Started having a transmission slip in 2nd gear repair shop looked things over and said transmission fluid was a little low and I was leaking transmission fluid due ac condenser going bad. Had it replaced, no more leaking transmission fluid but transmission still acting up now. Was told it was most likely due to the leak and trans fluid getting low. After reading up I guess this is a common issue and should be recalled. Obviously these a/c condenser units are faulty. Now I have a transmission that could have been avoidable if Jeep would have let owners know about the ac condenser issue or made that a unit that has to get replaced after so many miles.

Fluid leaks from the transmission and ac condenser unit, driver side edge. Several small points leaks. Mechanic said it's a common transmission fluid leak problem due to poor manufacture and have to replace the combined unit at Jeep dear. Search the internet, see quite a few complain.

When driving on the interstate at normal speed, the vehicle jumped out of gear and into neutral while in the passing lane. With no power I almost had a car rear end me before I could put on my flashers and pull over. When I pulled over and restarted the vehicle, it acted normal for a while. Before arriving home the vehicle did the same thing again. I took the vehicle to a repair shop and was told that the transmission oil cooler had started leaking and the vehicle was low in transmission fluid. However, with this vehicle there is no way to check the transmission fluid level and there was not a lot of fluid leakage found where car is normally parked. This needs to be recalled before someone gets injured!.

Transmission cooler/condenser leak causes loss of tranmission fluid but you can't check the fluid level because there is a tamper proof cap on the transmission fluid level dip stick.

Transmission fluid leak coming from a/c condenser/transmission cooler. Significant leakage occurring leading to problematic transmission performance such as slippage and vehicle jerking on acceleration or deceleration. It appears this is a known issue with these models of Jeep Grand Cherokee and this type of component failure should not be considered normal wear and tear. This should be taken care of under a manufacturer recall of the problematic areas before serious issues arise.

Car began to sputter and rise in rpms and missing gear going into nuetral and causing dangerous situations in traffic runs at 2 rpms in ideal standpoint now car is leaking fluids and service 4wheel drive lights on I read that there are recalls for this issue in other keeps but not for my VIN number and this is a manufacturer problem.

Was driving up an entrance ramp to get on a busy highway and all of a sudden the car made a revving sound and a pop. Wasn't sure what happened so tried to go and car would not go over 15mph. We put the hazard lights on and move it off to the side. When we stepped out of the vehicle there was a weird smell and fluid was leaking out of the bottom. We had to drive 15mph to get home because it would not go out of first gear. Towed the car to the dealership to be checked out. Took the dealership four days to look at it and comes back and says it needs a new transmission we will pay $2 grand and you will need to pay $4 grand. I have only had this vehicle for two years and it is only 7,000 miles over warranty. They never contacted fiat/Chrysler so we had to call them. We currently have a case with them but they are trying everything to get out of owning up to having a transmission problem. It has been at the dealership for two weeks and we were never given a loaner car. If this would have happened after we were already on the freeway we could have been slammed into from behind. It could have been a major wreck with injuries. All fiat/Chrysler is worried about is our oil change records because we do it ourselves instead of paying them to do it. Oil changes have absolutely nothing to do with the transmission going out. There was no warning or anything.

There is a leak at the transmission cooler. Looking on line, this appears to be a common problem. I notices the problem when I tried to accelerate up a hill and the transmission would not shift to the proper gear, and the car slowed and I pulled off to the side of the road to not block traffic. This was dangerous and I was not happy. I turned the car off and on, and it seemed to work fine.

Transmission cooler, a/c condenser combo unit began leaking transmission fluid around 50,000 miles. There is no dip stick to know how much fluid is in the transmission so it is dangerous. The trans could be low on fluid and possibly fail while driving causing an accident. Upon searching the internet I found other 2011-2012 Jeep Grand Cherokees with the same leak, on the same part, at the same location on the part, around the same miles. Chrysler believes this is normal to have the part fail even though it is failing before the transmission or a/c even require servicing. I disagree because my other vehicle has 297,000 miles and has the same condenser from when the vehicle was purchased. I paid to have the part replaced and contacted Chrysler for reimbursement and to open an investigation. Chrysler said there is no recall and if a recall happens in the future they will notify us. We strongly believe this leak should be investigated as a manufacture defect and public safety issue.

Driving on an interstate freeway with adaptive cruise control activated. Cruise control deactivated on its own, mil illuminated and the transmission began slipping severely resulting in drastic loss of power and vehicle speed in interstate traffic. Rolled vehicle to shoulder and noticed transmission fluid coating the entire undercarriage of the vehicle as well as all over the ground under the vehicle. Dealer diagnosis was an improperly routed at the factory transmission cooler line that was in contact with the driveline causing the line to wear through and leak transmission fluid. While there wasn't a fire, one could easily have started when the transmission oil contacted hot exhaust system components near the transmission.

I have a transmission leake. Chrysler recall is e 13. I could not get a dealship to take the vehicle in on Friday. Called Chrysler, they were not really any help, the did provide me the name of a Dodge dealership in the area. They took the car Friday 11/18/05, said they fixed the recall. The leak is worse that before. Just like before I have transmission fluid spraying on the exhaust. This per Chrysler's recall letter is a fire hazard. Further the recall we recieved yesterday indicates that the transmission should have been flushed and/or the troque converter repalced. Neither of these things were done. I have the car back and can not get a return call from the dealeship to get the car back into the shop.

: the contact stated the check engine light illuminated and transmission fluid leaked from the vehicle. The vehicle was returned to the dealer numerous times, but the dealer was unable to accurately remedy the problem. There is a NHTSA recall, # 05v396000 concerning the automatic transmission however the recall did not correct the problem. Afterwards, the transmission would not shift properly. The vehicle is having the same problems as indicated in the recall again. Also, the dealer suggested the automatic control of the sunroof assembly which failed to work properly was related to the ongoing transmission problem as well, but no further repairs were made.

Transmission has to be replaced because of a popping and grinding noise when the vehicle is placed in reverse from park or neutral. Transmission was rebuilt after only 2019 miles and has been worked on two times since. Once for a factory recall and the other time for a transmission fluid leak.

I own a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee and since the purchase date I have had problems ranging from brakes to check engine lights, most recently the transmission is beginning to leak fluid. I have contacted Jeep and the local dealer about this issue and they are not willing to step forward on this issue. The vehicle has 30,k miles and is a 3rd vehicle for me to use, so it does not get a lot of usuage. At this point I would consider this a complaint issue as the vehicle is in immaculate condition, except for the leaking transmission. I would like to inquire as to the number of '99 Jeeps that are experiencing the same issue. I have been communicating with other Jeep owners that have the exact same issue. I have encouraged them to do the same as I am with my filed complaint. Also, Jeep has been extremely arrogant about their responses to "not assist" with this matter.
