I have the 2001 GCL, and feel same transmission slippage when turning corners. When I complete the turn, the vehicle kicks in gear, so I guess it's not much of a problem.
When I bought the Jeep, it had only 39k miles and appeared to be in great condition. I took it to another dealer two weeks ago to find the steering shaft had to be replaced as well as the rotors, etc.
Overall, I think this Jeep is a good ride minus the lack of space for this over 6ft driver. God willing for the 2012!

Just bought a 143K mile 2001 JGC with 4.0. When leaving stop lights, it wants to take off in 2nd gear unless manually pulled back into 1st to take off... Not sure what the problem is, but suspect maybe some sort of speed governor issue???
