SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HAVE E-MAILED YOU SEVERAL TIMES AND NO ANSWER. FRONT BRAKES ON MY JEEP LOCK UP ON SLICK ROAD AND YOU HAVE NO CONTROL, ALMOST WRECKED SEVERAL TIMES. ANTI LOCK BRAKES DO NOT WORK ON FRONT. VEHICLE HAS ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ON ALL FOUR WHEELS. I CANNOT GET ANY SATISFACTION FROM COMPANY. SERVIOCE MANAGER DROVE IT AND ALMOST WRECKED. ANOTHER MECHANIC DROVE IT AND SAID THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU COULD STOP IT ON SLICK ROAD WAS 4-WHEEL. I PAID $23,900.00 FOR IT AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT ON SLLICK ROADS. *AK

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
RETAINER CLIP BROKE OFF MAIN SHAFT, CAUSING FIFTH GEAR NOT TO ENGAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP FOR REPAIR. PIECES OF THE CLIP WERE FOUND IN TRANSMISSION CASE. THE TRANSMISSION TECHNICIAN ORDERED A REPLACEMENT RETAINER CLIP FROM CHRYSLER PARTS, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS FREQUENTLY. THE CHARGE FOR THE RETAINER CLIP WAS $4.87. THE COST TO REMOVE, REPAIR, AND REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WAS $400 PLUS GEAR OIL AND TAXES. IF I WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THE REPAIRS MAY HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S 7 YEAR, 70,000 MILE WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THE REPEATED OCCURRENCE OF THIS CLIP FAILURE. *AK

ALSO, TRANSMISSION: THE 5-SPEED TRANSMISSION USED WITH THE 4.0L HAS MAJOR PROBLEMS SHIFTING INTO SECOND WHEN COLD. JEEP'S ANSWER FOR YEARS HAS BEEN "THEY ALL DO THAT" YET THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO USE THE SAME TRANSMISSION AND HAVE NO FIXED FOR THE PROBLEM TO THIS DATE. *AK
