2007 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“I bought my Jeep 12/12/16 and it had 43,319 miles on it. On 2/7/17 at 45,233 miles I had the first engine replacement done. On 5/17/17 at 46,552 miles I had the transmission rebuilt. On 11/1/18 at 65,858 miles I had the second engine replacement. On 3/8/19 at 68,980 miles I had the third replacement engine installed. I got my Jeep back on 4/15/19 and now I hear a ticking like sound and I'm told it could be an exhaust leak. Also, before I got the third engine installed the Jeep would pop out of first gear when I start to accelerate, just like before. …”

“My Jeep with 86k miles engine blew. One week earlier when driving over 40 miles per hour it seemed to wobble a bit from left to right, I thought maybe it was because I had 4 wheel drive on.

Then after not driving the vehicle for 4 days I moved it out of my driveway and was less then a block from my home when the oil light came on and half a block later the engine cut out. The car wouldnt start again and I had it towed to the dealer where I purchased it. …”

“My 2007 4 door Jeep sahara wrangle pops out of 1st gear when I begin from a full stop. It occurs once or twice a week. My Jeep currently has 43,000 miles on it. The trouble began in september 2010.”

“On multiple occasions my 2007 Jeep wrangler jk has popped out of gear. Usually does this in 1st gear, this is a huge safety concern as when it happens I am stranded a few feet from where I started off. I am only waiting for the time that it happens in front of another vehicle in an intersection. It is scary, other than safety it is also a major inconvenience and makes me feel that I am going to damage my transmission and my clutch. Talking to other owners of this same style of Jeep, this is a problem from 2007 to 2010 and I feel that it should be addressed by the factory.”

“While driving on paved roads at speeds of 35 MPH or less in a local park, a loud chime began to sound with no corresponding indicator light. I pulled over and shut the engine off, waited a few seconds, restarted the engine, the chime was not sounding, so I drove home. Once on the highway, the torque converter would not lock up properly and continued to slip for several miles until normal operation resumed. After checking everything once home, it appears that the chime was indicating the transmission was overheating, explaining the malfunction of the torque converter. …”
