TRANSMISSION OIL IS OVERHEATING WHILE CLIMBING STEEP GRADES AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND ALSO WHEN DRIVING OFF ROAD AND UP HILLS AT SLOW SPEED. HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY CREATING HAZARD. 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. CHRYSLER HAS APPARENTLY ADDED A "HOT OIL" LIGHT AS RESOLUTION BUT THIS SEEMS INEFFECTIVE AND DOES NOT ACTUALLY CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SEEKING GUIDANCE AND RESOLUTION. *TR

A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON CAUGHT ON FIRE ONLY 10,000 MILES. WE WERE RIDING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THE RPM'S WENT TO ZERO. 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

E S P A DEADLY IDEA THAT IS BEING FORCED UPON US. MAY OF 2010 I PURCHASED A JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. FIRST WEEKEND OF SEPTEMBER I HAD E S P FAILURE. TOOK IT TO JEEP THE FOLLOWING WED. THEY ATTEMPTED TO RETURN IT TO ME UNABLE TO DUPLICATE, NO PARTS REPLACED. THE PROBLEM DID NOT "GO AWAY ". E S P FAILURES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2007. A SAFETY DEVICE TO SAVE YOU IN A CRASH SHOULD NOT CAUSE THE CRASH. ONLY ABOUT 12,300 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. FACTORY STOCK. NO MODS. JEEP BUYING BACK THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PROTECT ME OR MY LOVED ONES. THE OTHERS WILL STILL BE OUT THERE ON THE ROAD. FORCED LEGISLATION OF THIS WILL ACTUALLY CREATE OTHER PROBLEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FAILURES. VARIOUS "HACK JOBS" WILL BE PERFORMED IN ORDER TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BUT WILL ACTUALLY CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS. I ALREADY HAVE TO DODGE WEAVING DRIVERS FOR OTHER REASONS. DRUNKS ARE AT LEAST ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE. HAS NO ONE ANY COMMON SENSE ANYMORE? IF I WANTED TO BE DRIVEN I WOULD HIRE A CHAUFFEUR. REMEMBER THE AUTO SEAT BELTS THAT THREW PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR CARS AND CAUSED THEM TO BE KILLED OR PARALYZED. ( I PERSONALLY KNOW SOMEONE THAT THIS HAPPENED TO). HOW ABOUT THE AIR BAGS DECAPITATING CHILDREN? THAT REALLY SAVED LIVES THERE. LET US NOT FORGET THE RECENT PRIUS FAILURES. *TR

AFTER DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR APPROX. 40 MILES I ATTEMPTED TO EXIT. I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO START SLOWING DOWN AND PROCEED TO GET INTO THE EXIT LANE. ONCE IN THE EXIT LANE I TRIED TO APPLY MORE BRAKE PRESSURE TO SLOW DOWN FASTER, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL SLOWLY TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I MANAGED TO GET BACK ON TO THE FREEWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT AND ONTO A BREAKDOWN LANE TO SLOW DOWN. I APPLIED MY BRAKES AGAIN, AND AFTER APPLYING A MODERATE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUED TO TRAVEL TO THE FLOOR. USING ONLY MODERATE BRAKE PRESSURE I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN MY VEHICLE AND STOP. ANY MORE THAN MODERATE PRESSURE WOULD CAUSE THE PEDAL TO GO TO THE FLOOR. I CHECKED MY BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, AND IT WAS STILL AT THE MAX LEVEL, SO I PROCEEDED TO PUMP MY BREAKS TO TRY AND LOCATE A LEAK. THERE WERE NO LEAKS AND THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL DID NOT GO DOWN. I SLOWLY CONTINUED HOME KNOWING THAT I HAD LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY. AT HOME I INSPECTED MY VEHICLE AGAIN, AND THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID LOSS. I OPENED THE BRAKE FLUID CONTAINER AND INSPECTED THE FLUID LEVEL, THE FLUID LEVEL WAS AT THE MAX MARK, BUT I NOTICED SMALL BLACK PARTICLES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CONTAINER. I CALLED THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND DESCRIBED THE INCIDENT. THEY PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AND REPLACED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. *TR

2010 JEEP WRANGLER 2DR, MANUAL TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION JUMPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION WILL JUMP OUT OF 1ST GEAR (JOG) INTO NEUTRAL WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM A DEAD STOP. THIS EVENT OCCURS EVERY SO OFTEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER. THE VEHICLE HAS 630 MILES ON IT AND THIS JUMPING OUT OF GEAR HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN A DOZEN OCCASIONS ALREADY. IT HAS ALREADY PUT ME IN AN UNSETTLING SITUATION, OCCURRING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IF IT WASN'T FOR QUICK REACTIONS AND A WIDE BERTH, AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNAVOIDABLE. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME WHERE A PERSON WHOSE VEHICLE IS SUFFERING FROM DEFECT IS INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE BUT THE PROPOSED FIX (INNER BOOT REPLACEMENT AND/OR MODIFICATION) HAS FAILED AS THE VEHICLE STILL JUMPS OUT OF GEAR. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAS ONLY ISSUED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HOW TO POTENTIALLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE WHICH DO NOT ALWAYS WORK (SEE PREVIOUS SENTENCE). *TR
