Power train, Dec 23, 2001, crash
AFTER BEING SIDE-SWIPED I EXITED MY VEHICLE LEAVING THE ENGINE RUNNING AND THE TRANSMISSION IN WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE PARK. AFTER A SHORT TIME MY VEHICLE, ON ITS OWN, BACKED INTO ANOTHER JEEP PARKED IN THE INTERSECTION BEHIND ME. AT THE TIME I BELIEVED I LEFT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. SOMETIME TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THIS YEAR I READ OF A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL STATING THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO STAY IN PARK BUT THE ARTICLE FURTHER STATED IT WAS FOR MODEL YEARS UP TO 1999 ONLY. SUBSEQUENTLY I READ THAT LATER MODELS ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM (A FLAT SPOT BETWEEN PARK AND REVERSE CAUSING THE TRTANSMISSION TO HOLD THE VEHICLE IN PARK WITHOUT THE DETENT LOCKING IT IN PARK). WITH THIS INFORMATION I TRIED TO SIMULATE THE PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE. TO MY SURPRISE I COULD EASILY SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION ONTO THE FLAT SPOT WITHOUT THE PARK DETENT LOCKING INTO PARK AND WITH JUST THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH OF THE SHIFTING LEVER CAUSE THE TREANSMISSION TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THIS COULD ONLY BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. I NOW QUESTION IF THE SECOND PART OF MY ACCIDENT (MY VEHICLE BACKING INTO THE CAR BEHIND MINE) WAS CAUSED BY THIS DESIGN FLAW IN THE TRANSMISSION. I REPORTED MY FINDINGS TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER BUT WAS TOLD "...TO TALK WITH THE BODY SHOP THAT REPAIRED THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE" (I DID NOT TSLK WITH THE BODY SHOP AS THIS SOLUTION SOUNDED RIDICULOUS).*AK

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 THE END OF MY DRIVE. THIS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES, ONCE STOPPING ONLY BECAUSE IT STOPPED UP AGAINST MY WIFE'S CAR. I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY AT FIRST--NOW I WON'T LEAVE THIS VEHICLE ON A FLAT SURFACE WITHOUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. RECENTLY, THE TRUCK DEVELOPED A HUGE, AND FRIGHTENING "CLUNK" BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR I BELIEVE. AGAIN, I DID NOT MAKE MUCH OF THIS UNTIL THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON MORE OR LESS PERMANENTLY. THE TRUCK WILL NO LONGER SHIFT INTO APPROPRIATE GEAR, HAS POOR ACCELERATION AND WORSENING GAS MILAGE, AND RUNS AT ERRATIC AT BEST RPMS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TOO THE DEALER WHO ON THE FIRST VISIT TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE WAY OUT THE LOT. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK ABOUT A WEEK LATER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ABOUT $250 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. A WEEK LATER, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, ANGRY THAT I HAD FOUND MY EXACT PROBLEM ON A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITEN FROM CHRYSLER ITSELF. THE DEALER ALTHOGH VERY NICE BASICALLY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT A COST OF SOME (AT LEAST) $3,000.00. I AM TAKING THE CAR BACK NEXT WEEK TO HAVE THE DEALER TEAR DOWN THE TRANSMISSION, AFTER HAVING ATTEMPTED TO SPEAK TO THE DISTRICT MANAGER, WHO MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARRED UPON MY ARRIVAL. HAVING READ NOW VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS TO MINE ON THIS INTERNET SIGHT, I AM NOW TORN BETWEEN LETTING THEM REPAIR IT TO WHAT SEEMS LIKE NO AVAIL , FILING A LAWSUIT, OR TRADING THE VEHICLE IN AND LOSING A TON OF MONEY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.*AK
