FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
When trying to fill up with gas, the automatic shut off on the nozzle will go off, to the point where when trying to fill up you end up spilling gas on yourself or out of the car, happens every time, all the time and is a known issue for Jeep Jk's. A recall was posted for two of the eleven years. When I spoke to the dealer, they wanted to do a smoke test, because they had never heard of this issue even though there is a service bulletin that I had to personally find. Dealer seems to just want money. I think spilling gas every time I fill up is a major safety concern.

SUSPENSION
The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while her son was driving 60 MPH, he experienced what was commonly known as the "death wobble"; where the vehicle would shake uncontrollably without warning until the vehicle slowed down and resumed normal operation. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer where they were initially unable to diagnose the failure. After a technician test drove the vehicle and successfully duplicated the failure, the dealer diagnosed that the steering damper and the driver’s side front wheel bearing needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and denied any knowledge of the "death wobble". The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer and had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VISIBILITY/WIPER
I have a blank instrument cluster, my lights are on and wipers run constantly. No warning before this happened. I cannot turn wipers off or control lights. No safety at night with no interior lights and not to mention. I cannot know how much fuel I have. I have found from research that many Jeep Wrangler owners have the same issue from reading forums. I can disconnect the negative battery cable and it temporarily resets then reverts to the same problem. I have also checked the multifunction switch as I was told could be causing the issue and this is not the case because the issue is still there when the switch was unplugged. I then checked the instrument cluster . Unplugged and plugged back in with only a momentary reset and then back where I started. This is not safe and very frustrating when I know there are Many people with the same issue.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE JEEP KNOWS ABOUT A TIPM ISSUE BUT WILL NOT FIX IT. TIPM issue. This issue is common and described across the web but is a safety hazard! The headlights will flash 3-5 times then completely shut off. Restarting the Jeep and disconnecting the battery does not help. Jeep dealer says circuit in the TIPM is the issue and that this is common! Lordy have mercy for all the vecs on the road when my headlights started flashing at them and then went out on, of course, an unlit section of the road. But the crazier part is Jeep knew this could happen and doesn't warn the customers. I sure did not know that I might be driving blind at night becoming a safety hazard. The lights then decide to not work for a few days before going back to being reliable for anywhere from weeks to months until you happen to drive at night again and bam they go out again. Luckily the runner/ fog lights are unaffected but as a primary vehicle I can not just keep taking ubers every time it is dark outside! This is such a serious safety issue to loose your lights while driving! There are two common fixes for this. One you buy the TIPM or two you buy non stock headlights and reroute them to your own switch but for most of us, buying a part that Jeep knows will break is crazy and not practical (plus WE the consumer didn't know it would) and the alternative of having to buy a different company's lights to buy pass the wiring in just crazy. It is such a serious issue I do not understand why there is no recall! I'm also so unsure if I can even pass a safety inspection anymore. Also the automatic fuel stopper does not work which is ANOTHER know glitch with the TIPM. This is okay if you know about it because you can hold the handle the whole time while filling up but you can not trust it alone. It isn't like it is all the time either. Just enough to keep you on your toes and plosion the ground with spillage. The first time is scary though.

THIS TRANSMISSION HAD A RECALL IN ITS EARLY DAYS WHERE IT WOULDN'T GO INTO PARK AND PEOPLE WERE CRASHING THEY FIXED THAT BUT EVER SINCE THIS TRANSMISSION CAME OUT ACCORDING TO GOOGLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL SPILLS OUT OF GAS TANK FILLER TUBE ONTO SIDE OF JEEP AND ONTO GROUND EVERY TIME FILL UP TANK. WIFE NORMALLY DRIVES JEEP AND DIDN'T TELL ME WHEN THIS STARTED HAPPENING, BUT I THINK HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR MORE THAN A YEAR BUT SHE DIDN'T INVESTIGATE IT ONLINE OR REPORT IT TO YOUR STAFF. THEN SHE WENT OUT OF TOWN FEW DAYS AGO AND WHEN I FILLED TANK ON 10/19/20 IT OVERFLOWED A VERY NOTICEABLE AMOUNT OF GAS ONTO SIDE OF JEEP WHEN USING AUTOMATIC PUMP SHUTOFF NOZZLE AT COSTCO. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATED FCA WAS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT IN 2007-2008 JEEP WRANGLERS AND TSB ISSUED IN 2011 TO COVER FREE REPAIR OF VALVE, BUT ALTHOUGH THIS IS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM, COULD NOT FIND RECALL OR TSB FOR 2010 JEEP WRANGLERS. QUICK CHECK ONLINE INDICATES MANY OTHERS WITH JEEP WRANGLERS BUILT AFTER 2008 HAVING EXACT SAME PROBLEM. NEVER HAD A VEHICLE DO THIS BEFORE, BUT IT IS A SERIOUS DEFECT AND SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE UNDER A RECALL OR TSB, AS WAS DONE WITH THE 2007/2008 JEEPS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED AND MORE INFO.*DT CONSUMER STATED HIS WIFE TOLD HIM IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.*JB
