2007 Jeep Wrangler Complaint Log

TAKATA RECALL WE FEEL WE CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE MULTIPLE FAMILY MEMBERS AND WE NEED THIS VEHICLE (WE ACTUALLY HAVE 2 JEEP AFFECTED WHICH IS QUITE UNFORTUNATE). WHEN DO THEY EXPECT A FIX?

TAKATA RECALL. WENT TO TRADE IN VEHICLE AND DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT TAKE IT IN ON TRADE BECAUSE OF OPEN RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

STRONG SMELL OF GAS IN THE GARAGE AFTER SHUTTING JEEP OFF FOR PAST 3-4 YEARS. FUEL SPIT ISSUE RESOLVED WITH WARRANTY 12/2013. GAS SMELL AFTER SHUTTING JEEP OFF CONTINUED. 09/2014 DEALERSHIP PULLED CODE P0456, "VENT TUBE AT TANK BROKEN." PAID TO HAVE DEALERSHIP ORDER AND INSTALL A NEW TANK ONLY TO FIND THE "NEW TANK HAS CRACK AT ROLLOVER VALVE," HAD TO ORDER A SECOND REPLACEMENT FUEL TANK, INSTALLED WITH NO PROBLEMS NOTED. HEAVY SMELL OF RESIDUAL FUEL IN THE GARAGE CONTINUED TO PERSIST TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE TO LEAVE THE GARAGE OPEN TO VENT THE FUMES FOR FEAR OF IGNITION. COULD NOT VISUALLY IDENTIFY ANY FUEL LEAK. ALL THE WHILE HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COMING OFF AND ON POINTING TO EMISSIONS AND FUEL SYSTEM. ANOTHER TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP 07/2015, PULLED CODE P0406, STATED "COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AT THIS TIME." HEAVY GAS SMELL CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. 07/2016 TOOK JEEP TO MECHANIC, PULLED CODES P0456 AND P0486, FOUND THE FUEL TANK VENT TUBE WAS CRACKED AGAIN, NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK AND EGR VALVE. BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. TANK IS OUT OF WARRANTY, HAVE TO REPLACE THE 22 MONTH OLD FUEL TANK AGAIN. THE FUEL SYSTEM HAS HAD CONSISTENT PROBLEMS FROM INCEPTION. THE HEAVY GAS ODOR AND CRACKED FUEL TANKS POSE A SERIOUS LIFE SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A VEHICLE AND/OR A RESIDENCE CATCHES FIRE. THE CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE TO GAS VAPORS ALONE IS SERIOUS CONCERN DUE TO THE CARCINOGENIC NATURE OF FUEL AND ITS VAPORS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IN VARIOUS JEEP FORUMS ONLINE, THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A SINGULAR EVENT AND IS ACTUALLY QUITE COMMON. MANY JEEP ENTHUSIASTS ARE DIY'ERS AND ARE MODIFYING/JURY RIGGING THE VENT TUBE THEMSELVES INSTEAD OF PAYING FOR A REPLACEMENT TANK, WHICH MEANS THERE ARE A LOT OF JEEPS CAUSING HEIGHTENED EMISSIONS AND POSE FURTHER SAFETY CONCERNS THAT ARE GOING UNREPORTED AND THAT YOU ARE UNAWARE OF.

PUMPING GAS TO FILL THE TANK ALWAYS OVERFLOWS. THE SENSOR THAT TELLS THE PUMP TO SHUT OFF DOESN'T WORK CAUSING GAS TO OVERFLOW ALL OVER THE CAR, MYSELF AND THE GROUND. WHAT A WASTE OF PRICEY GAS.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP WRANGLER 2007 WHEN I STARTED TO LOST POWER AND I TRY TO MOVE TO THE EMERGENCY LINE BUT MY BRAKES WENT OUT AND MY WHEEL WERE LOCKED, I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL MY CAR AT ALL, AFTER MY CAR ABRUPTLY STOP I RUN TO GET MY CHILD OUT AND MY CAR WAS ON FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD (PASSENGER SIDE) I DIDN'T HAVE A WARNING, I CHECKED MY DASHBOARD AND NOTHING WAS ON, MY CAR WAS AT THE CHRYSLER DEALER FOR SERVICE TWO WEEKS AGO AND PASS STATE INSPECTION LAST WEEK. THAT'S IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO GET MY BAG AND WALLET, MY CAR WAS ON FLAMES. CHRYSLER NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. WE NEED SOME ANSWERS. MY CAR WAS IN MOTION, IN A HIGHWAY.

MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING FROM OK TO TX, BEFORE THE FIRE MY BRAKES WENT OUT AND MY WHEEL WAS LOCKED. BETWEEN A MINUTE OF RUNNING OUT OF THE CAR WITH MY BABY MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY IN FLAMES, MY JEEP WAS AT THE DEALER 2 WEEKS AGO FOR SERVICE, I NEVER HAVE A DASHBOARD WARNING, CAR WAS WORKING PERFECTLY UNTIL CAUGHT IN FIRE, OH BEFORE MY BREAKS WENT OUT MY CAR STARTED TO LOST POWER AND THE FIRE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD (PASSENGER SEAT) WE NEED SOME ANSWERS, THAT'S NOT FSIR....UPDATED 08/08/16 *BF...UPDATED 08/30/16 *BF *CN

TAKATA RECALL: IN JULY 2016 I RECEIVED NOTICE FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAG SAFETY RECALL. AT THAT TIME NO REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE & I WAS TOLD THAT AVAILABILITY WAS UNKNOWN AT THAT TIME. IN EARLY DECEMBER I WAS NOTIFIED THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE BUT NOW FOR ONLY ONE OF THE AIRBAGS AND THAT WAS REPAIRED. HOWEVER, AS TO THE 2ND AIRBAG, AGAIN THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THERE IS NO KNOWN DATE WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. TO BE TOLD THAT THERE IS A DEFECT AND NOW WAITING OVER 5 MONTHS FOR COMPLETE REPAIR IS NOT RIGHT AND EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING. WHY MAY JEEP TAKE SO LONG TO REPAIR THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM?

TAKATA RECALL.: HOW CAN I GET A RENTAL VEHICLE OR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY APPEAR TO HAVE NOTHING IN PLACE TO REPAIR THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE ON THEIR PROBLEM? PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED AND I SHOULDN'T B A VICTIM EITHER. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO HOW FIAT WILL TAKE CARE OF MY LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM. DON'T LET THIS REQUEST GO INTO A BLACK HOLE. I EXPECT A PROMPT ANSWER BECAUSE THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE THIS WEBSITE. [XXX]. I HAVE BEEN SENT THE RECALL NOTIFICATION. PLUS I JUST HAD OPEN HEART SURGERY AND ANY FORCE TO MY CHEST COULD KILL ME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING, IF THE VEHICLE HITS A SMALL BUMP, THE FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH UNTIL I AM ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND CAN BE FOUND ON THE INTERNET AS THE "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE". WE'VE SPENT $900 TO HAVE THIS FIXED AND HAVE BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT GARAGES TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THE MECHANICS CAN'T FIND ANYTHING MORE THAT IS WRONG AND CLAIM IT'S A DESIGN FLAW IN THE VEHICLE.

JEEP VIOLENTLY POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE L. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. FROM DOING RESEARCH ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE WHO OWN THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION JEEP JK MODEL. THIS CAN BE EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS WHEN GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS OR CHANGING LANES AS THE JEEP WILL POP OUT IF GEAR AND NO LONGER ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE DAY ONE OF ME PURCHASING IT.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP AT THE GAS PUMP GAS OVER FLOWS. I'M AFRAID TO FILL UP ANYMORE WHILE BEING ANYWHERE NEAR THIS THING. THE GAS ERITATES MY SKIN AND EYES. THIS IS SO WRONG.

WHILE GOING APPX. 55-70MPH, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, GO OVER A BUMP IN ROAD (DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A BIG BUMP) VEH. STARTS SHAKING, STEERING WHEEL HAS BEEN JERKED OUT OF MY HANDS. HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND DOES NOT MATTER WHERE. VEH. PULLS EXTREMELY HARD NOT WANTING TO GO FORWARD. MANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS HAVE ALSO BEEN DOCUMENTED ON THIS. MAYBE IF I MARKED A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT OR DEATH CAUSED BY THIS, JEEP WOULD DO SOMETHING. I HAVE COMPLETED A FIX THAT HAS BEEN GOOD NOW FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. REPLACED BALL JOINTS, ADDED TO STEERING SHOCKS TO KEEP STEERING FORWARD, REPLACE BOTH TIE RODS, FRONT END ALIGNMENT, NEW SHOCKS (ALL 4). HAVE PAID OUT MY PART ON KEEPING MY JEEP SERVICED. BUT, JEEP STILL HAS NOT ANSWERED THIS COMPLAINT NOW FOR YEARS. EXPAND QUESTION: WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2007. JEEP DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

MY WRANGLER HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING "DEATH WOBBLE" FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR TODAY SINCE IT WAS PARTICULARLY BAD. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING 60MPH WHEN THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIGOROUSLY. I'VE TAKEN THIS TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIX IT. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST 3 TIMES PER WEEK. JEEP NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE CRIMP CONNECTION FAILS SPILLING TRANS FLUID

MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE TRIED CLEANING THE WIRING CONNECTORS UNDER THE FRONT SEAT BUT THIS HAS HAD NO EFFECT ON THE LIGHT GOING ON OR OFF. THIS HAPPENS SOMETIMES AS IT IS SITTING STILL AS WELL AS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE FOUND THIS BEING AN ISSUE WHILE RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE IN EVERY FORUM THAT I HAVE SEARCHED IN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY WHEN AND IF NEEDED. I HAVE KIDS THAT DRIVE AND RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE JEEP STARTED SPITTING AND SPUTTERING I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AS I GO TO GET OUT IT BURSTED INTO FLAMES FROM UNDER THE HOOD THEN QUICKLY SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE JEEP QUICKLY

TAKATA RECALL . I WAS GIVEN A RECALL NOTICE EARLY IN 2016 . THE JEEP DEALER IN N MIAMI SAID THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND THEY WILL NOTIFY WHEN THEY ARRIVE. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED IN 1 YEAR. I AM MOST APPREHENSIVE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON MAJOR ROADS . THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE . PLEASE ADVISE

AT ANY GAS STATION (VEHICLE STATIONARY) WHEN FILLING UP FUEL TANK, USING THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF ON THE PUMP, IT WILL SHUT OFF, BUT ALWAYS ALLOWS GAS TO OVERFLOW AND SPEW A SMALL AMOUNT OF GAS OUT THE FILLER HOLE AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. SUSPECT SOME SORT OF FILLER NECK OR GAS TANK VENTILATION PROBLEM. THIS MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED TODAY (1/11/16), BUT HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I'VE FILLED THE GAS TANK SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO.

ASKING ABOUT A RECALL REGARDING THE RADIO'S IN JEEPS HAVING A SECURITY FLAW THAT ALLOW HACKERS TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I NOTED IN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ARTICLE BY TOM KRISHER JAN 8-10, 2016 THAT CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. CAN YOU PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL REGARDING MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHICH MODEL YEARS THIS RECALL WAS FOR AND WHAT CHRYSLER DID TO CORRECT IT. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AT RANDOM, MY HORN NO LONGER WORKS. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY. I GOT THE RECALL INFORMATION STATING THAT THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY MAY BECOME CONTAMINATED, BUT MY VIN IS NOT ONE THAT IS OFFICIALLY RECALLED. I WOULD REALLY LIKE THIS FIXED AS IT IS A SHOW VEHICLE. THANK YOU! (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 16V290). ALSO, MY GAS ALWAYS SPLASHES OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT'S ANY WHERE NEAR FULL. IT DOESN'T TRIGGER THE GAS PUMP TO STOP AND SPLASHES BACK AT ME EVERY TIME I FILL UP FOR GAS. PLEASE HELP! *TR

VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING AN UNSAFE SPEED WOBBLE WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 40 MPH, VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50K MILES, I ALREADY HAD ALL OF THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS REPLACED AND THE CONDITION REMAINS, CHRYSLER/JEEP AS A MANUFACTURER SHOULD COME UP WITH A REPAIR WHETHER IT IS COVERED BY MANUFACTURER OR BY CUSTOMER PAID, THERE SHOULD BE A PROPER REPAIR FOR THE PROBLEM, THIS CONDITION COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE COOLANT LINES FOR THE TRANSMISSION BLEW OUT AND CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO FAULTY COOLANT LINES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" AS OF YESTERDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2015, A WHITE TAPE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO BACK OFF WHICH I THOUGHT WAS ODD BUT, IT WENT BACK OUT SO I WASN'T CONCERNED AND IT NEVER STAYED ON FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. THEN YESTERDAY I GET IN MY JEEP TO GO TO WORK AND AS I TURN THE WHEEL OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, I COULD HEAR THIS NOISE LIKE SOMEONE WAS WRINKLING UP PAPER. IT IS ONLY EIGHT MILES FROM MY HOME TO WORK SO, I KEPT LISTENING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS. BY THE TIME I GOT TO WORK, THERE WAS A WHITE TAPE COMING OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. AFTER WORK, I TOOK IT AND HAD IT LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE "CLOCK SPRING" IS UNRAVELING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. USUALLY THIS IS ONLY SEEN WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG HAS BEEN DEPLOYED. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT SO, IT SHOULD NOT BE UNRAVELING INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN. I WAS ALSO TOLD, I SHOULDN'T DRIVE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE IS A CHANCE THE AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY. I GOT IT HOME AND NOW IT IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE VEHICLE HIT SOMETHING ON THE ROAD (SMALL BUMP) WHICH RESULTED IN A VIOLENT SHAKING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SINCED LEARNED THAT THIS CONDITION IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE CONDITION WAS SO VIOLENT I WAS FORCED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST FOUR WEEKS. THE FIRST INSTANCE I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE SECOND INSTANCE I WAS IN A CURVE. THE CONDITION DOES NOT RESOLVE ITSELF ALTHOUGH THE MAGNITUDE OF THE VIBRATION DOES DECREASE WITH SPEED. THE VEHICLE IS UNDRIVABLE WITH THIS CONDITION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 55-70 MPH. THE CONDITION IS INDUCED BY NORMAL UNDULATIONS AND VARIATIONS IN THE ROAD (I.E.: NOT ONLY A HUGE POTHOLE). AFTER STOPPING ON THE SHOULDER AND INSPECTING THE UNDERCARRIAGE I NOTICED NOTHING UNUSUAL. I RESUMED DRIVING HOWEVER, THE CONDITION DID NOT RESOLVE ITSELF AND I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE BELOW 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY (AS I HAD NO OTHER OPTIONS). AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR ~30 MINS I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND THE CONDITION WAS NOT PRESENT. EACH OCCURRENCE WAS RESOLVED THE SAME WAY BY ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO REST. CHRYSLER DID RELEASE A TECHNICAL SERVICE ADVISORY THAT DESCRIBES WHAT TO CHECK. MY ISSUE IS THAT BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ENCOUNTERING PROBLEMS WITH RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE (MY VEHICLE IS AT 65K) THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE VICE THE CONSUMER TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT OR PREMATURELY WORN PARTS.

I BOUGHT A USED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DR, 4X4 SOFT TOP, IN OCT 20014. IT HAD 82,000 MILES. I HAD NO PREVIOUS BUYING ON THIS MODEL. I DRIVE MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES IN NORTH EAST OHIO. I DRIVE ALMOST 90 MILES, ROUND TRIP, PER WORK WEEK. I NOTICED A SLIGHT BOUNCE IN THE FRONT END, SUSPENSION DURING HIGHWAY POSTED SPEEDS OF 65 MILES PER HOUR. I CHANGED THE THE SHOCKS 4 EA.AFTER MY FRONT STRAIGHT AXIAL BEGAN TO BOUNCE UP AND DOWN, WELL THE BOUNCE WAS WORSE, AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TRYING TO HANDLE ROAD CONDITION, EVEN CHANGING ROUTE, TO AVOID THE BOUNCE, AT HIGHWAY SPEED 60 MILES AND UNDER, IT WAS COLD OUT 40 DEGREES, HEAVY TRAFFIC CHRISTMAS TIME, RUSH HOUR, MY JEEP WENT INTO A RADICAL BOUNCE CALLED " DEATH WOBBLE " AS NOTED IN THE JEEP WORLD, NOT NOTED BY JEEP, I HAD THREE, IN THE ROW, ONE WORSE, THAN THE ONE BEFORE. THE BOUNCING CAUSED A TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE TO DIS-LARGE, FROM A SITED COUPLING, TO THE ENGINE RADIATER. THE LOSE OF 4 QUARTS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID TO SPILL ON THE 5 LANE HIGHWAY. I NOTICED A LOSE IN SPEED, SMOKE AND RPM ADVANCE, FROM 1800 TO 4000 RPMS IN LESS THAN A MINUTE. NOW I HAD TO NAVIGATE MY WAY THROUGH 4 LANES OF HEAVY 60 MILES TO 75 MILE AN HOUR TRAFFIC, WITH OUT GETTING HIT. WITHIN TWO MILES I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. I HAD A FLASHLIGHT, I LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING, BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING DARK OUT, I WENT UP FRONT AND LOOKED AT THE FRONT END AND SAW TRANSMISSION FLUID. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, AND CALLED FOR A TOW. 2 HOURS LATER, PLUS 77.00 DOLLARS, I WENT HOME. I LIVE ON A BUDGET. I WROTE JEEP, BUT WITHOUT A WORD, FROM THEM. SO I LOOKED AT MY OWNERS MANUAL, AND SAW NOTHING ABOUT CHANGING SHOCKS, COIL SPRINGS AT MILES MAINTENANCE SERVICE INTERVALS. I NOTICED YOUR NAME, SO I CONTACTED YOU FOR HELP. LUCKILY I WASN'T HIT OR WORSE. I'M 62 YEARS YOUNG, AND HAVE DRIVING EXPERIENCE. I HOPE THIS HELPS.
