My 08 Wrangler Unlimited X top leaked after I drove it through a high pressure car wash. The drips came down in a semi steady stream just over the radio cover. I called Chrysler customer service and they said they do not recommend high pressure car washes- so I've stayed away from them. The vehicle has since been involved with some heavy rain storms without any problems. The 2007 Wrangler forum suggests that there is a proper sequence to follow when installing the front top pieces after you take it off- I think the sequence is spelled out in your owner's manual. I believe my leak was caused by a curious prospective customer that loosened the long turning screw overhead and did not torque it back down.

Bad transmission

Just bought my first jeep (never will again at this point) Chrysler is very hard to deal with. Got my brand new Jeep Wrangler X on Friday by Saturday the engine light came on, called the dealership right away and they said they just filled up the tank with gas and probably the cap was not put on right. Reasonable explanation: by Monday engine light was still on. Called the dealership they came to my employment picked up my Jeep and put it on the computer and it showed codes for a transmission problem. Now this Jeep only has 40 miles on it. The service department called Chrysler for the codes on the computer to see what the problem was. Chrysler never called them back until late Tuesday night and probably wouldn't have called then if I didn't call the customer hotline and find out why. Well the code said it was a sensor in the transmission. The sensor was overnighted to the dealership and on Wednesday when the service manager pulled the transmission it was not a bad sensor, the factory built transmission is garbage. So on this brand new Jeep with only 40 miles on it has to have its transmission rebuilt. In the mean time Chrysler would not even authorize the dealership to give me a loaner car. If the dealership did not feel guilty over the Jeep, they gave me a SUV to use because I live in the mountains and no normal car gets me were I am going. So has anyone else had transmission problems with their new Jeeps and problems dealing with Chrysler???

Same problem here. Bought mine on 1/1/08. Radio and Sat play fine. But when you put in a good cd or play hdd, thump, thump, thump. My dumbass dealership said it was the receiver. So they replaced it. Didn't even test it before I picked it up cause it did the same thing. So this time, they said it must be the speakers. So they ordered all new speakers and sub. Well guess what, that will not fix it either but I'm gonna let them put new speakers in anyway. This has the makings of a factory recall in my opinion. What ever happened to yours? Thanks.

I bought mine 1/1/08 and has been in once for the leak problem. They said it was fixed. Rain storm yesterday proved them wrong. Jeep still leaks at the same point I am reading about in the forum. I immediantly drove to the dealership right around the corner from my work and showed them the leak. Now, they want to try again. Does anybody know if this problem is fixable? And any info for me to tell the dealership to help them along. This is a hugh Chrysler dealership and I would have expected they knew what they were doing.

It is so strange hearing your experience because I am going through the exact same thing. Even the survey stuff. My dealership in Memphis, TN is scared to death that I am going to blast them on a survey. Which I am! So next week will be my 2nd visit for this problem. After hearing your situation, I am allready preparing myself for the 3rd visit. Please keep me posted if your leak starts again.

I really like my jeep too. Even with the hassel of getting it fixed. I am not affraid at all of being honest on a survey. It can only help them be better. There are other Chrysler dealerships in Memphis that I can use if I get totally fed up with this one. This one is just so close to my office which makes it nice. My service tech is doing a great job, but once my jeep goes to the back, I'm not so sure.
