Mine has been shuddering since I bought it at 7,000 miles. I didn't notice it until I had had it for a few months. It seesm to shudder in the transmission or torque converter at 27-30 miles per hour. Some days worse than others. I had it back to the dealer last month and they could not duplicate the problem. Next time I go in for service I will have them try again, since then I have been able to get it to do it whenever I want.

Does yours lock up and vibrate around 1500 RPMs as well?

I have over 28,000 miles on my 2007 JK Rubi and not issues with the auto trans. No issues at all, the Jeep is performing perfectly. I take it in every 3,000religiously though.

Mine has a slight vibration at 1500 RPMs. I find myself throttling up to get it to drop gears. However, mine seems to drop gears easily, not sticking in a high gear like others on here.
