2017 JEEP WRANGLER Power Train Problems

Parts of the manual transmission are failing and appear in the bottom of the transmission when changing the fluid. It appears to be part of the synchro. This is apparently not uncommon for these manual transmissions. There were no warning lamps or messages indicating a failure or problem with the transmission. A transmission failure can startle a driver and cause an accident. It did not in this case.

Transmission clunking when changing gears, while my abs light is on. The break pedals rumble and the car is scary to drive. These issues are with a faulty abs control module.

Recurrent transmission pan gasket leaking. Repaired and replaced pan and gasket in March 2024 and reoccurred December 2024. Uploaded March Report, currently at dealer for repair 2nd incident now. Vehicles manufactured Nov 2016 had a recall for this same issue but this vehicle wasn’t included due to it being a couple months manufactured. Likely should have been included.

Have the rear axle gears chipping/breaking off. Have mentioned this several times to dealer and they said the noise is normal for Jeeps. Took to independent repair shop and he found the gear issue, and asked me if anyone has worked on this rear end before, which would be no. He stated it looks as if someone has broke the original seal on it. I bought it at Performance CJDR in Delaware Ohio, and I'm wondering if something happened to it before I took ownership of vehicle. In process of repair at Bobbitt's Automotive repair in Lancaster Ohio... On my oil changes, the Rear Differential has always been checked OK... Now that vehicle is out of Power train Warranty this happens... My feeling is that this was always an issue with this vehicle, and was being covered up

The plastic oil filter housing cracked leading to large oil leaks. This had been leaking for awhile and was not immediately noticed due to its placement in the valley between cylinder banks atop the engine. While investigating separate U-joint noise and driveshaft vibration that came on suddenly at 58,000 miles I found oil all over the driveshaft and traced it to the cracked housing. The repair was ~$650. Mechanics stated this is a common issue when oil change technicians over tighten the filter in the plastic housing.

Transmission failure.

We were driving home from about a location an hour away. We were almost to our home when the transmission started to slip. The hot oil light came on as we were trying to ascend our hill where we live. We all of the sudden saw flames coming out the side of the vehicle. We were able to exit the vehicle and get to safety but the jeep burned completely to the ground. There was only 60k miles on it and it had been well maintained.

Oil filter housing is made of plastic and over time the plastic, exposed to heat cycle and elements from being under the plenum, becomes brittle and cracks. The cracks in the oil filter housing create a susbtantial oil leak that drips engine oil onto the exhaust and is a potential for a fire. If the oil level is not properly maintained it could also create a lack of lubrication on the engine for a potential engine lock up while being driven.

When driving at highway speed of appx. 60mph, driver heard a loud pop followed by grinding from under the vehicle. Driver pulled over, and assessed for visible damage, none was seen. A tow truck was called, as the severe grinding sound continued if the vehicle moved at all. It was taken back to the dealership where they discovered that the front driveshaft was completely destroyed. No one was injured, however had this happened during busy traffic it could have caused an incident. The front driveshaft, along with all applicable seals were replaced, at the owners expense as were the towing costs. No cause was found. See also NHTSA ID number: 11156532. My incident was not as severe, however very similar.

Jeep caught on fire on the interstate. 17 year old boy had to pull over and escape vehicle. Vehicle left the side of the road even after being in park and brake. Vehicle continued unmanned on interstate into oncoming traffic engulfed in flames. It has not been confirmed by a dealer. Vehicle was inspected by State Farm. NO warnings given prior to incident.

Faulty torque converter causes vehicle to stall.

Vehicle stalls when going into reverse mainly during first start of the day, but has happened throughout the day as well. Many people in online wrangler forums are attributing this to a faulty torque converter. No symptoms prior to this failure but it’s affecting many jeeps with low mileage like mine.

The transfer case randomly blew up in a ball of fire while driving on a highway speeds of 65-70mph while the vehicle was in 2wd. Vehicle was totalled due to the fire.

In November 2019, 47,000 miles I began experiencing issues with the vehicle popping out of reverse and grinding gears. A shift fork was replaced under warranty. Now, at 68,000 miles I am experiencing the exact same issue. The part is now out of 2 year warranty.

BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2017, AND IN MID-2018, HAD A SYNCHRONIZING ARM REPAIRED, AS THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING OUT OF REVERSE. IN 2019, HAD IT LOOKED AT AGAIN BECAUSE IT WAS SLIPPING OUT OF 4TH GEAR, AND NOTHING WAS FOUND. IN LATE 2020, HAD IT IN TO CHECK A CREAKING NOISE WHEN DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH (LOCAL TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP), AND IT WAS FULL OF RUST, THEY SAID IT NEEDED REPLACED SOMETIME SOON. SO WE TOOK IT IN NOW (FEB. 2021) AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED AS WELL BECAUSE IT SLIPPED OUT OF 4TH FOR THEM WHEN THEY DROVE IT. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY RECOMMENDED CALLING CHRYSLER, WHO OPENED A CASE, AND NOW I'M TAKING IT IN TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND FOLLOWED UP THROUGH THE CASE AT CHRYSLER. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE, AS I'VE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEMS AND FIXES.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2017 JEEP WRANGLER MANUAL TRANSMISSION 4 WEEKS AGO. THE CAR POPS OUT OF REVERSE AND GRINDS TERRIBLY. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY, AT FIRST, SAID FOR SURE, SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THEN TRIED TO TELL US THAT THAT WAS 'NORMAL' FOR 2017 MODELS. WE DISAGREED AND MADE THEM KEEP DIGGING. AFTER LOOKING AT NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON FORUMS ABOUT THE 2017 TRANSMISSIONS POPPING OUT OF REVERSE, THEY FINALLY AGREED SOMETHING IS WRONG. NOW THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR 5 DAYS AND THEY ARE DRIVING IT AND NOW STATE THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS STARING THAT THIS IS A TREND WITH 2017 TRANSMISSIONS. THEY STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY BRAND NEW CAR. I DON'T WANT A NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE 2017 ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND MY BRAND NEW CAR SHOULDN'T HAVE A REBUILT TRANSMISSION IN EITHER. JEEP NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

ON EXTENDED HIGHWAY DRIVING JEEP LOOSES POWER SUDDENLY AND SLOWS TO A STOP. ONCE STOPPED, THE VEHICLE MUST KEYED ON/OFF SEVERAL TIMES TO RESUME NORMAL DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES, AND EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN ON EXTENDED INTERSTATE TRIPS OVER 3+ HRS. NO CEL CODES HAVE BEEN THROWN SO THE DEALER HAS NOT TAKEN THE PROBLEM SERIOUSLY. I'M NOT EVEN SURE THE DEALERSHIP HAS EVEN DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH JEEP TECHNICAL SUPPORT. WE ARE UNSURE WHAT TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE AS WE DO NOT TRUST TO TAKE IT FOR ANY TYPE OF TRIP. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR MANY OTHER ISSUES UNDER WARRANTY AND I WONDER IF THEY ARE ALL RELATED SOMEHOW VIA AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE COMPUTER OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

NO REASON BEHIND IT AND NOTHING THAT I DID TO CAUSE IT. THE FIRE WAS LUCKILY AND QUICKLY EXTINGUISHED BY GOOD SAMARITANS AND CITY WORKERS NEAR BY. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND SHOWED UP ALONG WITH POLICE OFFICER. FIRE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME TO WRITE A COMPLAINT ON THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD TO RESPOND TO MANY JEEP WRANGLER FIRES IN THE LAST 10 YEARS. I WAS SHOCKED AND HORRIFIED, HOW CAN THIS BE??? HOW BAD THIS COULD HAVE TURN OUT TO BE IF CITY WORKERS WHERE NOT NEAR BY WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER?. JEEP NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

JEEP WRANGLER'S MANUAL TRANSMISSION DOES NOT HAVE A REVERSE LOCKOUT AND POP'S OUT OF REVERSE ROUTINELY WHEN POWER IS APPLIED OR YOU PUMP THE CLUTCH AFTER ALREADY SUCCESSFULLY ENTERING REVERSE.

THIS HAS MANIFESTED AT AROUND THE 500 MILE MARK AND PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED MY CURRENT ODOMETER READING IS 1656. ADDITIONALLY THE LACK OF A REVERSE LOCKOUT OR SPECIAL PROCEDURE TO ENTER REVERSE IS MISSING MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR THE OPERATOR TO MISTAKENLY GRIND THE REVERSE GEARS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN TRANSITIONING FROM 5TH TO 6TH GEAR.
