Title: Jk Recall
Post by: cru9 on September 13, 2012, 07:29:56 PM
There is a recall on the JK's for transmission skid. I did alittle research before my Jeep went in and I didn't like the piece of Junk they were going to replace it with.  So I took the factory one off and left it at home. Picture below wimpy recall on left which leaves trans pan wide open to rocks. Factory one on right with more coverage.

I was told all models. The one on the right they say collects trash and can start a fire.

You have to call A Jeep dealer and talk to service. They will need your VIN# and they will tell you if there is a recall on your Jeep

They are concerned about that tiny skid holding stuff that may catch on fire but they were never worried with the shovel pan under the TJ/LJs?  ::)

This.

Also been waiting for a recall on the Commander (with the rest of the Commander owners) that randomly shuts off on the interstate, but that isnt a problem.  WTF

Oh yea and in some very dangerous situations to loose p/s. The only problem it has. They say the driver hits the key with his knee.   </LMAO/>

Not even close, plus you can slap the key around all day and it doesnt cut off.

Nope, Chrysler forced my hand, I had to take a huge life insurance policy out on the whole family {peek}

It might go a year or so without doing it, then all of a sudden it does it. Great vehicle, maintenance wise other than that issue.

And what I dont get is when the JK had the shut off issue in early models (my first 07 did it a few times) they had a recall and fixed it quick!

Hell the Jeep liberty meg drives. The 04-07 i think have a plastic clip on the window regulator that can break any time. People have reported coming out of work and windows that were up when they went it were down when they came out. The fix is to put a new window/regulator out of the 2003 jeep liberty. Recall on the windows? nope

How about rear main seal leaks on the 4.0? Common problem. I have had a leak over a yr and I am just short of 30k miles  WTF  My 14 yr old honda civic doesnt leak oil with 168,000 miles.

But going back to the JK. Maybe instead of the skid plate, they should install trans coolers to keep the trans from getting hot, spitting fluid out the overflow and on to the exhaust... From what I remember the only fires in JKs driving down the road were autos. What does that tell you?

Let me get off my soapbox and get back to work...
