What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler rubicon. The contact stated that while traveling at unknown speeds, the transmission fluid suddenly boiled out of the vehicle. The boiling fluid then made contact with the exhaust and caused a fire. The contact sustained back and knee injuries as well as smoke inhalation. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where the failure was confirmed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure.
As I was pulling out from a green light, the manual transmission shift lever was violently thrown out of 1st gear into neutral. The gear shift lever actually left a small bruise on my right hand. I contacted the local dealership. And was told that a TSB was out addressing the issue. I was told that the "inner" shift boot needed to be removed, and/or replaced. I did exactly as they said and removed the inner shift. I did not replace the outer as I wanted to see if this solution worked. It did not.
