POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I GET A ROARING SOUND FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHEN THE CLUTCH IS NOT DEPRESSED, AND IN NEUTRAL, BUT GOES AWAY WHEN THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED. IF YOU TURN THE IGNITION OFF WITH THE CLUTCH NOT DEPRESSED THE ENGINE RATTLES AND SHAKES. IT'S ALSO HARD TO CHANGE GEARS AFTER THE JEEP HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 20 TO 30 MINUTES, AND IT HAS POPPED OUT OF GEAR SEVERAL TIMES. THE FIRST TIME IT POPPED OUT OF GEAR I WAS MERGING IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY, AND CAUSED A TRUCK BEHIND ME TO RUN OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID HITTING ME. NOBODY WAS HURT, BUT THEY VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO COKER JEEP AND CHRYSLER IN TEXARKANA, TEXAS, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY THING WRONG, SO I MADE THEM DRIVE ME AROUND, AND THEY SAW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THEY WERE GOING TO ORDER, AND CHANGE THE THROW OUT BEARING, BUT I DROVE ANOTHER 2000 JEEP ON THERE LOT AND IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING, SO THEY JUST WROTE IT OFF AS NORMAL, AND HAVE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I KNOW I AM ONLY 1 PERSON, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT WOULD BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF CHRYSLER TO ADRESS THIS PROBLEM INSTEAD OF IGNORING IT. EVENTUALLY SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DIE AS A RESULT, AND CHRYSLER WILL BE IN THE SAME POSITION AS FORD FOUND THESELVES IN, BUT CHRYSLER WON'T HAVE A TIRE COMPANY TO BLAME IT ON. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOFBOARD TAKING ON WATER. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S RAINING OR NOT, AFTER AN HOUR OR SO OF DRIVING WITH THE A/C RUNNING THE FLOOR GETS SOAKING WET. THE FLOORBOARD AROUND THE DRAIN HOLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF RUST. I HAVE READ THE COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEBSITE, AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE ARE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS THAT CHRYSLER WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. MY JEEP IS 3 YEARS OLD THIS MONTH, AND SUBSEQUENT MY FACTORY WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT. I WOULD LIKE SOME ANSWERS.*AK
