NHTSA Complaint #11180356 — 2015 JEEP WRANGLER

DISTRACTING GRIND AND SEVERE GEARSHIFT VIBRATION DURING THE 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR UP SHIFT. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER WILL VIOLENTLY COME OFF. THE GRINDING IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER AS GEARS MOVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS COME VIOLENTLY TO STOP AS OPPOSED SMOOTHLY MESHING TOGETHER. THE SHIFTING OPERATION PRODUCES A SENSATION THAT REVERBERATES UP THE HAND AND ARM CAUSING A DISTRACTING JOLT TO THE DRIVER. AT THIS TIME, ALL THE OTHER UP SHIFTS ARE NORMAL, MAKING THE 1ST TO 2ND GEAR UP SHIFT ASYMMETRICALLY DIFFERENT THAN ALL THE OTHER UP SHIFTS. THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY REGARDLESS OF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, GRADE, OR FAST, SLOW, OR RAPID SHIFTING MAKING THE VEHICLE A NUISANCE AND A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE.
