- "...there's this pesky "auto park" feature that JLs have that will not allow the transmission out of park in certain circumstances (engine running, foot on brake), and will actively put it BACK in park if conditions change (open the door with the vehicle in gear, and it will go to Park)." -- Jeep Senior, Wranglerforum.com
- "So I started having this issue where every time I come to a complete stop (under 2 mph), the Jeep throws itself into autopark...However the car has been turned off and on and driven several times since then, and it continues to happen." -- Sarge4xe, 4xeforums.com

- Hi all. - So I started having this issue where every time I come to a complete stop (under 2 mph), the Jeep throws itself into autopark. It first did it when I had started the car with either my door open and/or my driver seatbelt not buckled. However the car has been turned off and on and...
- Wow! That is way too complicated. I guess my JK is my last Jeep -- also, I'll probably be long dead before it dies anyway. :devilish:
- FYI , Jeep had a recall on the E brake for certain model years, including the 95. I had a 95, got the e brake fixed. Received a notice in the mail of the recall and jeep reimbursed the cost since I already had it fixed. Just looked on the government recall website. Here is the recall info...
- If theres a wrangler in the parking lot and im able to park next to it i will. If not i park next to a smart car. Or some tree hugging looking vehicle. You get some odd looks when your jeep is covered in mud.
- Of course and yes. Haha. Get to check the Jeep out when I get back.
- Do you ever intentionally park next to other jeeps in a parking lot? Do you like it when other jeeps park next to you?
- I always take one ride around the parking lots to see if theres any other jeeps around. Its funny I notice a lot of jeep owners park way out in the distance so theres parking spaces around for other jeeps if they show up. (Jeep parking if you wish) Pulled into sonic the other day and found a...
- I honestly don't pay enough attention/flake out when off work to notice if I park next to other Jeeps. I think it is subconscious though because I always seem to notice one next to my heep when I get back.:D Call it After work shutdown or maybe I've burned way to many brain cells in the...
- So I'm wondering if I'm always going to cruise the lot looking for a wrangler before I park.

- First off my parking brake doesn't work. It hasn't for as long as I've owned the jeep. So I've always left the jeep in first gear or reverse when parking it. Never had a problem. Today I drove it in the snow and tried to get up my girlfriends driveway (I think I tried like 5 times). I slid...
- Hi! I’m new to all things Jeep.. My 2021 Sahara died the other night. Had to be towed to dealership and since it would not start, they couldn’t get it into neutral for flat bad, so had to be towed with front two wheels on the ground. Hurt to watch. It was towed less than 10 miles...would that...
- I have 2020 Wrangler Unlimited, sort of new to me. Maybe dumb Q here (and I have not looked in the manual) I wanted to reposition the car just a few feet in my level driveway. Thought it would be easy in Neutral but no joy. I had to start the car and close the door to make it move 2 feet in...
- I was alone when I parked and came back out to another Jeep on either side.
