My jgc has had off and on problems since i bought it virtually. Not being a particularly complaint oriented person, i at first attributed the transmission problem on this truck to the fact that i had never owned a 4wd vehicle before. From the outset this truck shuddered when in a tight turn, either direction. During the first winter ii owned it, i left it in my driveway in park only to come out later to find it at…

Transmission will not shift into park. When you shift into park, then release the shifter, the shifter moves backward into park. Very dangerous. Thank you.*ak

Automatic Transmission · Rotor
Disc brakes continually need work. Rotors warp and must be turned every 10,000 miles! Now the automatic transmission won't shift out of 2nd gear until the car is warmed up. What next? The brake maintenance alone has cost me nearly $2,000. This is a $30,000 vehicle and should not require this much maintenance! *la

Automatic Transmission · Differential Unit
The quadra drive system includes the differential, transmission, and gerotor couplings and pumps. When the automatic transmission is shifting from one gear to the next it hesitates in neutral long enough for all the power to be transferred to the front wheels. When the transimssion does engage the next gear all of the power is transferred back to the rear wheels resulting in a loud thud. I do not know how the…

Automatic Transmission · Vehicle Speed Control
I picked up my vehicle during lunch and noticed the noise en route to airport (travel for work). 72 hours had lapsed before my return date. The car kept making a "revving" noise and ticked/clicked if i did not push the gas pedal down to accelerate quickly. It still makes that noise and the transmission (i was told by a non jeep mechanic) sounds like it is winding up fast even though the car is moving slow (like a 10…

Automatic Transmission · Vehicle Speed Control
The speed control will not hold a consistant speed, it will slowly drop in speed on level ground, down hill, and up hill. When the speed drops to a certain level the transmission will shift to a lower gear and then founder some more. The dealership doesn't seem to be able to find anything wrong with the unit from their computer checking. I have been to the dealership 4 times with no luck. *ak
