| Description of the problem | 2009 jeep wrangler 2dr 4wd w/6speed manual transmission. This is a known problem according to a recent dealership service visit that they are "fully aware of". The gear shift frequently pops out of 1st gear while starting from a standstill. Vehicle has 28,000 miles on it, issue had begun at about 16-18k. It began as a sporadic issue and has become more frequent, approx 1-2 times per month. On the service visit 1/20/2011, dealership was of no help as they could not replicate the problem and no repair or advice was given. Vehicle will be out of warrenty in approx 8000k. This common issue will then be on the hands of the owner. It is actually more of a safety issue as there is no warning when it'll pop out of gear as one pulls into the flow of traffic and then suddenly becomes immobile posing a serious t-bone potential. Surprising, the total lack of responsibility on the dealership/auto manufacturer regarding this issue since it is so well known to the service department. *ln |
