2008 Jeep WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4 Power Train Automatic Transmission Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	779446
Internal NHTSA #	10321696
Manufacurer	CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Brand	JEEP
Model	WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4
Model Year	2008
File date	11/03/10
Component	POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My 2008 jeep wrangler was recalled due to overheating fluid in the automatic transmissions. The "solution" provided by jeep is to add a warning light/chime to alert the driver of high transmission fluid temperature. Since the overheated oil can overflow from the transmission and ignite potentially causing catastrophic fire, i do not feel the problem has been addressed properly. The appropriate fix for the problem is to install an auxiliary cooler for the transmission fluid. Such a cooler could prevent the overheating of the transmission fluid and, thereby, prevent damage to the transmission or possible fires. The recall "fix" by jeep has not repaired the problem and does not remedy this dangerous defect in the vehicle.
