AIR BAGS
ON MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MY 2010 AND MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLER (JK VERSION) OWNERS. THE CAUSE OF THIS LIGHT HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. JEEP HAS HAD CLOCKSPRING RECALLS PREVIOUSLY WITH THEIR 2007 WRANGLERS, BUT THIS RECALL HAS NOT BEEN EXTENDED TO THE 2008- VERSIONS. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO VOLUNTARILY ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
GASOLINE OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE FILLER WHILE ADDING FUEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS FROM INDIANA TO FLORIDA. FUEL OVERFLOWS NO MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW I FILL THE TANK AND IF I ALLOW THE PUMP TO AUTO SHUT OFF OR I FILL BY HAND. I HAVE ATTACHED A PHOTO OF ANOTHER JEEP WRANGLER DOING THE SAME THING AS MINE.

AIR BAGS
MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF EVERY MINUTE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT GET LOOKED AT AND THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A CLOCK-SPRING ISSUE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SELECTED JEEP MODELS FROM 2007 TO 2012 HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. WHEN I CONTACTED CRYSTLER ON THIS ISSUE THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY JEEP IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER JEEPS. IT IS GOING TO COST ABOUT $700.00 OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS ISSUE ON MY JEEP.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER JK WITH GAS, IT SPITS GAS BACK OUT OF THE FILL UP NECK TUBE. WHEN I GET HOME AND PARK IT IN THE GARAGE IT FILLS THE ENTIRE HOUSE UP WITH GAS ODOR. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR HEALTH AS THIS COULD NOT BE SAFE. JUST A SIDE NOTE, I AM ALSO CONCERNED WHAT THIS WILL DO TO MY NICE PAINT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS VERY GOOD AND HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER CASES IDENTICAL TO MINE AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS ADDRESSED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ALMOST TWO YEARS DECEMBER. AFTER HAVING THIS VEHICLE AROUND 7 MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS, WE TOOK IT TO KING EXPRESSLUBE TO HAVE OIL CHANGED, IN WHICH, THE WRONG OIL FILTER WAS PUT ON VEHICLE RESULTING IN A BLOWN ENGINE. KING EXPRESSLUBE PAIR THE ENTIRE COST OF THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTH POINT JEEP. EVERY SINCE ENGINE WAS REPLACED, WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR NOT CRANKING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THEM SAYING, " WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG". WAS ADVISED TO CARRY A " HAMMER" TO TAP UNDER STARTER TO " SEE IF IT WILL CRANK" . SO IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN TWO WEEKS AGO WHICH THEY HAD THE VEHICLE TWO DAYS AND WAS RETURNED STATING THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG! WOULD NOT CRANK AGAIN TODAY AND THEY FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING! SAID THAT IT WAS THE TIPM, OF COURSE THAT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WILL COST US 900.00 TO REPLACE PART! THIS HAS BEEN VERY TACKY BUSINESS PRACTICE SINCE I HAVE READ TODAY THAT CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN THIS IS A FAULTY PART AND UNWILLING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES! I AM VERY UPSET THAT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP IN ANY WAY! THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY STORY! SHANNON H

RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2010 JEEP WRANGLER EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK GAS IT SPITS OUT ON AUTO SHUT OFF AND IS LIKE A GEYSER WHEN I REMOVE THE PUMP. GAS GOES ALL OVER MY HAND AND CLOTHES. I NOTE THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF THIS. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. THERE WERE > 900 COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS IN 2010-11. WHY WON'T CHRYSLER FIX THIS PROBLEM?

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN MY LEFT-HAND DRIVE JEEP WRANGLER. THE JEEP WRANGLER ALREADY HAS A RECALL FOR RIGHT-HAND DRIVE MODELS ADDRESSING BROKEN AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLIES. RECALL NUMBER: 13V176000 IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH NECESSITATING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, A BROKEN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT IN THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING WIRING ASSEMBLY CAN LEAD TO NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER-SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROPERLY PROTECT THE DRIVER, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURIES. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK IN THE JEEP WRANGLER. I RECEIVED THE WARNING LIGHT WHILE THE JEEP WAS IN MOTION, AND LUCKILY I WAS NEAR A JEEP DEALERSHIP (BILL BRYAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP, FRUITLAND PARK, FL 34731) WHERE I HAD THE BROKEN AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $500.
