I picked up my 2 door Rubicon yesterday and while I haven't done many miles in it yet, I have noticed something and wondered if it was an issue or a "Jeep thing", or both...
Anyway with ESS disabled, when I bring the car to a complete stop at a junction or lights for example, it feels rough for the last few meters before the complete halt. I initially thought it was brake related, maybe with the car sitting for a while before I bought it but I'm not so sure. There's no noise or anything but it almost feels as though the car is hanging onto high gears longer than it should and indeed I have noticed that, depending on what speed I start slowing down from, but it can seem to not drop down gears and stay in 3/4/5 for example.
So I guess, this is the feeling one might experience if they were driving a manual (or stick shift as my US friends like to say) and maybe don't downshift or dip the clutch a little late when coming to a halt. The feeling you may get or roughness, jerking before the car would stall. Or similarly, again in a manual, if one were in too high a gear for the current low speed.
Anyway, this is all in 2H and I would appreciate any thoughts on the matter.
Thanks in advance...
