EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVING ON A 4 LANE ROADWAY AT 4 AM , SPEED WAS 55 MPH WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS FLASHED 4 TIMES AND THEN STAYED OFF. SINCE THIS FIRST OCCURENCE THIS HAS RANDOMLY HAPPENED. A MAINTENANCE VISIT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER IN MANASSAS, VA INDICATES A FAULTY TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER CONTROL MODULE (TIPM) FAILURE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROX 45MPH, THE JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE/JUMP UNCONTROLLABLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE TOOK IT INTO THE JEEP DEALER FROM WHOM WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. HE TIGHTENED THE TRACK BAR (??) AND REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. WE EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT WE WERE BEGINNING A CROSS COUNTRY TRIP, SO HE SHOULD CHECK EVERYTHING. A WEEK OR SO LATER, WE BEGAN THE TRIP FROM FLORIDA TO CALIFORNIA. TWO DAYS INTO THE TRIP (EAST TEXAS), WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WE EXPERIENCED THE SHAKE AGAIN. WE HAD TO TOP THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST JEEP DEALERSHIP, DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS AT MINIMAL SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS. THERE WERE ALREADY TWO JEEPS IN THE SHOP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND WHILE WE WERE THERE, ANOTHER PERSON CAME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WE THEN CONTINUED OUR TRIP. TWO DAYS LATER, IN CALIFORNIA, WE AGAIN EXPERIENCED THE SHAKE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AGAIN, WE TOOK THE CAR TO A JEEP DEALER WHO SAID WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER. WE TOLD HIM IT HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE. HE NOTED THAT THE STABILIZER THAT COMES AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT WITH THE JEEP IS NOT ROBUST ENOUGH AND THAT MOST JEEPS WILL EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM IF NOT UPGRADED. WE ALSO REPORTED THIS SEQUENCE OF EVENTS TO JEEP. WE HAVE SINCE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM IS KNOW AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AND SEEMS TO BE QUITE PREVALENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 16,000 MILES THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON. HAVE TAKEN TO CERTIFIED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY MODULE AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, INCLUDING EXTENDED WARRANTY. READING ONLINE COMMENTS DISCOVERING JEEP DID A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE UP TO MODEL YEAR 2008 AND ALSO RECALLED RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS BEYOND 2008 FOR THIS ISSUE. IN MY OPINION THE ONLY REASON THEY ARE NOT RECALLING THIS FOR POST 2008 JEEPS IS THERE ARE TOO MANY ON THE ROAD, OVER 300,000. I ALSO HAVE ISSUE WITH THE DEALER (STETLER YORK, PA) DIAGNOSING AT $95.00 THEN STATING THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART AND NEED TO ORDER IT, IT HAS BEEN 3 WEEKS NOW. ADDITIONALLY, THEY, DEALER COULD NOT TELL US IF THE AIRBAG WOULD OPERATE CORRECTLY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. ONE FINAL NOTE, THE DEALER STATED THIS IS COMMON FROM JEEPS ROUGH RIDE. EXCUSE ME, THEY PROCLAIM/ADVERTISE RUGGED READINESS. I HAVE NEVER OFF ROAD-ED THIS VEHICLE. I AM COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS CONDITION. I THINK JEEP SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. REGARDS, [XXX] [XXX] YORK, PA. [XXX] PH. [XXX] SENT FROM MY IPAD INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *JS

AIR BAGS, ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL BIG ISSUES WITH MY JEEP IN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF. FIRST MY BRAKE CALIPER AND PISTON WERE FROZEN DUE TO THE FLUIDS NOT FLOWING PROPERLY ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC. 2 WEEKS LATER MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE MY CLOCK SPRING AND THE THIRD ISSUE WAS MY ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON AND THEN MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY ALTERNATOR WHICH WAS FAULTY AND THEN DRAINED MY BATTERY WHICH I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE. THESE THREE ISSUES HAVE COST ME OVER $1000.00 DOLLARS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I WAS WONDERING IF ANY OF THEM ARE A ISSUE WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS BECOMING I SAFETY ISSUE IN MY EYES. ESPECIALLY MY BRAKES AND AIRBAG ISSUE. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS FLASHING ON AND OFF . IT WILL SOMETIMES COME ON WHEN ENGINE IS STARTED OR AFTER DRIVING A FEW SECONDS. IT GOES ON AND OFF TEN OR TWELVE SECONDS AT A TIME. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE WRANGLER WITH RIGHT HAND DRIVE FOR A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING. THE SAME PART IS MOST LIKELY IN THE LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES. THERE ARE PROBABLY MANY MORE LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES IN THE U.S. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHEN CROSSING A BUSY HIGHWAY THE SHIFTER/TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF GEAR WITH SUCH FORCE AS TO FEEL LIKE YOU WERE STRUCK FROM BEHIND. IT ALSO LEAVES YOU DEAD IN THE WATER SO TO SPEAK, WITH TRAFFIC COMING AT YOU. THIS WAS THE 1ST OF SEVERAL INCIDENTS LIKE THIS THAT HAS HAPPENED. THOUGH THESE INCIDENTS HAPPEN AT LOW SPEED THEY POSE THE THREAT OF INJURY OR DEATH FROM BEING STRUCK WHILE YOUR VEHICLE IS OUT OF GEAR. I REPORTED IT TO THE SELLING DEALER IT CAME FROM WHO REFERRED ME TO AMOCO TRANSMISSION TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT UNDER WARRANTY. AMMCO REFERRED ME TO GO TO A JEEP DEALER BECAUSE THERE IS A TSB CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. ONCE AGAIN I CONTACTED THE SELLING DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM TO SEE HOW THEY WANTED TO PROCEED. THEY CONTACTED THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT YES CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM BUT IT IS NOTHING THEY'RE FIXING UNDER WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE AND ARE GOING THROUGH WITH THEIR MANUAL TRANSMISSION EQUIPPED JEEP WRANGLERS. *TR

AIR BAGS
ON THE 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED (LHD) 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 MANY 2007 - 2010 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2010 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. *JS

AIR BAGS
MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WHERE DRIVING AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT WENT OFF AND A CHIME WAS AUDIBLE. NOW MY WIFE IS SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE FEAR OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYING WITH NO WARNING OR IF SHE IS IN A CRASH IT WON'T DEPLOY AT ALL. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ALL JEEPS FROM 2007-2011, I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE WILL NOT BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER. HOW ABOUT THE EXECUTIVES AT CHRYSLER PUT THERE FAMILY MEMBERS IN A VEHICLE WITH FAULTY AIR BAGS. I BET THE PROBLEM WOULD GET FIXED REAL QUICK! THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. THIS IS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER IS THAT IT IS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING IN STEERING COLUMN,RESULTING IN AIR BAG LIGHT ON IN THE DASH,THUS MAKING THE AIR BAG INOPERABLE!!!! EXTREME SAFETY CONCERN!!!!!! CHRYSLER RECALLED 2007 RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS, BUT FROM WHAT THE DEALER TOLD ME THE LEFT HAND DRIVE MODELS ARE THE SAME FAULTY PART..... SOMEBODY PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!!!! *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I FUEL MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER THE FUEL JUST OVERFLOWS AND SPEWS OUT OF THE TANK AS THOUGH THERE IS NO STOPPING. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY. THIS NOT ONLY POSSESSES AN EXTREME THREAT TO HUMAN LIFE BUT AN EXTREME THREAT TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE PROPERTY OF THE FUEL STATION OWNERS. I FEAR THAT THIS IS AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD AND IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE WITH FUEL EMERGING FROM THE TANK AND SPILLING ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS ON ALMOST ALL JEEP WRANGLERS FROM 2007-2011. BUT I GUESS PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FIRST BEFORE CHRYSLER WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I GO TO PUMP GAS TO FILL THE TANK UP COMPLETELY, THE PUMP DOES SENSE TO SHUT OFF BUT GAS COMES SPEWING OUT AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. IT IS VERY IRRITATING TO NOT BE ABLE TO FILL IT ENTIRELY, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE JEEP DRINKS GAS PRETTY FAST. NOTHING I CAN DO WILL STOP IT FROM RUNNING OVER, OTHER THAN JUST NOT FILLING IT 100%, WHICH SHOULDN'T EVEN BE AN ISSUE TO BEGIN WITH. I WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR THIS TO BE ADDRESSED. *JS

DRIVING ON ROAD WHEN JEEP VIOLENTLY SHAKES. LOSE CONTROL OVER STEERING AND ENTIRE FRONT END SHAKES. THIS IS KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER AND TRY NOT TO CRASH. GOT CONTROL OVER VEHICLE, PICKED UP SPEED AGAIN AND THE VIOLENT SHAKE HAPPENED AGAIN. DRIVING WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR ON A BUSY ROAD THIS IS VERY FRIGHTENING! *TR
