I have a 2006 jeep laredo 3.6l with 54,000 miles on it. Since may of 2012 it has been nothing but a huge problem. I have contacted jeep customer care and had a casenumber with them to get the issues resolved, needless to say they fixed half of the issues and then closed the case when the dealership that was working on it was unable to diagnose the other issues. The jeep will lunge, jerk, and get stuck in 2nd gear at 1.5rphs until you press the gas really hard and it slips gears.
