Two problems related to transmission fluid leaking have been reported for the 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Transmission lines are leaking where the rubber hose connects to the two steel lines. Transmission fluid could come in contact with a hot source and cause a vehicle fire. All of this at only 50k miles. Jeep has a recall for 08 thru 10 Jeeps for the same issue that is happening with 07 Jeeps.
The issue is leaking transmission lines in 2007 - 2012 Jeep Wranglers equipped with automatic transmissions. The transmission lines that lead from the transmission to the radiator are leaking where the lines change from metal to rubber. According to many people on a www. Jkforum. Com and other Jeep forums on the web, this is a wide spread issue. If someone is not aware of the leak, it could result with all the transmission fluid to leak out and the transmission to over heat. If this happens, the transmission would fail and cost the consumer $1,000's to have repaired. Also, if the transmission fluid leak is serious, the transmission fluid could spray onto the exhaust or engine block and catch fire. Leaking transmission lines are happening to too many Jeep Wranglers and it is not fair for all these consumers to pay for these damages. The cost to replace the faulty transmission lines could range between $200 and $300 depending on where you live. And once again. . . It is not fair for the consumer to even pay this amount to repair something that is happening to so many Jeep Wranglers from the manufacture years of 2007 - 2012. When I call my dealership to price the transmission lines, they have to order the part because they are sold out. I have also heard that the replacement lines have a new part number (which makes me think they have been redesigned) and are on back order.
