Reported at 1,700 miles, July 2017 CrashInjury

My service shifter light has came up 3 separate times. The last time it came on, my jeep took itself from drive to park while I was in motion, locking up my tires and steering wheel. I could not get my park back into drive, and it caused me to slide off the road. It has happened on 3 separate occasions. I have also had my bluetooth and my radio malfunctioning. It changes stations and volume by itself, switches between am and FM and changes volume randomly. My u connect bluetooth stopped working entirely.
