Like what everyone else has- the terrible whining noise. Two reputable shops said it was my transmission, where one said it was the metal drive belt, but both recommended replacing the entire transmission, around $3,000 used or $4,000 new. The noise exists due to acceleration and speed, no warming up or heat related causes, so it must be something metal-to-metal = no good.
No one wants to cover or even touch my transmission (dealer or car lot), so I guess I have to drive it until it dies and I get stuck in the middle of I75 one morning. On the Jeep forums, some people had their issue fixed my fluid swap, but I believe this whine is a different whine that isn't cured the same way. I thought Jeep meant rugged reliability, not this.
