2005 Jeep Wrangler: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Feb 22, 2019 · Transmission · 65,000 miles · CA

I get a code that pops up after being on the highway for a time that says something regarding transmission. Also the transmission is slow to shift between drive and reverse sometimes and grinds (auto trans). There have been multiple reports of PCM issues that require rebuild or replacement but availability is scarce. Could be poor design.

Multiple defective 6 speed manual transmissions. I have had three transmissions installed in my jeep, and all have the same problems, hard to pull out of first, and grinding during up shifts from first to second and second to third. I have found multiple other owners of the same vehicle on the internet that have the same problem, but chrysler has not come up with fix for the problem. The issue can be hazardous, if you are trying to accelerate in traffic, you can't because the transmission won't go into gear.

My 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited began having an intermittent squeak this summer. At the end of october the dealer informed me that the vehicle needs the brake pads and rotors replaced and that this item was not covered under warranty. The vehicle has only 26,000 miles and I have never had to replace brake pads this early in other vehicles I have owned. I called the chrysler customer care line and was told that they could do nothing about the problem.

Dt*: 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.

Six speed manual transmission grinds going into reverse/ pops out of reverse. Dealership provided technical bulletin stating this condition will lead to an eventual loss of forward drive gears if not corrected. However, problem was unable to be duplicated on several occasions and subsequently was not repaired.
