| Description of the problem | 08 jeep wrangler rubicon 6 speed transmission. When starting out in first gear the transmission will violently jump back and out of first gear. Took it into the dealer 6+ times to have them look at it. It did happen to a service tech and they replaced the transmission. The new transmission started doing the same thing 5 miles from the dealer. Took back again. The dealer responce was it was driver error. Went to another dealer. That manager says that brand new jeeps with 6 speed transmissions jump out of gear. This is very dangerous as it is first gear and you are pulling into traffic when it happens, you have to then shift very quickly into second to get the vehicle moving again. Http://www.
