POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FIRST OFF, MY AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THEN THE GAUGES WOULD SHUT DOWN. I TOOK THE JEEP IN ONCE, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE ANY PROBLEMS AND COULDN'T FIX IT IF THEY DIDN'T SEE IT. NEXT, I WAS DRIVING THE JEEP, HAD STOPPED TO GET GAS, THEN STARTED TO DRIVE AND SUDDENLY, THE JEEP NO LONGER WOULD MOVE. THERE WAS A HORRIBLE SMELL, AND I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AT 9 P.M, 6 HOURS FROM HOME. THE VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE SHOP, AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY'LL BE THROUGH WITH IT!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO(THE FIRST INCIDENT) MY PARKED VEHICLE STARTED ON ITS OWN, NO KEYS IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE IS A MANUAL AND WAS IN FIRST GEAR WITH THE PARKING BRAKE DOWN WHEN IT STARTED UP AND STARTED LURCHING FORWARD INTO THE WALL OF THE GARAGE. I HAD TO TAKE THE BATTERY CABLES OFF OF THE BATTERY TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM CRASHING INTO THE WALL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANIC CLAIMED, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WASN'T ACTULLY HAPPENING AT THE TIME, THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS SINCE. HONESTLY, I'M AFFRAID TO PARK IT ANYWHERE IN A PUBLIC PLACE BECAUSE IT COULD POSSIBLY ENDANGER THE LIVES OF OTHER MOTORISTS OR PEDESTRIANS NEAR BY. AT THE MOMENT I HAVE IT AT PETERSBURG JEEP/CHRYSLER IN PETERSBURG VA. (804-862-1000) FOR THE LASTEST INCIDENT INVOLVING THIS PROBLEM. ANY HELP OR INFORMATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

ONGOING PROBLEM WITH STEERING COLUMN MAKING SCRAPING NOISS. VEHICLE BENN IN / OUT OF DEALER SHOP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BEFORE THEY REPLACED STEERING COLUMN. LESS THEN THREE MONTHS LATER, PROBLEM REOCCURRED. CONSUMER BELIEVED THAT THE DEALER WOULD REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART, AND IF SO, HOW LONG WOULD THEY DO THIS UNTIL WARRANTY RAN OUT. IF SO, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? ! CAN NHTSA HELP WITH THIS MATTER BEFORE THIS OCCUR AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER. *AK

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
MY WIFE WAS SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND THE STICK SHIFT SEPARATED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF ROAD OR HARD. WHEN WE CALLED JIM MARSH JEEP MY WIFE TOLD THEM THE STICK SHIFT CAME OFF AND THE PERSON SAID "YOU MUST HAVE A WRANGLER". THIS HAS TO BE MORE THAN AN ISOLATED INCEDENT. HAD WE BEEN 4 WHEELING SOME WHERE IT COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT.
