Transmission Shudder Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee

After a cold start (even in warm weather), when shifting from 'park' to 'drive' the transmission shudders momentarily and shakes the whole vehicle. It does not do this when the engine is up to normal operating temp, or if you wait 10-15 seconds before putting it into drive. I have not had this problem with any other vehicles I've owned.

Transmission will shudder while accelerating making the vehicle dangerous and difficult to control. Vehicle has been to the dealer multiple times and they have yet to fix it. Research has led me to believe that this is impacting many other Jeep's on the road today. I do not believe they are safe to be on the road until the problem is remedied.

My wife and I purchased a 2006 Jeep wk 4x4 on Feb 20 2006. As soon as we left the dealership with 150 miles on it the air bags malfunctioned and had to be repaired. About 1 week after the repairs they malfunctioned again and where fixed again only to malfunction 2 more times and the dealership said there was no problems and cleared the codes. At the 3000 mile service there was an oil leak on the front crank seal which was replaced. It has also been in the shop 5 times due to an engine malfunction light in which case there was a multiple cylinder misfire, the dealership said there where no problems and cleared the code every time only for it to come back on. I just picked my vehicle up from the dealer again because the crank pulley and dampener where wobbling real bad and the check engine light was on again for the same reason. All repairs where made and after I left the dealership 15 miles down the road the light came back on. The transmission shudders when I'm stopped and shifts real hard. The dealership said its fine and there is now evidence of that. All these incidents are ongoing since the day it was purchased.
