Consumer Description

PURCHASE A USED 2005 JEEP WRANGLER (SPORT) WITH 103,000 MILES IN EARLY 2011. THE SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR ABOUT ONCE A DAY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. IT ALMOST SEEMS RANDOM, NEVER KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT THE EVENT. THE EVENT IS QUITE DISTURBING AND LOUD, WITH A LOUD "POP". THE JEEP ROLLS FORWARD BUT OUT OF GEAR. I MUST QUICKLY PUT IT BACK IN FIRST GEAR TO CLEAR THE INTERSECTION, RED LIGHT, ETC. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS TRANSMISSION? IS IT NORMAL WEAR-AND-TARE, OR IS THERE A DESIGN DEFECT WITH THE TRANSMISSION? WHAT IS THE SOLUTION TO THIS UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION? HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL? *TR
