Consumer Description

I COULD NOT SHIFT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FROM "IN GEAR" TO PARK. THE SHIFTER WOULD GET STUCK IN REVERSE, RESULTING IN ME INADVERTENTLY MOVING BACKWARDS - A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. I ALSO COULD NOT SHIFT DOWN FROM PARK INTO GEAR. I HAD TO REMOVE THE PANEL AND MANUALLY MOVE THE ANCHOR FROM THE IN-GEAR POSITION TO PARK. I NOTIFIED MY DEALER OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY PERFORMED THE FOLLOWING: "FOUND SHIFTER ASSEMBLE INTERNALLY DAMAGED. REMOVED AND REPLACED SHIFTER ASSEMBLE AND CHECKED OPERATION." THE COST OF THE REPAIR + LABOR WAS $483.27. THERE IS A RECALL/DEFECT FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IN THE 2005 WRANGLER. I OWN A 2004 MODEL. THE RECALL NUMBER FOR THE 2005 MODEL IS 05V460000. *JB
