| Description of the problem | The vehicle violently jumps out of 1st gear (manual transmission) periodically when taking off. From online research i've done, this has happened to several others also. It happens when first trying to take off in first gear. I've had it happen a couple of times when attempting a left turn at a stoplight. I put it in 1st gear and when letting out the clutch it violently jumps out of gear. It is loud and shocking and obviously the vehicle stops moving forward. I have to quickly push in the clutch to attempt to put it back into gear to try to get through the intersection. Luckily i haven't been hit by an oncoming vehicle, but when you lose all power trying to turn left it is a very dangerous situation. I reached out to a couple of dealers, but they claim to not be aware of the situation. Since i see reports on the jeep forums, it is obvious to me that it is a common and dangerous issue that needs attention from the manufacturer before someone is seriously injured. |
