Hello guys, newbie here (to Jeeps and the forum). I recently got a GC Limited 75th Anniversary and there's something odd that has happened twice within the last month. The other day I was trying to park and switched from D to R. When I depressed the gas pedal I noticed that the vehicle wouldn't move; it was as if it's on neutral (the engine was revving but seemed like the transmission didn't engage).
When I checked the shifter to see if I had put it in neutral by mistake, I realized that it was on Reverse but the R light was blinking. So I switched it back to neutral, then reverse again and it worked fine. I didn't really mind it too much but then it happened again a few weeks after that. It was the same scenario (trying to park, switching from R to D or vice-versa), with the only difference that this time it was the D gear that didn't seem to kick in.
Is this something I should be worried about? It's really not a big deal but if it's a sign of something bigger then I definitely want to get it checked.
