Consumer Description

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP/NEAR-STOP, THE CAR WILL VIOLENTLY JUMP OUT OF GEAR. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED I THOUGHT I WAS REAR-ENDED. IT IS DIFFICULT TO INTENTIONALLY REPEAT: THE ONLY PATTERN IS THAT IT IS A FIRST GEAR, ACCELERATING FROM SLOW SPEED ISSUE. BEGINNING TO BE INTIMIDATED TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. IT IS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY. LITHIA DEALER SAYS IT IS A JEEP ISSUE. JEEP SAYS IT IS A DEALER ISSUE. I MISS MY 1999 SAHARA. *TR
