Tranny Blew after only 51,000 miles
My 2011 JK Rubicon's transmission croaked yesterday.
I was just backing out of the garage and there was a loud clunk followed by grinding noises. I was able to get it into reverse but only for about 1/2 block and that was that.
Had it towed to the stealer and the next day they told me that the pan was full of grindings and it was toast.
The warranty is 60,000 miles of which I am way under but the 5 years ended in October of 2016. I hadn't even reached the tranny fluid change mileage.
Is this a common issue with these Jeeps and has anyone else had it happen this early?
What are the odds they will fix it under warranty?
