| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2010 jeep rubicon in nov 2009, returned to the dealer within 60 days and stated to the dealer that first and second gears had continually "popped out" while attempting to move from a stand still. I was told that the problem could not be reproduced and that i "need to be more careful in my shifting". I have had manual transmissions in all my cars since i was 16. I know how to drive them, i have also had two previous jeep wranglers and both were manuals with absolutely no "popping" issues. I have taken this issue up with the dealership for a second time and was told the same thing again. Tomorrow it is going in for the third time for this issue. This "popping" occurs on average of about 4/5 times a week. I have been caught in intersections, on ramps, up hills, (very scary if someone is behind you) and numerous other situations where safety has been jeopardized and a serious accident narrowly avoided. My wife also drives this vehicle and had to see a doctor for a hyper extended finger when the shifter kicked back and caught her un aware. This needs to be fixed, recalled, something. |
