First, thanks to f1anatic for posting a link in another thread to an article about the possible recall repair. I was able to download the embedded document into a pdf and have attached it to this post.

The "repair" is quite involved - software only reprogramming FOUR modules with an estimated 2.3 hours!!!

See attached pdf.

Enough of the personal insults, please. Discuss; argue, postulate, share recipes, whatever. But "be nice" and please stop making more work for the moderators.

Getting back on track...

I dropped off my jeep today to get the recall done. Im leaving it with them overnight (since Im traveling) and will pick it up tomorrow. Will update on any differences I feel.

I dont need to do the update, havent had a serious incident yet. However, when it comes to liability, I'd rather do the fix and cover my ass then have some lawyer do it for me in court.

Are they really still posting this nonsense? Golly Gee! There must be something better to discuss. Like Trump's hair,

While I've never really had an issue with the shifter, I'm getting my recall done purely from a liability standpoint.

If you ever let anyone else drive your vehicle and something were to happen related to the shifter, insurance and lawyers would be all over you. There is a recall on the vehicle that could have prevented this incident and you didn't get it done? Enjoy paying T the hospital, lawyer, and insurance fees out of pocket.

This recall is a fail safe. Why not get it?

I don't have an issue with the shifter that the recall would fix either (for me) but I guess I will get it done because...

...given that it will eventually get done from a future flash of one of the 4 modules (esp TCM) flashed in the recall due to a fix I need or want.

...even though nobody drives it but me I just realized I am forced to valet it every couple weeks for various events where I cannot avoid it...some are like car pros and some are, well, not...

Although you may not have had any problems with the shifter, the current design and operation certainly allows for it, regardless of your driving proficiency. I can't see any downside to getting the fix installed. Then you can't inadvertently miss Park and hop out as the car rolls away.

Again, pardon me all to hell for applying common sense. But if you make sure the vehicle is in Park before you "hop out", you will accomplish the same thing, and the car won't "roll away". I'm never in that much of a hurry where I can't take the 5 to 10 seconds it takes to accomplish that simple task. Along with applying the Parking Brake and shutting the engine OFF.

This thread is really starting to sound like a broken record. (Sorry to those of you too young to know what that means.) :rolleyes:

While I respect your right to an opinion, it is my opinion that you are a very foolish person. You should not be permitted to raise children and my dog probably has more sense than you. But, you ARE entitled to your opinion.
