Problems with 2008 Jeep Wrangler POWER TRAIN

Tl*the contact owns a 2008 jeep wrangler sahara. while driving approximately 15 mph on normal road conditions, the transmission slipped erratically between second gear. the failure occurred without warning. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing and they stated that the failure was related to the transmission plate. the vehicle was repaired. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 2,600 and current mileage was 2,900.

During mild acceleration from a full stop, in first gear, the manual transmission jumped out of first gear into neutral. a very loud and jarring clang occurred simultaneously with the incident. during the next three years this was a rare and consistent occurrence. as of the summer of 2012 this has become a daily occurrence. this creates a dangerous situation where vehicle drivers behind me may assume that the forward motion of my vehicle will continue and accelerate where in reality the acceleration of my vehicle comes to an abrupt halt and the vehicle speed decreases until i am able to re-engage the transmission. *js

The vehicle is a manual transmission. the vehicle randomly keeps popping out of gear and goes on neutral when driving on 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear. when that happens, the vehicle cannot be accelerated and come to almost a complete stop. obviously this situation poses a serious danger that can result to accidents and possible lose of lives. despite numerous attempts, chrysler fails to resolved the problem. yet, ironically, although many owners of jeep wrangler 2007 - 2011 with manual transmission have reported the problem to chrysler, the have not put any recall for that very alarming defect. *tr

I have a 2008 jeep wrangler x, manual transmission. the vehicle keeps popping our of gear on its own which often results in a sudden and unpredictable stop in the middle of the road. this occurs when the vehicle is accelerated after a complete stop, the problem also displays anytime while driving on 1st , 2nd or 3rd gear. sometimes, after having stop for a red light or a stop sign, i put the car on 1st gear to drive away but the car would move a few feet but then it pops out right back to neutral. as a result, my vehicle would stop completely and the driver behind me often almost hits my vehicle from the back. the same thing happens when i am turning a curve. i must add that the vehicle makes a loud noise when it pops out of gear causing me, as the driver, to loose some control and concentration. i believe, because of this problem, my car is an accident waiting to happen. i have reported the problems to the manufacturer and the dealer at least five times but they keep saying they do not know what the problem is and are not able to fix it. i am fearful for my safety and that of other drivers because of this problem with my car. i would strongly urge your organization to immediately investigate this matter. *tr

Fuel overflows when refueling. overflow occurs even without filling the tank. parking brake doesn't work unless you pull it up very hard and still doesn't keep it from rolling. air conditioner doesn't cool. it has been in the service department several times for repair. blows "smoke" from vents. a loud "knock" sound when you turn the a/c on/off or when you crank the vehicle and the a/c control is on. soft top leaks over both doors when it rains. service department has confirmed proper top installation. sharp edges on the roll bars. roll bar covers have ripped as a result of putting the top up or down. dangerous "wobble" when you hit a small pothole, change uneven lanes, etc. hood lifts approx. 2 inches when a large truck or trailer passes or meets the jeep. manual transmission "grinds or catches" when shifting into 2nd gear, worse when cold. *tr
