TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE EXCESSIVELY AND LOSE POWER ABNORMALLY WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF EVERY WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST CONCLUDING THAT THE PCM HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ON A LATER DATE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE 15 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED AN UNUSUAL BURNING OR SMOKE ODOR AS THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PCM FAILED A SECOND TIME AND BLOWN A FUSE. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE CONTACT HAD ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR TWO DAYS HE WANTED A REPLACEMENT BUT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED AND THAT I "NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL IN MY SHIFTING". I HAVE HAD MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS IN ALL MY CARS SINCE I WAS 16. I KNOW HOW TO DRIVE THEM, I HAVE ALSO HAD TWO PREVIOUS JEEP WRANGLERS AND BOTH WERE MANUALS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO "POPPING" ISSUES. I HAVE TAKEN THIS ISSUE UP WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND TIME AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING AGAIN. TOMORROW IT IS GOING IN FOR THE THIRD TIME FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS "POPPING" OCCURS ON AVERAGE OF ABOUT 4/5 TIMES A WEEK. I HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IN INTERSECTIONS, ON RAMPS, UP HILLS, (VERY SCARY IF SOMEONE IS BEHIND YOU) AND NUMEROUS OTHER SITUATIONS WHERE SAFETY HAS BEEN JEOPARDIZED AND A SERIOUS ACCIDENT NARROWLY AVOIDED. MY WIFE ALSO DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND HAD TO SEE A DOCTOR FOR A HYPER EXTENDED FINGER WHEN THE SHIFTER KICKED BACK AND CAUGHT HER UN AWARE. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED, RECALLED, SOMETHING. *TR

AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY CHRYSLER JEEP WRANGLER JK MODELS HAVE NOTED THIS PROBLEM. MANY HAVE REPORTED THAT TRANSMISSION CAN START FIRE. PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED WITH EXTERNAL TRANSMISSION COOLER BUT MAY VOID WARRANTY. I HAVE JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ONLY TWO MONTHS AGO AND SINCE FOUND ALL THIS OUT.

THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINES LIGHTS ON AND ALL THE GAUGES WERE FINE. WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND NOTICED THE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE JEEP AND UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY THOUGHT IT WAS CAUSED BY A OVER HEATED TRANSMISSION AND MAYBE BACK THE FLUID UP TO THE EXHAUST WHICH IGNITED IT. THEY WERE NOT COMPLETELY SURE BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS MELTED SO BADLY. *TR

LET ME BEGIN BY SAYING THAT MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE DRIVEN MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS FOR YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES ARISE SUCH AS THESE. WE HAVE A 6 MONTH OLD, 2010, JEEP WRANGLER, 2-DOOR, MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CLUTCH BEGAN POPPING OUT OF FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. LAST MONDAY, SEPT. 20TH, WE HAD A CHRYSLER DEALER LOOK AT THE ISSUE AND THE TECHNICIAN TOOK APART THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACED A SNYCHRONIZER. ONCE WE TOOK THE VEHICLE HOME, WE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO HAVE FURTHER PROBLEMS. NOW, THE VEHICLE OFTEN STICKS IN GEAR AND WE OFTEN CAN'T GET IT INTO THE NEXT HIGHEST GEAR OR DOWNSHIFT. FOR EXAMPLE, I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT (WITH MY 6 YEAR OLD SON AS A PASSENGER AS WELL), AND I GOTTHE VEHICLE SHIFTED (HAD TO JAM IT) INTO FIRST, BUT COULDN'T GET IT INTO 2ND. WE WERE STUCK IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND I WAS DESPERATELY TRYING TO GET IT INTO A GEAR TO GO. I ENDED UP GETTING IT INTO THIRD AND PUTTED SLOWLY IN MY LANE. ALSO, I WAS ON MY WAY TO A MEETING, WITH A CO-WORKER, AND I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO 5TH AND IT WOULDN'T GO INTO 5TH GEAR, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN IN A HIGHER MILEAGE AREA TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO KEEP IT IN 4TH. THOSE ARE TWO OF SEVERAL EXAMPLES OF INCIDENCES THAT TOOK PLACE OVER A PERIOD OF 5 DAYS. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. AT THIS POINT, THERE HAS BEEN NO DECISION ON WHAT REPAIR WILL TAKE PLACE. THE TECHNICIAN IS ATTENDING A TRANSMISSION TRAINING TODAY AND STATED HE WOULD CONSULT OTHERS THERE. HOWEVER, A SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THIS IS THE THIRD JEEP WRANGLER THAT THEY HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITHIN TWO WEEKS AND THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS. I HAVE GROWN VERY FRUSTRATED AND CONCERNED WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT IS MY PRIMARY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION WITH MY CHILD AND BEING STUCK IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS NOT AN IDEAL SITUATION. HAVE FOUND WEBSITES DEVOTED TO THESE ISSUES/COMPLAINTS. *TR

PROBLEM REPORTED TO TATE JEEP IN FREDERICK, MD IN MARCH. DEALERSHIP REMOVED INNER AND OUTER SHIFTER BOOTS AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE BOOTS INSTALLED TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM RECURS. DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED 1 WEEK LATER THAT THE PROBLEM REMAINED; THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. AFTER THREE WEEKS, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE AS TO THEIR PLAN; THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD FORGOTTEN TO ORDER THE PARTS. FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE JEEP WITHOUT THE INNER AND OUTER SHIFTER BOOTS AND OF COURSE THE PROBLEM REMAINS. THERE HAS BEEN NO ATTEMPT FROM THE DEALER TO CONTACT ME.
