1 Transmission Noise problem

Failure Date: 09/08/2016

At 1030 am 08 September 2016, my Jeep Wrangler caught fire and was determined a total loss. I dropped my Jeep off for a noise in the transmission on 06 September 2016, I then received a phone on the 8th that my Jeep had caught fire because the transmission had overheated. The dealership was in possession of my vehicle through this process and stated that I would need to file a claim through my insurance company.

2 Transmission Noise problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2010

2009 Jeep Wrangler 2 door 6-speed manual transmission - pops out of 1st gear randomly. Happens when starting from a stop - loud banging noise. Brought to dealership 2 times already and because they can't replicate the issue can't do anything about it. Major safety concern. Car has 14000 miles but jog started at approx 1,000 miles. Jeep needs to be accountable for this. Researching on internet shows numerous complaints on same problem with little help from Jeep or Chrysler. Are we Jeeps "Toyota" victims?.
