TAKATA RECALL TOOK MY CAR IN TO JEEP (SANTA MONICA) ON THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 1ST. DID NOT MENTION THE RECALL. TRIED TO TRADE CAR IN ON SUNDAY TO TOYOTA, WAS TOLD ABOUT THE RECALL. WENT BACK TO JEEP ON TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 6TH. THE CLOCKSPRING ISSUE WAS TAKEN CARE OF, HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL. RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR OVER TWO MONTHS AND HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. IT IS NOT ONLY AN INCONVENIENCE FOR SOMEONE WHO NEEDS TO TRADE THEIR CAR FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE, BUT IT IS A DANGER TO MYSELF EVERY TIME I STEP INTO MY CAR. I NOW CAN NOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE TAKE ANOTHER PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME, WHICH IS CAUSING A DISTURBANCE TO MY LIFE AND MY WORK. JEEP CONTINUES TO REFUSE TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG, REPLACE THE CAR, OR REFUND MY PURCHASE PRICE MINUS DEPRECIATION.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I ALMOST HAD FATAL CRASH WITH MY CHILDREN BECAUSE OF 'DEATH WOBBLE'. IT'S NOT FUNNY & JEEP NEEDS TO BE SUED FOR REFUSING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE! OVER 50 TIMES WHEN TRAVELING 65 MPH THE VEHICLES SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY FORCING ME TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY. WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS!!!

ENGINE
JEEP VIOLENTLY POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE L. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. FROM DOING RESEARCH ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE WHO OWN THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION JEEP MODEL. THIS CAN BE EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS WHEN GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS OR CHANGING LANES AS THE JEEP WILL POP OUT IF GEAR AND NO LONGER ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE DAY ONE OF ME PURCHASING IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AS SOON AS I TURN THE CAR OVER, MY DASH LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS COME ON. THE HEADLIGHT STALK AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPER STALK ARE INOPERABLE. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE MY CAR. AND AFTER RESEARCHING THROUGH MULTIPLE FORUMS AND SITES ONLINE, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM, WITH A NON-STANDARD RESOLUTION. NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THE HOURS I'M GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND GETTING THIS ADDRESSED. I WAS DRIVING 8/14 WHEN I NOTICED THE ISSUES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STRONG SMELL OF GAS IN THE GARAGE AFTER SHUTTING JEEP OFF FOR PAST 3-4 YEARS. FUEL SPIT ISSUE RESOLVED WITH WARRANTY 12/2013. GAS SMELL AFTER SHUTTING JEEP OFF CONTINUED. 09/2014 DEALERSHIP PULLED CODE P0456, "VENT TUBE AT TANK BROKEN." PAID TO HAVE DEALERSHIP ORDER AND INSTALL A NEW TANK ONLY TO FIND THE "NEW TANK HAS CRACK AT ROLLOVER VALVE," HAD TO ORDER A SECOND REPLACEMENT FUEL TANK, INSTALLED WITH NO PROBLEMS NOTED. HEAVY SMELL OF RESIDUAL FUEL IN THE GARAGE CONTINUED TO PERSIST TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE TO LEAVE THE GARAGE OPEN TO VENT THE FUMES FOR FEAR OF IGNITION. COULD NOT VISUALLY IDENTIFY ANY FUEL LEAK. ALL THE WHILE HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COMING OFF AND ON POINTING TO EMISSIONS AND FUEL SYSTEM. ANOTHER TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP 07/2015, PULLED CODE P0406, STATED "COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AT THIS TIME." HEAVY GAS SMELL CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. 07/2016 TOOK JEEP TO MECHANIC, PULLED CODES P0456 AND P0486, FOUND THE FUEL TANK VENT TUBE WAS CRACKED AGAIN, NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK AND EGR VALVE. BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. TANK IS OUT OF WARRANTY, HAVE TO REPLACE THE 22 MONTH OLD FUEL TANK AGAIN. THE FUEL SYSTEM HAS HAD CONSISTENT PROBLEMS FROM INCEPTION. THE HEAVY GAS ODOR AND CRACKED FUEL TANKS POSE A SERIOUS LIFE SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A VEHICLE AND/OR A RESIDENCE CATCHES FIRE. THE CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE TO GAS VAPORS ALONE IS SERIOUS CONCERN DUE TO THE CARCINOGENIC NATURE OF FUEL AND ITS VAPORS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IN VARIOUS JEEP FORUMS ONLINE, THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A SINGULAR EVENT AND IS ACTUALLY QUITE COMMON. MANY JEEP ENTHUSIASTS ARE DIY'ERS AND ARE MODIFYING/JURY RIGGING THE VENT TUBE THEMSELVES INSTEAD OF PAYING FOR A REPLACEMENT TANK, WHICH MEANS THERE ARE A LOT OF JEEPS CAUSING HEIGHTENED EMISSIONS AND POSE FURTHER SAFETY CONCERNS THAT ARE GOING UNREPORTED AND THAT YOU ARE UNAWARE OF.
