Jerking/Hesitation problems
Top problems
Jerking in transmission in reverse on level ground.
Jeep Wrangler 2021 Jeep wrangler 108000 miles
I just bought a used 2021 jeep Wrangler. I've never owned a jeep before. After it sits overnight or after work when I shift it in reverse it jerks so hard I feel it under my feet. It's on level ground. I let it idol down before I put it in reverse. It just does it the first time after sitting. The other gears are fine. It only does this after sitting awhile. I took it back to the dealer but it wouldn't do it. I told them it only does it after it sits awhile. Can someone please help me? It didn't come with a hand book either. Should I change transmission filter and fluid? Is it the transmission going bad?

Low transmission fluid causes jerking or rough gear changes.

I agree. Low fluid. Check the fluid level and add if necessary.

I just had the transmission fluid changed. It's a enclosed transmission. They had to suck the fluid out and refill it. I took it back to the dealer they SAID IT WAS NORMAL. Really. It's a automatic transmission when it drops into third gear it also jerks. I live in a very small mountain town in N.C. no one else works or looks at jeeps.
