I CONTINUED TO PROCEEDED DOWN LONG POINT ROAD UNTIL I COULD PULL OFF. ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES AFTER THE FIRST POWER FAILURE, ANOTHER POWER FAILURE/COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OCCURRED. THE SECOND POWER SHUTDOWN LASTED ABOUT 5-7 SECONDS AND TURNED BACK ON. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. WHEN I RESTARTED IT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, BUT WENT OFF AFTER SEVERAL HOURS. IT'S WORTH NOTING, I JUST RECEIVED THE ECODEISEL SOFTWARE UPDATED (I THINK V7). THIS UPDATE WAS PERFORMED ON 12/21/20

OUR JEEP'S SHIFTER OCCASIONALLY REFUSES TO GO INTO "PARK" AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WILL NOT GO INTO PARK EVEN AFTER OPENING THE DRIVER DOOR WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO AUTOMATICALLY HAPPEN BASED ON THE FIX IN SAFETY RECALL S27/NHTSA 16V-240. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE IS A SHORT IN THE SHIFTER BUT THE REPAIR WOULDN'T BE COVERED BECAUSE THE SAFETY RECALL WAS ONLY FOR A "SOFTWARE" ISSUE NOT A "MECHANICAL" ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTER. EITHER WAY, IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT WE CAN NOT SAFELY PARK OUR VEHICLE AND WE ARE EXPERIENCING SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED IN THE MENTIONED SAFETY RECALL, BUT WASN'T.
