What owners say
"takata recall" I was driving my jeep wrangler 2007 when I started to lost power and I try to move to the emergency line but my brakes went out and my wheel were locked, I was not able to control my car at all, after my car abruptly stop I run to get my child out and my car was on flames under the hood (passenger side) I didn't have a warning, I checked my dashboard and nothing was on, my car was at the chrysler dealer for service two weeks ago and pass state inspection last week. That's is not acceptable, I didn't have time to get my bag and wallet, my car was on flames. Chrysler need to do something about it. We need some answers. My car was in motion, in a highway.
The fuse box caught fire/wire harness melted and was smoking before someone was able to disconnect the battery to stop more damage.
My hot oil light comes on going on inclines in 2wd or 4wd when my tranny fluid gets hot it shoots fluid out of the tranny lines @ fittings! I have called chrysler and went to my local dealer and they say I need a tranny cooler but I feel they should do the work since they know of the issues all 4dr auto jks are having and since they did install the hotoil light on it a couple of years ago ! Any suggestions on how to handle wld b great! It very well could catch on fire and there are a ton of jeeps that have and nothing has been done ! Thanks

Filled up my 2007 jeep wrangler sahara unlimited and the gas overflowed and sprayed in my face and eyes. I had to rush into the bathroom and flush my eyes and face with water. I does this everytime you fill up, this time it just got me in the face. Needs to recalled and fixed. My dealer won't fix it under warranty since its been over 3 years. Its gonna kill someone, what if it caught fire? Not to mention the environmental impact of putting that much gas on the ground.
