| Description of the problem | Around june 2010, i parked the vehicle in a hospital parking lot. Upon returning to vehicle, shift lever just flopped back and forth. Could not shift out of park. Had jeep towed to jeep dealership. They replaced the shifter cable at a cost of over $300. 00. Two weeks ago, june 2012, while driving, jeep shifter broke again while locked in drive. Same dealership replaced the shift cable bushing. Another $100. I called jeep/chrysler and their representative informed me that they had no other complaints about this problem. Funny, since there are many websites about this very, ongoing, problem with jeep shifter cables. In my opinion, this could be a very dangerous problem. There is no warning of failure. If it had occurred a day prior, i could have been backing down the boat ramp! I feel a recall, or at least, a notification to jeep owners, should be initiated by jeep/chrysler. Thank you for your time. |
