TRANSMISSION (5SPEED) JUMPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR ALL THE TIME WHEN STARTING FROM A STANDING START. HAS DONE THIS SINCE THE NIGHT I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP ASK ME TO DRIVE IT FOR A FEW MILES TO SEE IF IT WOULD CLEAR UP, IT DIDN'T. HAS GOTTEN ME INTO TROUBLE SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TRYING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. *AK

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN EXCESS OF 70MPH WHEN I HIT A VERY MINOR IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SHAKE/HOP AND STEERING BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE I NEARLY CAUSED A MAJOR PILE UP ON I-35. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND I'VE OWNED THE CAR VERY LITTLE TIME. LUCKILY I GAINED CONTROL BEFORE A CATASTROPHIC EVENT HAPPENED. THIS IS 100% A JEEP DESIGN FLAW IT IS REFERRED TO AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AND NO IF ANDS OR BUTS; THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. ALL WE AS BUYERS ASK IS TO BE PUT IN A SAFE AND FUNCTIONAL VEHICLE. MY CHILD HAS TO RIDE IN THIS CAR. THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER THE NATION. IT IS NOT OK FOR THIS TO GO ON ANY LONGER. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE LIVES ARE AT STAKE. IS THAT NOT IMPORTANT ANYMORE? PLEASE WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS SO YOU CAN VIEW WHAT THE WHEELS AND CAR ACTUALLY DO AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND EXACTLY HOW SERIOUS THIS IS. *TR
