: the contact stated there is a problem with the gears which occurs at various speeds. While the shifter was in four-wheel drive it slipped to neutral. There was a whirling noise present when the shifter was in reverse and a grinding noise coming from the other gears. Upon inspecting the vehicle the dealership was unable to duplicate the problem. The vehicle was inspected a second time. The dealer tightened the gear leakages and determined the tab on the fan blower had broken and was causing the whirling noise. The blower fan is going to be replaced.

The gear shifter mechanism has a cable that connects to the ignition. When this mechanism fails and locks up vehicle stalls immediately. When this occurs the shifter sticks in the gear. This destroys the ignition. Dealership replaced the cable twice, but the problem recurred.

While driving 25mph shifted vehicle to 2nd gear from 1stgear. Put vehicle in 4-wheel drive, and in between shifting, vehicle jumped out of 4-wheel drive and shifted into 2nd gear. Applied gas, and vehicle went sideways. Slid down road into a ditch and hit telephone pole. Had tried to back up, and noticed vehicle was not in 4-wheel drive. Sometimes later had placed vehicle in 4-wheel drive, and due to snow it failed to go into 4-wheel drive mode. Checked under vehicle and noticed snow/ice had built up on skip plate. Cleared skip plate and was able to put it into 4-wheel drive.

Leaking fluid from the transfer case at, only 35000 miles to vehicle. The vehicle was always properly maintananced and never abused or gone off roading. A $212. 00 job at the dealer to replace seals. Is it to early for anything to leak, especially in a new vehicle?.

The shift stick popped out of its fixed location. I believe this could be a hazardous problem, luckily it happened when I brought my vehicle to a stop. For further reference- this vehicle is adult driven by myself only and is never taken off road. I purchased it with 31k miles. After removing the shifter boot, we noticed that there is no bolt or any other type of feature that actually secures the shifter in its location. I would be than happy to answer any other questions regarding this, to prevent a serious accidents transpiring from this defect. Thank you.

New transmission at 479 miles plus several other repairs. Speedometer off 8 miles per hour. This problem still has not been fixed. Ding in door post between windshield and driver's door on delivery. Wind noise above passenger door frame. Leaks around driver and back door seals. Oil gallery plug had to be replaced at 3,149 miles. Had to remove transmission and transfer case. Jeep was in shop for a total of 32 days in order to have all work accomplished. New transmission still not working correctly. Transmission jumps out of first gear sometimes when vehicle is moving forward. New transmission was installed, but problem of clunking sound during gear change and kicking out of gear is not solved. Was told by agency shop that Chrysler corporation had a new manfacturer for 2000 Jeep transmissions and the noise was just part of the lighter transmisson. Transmission still is noisy and sounds dry all the time. We are afraid to dirve the vehicle as we don't really have faith the transmission will hold up and we will be in trouble at some point in traffic.

Whike driving at 65mph on interstate transfer case came apart and front driveshaft fell out. When this happened the airbags deployed,windshield wipers came on, washer squirted, dash lights came on. The passenger air bag busted the windshield, and the face of the passenger. Her jaw is broken in three places and her four upper teeth were removed from their sockets. She required extensive reconstructive surgery, and is still in the hospital. Noothers objects or vehicles were involved. The driver beat the airbag down and safely parked the car in the median. Why did airbags deploy and with such force?.

Wheels locked up while in four wheel drive in ice conditions, resulting in vehicle accident.
