Three problems related to power train driveline have been reported for the 2009 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Shifter cable on transfer case broke, during normal use. I was shifting the transfer case into neutral and the shifter just went limp and flopped around. I had to have it towed to the dealer.
2009 Jeep Wrangler unlimited rubicon leaks axle oil from right front axle seal onto tire. Seal was first replaced in June 2010, then in August, and is scheduled again for oct 2010 replacement. Vehicle currently has 24k miles. Jeep dealer replaced seals first two times and is scheduled again for replacement by dealer in October. Leaking seal is a hazard as axle oil is leaking onto tire and could cause loss of control. Vehicle is not modified in any way that would account for the leak.
Transfer case shifter linkage broke when shifting from 4 wheel drive to 2 wheel drive. The vehicle was stuck in neutral in the road and could not be moved. Leaving my wife stranding in the middle of a busy state highway.
