Not sure, mine is a manuel trans, but have you tryed taking it in to have the filter and fluid changed? Hope that it's not the shift controler on the side of the transmission. Go for the easy fix and try the filter and fluid first.

Are you parking your jeep Down hill/up hill? a good parking brake would fix it. If not the above you may want to check the tranny shift linkage/cable.

Make sure it is not just a sensor. Jeeps tend to have problems with sensors.

Have the transmission computer checked for codes. It most likely has set a code and it then locks into limp home mode ( third only ) until the next key cycle.
