| Description of the problem | The bushing that attaches the transmission shifter linkage cable broke and the transmission was rendered inoperable. This situation has hundreds of incidents detailed on the internet and jeep should be forced to recall the effected vehicles since this is obviously a defective design and manufacturer part. Chrysler/jeep is being dishonest with consumers by saying they have not heard of the problem, yet the parts manager at my dealership told me this is a well documented issue and jeep is aware of the problem. Also associated with this issue, is the defective shifter tube sleeve nylon insert that cracks. This is also well documented on the jeep forums. Jeep is aware that both parts are defective and they should be forced to fix the problem free of charge for owners. Please help! |
