Description of the problem | The problem is and has been with first gear (6 speed manual transmission). Within the first year of ownership the local jeep dealer was asked about the "popping-out" of first gear. They said that they could not get it to do so while they had it in their possession. Within the last two (2) months it has gotten to be not only an annoyance, but a safety issue. Safety in that pulling out in traffic becomes an "adventure." there is no confidence that it will not pop-out leaving the vehicle momentarily in a stalled condition with approaching oncoming traffic. One week ago it was taken again to the local jeep dealer. Warranty expired this past april. The problem was acknowledged and the cost for them to repair this problem was stated to be $6,000. {note: online we have noticed many concerns and complaints identical to ours. In fact, many jeep dealers have used the exact same line "we could not get it to occur." apparently there has also been a tsb issued by jeep addressing the issue of the first gear popping problem} |
