Description of the problem	Within a few months of purchasing the jeep wrangler, it began randomly popping out of 1st gear. It was uncommon and inconsistent at first. It was returned to the dealer ([xxx]) multiple times and we were repeatedly told they "could not duplicate the issue". They kept the car for weeks on end. Finally the tech duplicated the issue and replaced the transmission with a rebuilt. This fixed the problem only temporarily, and soon it began popping out of 1st gear again. On vacation in pensacola fl, the problem got worse and was reported to the nearest jeep dealer. It was determined a new transmission was needed. Upon return to houston, it was replaced with another rebuilt transmission by river oaks jeep. Within a few months, it began popping out of first gear again. Problem persisted until transmission went out and car was rendered undriveable on 5. 10. 13. Towed to river oaks on 5. 13. 13 for repair once again, where it is currently being evaluated. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
