While driving straight at approximately 45 mph on a the 3 lane road full of traffic vehicle suddenly clunked loudly and violently shifted from high gear possibly fifth or sixth into first gear with the rpms at over 7000 this caused me and my family to lunge forward at which time I momentarily lost control of the vehicle. I was able to gain control and steer the car towards the side of the road and had to slam the shifter into park in order to stop. While stopped the vehicle remained at 7000 rpms until I pushed the off button of the console.

The audio unit would turn on off and then on and then off. I tried about 10 times and would not start the engine. The vehicle was parked in my driveway when it happened.

I tried turning turning the vehicle off and back on, but as soon as I put it into drive the check engine light came back on and the car started beeping again. From speaking with fellow Jeep owners (all different models) this problem seems pretty common and unsafe. The car only has 5700 miles on it. Totally unexpected when spending so much money on a brand new car.
