Sometimes, when in 4lo, shifting into drive, nothing happens, like it is in neutral. Shift in reverse and back and away we go. A friend has had the same experience with his 2013, but the dealer hasn't been able to duplicate.
Could be exciting on a trail with sharp switchbacks where you have to go back and forth a few time to get around.
I'll mention it to the dealer when I take it in for oil and filter and maybe the tranny recall.

Mine did the exact same thing on a trip recently, mine did it when I shifted out of 4lo into 4high it seemed like it was being held back by a tank..put in park wait a few and then back into drive it worked fine.

In responce to 4x4chick. I don't think you read my thread correctly. I have over the last couple of months read a lot on this site, and on several occasions people have poped off with the automatic is junk. So being a new 2013 2D owner with an automatic I wanted to know myself what are the so called problems related to the automatic? After reading the replies I'm not to worried now. I am very happy with my new Jeep, and I think it's great!
Thanks !
Thanks !
It's like saying.. "I've seen several people say the new Wranglers are junk, why is that?"
Well, WHO is saying that?

Other than that, I love the transmission so far.

My tranny doesn't like to shift into reverse when in 4lo. It works great in 2wd and seems ok in 4hi. Seems like other people are having a similar issue. I wonder what gives?

My 12 jku is at the dealer now with trans issues 25.5k on the odometer. I went wheeling this weekend and after leaving the trail the trans went into limp mode, no 4th or 5th gear. Set a code p1731, cleared the the code and the only thing I was able to do was to get it to be able to manually shifted from 1st to 3rd.
