Gears pop out while in reverse and grind when in reverse my Jeep is covered in rust and sounds like it's about to fall apart the dealership actually sold me a brand new rusty Jeep that they refused to replace even Chrysler is giving me a hard time. I had several leaks around the doors window and the top and still they refuse as well as me and my grandson have cut out hands on sharp edges on all the seats and two of the rear seat the seat belts don't work.
I'm unable to get my Jeep in reverse a lot of the time and the gears are constantly grinding being that I paid an additional in upgraded track. Misrepresentation from the dealership( gwinnett Dodge Jeep ram) they altered my paperwork and committed fraud. My Jeep I purchased brand new is covered in rust and I've submitted warranty twice. They keep deleting actual information from other dealerships that have reported the rust oxidation problem. This Jeep is dangerous I've cut my hand sever times on this Jeeps seats because of the rough edges from factory where they cut to fit in my Jeep. So rough that my grandson grabbed his ball and the seat gashed his hand as well. This Jeep shakes so much when driving over 50 at times. As well it is very loud when on the hwy. The soft top on my Jeep seems like it may be to big and the extreme shaking is very loud scary when driving on hwy. My grandson and I are mostly in this Jeep and we get hurt from the design of the seats. This is covered in excessive rust. The gears are not safe and never able to go into reverse. This Jeep is not safe to have. If you reach under the seat you will definitely gash your hands open. The actual deal ship is fraud. The engine on my Jeep and the speakers installed in my Jeep are not that of what is on the window sticker and I do have my original window stick still. . Everything I've done it gets blocked somehow and Chrysler will not do anything. Everything is either been deleted from their system. I've reported this issue when discovering it as well as in the roof of my Jeep alone new at that finding about 10 leaks over a year ago. I have no carpet and my Jeep smells like the swamp. They will eventually hear my story because I will never give this up and accept this. My grandson is only 3and he has hurt himself on this Jeep a few times as well.
The transmission was replaced at 2262 miles on 2/7/17. At 7056 miles I returned the Jeep to the dealer on 12/27/18 because of a audible knocking sound from the transmission when cold.
The 6 speed manual transmission has a "reverse synchronizer " that is faulty. Chrysler Jeep has the parts on backorder for more than 6 months and they can not honor their factory warranty. I'm being told to keep driving my brand new Jeep that grinds going into and pops out of reverse while driving. They are down playing this problem in an attempt to deceive customers.
See police report and attached pictures. Driving slow on a backstreet at less than 25 miles p\h. Brand new 2017 stock Jeep Wrangler sport. Less than 6,000 miles. I am now a horrified woman that knows nothing about why my new Jeep Wrangler catches on fire out of no where while in motion! once we saw fire flames, smoke and red oil on fire coming out from engine area and below the vehicle drivers side, we quickly stopped on residential street. Me, my 70 year old mother who is sick and my 24 year old autistic daughter had to jump out of this fire trap vehicle screaming and crying!!! this was an unexplained and spontaneous fire!!! why? no reason behind it and nothing that I did to cause it. The fire was luckily and quickly extinguished by good samaritans and city workers near by. The fire department was called and showed up along with police officer. Fire department told me to write a complaint on these vehicles because they have had to respond to many Jeep Wrangler fires in the last 10 years. I was shocked and horrified, how can this be??? how bad this could have turn out to be if city workers where not near by with a fire extinguisher?. Jeep needs to be investigated. Please protect the consumers and Jeep Wrangler owners who are unaware of these fire traps. This is serious and dangerous fire issues on Jeep Wranglers. I pray you start an instigation and recall so that nobody else has to go through this horrific experience!.
Automatic transmission on 2017 Jeep Wrangler unlimited failed after 4000 miles. Dealership/fca replaced throttle body, entire transmission, torq converter, as well as transcooler system. No explaination as to failure. Vehicle prior to loss being used for daily commute. Outside of simply replacing major parts on brand new vehicle there has been little if any support on dealership/fca side.
New vehicle with symptoms of excessive/severe shaking of shifter when traveling over a rough road. The left side of the transmission mount was not functioning correctly allowing excessive movement of drive train.
Jeep Wrangler's manual transmission does not have a reverse lockout and pop's out of reverse routinely when power is applied or you pump the clutch after already successfully entering reverse. The vehicle operator must manually hold the gear shift lever in the reverse position to maintain reverse. This has manifested at around the 500 mile mark and progressively worsened my current odometer reading is 1656. Additionally the lack of a reverse lockout or special procedure to enter reverse is missing making it possible for the operator to mistakenly grind the reverse gears at highway speeds when transitioning from 5th to 6th gear.
