I have a 2009 6-speed manual ... it throws itself out of 1st gear every once and a while, sometimes violently ... reading other posts, this is rather common with this model. These posts also say getting the transmission replaced does not necessarily fix the problem, so I am wondering if it is worth my time...

Recommendations and opinions?

Thank you

Default Rubicon Sway Bar E-Disconnect

I've had my JK Rubicon for a little over a week now and love it so far.. but today we went off roading, the axles lock great but the sway bar did not want to disconnect, the first time we tried it the light blinked and it never disconnected, now when we hit the switch the light just blinks the once and disappears. So I guess we'll get it checked out and see what the problem is...

I have had no problems at all so far. I'm only a little annoyed by what I hear with the brake wear posts that the pads wear out so fast. I had pads on my 03 sierra for 130 before they needed to be replaced. Oh well I guess I'll have to wait and see.

2010 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited with about 3500 miles. Goes to the dealer this week for the warm weather steer/pedal clunk issue which has been written about many times on this forum. No problems otherwise.

Had the drivers seat frame replaced. I broke something inside the seat frame that lifts the seat. Must have over lifted it. Be careful not to over do it.

Window switches had to be replaced (twice), couldn't roll down my windows. Sometimes turning off the engine and restarting it allowed the windows to function (driver and passenger front).

Few recalls, but over all I have been very happy.
