problem #10

Gear shifter "slipped" to the left. I was only able to use 1st and 3rd gears! when using 1st gear, the gear shifter was against my right knee!! I was not able to "find" 2nd gear! I took my Jeep to the dealership for repairs as it is not safe to drive! "investigating" online, specifically Wrangler forums, there are other drivers who have had this problem. It seems there is a faulty bushing that breaks!

Jeep leaks everytime it rains. Leaks on both sides but passenger side is the worse. Soaks the floors and passenger side seat. Drips out from under the dash as well on passenger side. Water can cause electrical issues under the dash, moisture in floor and seat cause the windows to fog up at times which makes it difficult to see out of, and presence of a mildew smell will eventually turn into mold. Vehicle has been in shop many times and still not repaired.

Horn does not honk when depressed or there may be a delay til the horn actually sounds. At times it does not even honk at all. Major safety issue. Please address. This occurs whether the vehicle is stationary or moving. Happens every single time. I have checked on forums and everyone has the same issue.

Roof leaks and soaks carpet on passenger side floor everytime it is parked in the rain or snow and causes windows to fog up because of moisture in the cockpit and creates a safety problem not being able to see in our cold Wisconsin climate, vehicle has been at dealer twice now for that problem and it has less than 2000 miles on it.

I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler unlimited with 20,000 miles., today I was going up a hill stopped at a mailbox then started to take off and the motor stalled while in drive. It cased me to roll back about 3' befor I could hit the brake almost caused a accident. I then restarted the Jeep placed it back in drive and it wouldn't move! it acted like it was in neutral. I also tried reverse still wouldn't do nothing. So I rolled to a flat spot in the road check the trans fluid, it was good then turned it of checked the oil, it was good to. Then started it back up and put it in drive and it was working fine again!
