2009 Jeep Wrangler power train problems

“The manual transmission malfunctioned, it is available for inspection upon request. My safety and others are put at risk due to the transmission not accepting first gear when in 1st gear, and it “pops” out of gear unexpectedly, leaving me and others in the middle of an intersection. The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by dealers, the manufacturer knows about the problem, to my knowledge. There were not any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure. This issue happens very frequently, and happens to thousands of others with this Jeep. And it’s extremely dangerous.”

“TIPM failure while driving is very unsafe. Can cause lights, wipers, and other failures while driving, including intermittent dangerous stalling and non starting. Please don’t wait until deaths or injury occur before action of this widely known issue.”

“MANUAL TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR ON ACCELERATION FORCING THE DRIVER TO QUICKLY PUT INTO 2ND GEAR. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND DOES CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD. IF THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHEN GOING INTO 2ND GEAR IT COULD EASILY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.”

“WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I HAD NOTICED IT MADE A NOICE , I HAD A MECHANIC TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND MENTIONED THE SUB FRAME WAS WELDED AND THAT THE CAR WAS VERY RUSTED AND FALLING APART. I WENT BACK WITH IN THE 15 DAYS AND UNDER 500 MILES AND BROUGHT IT TO JASON'S ATTENTION (THE PERSON HO SOLD ME THE VEHICLE, JASON ARGUED THAT ALL JEEPS SUB FRAMES ARE LIKE THAT FROM FACTORY, EVEN TRIED COMPARING IT TO ANOTHER JEEP HE HAD. I HAD TOOK THE JEEP TO A FEW SHOPS FOR EVALUATION AND ALL OF THEM CAME BACK WITH THE SAME BAD RESULTS THAT THE CAR WAS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE WAS ADVERTISED AT DEALER "THAT CAR PLACE" AS A GOOD RELIABLE AND SAFE CAR. MY BIG COCERN IS THAT I KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT CARS AND I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE IN A CAR THAT HAS SAFETY HAZARDS FOR OTHERS AND MY OWN SAFETY.I HAD REQUESTED A DIFFERENT VEHICLE AND THE REPLY I GT FROM JASON WAS THAT HE COULDN'T DO THAT BECAUSE HE HAD BROUGHT DOWN THE PRICE AN HAD GIVEN ME A DISCOUNT. I DON'T THINK ITS FAIR FOR HIM TO USE THAT EXCUSE AND DENY MY REQUEST JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T ASK HIM TO IT WAS BY HIS CHOICE.”

“TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR ROUTINELY. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND OCCURS WHEN CROSSING TRAFFIC AT TURNS ELIMINATING DRIVE TO WHEELS AND LEAVING OPERATOR VULNERABLE TO INJURY OR DEATH FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC. JEEP HAS ISSUES TSB TSB 21-001-10 REV A BUT NO RECALL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MANY VEHICLES WITH SAME TRANSMISSION. THERE WILL BE INJURY OR DEATH FROM THIS ONE DAY. *TR”
