Vehicle is attractive and functional. air bags probably saved the wife's life in a t bone accident. the air conditioner and heater work great. there is too much plastic...everywhere! seats are uncomfortable on long trips. water pump locked up with just over 50k miles. transmission is self destructing at 62k miles this month. it seems the transmission has no dip stick for the owner to check the fluid. if it did the transmission problem could have been noticed sooner. now we must pay for a transmission and labor because it is out of warranty, $4k! the vehicle gets regular use in county, city and highway trips. on nice paved texas roads. it is well maintained and only driven by two adults, age 72.i believe there is a quality issue with the drivetrain parts. we have owned other jeeps. they had the old reliable inline 6cyl engine and three speed transmission. very reliable.

While driving, the gear shift slips out of gear without the clutch being used. this is a manual transmission and at 155,000 miles, this is low mileage in my consideration for this to be happening. this is a safety hazard for myself or any other cars around.
