ONE DAY AFTER PURCHASING A BRAND NEW 2010 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR, THE WINDSHIELD BEGAN TO CRACK FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS NOT A ROCK CHIP AND NO OTHER OBVIOUS SIGNS OF ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE A WINDSHIELD TO CRACK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER IT AND IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO REMEDY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
2010 JEEP WRANGLER JUMPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR UNDER ACCELERATION. AVERAGE RATE OF OCCURRENCE IS 2 TIMES A DAY. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN DECEMBER OF 2009. PROBLEM REPORTED TO TATE JEEP IN FREDERICK, MD IN MARCH. DEALERSHIP REMOVED INNER AND OUTER SHIFTER BOOTS AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE BOOTS INSTALLED TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM RECURS. DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED 1 WEEK LATER THAT THE PROBLEM REMAINED; THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. AFTER THREE WEEKS, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE AS TO THEIR PLAN; THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD FORGOTTEN TO ORDER THE PARTS. FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE JEEP WITHOUT THE INNER AND OUTER SHIFTER BOOTS AND OF COURSE THE PROBLEM REMAINS. THERE HAS BEEN NO ATTEMPT FROM THE DEALER TO CONTACT ME. THE VEHICLE PREVENTS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS IT CAN AND WILL JUMP OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND WHEN TRYING TO ASCEND HILLS; ALL OF WHICH RISK A VEHICLE COLLISION. ADDITIONALLY WHEN THE SHIFTER JUMPS, IT DOES SO WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT PAIN AND RISK INJURY IF ONES HAND HAPPEN TO BE IN THE WAY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
2010 JEEP WRANGLER 2DR, MANUAL TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION JUMPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION WILL JUMP OUT OF 1ST GEAR (JOG) INTO NEUTRAL WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM A DEAD STOP. THIS EVENT OCCURS EVERY SO OFTEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER. THE VEHICLE HAS 630 MILES ON IT AND THIS JUMPING OUT OF GEAR HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN A DOZEN OCCASIONS ALREADY. IT HAS ALREADY PUT ME IN AN UNSETTLING SITUATION, OCCURRING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IF IT WASN'T FOR QUICK REACTIONS AND A WIDE BERTH, AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNAVOIDABLE. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME WHERE A PERSON WHOSE VEHICLE IS SUFFERING FROM DEFECT IS INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE BUT THE PROPOSED FIX (INNER BOOT REPLACEMENT AND/OR MODIFICATION) HAS FAILED AS THE VEHICLE STILL JUMPS OUT OF GEAR. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAS ONLY ISSUED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HOW TO POTENTIALLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE WHICH DO NOT ALWAYS WORK (SEE PREVIOUS SENTENCE). *TR

MY VEHICLE POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR INTERMITTENTLY. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR REPAIR AND HAVE REPLICATED THE ISSUE WITH A SERVICE TECHNICIAN IN THE VEHICLE BUT HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY TOLD THAT "PARTS ARE ON ORDER". AFTER FURTHER INQUIRIES NO PARTS HAVE BEEN PRODUCED NOR REPAIR HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND CAN RESULT IN BEING REAR ENDED BY AND UNSUSPECTING DRIVER OR BEING STRANDED IN A LANE CROSSING TRAFFIC WITHOUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 62 MILES PER HOUR, I DROVE OVER THE VERY SMALL BUMP THAT IS CREATED BETWEEN THE ROAD AND A SMALL BRIDGE. MY JEEP (WITH 37,000 MILES ON IT) STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE AND THE TIRES WERE LOSING CONTACT WITH THE ROAD. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND STOP ON THE HIGHWAY TO REGAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS WHAT I NOW HAVE COME TO KNOW AS THE JEEP "DEATH WOBBLE" . I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WORK WITH MY DEALER, BUT APPARENTLY EVERYONE WHO OWNS A JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM - EXCEPT JEEP. THIS DEATH WOBBLE HAS HAPPENED ABOUT SIX TIMES IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS. *TR
