On may 2nd my son was driving my car, he stopped at the traffic light and when the light changed he accelerate and my car did not responded at that moment he said that he heard a big noise like something just broke in pieces inside of my car, so what happened is that the transmission broke, so we had to call a friend to come an pull my car with his, the I took to the transmission shop and the guy said that this is very expensive, then I look in my car papers and I found out that this car had a recall, for problems with the transmission so that means this is a manufactured problem and I want my new transmission because I take good care of my car as you see it has very low miles. And I have another complaint that this car I have to keep checking the motor oil which is crazy that every two months oil has to be added, my husband has a toyota truck and never has problems with it.

The complaint is how chrysler corp. Is addressing the j30 recall. Transmission overheating causing engine fires. I own a 2008 wrangler that cost 50k. For the j30 recall fix they are adding a hot oil icon on the dash and flash the computer to recognize a sensor. The engine can still catch fire. Someone needs to force chrysler to add a new transmission cooler to cool the fluid, and prevent the oil from boiling. I was told by the dealer engine fires can happen in city traffic starting and stopping. They also informed me that they could sell me one at $500 with two hours of labor at $110 per hr. If this is a recall, due to faulty engineering, then why does the customer have to pay to fix the recall ??? I am writing this before there is property and or personal damage. Hopefully, someone in the federal safety agency can help with the way chrysler is handling this particular recall.
