Description of the problem	My 2016 manual jeep rubicon unlimited (approx 14k miles) drove/shifted fine on my way to work (about 3 miles, very light traffic) last night, but when i got back in the jeep to head home, the stick-shift was all caddy wompus and i struggled to get it into gear to back out of my parking space. It felt like it had twisted sideways and fallen down. To get it into 1st gear, i had to shove it far to the left toward the steering wheel, and for 2nd gear, i had to practically jam the shifter into my leg. Finding neutral and reverse was tricky--the whole shifter mechanism felt like broken bones and mush. I was able to get it home (thankfully a short drive on back roads where i could go slow and there was no traffic) but was baffled by how it was fine earlier, then suddenly junk. Thankfully i was not on the highway or on a trip somewhere with my daughter in the jeep. A tow truck picked it up this morning at our home because driving it 16 miles to the dealer in the city in heavy traffic (not knowing if shifting would be an option) seemed very dangerous. The rep at the jeep dealer said he had never seen this before, however i discovered many people on wranglerforum. Com have reported the exact same issue. Without hearing back from the dealer yet to verify, it appears to be the 52060064ag lever gearshift / bushing that has malfunctioned/broken. I am very disappointed that my first ever american made vehicle feels like cheap junk. In addition to this potentially very serious issue, there have been other minor irritating issues such as the driver side mirror simply falling off while driving, and the fender over the rear wheel falling off. Things like this should not happen with a new "tough" (and relatively expensive) vehicle. I am disappointed and, frankly, pissed. Does quality even exist anymore?

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
