THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SALMON RIVER MOTORS (1065 SOUTH CHILLIS STREET, SALMON, IDAHO 83467, (208) 756-4211) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED.

WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AT APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MILES AN HOUR ON A CITY STREET THE SHIFT LEVER (PART OF THE MANUAL NSG370 TRANSMISSION) DISLOCATED FROM THE SHIFTER MECHANISM. THE SHIFT LEVER (P/N 52060064AG ) WAS ALLOWED AN UNSAFE AMOUNT OF PLAY AND WAS ABLE TO TURN SEVERAL DEGREES IN BOTH CLOCK AND COUNTER CLOCK WISE DIRECTIONS. THIS PREVENTED ACCESS TO SOME GEARS WHILE DRIVING. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE RUBBER BUSHING WITHIN THE METAL CYLINDER HOUSING OF THE SHIFT LEVER WAS CRACKED AND NO LONGER PROVIDED ADEQUATE TENSION TO HOLD THE SHIFT LEVER IN PLACE. AS A TEMPORARY FIX, I REMOVED THE SHIFT LEVER FROM THE SHIFTER MECHANISM AND WRAPPED A SINGLE STRIP OF DUCT TAPE AROUND THE RUBBER BUSHING. AFTER REINSTALLING THE SHIFT LEVER THERE WAS ENOUGH TENSION FOR ME TO ENGAGE EVERY GEAR WITHOUT ANY NOTABLE PLAY.

VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED A RATTLE IN THE CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY. SEARCHES FOR OTHER PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THIS YIELD NUMEROUS REPORTS OF CLUTCH THROW OUT BEARING FAILURES. IT AFFECTS SHIFTING AND CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT NEGATIVELY. MAKES IT HARD TO POSITIVELY ENGAGE SHIFTS AT SPEED. MINE HAS NOT YET FAILED BUT THE DEALERSHIP AND JEEP HAVE BOTH BEEN VERY RESISTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CLEARLY AFFECTS NUMEROUS MANUAL TRANSMISSION WRANGLERS DATING BACK TO ~2008. A PERSONAL ACQUAINTANCE ALSO HAD A CLUTCH THROW OUT BEARING FAIL ON THE HIGHWAY (SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE). HE IS CURRENTLY PURSUING REPLACEMENT OF VEHICLE AFTER MASSIVE DAMAGE DONE FROM THROW OUT BEARING FAILURE. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT MY VEHICLE HAD ALREADY HAD THE SHIFTER REPLACED (RECALL FAILURE). THIS ISSUE IS SEPARATE FROM THE SHIFTER LINKAGE RECALL. I'VE ATTACHED SOME DOCUMENTATION BELOW (A SMALL SAMPLING OF THE USERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS)

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE ENGINE JUST DIED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I PUT IT IN GEAR IT ACTED AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. I THEN SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT AND IT DROVE FINE. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY (COULD OCCUR TWICE IN ONE DAY OR NOT FOR 2 WEEKS) AND AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS (CITY AND HIGHWAY). I ALSO HAVE HAD RANDOM MISFIRE CODES AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CODES. SOMETIMES THE CODES CLEAR ON THEIR OWN AND I HAVE HAD TO RESET THE CODES WITH A TUNER. I SPOKE TO THE DEALER AND IT WILL BE AROUND A WEEK BEFORE THEY CAN LOOK AT IT, EVEN IN LIGHT OF THE DANGER FOR AN ENGINE JUST DYING.

BROKEN SHIFTER. WAS OUT IN THE COUNTRY AND AFTER LUNCH I WAS ABOUT TO START DRIVING BACK HOME AND FELT THE SHIFTER KINDA LOOSE. AS I PULLED INTO THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED I WASN'T ABLE TO SHIFT 5TH OR 6TH GEAR AND THEN NOTICED THE SHIFTER WAS ABLE TO ROTATE... CRAZY. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO SELECT A GEAR, GOOD THING IS THAT I WAS ALREADY ON THE HIGHWAY AND NO NEED TO DOWNSHIFT ALTHOUGH HAD TO DRIVE ONLY IN 5TH GEAR AS IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO SELECT 6TH GEAR. I AM CLOSE TO THE HIGHWAY SO AS SOON AS I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, I DROVE HOME; IT WAS A BIT SCARY; I THOUGHT I HAD BROKEN SOMETHING. AS SOON AS I GOT HOME AND PARKED MY JEEP I CONTACTED A COUPLE OF FRIENDS AND TOLD ME TO EITHER TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY OR CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AS MAYBE A TOW TRUCK WOULD BE NEEDED. NEXT DAY IN THE MORNING, DECIDED TO GIVE IT A TRY AND DROVE IT, VERY CAREFULLY, TO THE DEALER (IS LIKE 3 MILES AWAY FROM MY PLACE). ONCE THERE, THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME SHE HADN'T SEEN OR KNOWN OF A SIMILAR ISSUE AND THAT YES, THE SHIFTER WAS EITHER LOOSE OR BROKEN. FIXED UNDER WARRANTY IN 4 DAYS, NO EXPLANATION. I TOLD HER WHEN I PICKED IT UP THAT TO ME IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAD DROVE IT WITHOUT KNOWING THE FULL EXTENT OF THE ISSUE.

THE SHIFTER ON MY MANUAL 2016 JEEP WRANGLER BROKE TODAY WHILE I WAS GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT ALMOST CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT. THERE ARE 4,000 MILES ON THE CAR. IT FELT LIKE IT BECAME DISENGAGED AND WAS TURNING SIDEWAYS AND MAKING CRACKLING SOUNDS, LIKE BROKEN BONES. IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO PUT INTO GEAR OR TO KNOW WHICH GEAR THE CAR WAS IN. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER AND AM WAITING FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. A QUICK GLANCE THROUGH A JEEP FORUM AND I FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME EXACT DESCRIPTION. ALL 2016 JEEP WRANGLERS. THEY MENTION HAVING TO REPLACE A FAULTY PART (52060064AG). ISSUES ARE STARTING TO BECOME WELL DOCUMENTED HERE: HTTP://WWW.WRANGLERFORUM.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?P=27212978

MY 2016 MANUAL JEEP RUBICON UNLIMITED (APPROX 14K MILES) DROVE/SHIFTED FINE ON MY WAY TO WORK (ABOUT 3 MILES, VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC) LAST NIGHT, BUT WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE JEEP TO HEAD HOME, THE STICK-SHIFT WAS ALL CADDY WOMPUS AND I STRUGGLED TO GET IT INTO GEAR TO BACK OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE. IT FELT LIKE IT HAD TWISTED SIDEWAYS AND FALLEN DOWN. TO GET IT INTO 1ST GEAR, I HAD TO SHOVE IT FAR TO THE LEFT TOWARD THE STEERING WHEEL, AND FOR 2ND GEAR, I HAD TO PRACTICALLY JAM THE SHIFTER INTO MY LEG. FINDING NEUTRAL AND REVERSE WAS TRICKY--THE WHOLE SHIFTER MECHANISM FELT LIKE BROKEN BONES AND MUSH. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME (THANKFULLY A SHORT DRIVE ON BACK ROADS WHERE I COULD GO SLOW AND THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC) BUT WAS BAFFLED BY HOW IT WAS FINE EARLIER, THEN SUDDENLY JUNK. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON A TRIP SOMEWHERE WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE JEEP. A TOW TRUCK PICKED IT UP THIS MORNING AT OUR HOME BECAUSE DRIVING IT 16 MILES TO THE DEALER IN THE CITY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC (NOT KNOWING IF SHIFTING WOULD BE AN OPTION) SEEMED VERY DANGEROUS. THE REP AT THE JEEP DEALER SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE, HOWEVER I DISCOVERED MANY PEOPLE ON WRANGLERFORUM.COM HAVE REPORTED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. WITHOUT HEARING BACK FROM THE DEALER YET TO VERIFY, IT APPEARS TO BE THE 52060064AG LEVER GEARSHIFT / BUSHING THAT HAS MALFUNCTIONED/BROKEN. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT MY FIRST EVER AMERICAN MADE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE CHEAP JUNK. IN ADDITION TO THIS POTENTIALLY VERY SERIOUS ISSUE, THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER MINOR IRRITATING ISSUES SUCH AS THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR SIMPLY FALLING OFF WHILE DRIVING, AND THE FENDER OVER THE REAR WHEEL FALLING OFF. THINGS LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH A NEW "TOUGH" (AND RELATIVELY EXPENSIVE) VEHICLE. I AM DISAPPOINTED AND, FRANKLY, PISSED. DOES QUALITY EVEN EXIST ANYMORE?

I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC JEEP RUBICON 2016 UNLIMITED. IT DIED DURING MOTION AFTER SHIFTING TO REVERSE FROM DRIVE. I WAS DOING A SHARP TURN WHERE I NEEDED TO GO BACK IMMEDIATELY AND JUST WHEN I SHIFT REVERSE (DURING PRESSING THE BRAKES LIKE NORMALLY EVERYBODY DOES) IT SHUT DOWN. THEN, I PUT IN PARK AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THE REVERSE (IDLING BUT NOT MOVING). I HAD TO PUT IT OFF (AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK) AND START IT AGAIN. AT THE SECOND TIME IT RECOGNIZED REVERSE AND WORKED FINE FOR NOW. NO CODES DURING THE INCIDENT. MY CASE IS SIMILAR TO THE COMPLAINT: NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10850113.

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION'S SHIFT LEVER BECAME LOOSE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. THE LEVER WOULD ROTATE 360 DEGREES AROUND ITS CENTER AND EVENTUALLY COME COMPLETELY OFF OF ITS MOUNT. WHEN ROTATED, THE OFFSET IN THE SHIFT LEVER BEING AT A NEW ANGLE WOULD LEAD TO SHIFTING BEING OBSTRUCTED BY THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER'S LEGS AND SEATS. AFTER COMING OFF OF ITS MOUNT WHILE STATIONARY GEAR SELECTION BECAME IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT REPAIR. DEALER WOULD EVENTUALLY COMPLETE A REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. ITEMS NOTED ON THE SERVICE ORDER: LEVER: 52060064AG, SCREW: 6506668AA, PCM UPDATE FLASHED
