Driving a rental jeep in kauai, hit a small bump in road - the jeep went into a violent shimmy - would not stop until the vehicle came to a complete stop - then it behaved normal - this happened about 2 times on the 3rd day of the rental period and another 5 times over the 8 day rental period - should have requested a new jeep the first time it happened - the last day it happened 3 times on the way to the airport - my wife and kids were extremely upset - lost control of vehicle and almost was in a head on collision - ended up parking on the side of the road and called a taxi - I understand this is a common problem in jeeps - someone is going to get killed if jeep does not figure out what is going on and how to fix this problem -
2008 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4x4 transmission complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 42 of 42, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The 6-speed manual transmission in my brand new 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited makes noise, and vibrates horribly going over rough roads! The shifter slams back and forth making contact with metal undercarriage. The dealer says they know of this problem but chrysler currently has no fix and that it can even pop out of gear over rough terrain-terrible design!
