THIS REPORT IS REGARDING THE NV3550 CLUTCH CHATTER ON MY JEEP. I HAVE BEEN REPORTING THIS TO VARIOUS DEALERS AND TO DAIMLER CHRYSLER SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE. I KNOW MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. DC AND DEALERS BEGAN BY SAYING IT WAS NORMAL. NOW THERE ARE RUMORS THAT THERE WILL BE A TSB RELEASED ON THIS ISSUE. I AM REPORTING IT TO YOU AS SUGGESTED BY A FRIEND--MAINLY 'FOR THE RECORD.' THANKS.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
SINCE PURCHASE HAS HAD ROUGH GRINDING LIKE SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR, OFTEN WITH LOUD CLUNKING SOUNDS AND STIFF SHIFTING. DEALER NOTIFIED TWICE BUT SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. MANY OTHERS COMPLAINING OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE NVG 3550 MANUAL 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION. I FEAR SOMEDAY THIS TRANSMISSION WILL COMPLETELY FAIL AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *MR *NLM **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS*733521

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
UPON STARTING OF VEHICLE AFTER FUELING A 'POP' WAS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND ENGINE STALLED. RESTARTED ENGINE WITH NO DIFFICULTY AND ENCOUNTERED A HIGH IDLE SPEED. CHECKED TO SEE IF LINKAGE WAS SOMEHOW BINDING OR IF VEHICLE HAD BACKFIRED THROUGH THE THROTTLE BODY. NO EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE DUE TO BACKFIRE SO PROCEEDED TO DRIVE VEHICLE. AFTER TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES OF HIGHWAY ENCOUNTERED A STOP LIGHT, APPLIED BRAKES TO FIND THAT THERE WERE NONE. AT THAT POINT REALIZED THAT THE SOUND HEARD UPON STARTING WAS THAT OF THE VACUUM BOOSTER HOSE SEPERATING FROM THE MANIFOLD. NOTED THAT NEITHER HOSE INSTALLED AT THIS POINT ARE SECURED WITH A HOSE CLAMP. REINSTALLED HOSE AND HAVE HAD NO FURTHER OCCURRENCE.*AK

GRINDING / RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM TRANSMISSION AREA WHEN CLUTCH PEDAL NOT DEPRESSED AND STOPS WHEN DEPRESSED. PROBLEM ALSO WORSENS AS VEHICLE WARMS UP. THIS HAS OCCURED AND PERSISTED SINCE VEHICLE WAS FIRST PURCHASED. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION ALSO BECOMES PROGRESSIVELY HARDER TO SHIFT AFTER VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FOR A SHORT TIME.

TIRES
AFTER PICKING MY SON UP FROM HIS SCHOOL BUS STOP, THE VEHICLE BEGAN LIGHTLY SHUDDERING AT APPROX.8-10 MPH. I THOUGHT MAYBE A WEIGHT HAD FALLEN OFF AND CONTINUED THE BLOCK AND A HALF DRIVE HOME. WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE AGAIN LATER IN THE EVENING, I NOTICED A MESS OF WHAT LOOKED LIKE TIRE SHAVINGS ON THE GROUND AND LOOKED CLOSELY AT THE TIRE. THE TREAD HAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. I CHANGED THE TIRE TO THE SPARE BUT NOW AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE REMAINING TIRES AND THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS HAPPENING TO THEM. I AM THE MOTHER OF TWO YOUNG KIDS-RECENTLY SEPARATED FROM MY HUSBAND AND THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. THERE IS NO MONEY FOR NEW TIRES AND I AM SCARED TO DEATH OF DRIVING NOW. PLEASE ASDVISE AS TO MY RIGHTS AND THE RESPONSIBILITY/LIABILITY OF FIRESTONE. THANK YOU-MEAGAN BLACKINGTON. *AK( DOT NUMBER: VD66-6TA TIRE SIZE: 30X9.50R15 )
