2019 Jeep Wrangler Sport V6 3.6L Auto - Noticed something strange at the car wash today. I put the car in (N)eutral and when I took my foot off the brake I began rolling forward. Hit the brake to stop, release the brake and started to roll forward again. Only way to stop this rolling forward was to put the transfer case in Neutral.
So, I took it home and parked on a flat grade....sure enough when I sat in Neutral it rolled forward. But it's not really "in gear", because if I shift into drive, I can feel the transmission engage and then it rolls forward a little faster. So, I pulled into the driveway which has a good upward incline. I shift into N and it rolls back fast as you would expect. I shift to D and it operates normally.
What would cause the Jeep to creep forward in Neutral?? As I said, it's not in D because I can feel it engage as I shift into D. It's as if there's a "leakage" or something where the torque converter is able to drive the transmission very lightly even though I am in Neutral.
If you've seen this before, I'd love to hear what you know.
