Known issues on the 2005 Wrangler. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year: a hydraulic service-brake fault in which a loss of brake fluid can reduce brake line pressure and increase stopping distance, and an automatic transmission condition that can let the vehicle roll away and cause a crash if the parking brake is not applied. Owners have filed 756 complaints and Jeep has issued 35 technical service bulletins for the year.
From a routine service interval to a hard-to-trace electrical fault, it keeps you on the correct procedure for your specific 2005 Wrangler.
