2009 Jeep Wrangler 2-DR 4x4 transmission problems

Filed Feb 5, 2019 · Engine, Suspension · NM

When I purchased the vehicle I had noticed it made a noice , I had a mechanic take a look at it and mentioned the sub frame was welded and that the car was very rusted and falling apart. I went back with in the 15 days and under 500 miles and brought it to jason's attention (the person ho sold me the vehicle, jason argued that all jeeps sub frames are like that from factory, even tried comparing it to another jeep he had. I had took the jeep to a few shops for evaluation and all of them came back with the same bad results that the car was a safety hazard. The vehicle was advertised at dealer "that car place" as a good reliable and safe car. My big cocern is that I know very little about cars and I don't feel comfortable in a car that has safety hazards for others and my own safety.I had requested a different vehicle and the reply I gt from jason was that he couldn't do that because he had brought down the price an had given me a discount. I don't think its fair for him to use that excuse and deny my request just because I didn't ask him to it was by his choice.

2009 jeep wrangler x 2 door manual transmission transmission first gear pops out of gear during acceleration. Shift to first, let off of clutch with or without throttle applied and the transmission will kick out of first gear, leaving the vehicle and occupants in neutral in an intersection, or on train tracks from a stop, forcing quick clutch pedal application and shifting into first again, with the problem most often recurring. This happens every time the vehicle is driven. This does not happen in 3rd of 5th gear. Dealer did a diagnosis paid for by owner, and determined it was the 1/2 gear and synchro gears. Chrysler has a technical service bulletin that I was ineligible. Vehicle had 20k miles when purchased, 25000 when diagnosed, now at 46,000 miles, with an even more often occurrence.

Vehicle jumps out of 1st gear when you are pulling out. It almost broke my wrist. Dealer refuses to fix unless they can replicate the problem. Even though they have a service bulletin issued on april 20, 2010. This is very unsafe. Can someone help me?

2009 jeep wrangler 2dr 4wd w/6speed manual transmission. This is a known problem according to a recent dealership service visit that they are "fully aware of". The gear shift frequently pops out of 1st gear while starting from a standstill. Vehicle has 28,000 miles on it, issue had begun at about 16-18k. It began as a sporadic issue and has become more frequent, approx 1-2 times per month. On the service visit 1/20/2011, dealership was of no help as they could not replicate the problem and no repair or advice was given. Vehicle will be out of warrenty in approx 8000k. This common issue will then be on the hands of the owner. It is actually more of a safety issue as there is no warning when it'll pop out of gear as one pulls into the flow of traffic and then suddenly becomes immobile posing a serious t-bone potential. Surprising, the total lack of responsibility on the dealership/auto manufacturer regarding this issue since it is so well known to the service department.

Over 8 times in the past month my 2009 jeep wrangler has violently slipped out of first gear when trying to accelerate. When this happens the car stops suddenly and there is a loud bang like one would expect in a rear end collision. I am lucky this has not happened while in an intersection or while trying to avoid a collision. The dealership will not even look into the problem if they cannot re-create the incident which happens at unpredictable times. This has the potential for serious injury not only for me but others.

2007-2010 jeep jk wrangler (all models) manual 6 speed transmission transmission violently jumps out of gear (jog) in first and second gear when starting from a stop.

In addition, this is a safety concern as the vehicle can become momentarily unable to accelerate from a stop or slow speed (I.e. Avoiding other vehicles, objects etc.).

2009 jeep wrangler 2 door 6-speed manual transmission - pops out of 1st gear randomly. Happens when starting from a stop - loud banging noise. Brought to dealership 2 times already and because they can't replicate the issue can't do anything about it. Major safety concern. Car has 14000 miles but jog started at approx 1,000 miles. Jeep needs to be accountable for this. Researching on internet shows numerous complaints on same problem with little help from jeep or chrysler. Are we jeeps "toyota" victims?

When starting from a stop, the vehicle will take some time to start accelerating, with the delay being in the order of 2 seconds or more. When merging, the vehicle sometimes loses power if you step on the accelerator hard. When driving the vehicle and accelerating gently, it sometimes hesitates or 'bucks' and then gains power.
