I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE N23 WHICH SAID THAT I NEEDED TO CALL MY LOCAL JEEP CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO HAVE THE WORK DONE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COULD CAUSE A CRASH. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CALL AT LEAST A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK SINCE I HAVE RECEIVED THIS NOTICE ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I AM ON A WAITING LIST FOR THE PART. NOTHING CAN BE DONE UNTIL THEY GET THE PART. SINCE THEN, THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. LAST NIGHT, I ALMOST CRASHED AS I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING BECAUSE THE JEEP SEEMED TO LOST CONTROL AND DIED MOMENTARILY AS THE LIGHTS ON MY CONTROL PANEL WERE FLASHING. I WAS TOLD IT WAS ALL DUE TO THE KEY SWITCH BUT I HAVE NOW NOTICED THAT AS THE LIGHTS ARE ALL BLINDINGLY FLASHING THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR NEAR THE FRONT. I AM NOT A MECHANIC SO I HAVE NO IDEA AND I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO TAKE MY JEEP IN AND HAVE THEM "TRY" TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON AND THEN CHARGE ME FOR POSSIBLY FIGURING IT OUT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ALMOST SEVEN MONTHS FOR PARTS THAT THE NOTICE SAYS "PLEASE HURRY!!! CALL THE EXPRESS SERVICE HOTLINE 1-866-849-3608 RIGHT NOW TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR". IS IT BECAUSE IT IS FREE REPAIR THAT THERE IS NO HURRY TO GET THIS FIXED? I HAVE A CHILD! I ALMOST WRECKED. IF ANYONE HAD BEEN AROUND ME OR I HAD BEEN IN A CURVE WHEN I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER AFTER THE CAR DIED, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR WE COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE ELSE! I NEED HELP NOW!!! *TR

ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL STARTED FLASHING AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO SEE MY SPEEDOMETER, THE FAN WAS NOT BLOWING AND THIS CONTINUED UNTIL THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. THE CHECK 4WD SYSTEM CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ON. THE CHECK 4WD SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON NOT LONG AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS BECAUSE THERE ARE ALUMINUM PARTS THAT GET STUCK AND YOU CAN IGNORE IT. THAT IT WAS WORKING FINE. I RARELY USE MY 4WD SYSTEM AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF NORMALLY AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF. THIS STARTED HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND NOW THE LIGHTS FLASHING ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL IS HAPPENING ALL OF THE TIME. THE CHECK 4WD SYSTEM LIGHT HAS STAYED ON FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS. *TR

I BEGAN TO GET A WHINING NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND RECOMMENDATION WERE TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE NOISE WENT AWAY. JUST RECENTLY THE WHINING NOISE RETURNED AND NOW WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST GEAR INTO SECOND IT IS A HARD SHIFT NOT FLUID AND SMOOTH. THE SERVICE STATION WHO I HAVE BEEN GOING TO FOR OVER 30 YEARS IS A VERY REPUTABLE AND A LIFE LONG FRIEND. HE FOUND NO CODES FROM THE ON BOARD COMPUTER AND HIS RECOMMENDATIONS WERE TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED BY AND JEEP DEALER FOR MORE COMPLETE DIAGNOSES AS THEY HAVE EQUIPMENT THAT MIGHT HELP WITH THE PROBLEM BUT HIS DIAGNOSIS WAS PROBABLE BAD TRANSMISSION. FROM THE START THIS CAR ALWAYS HAD A SHIFT PROBLEM FROM FIRST TO SECOND. MANY TIMES THERE WAS A DELAY IN FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND HAD BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BUT WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO CODES NOR ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THE JEEPS ARE KNOWN FOR BAD TRANSMISSION BUT NEVER GOT ANY SERVICE CALLS. *TR
