AIR BAGS
ON APPROXIMATELY 13 APRIL 2014, MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND OFF. TURNS OUT TO BE A BAD CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS WILL CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO FAIL TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT, HOW IS THIS NOT AGAIN A RECALL ISSUE. THEY DID EXTEND WARRANTY ON THIS ON THE 2007'S BUT NOT OTHER YEARS. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. TO ME THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE PEOPLE TO DIE IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. JUST DO A GOOGLE SEARCH UNDER JEEP JK WRANGLER BAD CLOCK SPRING OR AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AND YOU CAN EASILY SEE THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. THIS IS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TT

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A USED 2010 WRANGLER FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER ON 6/18/2013 WITH 19,XXX MILES AND AFTER ABOUT A MONTH OF DRIVING, THE GAS OVERFLOWS AT THE PUMP EVERY SINGLE TIME I TRY TO FILL THE TANK. AT FIRST, I SET THE PUMP TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AND UPON DOING SO, THE GAS CONTINUES TO COME OUT AFTER THE SHUT OFF AND IT SPEWS OUT ONTO THE PAINT, THE GROUND AND MY SHOES - EVERYWHERE. I HAVE TRIED FILLING UP AT DIFFERENT STATIONS AND AT DIFFERENT PUMPS BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. I'M LEFT NO OTHER CHOICE THAN TO NOT FILL UP FOR FEAR OF A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND OF SPILLS COSTING ME MONEY ON WASTED (EXPENSIVE) GAS. I'VE NOTICED THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE COMPLANTS AND I AM WONDERING WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE FOR THERE TO BE A PROPER RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS MANUFACTURING ERROR? *TT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS FUELING THE VEHICLE AND THE FUEL JUST OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE TANK AS THOUGH THERE IS NO STOP. AFTER THE FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE NECK OF THE GAS TANK. THE ISSUE WAS ONCE A RARE ISSUE BUT NOW OCCURS EVERY SINGLE TIME I FUEL THE VEHICLE. I FEAR THAT THIS MAY BE A FIRE HAZARD AND IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE WITH FUEL EMERGING FROM THE TANK. IT FIRST OCCURRED IN 2010 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW BUT IT WAS RARE. THE ISSUE NOW HAPPENS BI-WEEKLY AND HAS HAPPENED WEEKLY SINCE 2011. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED - FUEL OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. IF I FILL THE TANK TO THE AUTO SHUTOFF POINT A FAIR AMOUNT OF FUEL PUKES OUT AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD, AND NOT VERY GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. IT HAPPENS AT EVERY GAS STATION - THE ONLY WORK AROUND IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK. *TR

AIR BAGS
DRIVING ON SIDE ROAD MADE LEFT TURN AND HEARD AUDIBLE CHIME LIKE SEAT BELT WARNING. LOOKED AT DASH AND SEE AIRBAG WARNING LIT UP. TAKE TO DEALER AS WELL AS SEEK INFORMATION ON INTERNET. FIND MULTIPLE ISSUES FOR CLOCK SPRING SIGNAL FAILURE. THERE IS ONLY A TSB ISSUED FOR THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE WRANGLERS FROM 2007-2011. THE PART # IS IDENTICAL FOR RIGHT AND LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES. HOW CAN THE RECALL ONLY AFFECT THE RHD? 5440 CARS WERE SUBJECT TO RECALL. HOW MANY LHD WRANGLERS ARE THERE? I NOW HAVE TO PAY $500 +++ TO HAVE A REPAIR DONE THAT MUST BE DONE BY A DEALER. THIS NEEDS EQUAL TREATMENT TO CHRYSLER RECALL M31. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS PUMP DOES NOT SHUTOFF WHEN FILLING GAS TANK DURING INITIAL FILL (I DO NOT TOPOFF). THIS RESULTS IN FUEL SPILLING ALL OVER CAP, LEFT REAR BUMPER, SHOES AND GROUND. HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT STATIONS AND DIFFERENT PUMPS. IS NOT INTERMITTENT - HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THIS IS TO GUESS ON NUMBER OF GALLONS REQUIRED AND MANUALLY SHUTOFF PUMP WHEN THAT VALUE IS REACHED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE FUEL PUMPS DO NOT SHUT OFF AND FUEL SPILLS OUT. THE VEHICLE IS ALLOWED TO BE OVERFILLED. THE GAS TANK NEEDS TO FORCE THE GAS PUMPS TO STOP WHEN FULL. FUEL ON MOST OCCASIONS SPLASHES AND SPILLS ON THE PERSON FUELING THE VEHICLE. THIS CREATES SAFELY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. A FIRE IS WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

STEERING
I PURCHASED A USED 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED ON JULY 11, 2013. IT HAD JUST UNDER 10K MILES ON IT. WITHIN THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF DRIVING IT, I HEAR AND FEEL A THUMP IN THE STEERING, WHILE DRIVING. IT IS NOT A NORMAL NOISE FROM SUSPENSION WORKING. THE ISSUE HAS GONE ON AND ON. LATER AT ABOUT 18K MILES, I BEGAN HAVING DEATH WOBBLE ISSUES. I HAVE HAD IT TO 2 SHOPS AND INSPECTED THINGS MYSELF. BALL JOINTS, WHEEL BEARINGS, TIE RODS/ENDS, STEERING STABILIZER, YOU NAME IT. I FINALLY AFTER SEVERAL SCARY EVENTS, AND CONTINUALLY HAVING SHOPS TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, HAVE FOUND THE ISSUE. WITH 25K MILES, I AM HAVING TO HAVE THE STEERING GEAR BOX REPLACED. THE SECTOR SHAFT IS SHOT. THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER, SO UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE NO OPTION BUT TO DRIVE IT AND HOPE I MAKE IT TO AND FROM SAFELY, AS WELL AS THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I BELIEVE AFTER A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE JEEP FORUMS, THAT JEEP HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR BOX, AND THAT IT IS ONE OF THE COMMON CAUSES OF DEATH WOBBLE IN THE JK MODELS. I AM TAKING MINE IN TOMORROW TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I HAVE ONLY 25K MILES ON IT, BUT IT IS 4YRS OLD. SO, I AM SURE I WILL END UP STUCK WITH THE BILL ON THIS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING UP AT THE GAS PUMPS, IF YOU PUT THE PUMP ON AUTO, THE PUMP HANDLE WILL SHUTOFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, BUT SPEWS ABOUT A HALF GALLON OF FUEL BACK UP AND OUT ON THE VEHICLE AND YOUR HAND (IF ON THE PUMP HANDLE). DOES IT EVERY TIME. ONLY WORK AROUND I HAVE COME UP WITH IS TO FUEL UP, CLOSE TO FULL, THEN SLOWLY FEATHER UP TO FULL, OR ON LOWEST PUMP SETTING. OTHERWISE YOU HAVE FUEL DUMPING OUT ALL OVER, WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE A 2010 JEEP JK UNLIMITED 4X4. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED FROM A LOCAL DEALER IN JULY OF 2013, WITH APPROX. 10K MILES ON IT. AT ABOUT 18K MILES, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE COMMON DREADED "DEATH WOBBLE". I WAS DRIVING DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEATS. ALL OF A SUDDEN, WHILE HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN RAPIDLY MOVING BACK AND FORTH AND THE FRONTEND OF THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I QUICKLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE, CHECKED ON MY NOW FRIGHTENED CHILDREN, THEN GO OUT TO EXAMINE MY VEHICLE. I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING OBVIOUS, LIKE TIE RODS OR BALL JOINTS. SO, I SLOWLY DROVE HOME. I WENT OVER THE ENTIRE FRONT END. COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. AFTER READING A LOT OF FORUMS ON THE MATTER, I FOUND I AM ONE OF MANY JEEP OWNERS THAT HAVE/ARE FIGHTING THIS SAME ISSUE. I WENT AHEAD AND PUT ON A NEW STEERING STABILIZER, AND TRACKBARS, AS THESE ARE CLAIMED TO BE THE MOST COMMON ISSUES (EVEN THOUGH MINE LOOKED FINE AND HAD NO PLAY). I CONTINUALLY HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD IT TO SHOP FOR AN ALIGNMENT, TIRE ROTATIONS, AND CHECKING THE BALANCING ON THE TIRES. THE SHOP SAID TIRES AND ALIGNMENT WERE FINE. WE FOUND THAT THERE WAS SOME PLAY IN THE SECTOR SHAFT WHERE THE PITMAN ARM CONNECTS TO THE STEERING GEARBOX. SOME GUYS ARE SAYING THEY HAVE REPLACED THEIRS 3 TIMES IN 30K MILES. I DON'T OFFROAD, MY VEHICLE ISN'T EXPOSED TO HARSH CONDITIONS, WHERE ONE COULD EXPECT MECHANICAL FAILURES. I CURRENTLY HAVE 26K MILES ON MINE, AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND OUT THE CAUSE, MEANWHILE THROWING $$ AND PARTS ON IT TO TRY AND FIND THE ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING AND SEEING THE LARGE AMOUNT OF OWNERS FIGHTING DEATH WOBBLE AND THE COMPONENT FAILURES WHICH CAUSE IT, I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO SOME LEVEL. I THINK THEY SHOULD BE RECOGNIZING THE PROBLEM AND THE LARGE SCALE OF IT, AND OFFERING SOME TYPE OF SOLUTION TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING, WHEELS
THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGHER RATER OF SPEED (ANYTHING ABOVE 45MPH) AND GOING AROUND A CURVE, THE FRONT END BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE TO THE POINT THAT IT IS DIFFICULT/IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL AND YOU MUST PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AKA THE DEATH WOBBLE. THERE WAS NOT A POT HOLE, OR ANYTHING IN THE WAY, JUST A REGULAR ROAD. I HAVE HAD TO DO THIS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND ON BUSY HIGHWAYS, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND BEING REAR ENDED SINCE I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE TAKE IT IN A NUMBER OF TIMES WITH THIS PROBLEM AND NO SOLUTION IS FOUND, THEY JUST KEEP WANTING TO ROTATE MY TIRES. *TR
