This past Friday, I took my JLUS to the dealership to take care of a few warranty items:
1. Broken console latch (broke the 2nd day I owned the vehicle, but I kept fixing it myself)
2. Rear arm rest doesn't latch and won't stay in the up position
3. Brakes squealing
4. Water leaks under all 4 doors (whenever I take it through the car wash, I get a shower also)
Most importantly:
5. Very rough shifting when accelerating, mostly when starting from a stop, but it was starting to happen any time I accelerated. When I took delivery of the vehicle on Jan 4th, I noticed a whining sound when I accelerated, but I thought it was just a new engine. It kept getting worse and worse as time went on and got to the point where it had a really hard time shifting, especially when starting from a stop, and especially on a hill near my house. I would have the car floored and it would barely accelerate.
So, the dealership called me yesterday, and they said among other things that the transmission had been OVERfilled with 2/3 to 1 quart of fluid, which must've happened at the factory. WTF?!?! Apparently they were communicating with corporate, who told them to replace the entire transmission. I was really surprised. Should I be concerned or happy that I'm getting a new transmission?? I love my Wrangler, but I'm so disappointed with the quality of it.
