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! THANK-YOU DOUG BREWER. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
FUEL VAPOR LINE BECAME DETACHED CAUSING FUEL LEAK IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO EXHAUST PIPE WHICH CREATED A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. I REPAIRED THIS DEFECT BY USING A CLAMP TO SECURE THE LINE BACK TO FUEL TANK. THERE ARE TWO OF THESE VAPOR LINES THAT ARE ON EACH END OF THE TANK AND THEY ARE NOT SECURED WITH CLAMPS FROM THE FACTORY. WITH THE AGING OF THE RUBBER VAPOR LINE IT CAN BECOME LOSE AND WHEN PRESSURE IN THE FUEL TANK INCREASES IT CAN CAUSE THE ONE OF THE LINES TO POP OFF. THIS RESULTS IN FUEL LEAKING AND CREATES A HAZARDOUS FIRE CONDITION SINCE THE EXHAUST PIPE RUNS NEXT TO THE TANK IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.*AK

PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL
PARKING BRAKE HAS FAILED REPEATEDLY LEADING TO A ROLLING ACCIDENT IN 12/2001. NO OTHER ROLL-A-WAYS LEAD TO ACCIDENTS, BUT DID ON SEVERAL OCCASION LEAD TO MINOR DAMAGE.

I PERSONALLY KNOW SEVERAL OTHER WRANGLER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE ASKED THE TO REPORT TO NHTSA DIRECTLY. PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED ON DEVELOPMENTS. THANKS NORM

ENGINE STARTED TO SOUND LOUDER THAN NORMAL WHEN STARTING UP FROM A COLD START. NOTICED ENGINE WAS COVERED IN OIL. WHEN I TOOK IT TO BE REPAIRED, THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE MANIFOLD EXHAUST BOLT HAD FAILED AND THAT CAUSED MY PROBLEM. HAD IT REPAIRED FOR $300.00. THEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE "TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN" FROM A JEEP WEBSITE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
THE JEEP WAS PARKED IN GARAGE AND HAD WORKED OKAY THE DAY BEFORE. I STARTED ENGINE WITH CLUTCH DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE RAMMED FORWARD HITTING A DOOR IN THE GARAGE AND NARROWLY MISSING A GAS WATERHEATER. MECHANIC LATER SAID THE CLUTCH BEARING CRACKED (VERY RARE HE CLAIMS). THE CLUTCH WAS RUINED, THE FLYWHEEL AND THE TOTAL COST TO FIX WAS $1200.00. THE DOOR WILL COST $500. THE DANGER FROM HITTING THE WATER HEATER WAS EXTREME AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE WOULD THERE HAVE BEEN A FIRE. AGAIN THE VEHICLE DROVE FORWARD WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED AND NO SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL (WHICH EVEN REPAIRMAN CONCEDES IS PROBABLE CONSIDERING THE STATE OF THE FLYWHEEL AND CLUTCH). THIS WAS THE SECOND CLUTCH IN THE VEHICLE AND ONLY HAD 20,000 MILES ON IT! *AK
