Description of the problem | Vehicle exhibited what felt like a hard downshift from second to first gear. Jolt was concerning enough that driver had to apply additional brake pressure when coming to a full stop. Technician at repair facility discovered that jolt felt by operator was actually engine moving significantly due to defective hydraulic engine isolators (engine mounts mopar p/n 68252522aa). Mounts were replaced and problem no longer detected. Internet research reveals that this is a known issue with the wk2 model of the jeep and typically occurs approximately four (4) years after date of manufacture. Operator's concern is that inadequately or unsecured engine shift could cause collision or loss of vehicle control. Manufacturer apparently does not feel this defective/unreliable component design is a safety issue. |
