| Description of the problem | I have a manual transmission and the stick shifter that is stick constantly causes it to pop out of first and second gear when i am driving. This happens very frequently and has been a safety concern because those behind me in traffic, at a light or in a four way stop believe i am accelerating when in fact i have been kicked out of either gear back to neutral. I have had some close calls with vehicles almost rear ending me and for the safety of myself and those of others i feel this should be addressed. Usually, i would address this myself but after reading countless blogs and concerns this is worthy of a recall complaint. Please look into this concern regardless of the number of complaints that have come forward because this is an ongoing problem but jeep drivers tend to their own vehicles rather than going through proper channels. |
