Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO ENGAGE FROM NEUTRAL TO FIRST GEAR, OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND DOWN SHIFTING FROM SECOND TO FIRST. WHEN IT DOES ENGAGE, IT JOLTS FORWARD AT A HIGHER SPEED WHICH COULD A) CAUSE ME TO HIT ANOTHER CAR; B) ALLOW ANOTHER CAR TO HIT ME AS I AM NOT MOVING; C) ROLL BACKWARDS DOWN A HILL AS THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE AND CAUSE ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. JEEP IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX OR RECALL THE VEHICLE. *TR
