Jeep Fire / Recall L -05

There's something fishy about this ... did this JK come with a trans cooler from the factory? or was this an aftermarket trans cooler?
Why would Chrysler say this isn't a manufacturer problem?
I think we need more information on this issue...

I don't believe the OP had a tranny cooler...it's just something other people thought might have been a potential preventative solution (which may or may not have fixed this).

I took your question as an after market cooler.

I'm trying to picture how the trans lines sprayed ATF all over the manifold and started a fire... typically trans lines attach to the radiator or an auxiliary cooler. I'm not familiar with the JK, I'm getting ready to buy a 2012.

That would make sense then... they replaced the trans lines and something went wrong during installation. Assuming all were factory parts...
I'm kinda of struggling why Chrysler would just walk away.. and the dealer isn't mentioned anywhere within this thread.
I've been a Jeep owner for 20 years.. 1991 XJ and 2010 SRT8.
I've had one recent issue with a dealer and a *new* defective factory replacement part.. there's a lot of finger pointing going on between the dealers and the factory primarily due to poor workmanship and getting reimbursed for parts and services rendered.
I had to prove my case on a simple thing as a new serpentine belt being defective and making noise straight out-of-the-box...
When you've been in bankruptcy, all hell breaks loose with supplier quality. GM has had similar problems with parts and suppliers.
Thx
