Has anyone experienced this issue?

My Launch Edition Gladiator has been to the dealership 3 times now since purchased Sept '19. While driving peacefully down the freeway on 3 seperate occasions my display has warned of a inoperable Blind Spot Monitoring System and immediately the transmission goes into limp mode. Once stopped the vehicle cannot be restarted or driven. Each experience was an adventure of its own and I will spare everyone from a narrative of my misfortune. Each time the the service center has returned my vehicle only having replaced a TCM fuse, and cleaning the terminals on the TCM. I was told that Star (Chrysler Engineers) were still working on a recall. 1 More occurence without a repair and I should meet the criteria for Idaho Lemon law.

Anyone else having this issue?

Update:

I recieved my gladiator back from the service center. The dealership "believes" they have found the problem to be a poor ground connection with the main battery terminals. Evidently this is resulting in insufficient/ intermittent voltage. When asked how the blind spot monitoring error comes into play the technician responded with, "most likely due to the poor ground." The fix was to relocate a loose ground stud and replace the TCM fuse.

This was repair attempt #3 on the TCM issue that has seemingly resulted from a blind spot monitoring failure each time.
