I OWN A 2000 JEEP WRANGLER WHICH I BOUGHT NEW. RECENTLY I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING INTO SECOND GEAR AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD POP OUT WHILE DRIVING. SOON AFTER I BEGAN TO HAVE BRAKE ISSUES AND HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT. HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN A JEEP RUSTED OUT SO BAD WITH SO FEW MILES ON IT AND SAID IT WAS A HAZARD TO DRIVE. HE SAID THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED THROUGH AS WELL AS THE SUPPORT FOR THE TRANSMISSION . HE SAID THE FRAME WAS IN TERRIBLE SHAPE AND SAID I WAS LUCKY THE THING DIDN'T FALL APART WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 85,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
Power train, May 2, 2005
THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. WHEN DRIVING ONE OR TWO MILES THERE WAS NO POWER. THE FIRST START, WHEN IT IS PUT IN REVERSE, THERE IS A BIG SOUND. THIS HAPPENS EARLY IN THE MORNING OR WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. ONLY HAS 29,000 MILES ON THE CAR.

THIS IS MY 5TH JEEP, 1ST GRAND CHEROKEE. I RESEARCHED THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 MONTHS BEFORE BUYING. AFTER PURCHASING I NOTICED THE WHINE COMING FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. I TOOK IT TO AN OIL AND LUBE STORE WHERE THEY EXPLAINED I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE THE SELECT TRAC 4X4 SYSTEM AS THE DIFFERENTIAL OIL IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE FOR THE QUADRA DRIVE SYSTEM. AFTER REPLACING THE LUBE IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL THE WHINE WENT AWAY. *NM

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE MAKING A NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AND THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THE TRANSFER CASE-O-RING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB THE O-RING WAS SPLIT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WITHIN A WEEK THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MAKE A NOISE AGAIN BUT IT WAS WORSE. THE O-RING WENT OUT AND WAS LOSING FLUID IN THE TRANSFER CASE WHICH CAUSED THE NEED TO BE REBUILT DUE TO ALL THE DAMAGE FROM THE FAULTY PARTS. *SC *JB

I PURCHASE THIS 2000 JEEP WRANGLER FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND PAID THE COVERAGE WARRANTY DURING THE TIME OF PURCHASE. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED THERE WAS A WEILDING UNDERNEATH THE AXLE AND TOLD THE SALESMAN ABOUT IT AND HE SAID NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT, IT WON'T CAUSE ANY DAMAGE. FOUR MONTHS LATER THE AXLE BROKE ON A FREEWAY FOR NO REASON. WE TOLD THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY DIDN'T EVEN HELP US WITH THE PROBLEM AND QUOTING US 1,000 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED FROM A JEEP WRANGLER DEARLERSHIP. THIS PROBLEM WAS ALREADY THERE WHEN WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT BEFORE SELLING IT TO US. THE WARRENTY WE PURCHASED DID NOT COVER THE DAMAGE BECAUSE IT WASN'T UNDER WARRENTY. SO,THEY CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND NEED TO TOW IT TO A PROFESSIONAL BODY LIFTING SHOP. WE TOWED IT THERE AND IT COST US 500.00 TO FIX THE DAMAGE THAT WAS ALREADY THERE IN THE BEGINNING WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.

JEEP WRANGLER NV3550 MANUAL FIVE SPEED TRANSMISSION NOISE. AT 20,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION MADE IRREGULAR NOISES THAT CHRYSLER CLAIMS ARE NORMAL. NOW, JUST AS THE WARRANTY IS RUNNING OUT THEY CLAIM THESE SAME NOISES ARE A FAILING TRANSMISSION THAT NEEDS REPAIR AT THE COST OF $2000. *JB

2000 WRANGLER SPORT, 4.0 LITER, 5-SPEED TRANSMISSION - LOUD TRANSMISSION NOISES AT IDLE WITH CLUTCH OUT. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER (EARNHARDT'S JEEP IN TEMPE) TWICE WHEN VEHICLE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER REPLACED CLUTCH ONCE, WHICH RESOLVED PROBLEM WITH GEAR STICKING BUT NOT NOISE PROBLEM. DEALER SAID NOISE PROBLEM COMMON TO THAT YEAR AND NO FIX AS YET, BUT SAID I WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR FIX WHEN FACTORY DEVELOPED ONE. WENT TO TATE'S IN HOLBROOK YESTERDAY. THEY SHOWED ME ON COMPUTER THAT THERE IS NOW A FACTORY IDENTIFIED FIX INVOLVING REPLACING A SHAFT AND BUSHING OR BEARING IN THE TRANSFER CASE, BUT SAID THEY WON'T FIX MINE SINCE OUT OF WARRANTY. WROTE A LETTER TO EARNHARDT'S BUT HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING YET. FIX IS 21-001-01 DATED FEBRUARY, 2001. *LA

EACH TIME THE CAR WAS PUT INTO REVERSE WHEN BACKING OUT OF GARAGE OR PARKING LOT, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD ABRUPTLY JUMP INTO REVERSE GEAR WITH A VERY LOUD AND ABRUPT MOTION. IF YOU DID NOT HAVE YOUR FOOT ON BRAKE WHEN YOU PUT IT IN GEAR, CAR WOULD LEAP BACKWARDS. DEALER FOUND A LEAKING VALVE BASE GASKET IN THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH HE REPLACED. CAR HAS BEEN FINE SINCE, WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. *NLM

2000 JEEP WRANGLER,,,, 17,215 MILES.....COMPLETE AUTO TRANSMISSON BREAKDOWN...NEEDED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION
Power train, Aug 29, 2002
I GET A ROARING SOUND FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHEN THE CLUTCH IS NOT DEPRESSED, AND IN NEUTRAL, BUT GOES AWAY WHEN THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED. IF YOU TURN THE IGNITION OFF WITH THE CLUTCH NOT DEPRESSED THE ENGINE RATTLES AND SHAKES. IT'S ALSO HARD TO CHANGE GEARS AFTER THE JEEP HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 20 TO 30 MINUTES, AND IT HAS POPPED OUT OF GEAR SEVERAL TIMES. THE FIRST TIME IT POPPED OUT OF GEAR I WAS MERGING IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY, AND CAUSED A TRUCK BEHIND ME TO RUN OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID HITTING ME. NOBODY WAS HURT, BUT THEY VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO COKER JEEP AND CHRYSLER IN TEXARKANA, TEXAS, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY THING WRONG, SO I MADE THEM DRIVE ME AROUND, AND THEY SAW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THEY WERE GOING TO ORDER, AND CHANGE THE THROW OUT BEARING, BUT I DROVE ANOTHER 2000 JEEP ON THERE LOT AND IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING, SO THEY JUST WROTE IT OFF AS NORMAL, AND HAVE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I KNOW I AM ONLY 1 PERSON, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT WOULD BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF CHRYSLER TO ADRESS THIS PROBLEM INSTEAD OF IGNORING IT. EVENTUALLY SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DIE AS A RESULT, AND CHRYSLER WILL BE IN THE SAME POSITION AS FORD FOUND THESELVES IN, BUT CHRYSLER WON'T HAVE A TIRE COMPANY TO BLAME IT ON. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOFBOARD TAKING ON WATER. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S RAINING OR NOT, AFTER AN HOUR OR SO OF DRIVING WITH THE A/C RUNNING THE FLOOR GETS SOAKING WET. THE FLOORBOARD AROUND THE DRAIN HOLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF RUST. I HAVE READ THE COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEBSITE, AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE ARE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS THAT CHRYSLER WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. MY JEEP IS 3 YEARS OLD THIS MONTH, AND SUBSEQUENT MY FACTORY WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT. I WOULD LIKE SOME ANSWERS.*AK

TRANSMISSION IS AND WAS STILL VERY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT FROM SECOND (2ND) GEAR AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES. IT TAKES QUITE A LOT OF FORCE AND THEREFORE CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME. IT ALSO (THE NEW TRANSMISSION AND THE OLD TRANSMISSION) MAKES NOISE (RATHER LOUD) WHEN THE CLUTCH IS NOT PRESSED IN. *AK
Power train, Latches/locks/linkages, Jun 5, 2002
THERE IS A RATTLING SOUND FROM TRANSMISSION AT ALL TIMES. DEALER REPLACED TRANSFER CASE AT 7543 MILES. AN OIL SEAL WAS LEAKING AND REPLACED AS WELL. NEITHER REMEDIED THE PROBLEM.*AK DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT JEEPS WERE NOISY AND THAT THE NOISE WAS NORMAL. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO ANOTHER JEEP DEALER AT 9580 MILES WHERE THEY PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION AND REPAIRED THE DRIVERS DOOR AND TAIL GATE FOR NOT CLOSING PROPERLY. *JG

I BOUGHT THE JEEP NEW AND HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE. SHIFTING IS VERY TIGHT WITH A GRINDING NOISE. THERE IS A RATTLING NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL.

I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP PRODUCT
