| I own a 2000 jeep wrangler which i bought new. recently i began having trouble shifting into second gear and sometimes it would pop out while driving. soon after i began to have brake issues and had a mechanic look at it. he said he had never seen a jeep rusted out so bad with so few miles on it and said it was a hazard to drive. he said the brake lines were rusted through as well as the support for the transmission . he said the frame was in terrible shape and said i was lucky the thing didn't fall apart while i was driving it. this vehicle only has 85,000 miles on it. *tr | |||

| I purchase this 2000 jeep wrangler from a toyota dealership and paid the coverage warranty during the time of purchase. when i purchased this vehicle i noticed there was a weilding underneath the axle and told the salesman about it and he said not to worry about it, it won't cause any damage. four months later the axle broke on a freeway for no reason. we told the jeep dealership to fix the problem. they didn't even help us with the problem and quoting us 1,000 dollars to get it fixed from a jeep wrangler dearlership. this problem was already there when we purchased this vehicle. they should have fixed it before selling it to us. the warrenty we purchased did not cover the damage because it wasn't under warrenty. so,they can not fix the problem and need to tow it to a professional body lifting shop. we towed it there and it cost us 500.00 to fix the damage that was already there in the beginning when we purchased the vehicle. | |||

| 2000 wrangler sport, 4.0 liter, 5-speed transmission - loud transmission noises at idle with clutch out. took it back to dealer (earnhardt's jeep in tempe) twice when vehicle still under warranty. dealer replaced clutch once, which resolved problem with gear sticking but not noise problem. dealer said noise problem common to that year and no fix as yet, but said i would be eligible for fix when factory developed one. went to tate's in holbrook yesterday. they showed me on computer that there is now a factory identified fix involving replacing a shaft and bushing or bearing in the transfer case, but said they won't fix mine since out of warranty. wrote a letter to earnhardt's but haven't heard anything yet. fix is 21-001-01 dated february, 2001. *la | |||

| I get a roaring sound from the transmission when the clutch is not depressed, and in neutral, but goes away when the clutch is depressed. if you turn the ignition off with the clutch not depressed the engine rattles and shakes. it's also hard to change gears after the jeep has been driven for 20 to 30 minutes, and it has popped out of gear several times. the first time it popped out of gear i was merging in traffic on the highway, and caused a truck behind me to run off the road to avoid hitting me. nobody was hurt, but they very well could have been. i have taken it to coker jeep and chrysler in texarkana, texas, and was told that they couldn't find any thing wrong, so i made them drive me around, and they saw what i was talking about. they were going to order, and change the throw out bearing, but i drove another 2000 jeep on there lot and it did the exact same thing, so they just wrote it off as normal, and have refused to do anything about it. i know i am only 1 person, but it seems to me that it would be in the best interest of chrysler to adress this problem instead of ignoring it. eventually somebody is going to die as a result, and chrysler will be in the same position as ford found theselves in, but chrysler won't have a tire company to blame it on. i also have a problem with the passenger side floofboard taking on water. it doesn't matter if it's raining or not, after an hour or so of driving with the a/c running the floor gets soaking wet. the floorboard around the drain hole on the passenger side is starting to show signs of rust. i have read the complaints on your website, and it seems to me that there are enough complaints about these problems that chrysler would do something about it. my jeep is 3 years old this month, and subsequent my factory warranty has run out. i would like some answers.*ak | |||

| Transmission is and was still very difficult to shift from second (2nd) gear after being driven for more than 20 minutes. it takes quite a lot of force and therefore creates a safety hazard for me. it also (the new transmission and the old transmission) makes noise (rather loud) when the clutch is not pressed in. *ak | |||

| Transmission makes a rattling noise at idle & when engaging clutch in 1st gear. it is very hard to get in and out of gear, somtimes it feels like your shifting with out a clutch. this problem has been since the jeep was bought new in july 2000. i took it to the dealership once they replaced clutch assembly. 2 days later it was doing the same thing again. its going back to service april 10th. ive read that several people have had the same problem with there jeeps. i think chrysler needs to solve the problem and correct it. i understand that every new car can have its problems, but chrysler needs to solve them and fix them!!! i dont want to have to take my new car to service every month to get a transmission or clutch put in it. if i was going to do that i would have bought a used one for about half the price!!! | |||

| My complaint is the same as all the others, this wonderful new transmission pops out of gear upon take off periodically. i've had two near miss collision in intersections when it pops out. transmission also sounds like it has a handfull of marbles in it. all the complaints make me feel better because if i ever get killed in an accident when it pops out of gear my wife can sue the pants off of chrysler! hopefully they will recall this before that happens.i will never buy another chrysler product!!! | |||

| A rattling/grinding noise comes from the transmission when in neutral. when brought to the dealer, they replaced the throw-out bearing. noise reoccured 2 days later and was brought back to the dealer. the dealership claimed they spoke to the engineers at the daimler chrysler manufacturer and the engineers stated that the noise was due to a manufacturing design change of the transmission in the 2000 jeep wranglers and that they used a new transmission oil which is thinner and when the car warms up the oil becomes even thinner and causes the rattling. the dealership also stated that the noise is normal.*ak | |||

| Transmission very noisy when in neutral with clutch out, also while driving. has on several occasions stuck in 2nd. gear. took back to dealer several times and was advised that there was nothing they could do, that they all sound that way. it has become louder with more mileage on the vehicle. i am to the point where i am considering selling vehicle. it sounds like a bucket of bolts and i do not want to wait until it fails completly. i have heard of numerous others with same problem who have had the transmissions replaced with no improvement. i am very disappointed in this vehicle. *ak | |||
| Transmission grinds when shifting into second gear most of the time... grinding is most noticable after the transmission has been driven for at least 15 minutes. the warmer the transmision gets the worse the shifting gets. i have had it pop out of gear twice when starting from a stop. the shifting is notchy in all of the gears especially 2nd gear. there is also a rattle while in neutral and it will not go into 1st at times, you must put it back in neutral and re engage the clutch for it to go into gear. *ak | |||

| Since the day i picked up my jeep from the dealer it has made a loud grinding/growling noise when it is in neutral with the cluch out. it sound like it would be the input shaft bearing to the tranny. at first when the dealer heard it they said it sounds like a bad bearing to them, but when i took it in to have them look at it further they said that the noise was normal. there are other problems with it popping out of gear and hard to shift, which i have not experianced yet but due to the noise i suspect that is not far away. | |||
