POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION IS AND WAS STILL VERY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT FROM SECOND (2ND) GEAR AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES. IT TAKES QUITE A LOT OF FORCE AND THEREFORE CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME. IT ALSO (THE NEW TRANSMISSION AND THE OLD TRANSMISSION) MAKES NOISE (RATHER LOUD) WHEN THE CLUTCH IS NOT PRESSED IN. *AK

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
I HAVE A 2001 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA WITH APPROXIMATELY 20 KMI. THE HYDRAULIC UNION FITTING BETWEEN THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR AND THE HOSE DISASSEMBLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FAILURE CAUSED A RAPID LOSS OF CLUTCH HYDRAULIC FLUID, LEAVING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS PURCHASED FROM TWO DAYS, AND APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES PRIOR TO THE FAILURE (THE SERVICE WAS FOR THE DEBRIS SHIELD RECALL AND A LUBE, OIL AND FILTER CHANGE). THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DAIMLERCHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER CONTEND THAT THE DEALER IS NOT AT FAULT, AND THE REPAIR IS THEREFORE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THAT MEANS THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT ROOT CAUSE OF THE FAILURE IS DUE TO EITHER THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING PROCESS. IN EITHER CASE, THIS WOULD CAUSE OTHER JEEP VEHICLES TO EXPERIENCE A CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF CLUTCH HYDRAULIC FLUID WHILE IN OPERATION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE DIGITAL PHOTOS OF THE FAILED JOINT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS AN EMAIL ADDRESS WHERE I CAN SEND THEM TO YOU.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM, SUSPENSION:MULTIPLE AXLE
REAR BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE WHEN APPLIED. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO BACK DOWN A DIRT INCLINE. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED, THE FRONT BRAKES HAD LOCKED UP AND THE REAR BRAKES DID NOTHING, THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE BACKWARDS. THIS HAPPENED IN THE SECOND INCIDENT AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH THE REAR AXLE-DANA 44/226 MM. THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE USED FOR ITS PURPOSE. RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKED GREASE ONTO THE RIGHT REAR OF THE DIFFERENITAL, DEALER FOUND BEARING FAULTY AND REPLACED THE BEARING AND SEAL. *SCC

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH
ATTENDED A MOTOCROSS RACE ON 7-07-02 WHERE I HAD TRACKSIDE PARKING WHICH WAS ON A VERY STEEP HILL.PARKED VEHICLE AND LEFT IN FIRST GEAR AND SET PARKING BRAKE.WAS IN VIEW OF VEHICLE FOR MOST OF RACES.NOTED AS RACES PROGRESSED INTO THE AFTERNOON AND MORE PEOPLE ARRIVED THAT THERE WAS SOME SITTING IN FRONT OF VEHICLE(MAYBE 5 OR SO IN LAWN CHAIRS). AS I APPROACHED VEHICLE TO RETRIVE COOLER OUT OF THE REAR,I NOTICED IT ROLLING TOWARD ME I RAN UP THE HILL ( MAYBE 20 FEET OR SO) AND REACHED IN AND CRANKED STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT(AS WHEEL WAS NOT IN FULLY LOCK POSITION YET TILL I TURNED IT TO THE RIGHT) AND JEEP ROLLED INTO A TREE MISSING THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF IT AND ME.NOTE; HAD SOFT TOP AND SOFT DOORS OFF SO GRABING STEERING WHEEL WAS FAIRLY EASY ATHOUGH DID NOT GET MUCH TURN BEFORE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. UPON INSPECTION( AFTER HITTING TREE AND STOPPING) I NOTICED PARKING BRAKE WAS RELEASED!! UPON ENTERING THIS WEB SITE I SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL # 02V041000 ON THIS VEHICLE. ON 2/11/2002 WHY HAVENT I BEEN NOTIFIED!!!! IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS I I WOULD NEVER HAVE PARKED ON THAT STEEP OF HILL TO BEGIN WITH!! HOW MANY PEOPLE IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE WE ARE NOTIFIED BY THE MFG!!( I TAKE IT MINE IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE AS THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED) I HOPE NONE OF THE OTHER CASES HAD MORE DIRE OUTCOMES!
