| Transmission. saturday morning taking pop up trailer and kids to go camping. drove about five miles to get gas without problem. leaving gas station felt as if the car lost traction. did the same thing when stopped at stop sign. traveled on expressway without problem at basic constant speed. but when at camp ground tried to go up hill at slow speed lost all forward movement started to roll back down the hill. luckily there was no cars behind me and a spot to roll back uncontrolled into (no reverse either) and the person who did come up help to push trailer into spot and then rolled jeep into spot next to it. no drive no reverse, attempted several times hoping the (apparent no so better) idea of being able to move between drive, neutral, and reverse without pushing the button had a problem. check fluid level on trans and it was ok. after a few minutes of waiting started the jeep and was able to put it in drive and go later to return to pick up trailer. appointment with trans person on 10/26/10 at half the cost of dealer to find out what the problem is now with this jeep with 67,000 miles on it. jeep needs to look into there products. starting with the brakes at 30,000 miles (warped rotor) was told by dealer there was no problems they knew about, only a month later got card about class action suit. problem existed on both the 03 laredo and 02 wrangler. since electric window piece of plastic broke on assembly must replace whole thing, o2 sensors 3 of the 4 needed to be replaced one because it was ran next to exhaust pipe and wore through shorting wires, fan and relay (inside bumper) told cut hole in bumper to get to it and more. some dangerous ( transmission, possible safety cutting hole in bumper area), some silly (running wire with or without cover along a very hot exhaust pipe) and last just money making schemes ( electric window assembly with a piece of plastic witch is going to break with the hot and cold. or fan motor) both you must buy the whole assembly. | |||
