Transmission makes loud noise when shifting from park to reverse. Problem was intermittent when vehicle first purchased. Dealer told me this was not a issue and that all Jeeps made some noise while shifting to reverse. Noise become more common and louder/harder with time.
When shifting gears the transmission makes a lot of noise. Have had the vehicle in twice, was told that they had another Jeep on the rack with the same problem was waiting for the manufacture rto tell them what to do next. After repeated calls to find out the status of the other Jeep, was told that they had replace the whole transmission on that Jeep and did not fix the problem. So after many calls am told that Chrysler is working on the problem. Also, the Jeep backs off a lot when at 70 miles per hour. Wrote the manufacture, but have not heard from them.
