The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler sahara. The contact stated that the gear shifter cable failed and the vehicle gear would not engage in park.

The vehicle was not taken to the dealer and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 90,000 and the current mileage was 105,000.
2007 Jeep Wrangler with a manual 6-speed transmission. When starting from a stop 1st gear will disengage (pop-out) transmission when the clutch is released. Does not happen everytime but occasionally, with no warning, often leaving one in the middle of oncoming traffic unable to accelerate without having to re-engage 1st gear or going directly to 2nd gear.
