| I have a 2009 jeep unlimited wrangler x 4 door. the jeep is only 2 years old on 1/20/2011 at 39313 transmission oil cooler pipes had to be replaced. wondering if there are other jeeps with this problem. i had to pay out of pocket because the 5 year warranty i bought from acura dealer would not cover the issue. i bought the car used in september of 2009 from the acura dealer with 13,000 miles on it. this issue should have been covered. it if i did not fix the problem, i would have to replace the transmission. | |||

| 2009 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon leaks axle oil from right front axle seal onto tire. seal was first replaced in june 2010, then in august, and is scheduled again for oct 2010 replacement. vehicle currently has 24k miles. jeep dealer replaced seals first two times and is scheduled again for replacement by dealer in october. leaking seal is a hazard as axle oil is leaking onto tire and could cause loss of control. vehicle is not modified in any way that would account for the leak. | |||

| Randomly as you start in first gear from a dead stop the transmission shifter jumps out of first into neutral. the jump happens so violently that the first time it happened i had to make sure i was not rear ended. with this jumping out of gear i fear that driving into rush hour traffic i could be in an accident because of the loss of movement going into or thru traffic. | |||

| Incident has occurred since purchase of the new vehicle. about 50% of the time, the standard transmission will thrust out of 1st gear when attempting to accelerate. this often is dangerous when pulling into busy traffic or merging onto crowded highways. dealership and manufacturer have been unresponsive. *tr | |||

| Manual transmission spontaneously pops out of gear in cold weather. this results in a moving vehicle being in neutral. after failing to remedy the problem chrysler advises to leave the vehicle parked in neutral with the parking brake on in cold weather. this does not fix the problem and is warned against in the owner's manual. *tr | |||
