The 2005 Jeep Wrangler sport was a total loss after it caught on fire and severely damaged the engine and the inside of the vehicle. It just had the transmission replaced the day before the incident. The vehicle continued to demonstrate transmission issues despite the new transmission (including difficulty shifting and a loss of power while going uphill). While driving uphill, the vehicle's transmission slipped and smoke started pouring out of the engine. The driver immediately put it in park and turned off the engine. The driver ran from the vehicle and saw that there was a fire underneath the car - near the transmission pan. The entire vehicle went up in flames within 2 minutes. Unfortunately, it was a total loss by the time the fire department arrived to put out the fire. An investigation will be completed to determine if a transmission fluid leak caused the fire. The Jeep Wrangler was a right hand drive that was being used on the mail route the day that the fire occurred.

I received an e-mail from Jeep around December stating recall n28 would affect my Jeep because the power steering line will rub the transmission oil cooler tube causing the vehicle to leak transmission fluid. I noticed on December 18th that my Jeep was in fact leaking transmission fluid so I called the closest Jeep dealership to me, gwinnett Jeep in stone mountain georgia, and took my vehicle there on December 19th. After further inspection, the dealership stated the entire transmission oil cooler unit was leaking, which I told them was odd since this Jeep is only two years old with less than 50,000 miles. The dealership later called me back and told me a different story stating a transmission oil cooler tube was leaking and that unfortunately it was a different transmission oil cooler tube than was listed in recall n28. I didn't believe their story since they initially told me the transmission oil cooler unit was faulty. The bill was 503 dollars. I am e-mailing you because my vehicle was only leaking transmission fluid because of recall n28 and the dealership took advantage of me. This is a classic "double dip" where the dealership collects money from from corporate for the recall and then collects money from the customer. This dealership should be under investigation and audited because I am more than certain that people have previously brought in vehicles to gwinnett Jeep for recall issues and then they charged innocent customers additional money for "issues" with different components of the vehicle. I checked their reviews and there was a similar incident with a Jeep pertaining to a different recall. I don't want this to happen to anyone else in the future. I am a full time student and I also work full time, so my time and money mean a lot to me. A routine recall that should have been free of charge ended up costing me over 500 dollars.

The transmission oil cooler tube has ruptured. The transmission oil cooler tube on this vehicle has had a recall on it for some time now. I have contacted the dealership several times to get my name placed on the waiting list; however, they are now telling me my name is not on the list. The vehicle is currently unable to be driven due to the transmission fluid leaking out. I have contacted the dealership to try to resolve this situation, but no one seems to want to help. Everyone has resorted to very un-professional behavior in light of the incident at the dealership. I have been very patient with the group, but am becoming very un-patient in the situation. They continue to tell me it could be six to eight weeks before the part is available. I would be more understanding if I knew my name was not previously placed on the list, but I know that I have made several attempts at doing so. This vehicle is also my primary vehicle. I am in desperate need of having this unsafe situation resolved.

I found leaking transmission cooler lines on my Jeep Wrangler. I contacted Chrysler/Jeep by phone to inquire about a customer satisfaction notification l05 transmisson oil cooler lines issue pertaining to TSB: 2008-2010 jk Wrangler: transmission oil cooler lines may weep transmission fluid. TSB: 2008-2010 jk Wrangler: transmission oil cooler lines may weep transmission fluid subject: extended warranty -transmission oil cooler lines may weep transmission fluid at the hose to tube crimp joints (7 years or 70,000 miles warranty extension) overview: this bulletin involves installing new transmission oil cooler supply & return line assembly. Models: 2008 -2010 (jk) Wrangler note: this extended warranty bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with 3. 8l engine (sales code egt) and an automatic transmission (sales code dgv) built before March 10, 2010 (mdh0410xx). Symptom/condition: weeping transmission oil cooler lines at the hose-to-tube crimp joints. Diagnosis: if the symptom/condition is experienced proceed to the repair procedure. I was told my vehicle would not be covered by this and I would have to pay for the repairs. If these lines were to burst or open up enough to spray fluid it would ignite off the exhaust manifolds and burn the vehicle to the ground. This has happened to several Jeep owners I have found in my research and one owner had their vehicle burn even after the lines were improperly replaced by a dealership even. My Jeep meets all the criteria in the customer satisfaction notification l05 yet I was told it wasn't covered.

Chrysler had a safety recall (n28 / NHTSA 13v-234) trans oil cooler tube may come in contact with the power steering fluid return lube. Prolonged contact could cause a leak in the tran fluid and loss of trans function and increase risk of a crash. I have called my local dealership suresky in goshen, NY and the parts are still not in and it has been over 2 months. I drive my two year old to school every day and this is not acceptable.
Safety re-call notice: the transmission oil cooler tube on the vehicle may inadvertently come in contact with the power steering fluid return tube. This tube to tube contact could eventually cause the transmission oil cooler tube to develop a wear hole and leak. A loss of transmission fluid could cause transmission damage and if the leaking fluid comes in contact with an ignition source, cause an underbody fire. The service shop has scheduled my appointment all the way until January 2, 2014. This is my only mode of transportation and I fear for an accident to occur if I wait too long.
I received a recall notification in September, 2013 warning that the transmission oil cooler tube may come into contact with the power steering fluid return tube, causing a leak and possibly a failure or crash. The vehicle has been to the autonation dealership on 116th Ave. In bellevue, wa a total of three times since September 2013 to address this issue. It is now almost March 2014 and it still has not been fixed. They are placing all the blame on Chrysler for not being able to supply the parts. I called Chrysler this morning to confirm the insane waiting time for the parts to remedy the recall. The idea that it takes in excess of 5 months just to get parts for a serious recall issue is preposterous, and the lack of action negligible.

The contact owns 2013 Jeep Wrangler sport. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 13v234000 (power train , steering) and stated that the recall repair had surpassed a reasonable time for repair. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was advised that the part needed for the repair was not available.

The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.
While traveling on a slight grade at approx 60 mph vehicle downshifted then noted plume of white smoke exiting from rear I vehicle. Upon pulling over a small engine compartment fire was noted an easily extinguished. Upon further inspection ride side of engine compartment was notes to be covered in transmission fluid. This was right side only further inspection revealed transmission fluid coming from right sided transmission breather tube just behind dipstick on right side. Cause on fluid discharge appears to be an over heating or pressurization of transmission case as there are no other ports of exit. Trams case is intact and areas around transmission are dry free of debris or evidence of leakage. Fluid level prior to event was correct and no possibility of over filling as fluid level was inspected on regular basis. Contact dealer and was advised there is no possible way transmission fluids are capable of causing fire. Dealer stated also no possible way fluid could be coming from breather tube. They did offer a quote for repair of $3800 to $4000 to repair problem. This all was done without offering to even inspect the vehicle.

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.

While traveling on the highway without prior warning the vehicle shut down. The gauges malfunctioned (gas read empty), the vehicle jerked uncontrollably. Different mechanics were unable to duplicate the problem. The transmission leaked (there was pink fluid in the battery area), the belt pulley had fallen off and the vehicle overheated, and the battery failed.
