#86 of 159 Re: front end shakes violently ... at high speeds [dldjeep01] by kimber67 Mar 27, 2008 (12:18 pm)
Replying to: dldjeep01 (Oct 30, 2007 5:48 pm) I'm having the exact problem with the same results from the dealer. I have given my case to CAMVAP & have a hearing in a couple of weeks. Chrysler says they have no other experiences like mine. I also have an issue with the dash lights coming on and then my jeep doesn't start. It is currently in the garage for the 16th time. I only bought my Jeep March 2007 I have tried accessing ther maintenance board for the repairs as suggested but I amhave having trouble. Can someone please post the exact link so I can try to acces that way?

Our 2008 Jeep Wrangler pops out of first gear. There is a loud bang and the entire car shakes when it happens. Unfortunatly it's random, and because the dealer can't duplicate it, they won't fix it. They suggested it might be "user-error"; however it happens to both my husband and me, and only in our Jeep.   Does anyone have any ideas how to get this fixed, and what this might be from? I keep thinking I'm hitting something when I hear that bang, and I don't feel very safe, especially when clutch pops out of gear in the middle of an intersection.   I'm hoping also, that people with the same vehicle and the same problem will post so Chrysler *might* be more inclined to fix this problem.

Replying to: shaunas (May 12, 2008 10:29 am) My 2008 Wrangler dows the same; the problem started around 5K miles, and is getting worse (now nearly 10K miles). Only in first gear, pops out with a loud clunk; dangerous if your pulling into traffic. At first I thought it was user error (just not putting into gear all the way), but having had several thousand miles to focus on it I'm sure there is some weakness in the machine (not to mention, 20 years and a million miles on manual transmissions probably qualifies me as knowing how to shift). It does help to hold the shifter lever hard in the first gear position until you are ready to shift to second.

#90 of 159 Squealing noise from driveshaft by wrangler01 Jun 09, 2008 (9:56 am)
Hi, I have a 2001 four cylinder wrangler. I have been experiencing a squealing noise which has gotten progressively worse. At first I thought it might be a bushing or boot etc. but I wonder if it is the u-joint... The noise is definitely not the wheels as it is sounds like it is moving much faster than the wheels.   Anybody have any suggestions or similar problems? If it is the u-joint, there doesn't seem to be any grease fittings so do I need to replace?   Any help would be appreciated. Replies to this message: erickpl (Jun 09, 2008 10:33 am)

Replying to: wrangler01 (Jun 09, 2008 9:56 am) You sure it's not the belt? My belt would squeal, but I tightened the tensioner pulley and it stopped. The belt was slipping.   A bad u-joint would be a repeating noise...   -Paul
#92 of 159 2008 wrangler starting issues by jackson1955 Jul 10, 2008 (4:52 pm)
Does anyone have issues with their jeep wrangler not starting if the tilt steering column is all the way in the up position. This has been looked at three times by the dealer and each time it is good for about a week and then it wont start. It will start if you move the tilt all the way to the bottom. About halfway down i hear a twang and anytime after that it will start. any solutions?

Replying to: shaunas (May 12, 2008 10:29 am) My 2008 Wrangler does exactly the same thing. I've been waiting to take it in to the dealer until it starts doing it more often because I had the same problem with a steering shimmy that they couldn't duplicate. It's doing it pretty often now so I think I'll take it and tell them to keep driving it until it pops out for them. It really is frightening when it first happens to you or you aren't paying attention, not to mention dangerous when pulling out into traffic. I'm getting to where I keep my hand on the shifter when in 1st gear in case it pops out.

Replying to: flynlevel (Jun 02, 2008 8:28 am) hi,  I have the same problem, but my wrangler is has only 2k. I've taken it twice to two different dealers and they keep saying that it is my fault. I also tried to hold the lever when it is in first but it hit my hand once and I don't do it anymore. If you find any place. or any way to fix this problem please let me know.    Thanks.

Replying to: shaunas (May 12, 2008 10:29 am) I have a 98 Wrangler and on the 4th transmission. Three yrs ago my transmission went out and replaced with a Jasper. I have gone thru three installed in less than 3 yrs and two of them in the last month. The first replaced trans started out as 1st, 2nd and reverse not going in smoothly, lost of grinding. I got replaced then 1st gear popping out (in intersections and about getting rearended)I thought the transmission was laying on the road by the sound that it made and the shaking of the jeep. The more transmissions I get replaced the worse that it does it. The syncronizers are what the problem is supposedly.   I am not getting anywhere with Jasper so I am researching other vehicles and unloading this one. It's a shame because I am so much a Jeep lover but enough is enough.   Good luck with your's. I atleast got 7 good years before the problems began.
