NHTSA Complaint #10788312 — 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X RHD 4X4

IN FEB 2015 MY 07 JEEP WRANGLER STARTED MAKING ODD NOISES AND RUNNING POORLY THAN IS STOPPED. MY JEEP HAD 69,500 MILES ON IT AND A SERVICE WAS DONE WITHIN 1,500 MILES. IT WAS TOWED TO THE SERVICE CENTER- IT DID NOT HAVE A DROP OF OIL IN IT AND THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A OIL LEAK ANYWHERE! NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON EITHER. JEEP REFUSED TO EVEN LISTEN OR ASSIST IN ANY WAY. $6K LATER...... I HAVE A NEW ENGINE AND CHECK IT EVERY WEEK! NOW WHEN I PARK AND GET BACK IN THE JEEP IT WONT START- WONT EVEN TURN OVER. IT WILL FINALLY START AFTER 4-5 TURNS OF THE KEY. ITS NOT HEAT, NOT DISTANCE, NOTHING BEING LEFT ON, NOT CONSISTENT- THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AT ALL!! A MAN IN A GAS STATION HEARD ME TRYING TO START THE JEEP AND CAME OVER AND SHARED THIS- PUSH ON THE SHIFTER REALLY HARD AND IT WILL START- IT DID AND HAS EVERY TIME NOW. WHEN I STOP I JUST MAKE SURE I PUSH ON THE SHIFTER. THERE IS NO RECALL AND NO SERVICE BULLETIN BUT IS NORMAL IN THE 07 IT APPEARS.
