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

SINCE I GOT THE RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER AND I IMMEDIATELY CALL THEM TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT BUT BEFORE I WENT THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART FOR THE CAR. THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT UNTIL THEY GOT THE PART. SO I WAITED. TODAY (NOVEMBER 20) MY CAR DIDN'T START WHEN I TRIED TO START IT AND THE CAR MADE A CLICKING SOUND. SO I GAVE UP AND WHEN I TURN IT ALL OFF AND TOOK THE KEY FROM THE SWITCH, THE CAR STILL MADE THE BEEPING SOUND LIKE IF THE KEY WAS STILL IN THE SWITCH. SO I LOCKED MY CAR AND THIS EVENING I WENT TO GET SOMETHING FROM MY CAR AND THE BATTERY IS DYING. SO NOW I CAN'T GO TO WORK TOMORROW BECAUSE MY CAR ISN'T STARTING. I JUST RECENTLY CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART AND THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN'T GIVE ME A RENTAL BECAUSE THEY DON'T GIVE THEM FOR RECALLS AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL THE CHRYSLER MAIN PHONE AND I DID. CHRYSLER SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T GIVE A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE IT'S NOT FOR THE RECALL AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX MY CAR UNTIL THEY MAKE THE PART. SO NOW I HAVE A BROKEN JEEP OUTSIDE PARKED. *TR
