Five problems related to transmission slip out of gear have been reported for the 2010 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Jeep Wrangler 2dr sahara (lhd) manual transmission. Vehicle jumps out of 1st gear and goes into neutral with a loud bang. This has happened numerous times. I found out that you have to push the stick into 1st gear real well and the problem stops.
With increasing frequency, my Jeep jumps out of first gear while accelerating away from a stop. Even with my hand on the shift lever, holding my vehicle in first gear, it will at times jump out of gear with a violent metal-on-metal collision sound. Several times this has happened when crossing or joining traffic at an intersection, and is very dangerous.
2010 Jeep Wrangler jumps out of first gear under acceleration. Average rate of occurrence is 2 times a day. Vehicle was purchased new in December of 2009. Problem reported to tate Jeep in frederick, MD in March. Dealership removed inner and outer shifter boots and returned the vehicle to me with instructions to drive the vehicle without the boots installed to see if the problem recurs. Dealership notified 1 week later that the problem remained; they responded that they would call me back to schedule a service appointment. After three weeks, I called the dealership to inquire as to their plan; they informed me that they had forgotten to order the parts. For the last 2 months I have been driving the Jeep without the inner and outer shifter boots and of course the problem remains. There has been no attempt from the dealer to contact me. The vehicle prevents a safety problem as it can and will jump out of first gear when pulling into traffic and when trying to ascend hills; all of which risk a vehicle collision. Additionally when the shifter jumps, it does so with enough force to cause significant pain and risk injury if ones hand happen to be in the way.
2010 Jeep Wrangler 2dr, manual transmission. Transmission jumps out of 1st gear. The transmission will jump out of 1st gear (jog) into neutral when beginning to accelerate from a dead stop. This event occurs every so often without any warning whatsoever. The vehicle has 630 miles on it and this jumping out of gear has happened on more than a dozen occasions already. It has already put me in an unsettling situation, occurring while attempting to cross oncoming traffic. If it wasn't for quick reactions and a wide berth, an accident would have been unavoidable. It is only a matter of time where a person whose vehicle is suffering from defect is involved in an incident. Brought the vehicle in for service but the proposed fix (inner boot replacement and/or modification) has failed as the vehicle still jumps out of gear. Chrysler is aware of the issue but has only issued recommendations for how to potentially resolve the issue which do not always work (see previous sentence).
Jeeps keep jumping out of first gear. . . .
