2007 Jeep Wrangler X RHD 4X4 Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“There was not a fire but thought there was and 911 was called. I had the oil changed in march and again in july. In septermber there was a clicking noise coming from the engine and I pulled into a drive way and shut off the engine. I asked someone to look at it and when they tried to start the engine smoke came out of the vents and engine would not turn over. Turns out, that the Jeep had no oil in it and the engine burned up. The repair for a new engine is $5200. There were no warning lights at all. No change oil notice , low oil pressure light, overtemp light, or check engine light. …”

“My 2007 Jeep was in the shop for various repairs, however this one took the cake! I arrived home from work (6 miles away) when I noticed smoke coming out from under the hood. I found it was overheating, no indicator light to warn me, temperature gauge was at normal but the smell of anti-freeze was present. Towed it to the dealer and found the heater hose assembly, to be melted through from the bad design, of having it too close to the engine. Also it appeared to have two slices in the hoses , where the clamps were too close to the bend in the hoses. It cost me over $100.00 to have it fixed.”

“Vehicle loses power to accelerator at random, unpredictable times (could be at a stop sign, could be while traveling on a highway, and does not matter if car is hot or cold). Warning light (lightning bolt) flashes on the dashboard, and accelerator is sluggish to respond or unresponsive altogether. I have nearly been in two accidents while pulling into traffic because cars starts to go, but then loses power and the accelerator takes about 3-4 seconds to recognize I am stepping on it. I have had it into chrysler dealership three times now, and they are unable to diagnose the issue. …”

“While driving vehicle and getting ready to park, gear shift locked. Able to shift to park but instrument panel continues to show drive. Unable to start vehicle- stuck on drive.”

“The contact owns a 2007 Jeep wrangler. The contact stated the vehicle shifted out of first gear and third gear without warning while driving approximately 25 MPH. The vehicle was a manual transmission. The contact had to hold the gear shift in place in order to keep it from shifting from one gear to another on its own. The contact stated the failure only occurred during inclement weather. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle also needed a new transmission. The failure mileage was 50 and the current mileage was 48000.”
