST ISSUE OR COMPLAINT. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND A VEHICLE THAT WAS NAMED A SMART BUY BY CONSUMER GUIDE AUTOMOTIVE IN 2006 AND THE REDEFINING VEHICLE OF JEEPS FLAGSHIP IS A HAZARD AND UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY. I WILL NOT BE RECOMMENDING A JEEP OF THIS YEAR TO ANYONE. I HOPE YOU TAKE THIS INCIDENT WITH THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERATION AND START THINKING ABOUT YOUR CONSUMERS SAFETY.
