LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
MY JEEP VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A DANGEROUS DEFECT COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS HOOD LIFT, HOOD FLUTTERING OR WIND BUFFETING. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN ENCOUNTERING AN ONCOMING VEHICLE, A HEADWIND OR CROSSWIND, THE VEHICLE'S HOOD WILL RAPIDLY LIFT AND DROP UP TO 2 INCHES AT A TIME UNTIL THE TURBULENCE HAS PASSED. CHRYSLER / JEEP HAS ALWAYS CALLED THIS A "CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE". WHEN THIS EVENT OCCURS THE DRIVER'S VISION IS DANGEROUSLY DIVERTED FROM A LONG VIEW OF THE ROAD AHEAD TO ONE OF FIXATING ON THE HOOD MOVEMENT ITSELF. OF INTEREST IS THE FACT THAT JEEP WRANGLERS SOLD INTO THE EUROPEAN MARKET REQUIRE A HOOD LOCK THAT IS REPORTED TO FIX THIS DEFECT (JEEP PART 8221046AB). IT IS MY BELIEF THAT TO CURE THIS PROBLEM IN THE US MARKET, JEEP SHOULD OFFER THIS SAME PART AT NO COST TO OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCE THIS DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X 4X4, WENT IN FOR SERVICE AT 30,000 MILES AND WAS TOLD MY REAR BRAKES WERE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED, I TOLD THE DEALER I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE REAR BRAKES WENT OUT BEFORE THE FRONT ONES, IN ALL MY DRIVING HISTORY NEVER HAS THE REAR BRAKES GONE BAD SO SOON AND BEFORE THE FRONT ONES, I TO WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL FOR MY VEHICLE AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES AT MY COST CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COVER BRAKES, I HAD SOMEONE ELSE LOOK AT THE BRAKES FIRST JUST TO CONFIRM I NEEDED THE BRAKES AS AGAIN I FELT IT WAS WAY TOO SOON FOR THEM TO GO BAD, IT WAS CONFIRMED I NEEDED THE BRAKES. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AS I HAVE READ OTHER ISSUES OF THE SAME AS MINE, I DON'T FEEL SO BAD ABOUT THE ISSUE AND I KNOW THAT I DID NOT WEAR THEM OUT IN MY DRIVING HABITS SEEING ALL THESE OTHER SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE EXCESSIVELY AND LOSE POWER ABNORMALLY WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF EVERY WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST CONCLUDING THAT THE PCM HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ON A LATER DATE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE 15 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED AN UNUSUAL BURNING OR SMOKE ODOR AS THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PCM FAILED A SECOND TIME AND BLOWN A FUSE. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE CONTACT HAD ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR TWO DAYS HE WANTED A REPLACEMENT BUT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 184 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 172.

STEERING
I BOUGHT A JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA FROM CARMAX. THE CAR IS FINE DRIVES FINE BUT AT 50 MPH IF YOU HIT A BUMP THE FRONT END BEGINS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND CONTROL OF THE CAR IS LOST UNLESS YOU SLOWLY APPLY THE BRAKES AND STOP THE CAR. IT HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 50 MPH. I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND WE ALMOST HIT THREE OTHER CARS WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. I WILL NOT RIDE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR AGAIN AND I FEAR OTHER 2008 WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITEDS ON THE ROAD. THIS IS MUCH WORSE THAN ANY TOYOTA ISSUE. THE VEHICLE IS A LOADED .45 WITH THE SAFETY OFF AND THE KIDS ARE PLAYING WITH IT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OR A PRODUCTION STOPPAGE, CARS LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT BE BUILT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, AND ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS, OFTEN SPRAYING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN IT WAS NEW, BUT HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON, GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. I BELIEVE THIS PRESENTS BOTH A FIRE HAZARD AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD, AND I KNOW THAT MANY OTHER WRANGLER OWNERS HAVE OBSERVED THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2010 JEEP JK WRANGLER TRANSMISSION OIL OVERHEATS WHEN VEHICLE IS ENGAGED IN 4WD. THIS COULD CAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, PARTICULARLY ON MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN WHERE THE POSSIBILITY OF A FATALITY COULD OCCUR. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A RECALL NOTING THAT THIS CONDITION COULD OCCUR. THE "FIX" IS AN AUDIBLE CHIME IN ADDITION TO THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INSTEAD OF ADDRESSING THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM SUCH AS THE ADDITION OF A LARGER OIL COOLER, OIL PAN WITH LARGER CAPACITY TO KEEP OIL COOLER, OR SOME OTHER REPAIR.*TR

STEERING
MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON, WITH 77K MILES HAS BEEN BACK TO THE SHOP GOING ON IT'S 4TH TIME, I HAVE QUESTIONED 3 CINCY DEALERS, THE FACTORY & THEY ALL IGNORE THE "DEATH WOBBLE", I FINALLY GOT THE PARTS MANAGER AT WYLER DEALERSHIP IN CINTI, OHIO TODAY, TO SAY "YES, WE DID GET A TECHNICAL ALERT ABOUT THE TRACK BAR", SO WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE DEALER PARTS, THIS IS AFTER, I HAVE TRIED 2 OTHER HEAVIER DUTY UNITS, THIS DEALER PART IS NOT WORKING, I AM NOW TRYING THE $380 KIT FROM A SHOP IN ARIZONA THAT CLAIMS TO HAVE THE FIX, WISH ME LUCK, BEFORE I HAVE A WRECK. THIS IS ABSURD TO READ & SEE SO MUCH ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER IS IGNORING IT, MY NEXT STEP IS MY LOCAL TV STATION & TALK RADIO. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE TO BE MADE, NOT TO MENTION HARD EARNED DOLLARS SPENT & SOMEONE BEING IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THEY PAY ATTENTION...NOW HAVING THIS DEALERSHIP TELL ME A "TECHNICAL ALERT" IS DIFFERENT THAN A RECALL? MAKES ME EVEN MADDER...THEY ARE JUST ON A "FIX AS NEEDED BASIS?", SO ANYONE OUT OF WARRANTY HAS TO PAY FOR THE WHOLE FIX? WOW WHERE HAS ACCOUNTABILITY GONE? *TR

GAS TANK OVERFILL. WHEN FUELING, AFTER THE GAS STATION PUMP CLICKS OFF, LARGE VOLUMES OF GASOLINE ARE EJECTED FROM THE GAS TANK ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ONTO THE PUMP HANDLE ITSELF, AND ONTO THE PERSON DOING THE FUELING (ME). AGAIN, THIS HAPPENS *AFTER* THE GAS PUMP CLICKS ITSELF OFF.
