Four problems related to automatic transmission have been reported for the 2009 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have a 2009 Jeep unlimited Wrangler x 4 door. The Jeep is only 2 years old on 1/20/2011 at 39313 transmission oil cooler pipes had to be replaced. Wondering if there are other Jeeps with this problem. I had to pay out of pocket because the 5 year warranty I bought from Acura dealer would not cover the issue. I bought the car used in September of 2009 from the Acura dealer with 13,000 miles on it. This issue should have been covered. It if I did not fix the problem, I would have to replace the transmission.
The contact owns a 2009 Jeep Wrangler. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where a manufacturer voluntary safety recall repair was performed on the vehicle, associated with the notification code of j31. The contact was in disagreement with the recall remedy related to the transmission. He was also in the process of notifying the manufacturer concerning the insufficient recall remedy. There were no failures at this time. The VIN was unavailable.
Transmission oil overheating. . . . While making long ascents (climbs) up hill in 4 wheel drive, the transmission fluid has overheated twice in my 2009 Jeep Wrangler under non-rigorous conditions (dirt road). This occurred twice over the past 4 weeks, where I immediately shut down the vehicle and let it cool off each time. I noticed the transmission was having problems because I received a "hot oil" warning on the instrument panel. I have traveled these roads in other 4x4 vehicles in the past without any problems. Each time this occurs, it is important to turn off the vehicle and let it cool off, otherwise the vehicle could catch fire due to the hot tranny oil boiling out and coming in contact with the exhaust system. I took it the to the dealer (moore Jeep in peoria, az) twice and was told there was no known correction for this and since nothing was technically broken, nothing could be done. They offered to put in a tranny cooler at my expense, however, this would void my lifetime transmission warranty. I contacted Chrysler directly and filed a formal complaint. I asked that they support adding a transmission cooler or replace the tranny to the Jeep, and they denied the request because they can only replace items that are broken. Since the tranny has not completely broken down, they don't see a problem that needs fixed. They applied recall j31, which make a chime when the tranny oil overheats - telling me to turn off the vehicle and let cool. No repairs were made. I have a 9 month old grandchild who travels with me in a child seat and I am concerned that if the vehicle starts on fire, I may not be able to unbuckle him out of the carseat in the back fast enough.
