STEERING
ON SUNDAY , OCTOBER 10,2010, MY HUSBAND AND 16 3/4 YR OLD SON DROVE TO LONG ISLAND, NY FROM OUR HOME IN NJ IN OUR 2007 FOUR DOOR JEEP , JUST AS HE WAS GETTING ON SOUTHERN STATE PARKWAY ,GOING 60-65, THE JEEP SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY. HE THOUGHT THE WHEELS WERE COMING OFF. IT TOOK ALL HE HAD TO CONTROL THE CAR . HE PULLED OVER, JEEP LOOKED FINE AND HE DROVE 50 REMAINDER OF WAY AND THEN HOME. WE WENT TO JEEP DEALERSHIP ( WORLD JEEP SHREWSBURY NJ) THE FOLLOWING DAY TO GET AN APPOINTMENT FOR IT. TO OUR ASTONISHMENT THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT WHAT HE EXPERIENCED WAS CALLED THE "DEATH SHAKE" OR "DEATH WOBBLE" ... WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL 10/13/10. I ARRIVED HOME AND GOOGLED "JEEP DEATH SHAKE " AND CAME UPON PAGES AND PAGES OF OTHER CONSUMERS DESCRIBING AND COMPLAINING OF THE SAME SCENARIO. HTTP://WWW.WRANGLERFORUM.COM/F12/JEEP-DEATH-WOBBLE-62728.HTML THE JEEP ON WEDNESDAY 10/13/10 WAS REPAIRED: THE JEEP HAD TO HAVE ITS "STEERING DAMPENER REMOVED AND REPLACED DUE TO A LEAKING WHEEL SHAKE" WORLD AUTO GROUP SHREWSBURY DID THE REPAIR FOR A "GOOD WILL $50 DEDUCTIBLE" THIS WAS BECAUSE I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND COMPLAINED. WE ARE VERY UPSET BECAUSE OUR SON COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING THAT CAR. HE GETS HIS OFFICIAL LICENSE IN DECEMBER . HAD HE BEEN DRIVING ,MY HUSBAND FEELS HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. HE THINKS IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN EVEN DIFFICULT FOR ME. THIS SITUATION IS DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET, THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE BECAUSE THEY TOLD US IT WAS CALLED THE DEATH SHAKE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!! *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I ACQUIRED MY JEEP WRANGLER (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) IN JANUARY OF 2007, SHORTLY THEREAFTER IT STARTED POPPING OUT OF 1ST GEAR. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH, IT HAS PROGRESSED TO A POINT WHERE IT WAS DOING IT 4-6 TIMES PER DAY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT I WAS NOT ENGAGING IT PROPERLY, BUT I'VE SUBSEQUENTLY TRIED TO HOLD IT IN 1ST GEAR AND IT FORCES ITSELF OUT OF GEAR SO HARD THAT IT ALMOST BROKE MY WRIST. I'VE NOTICED THAT IT POPS OUT MORE UPON LOW TO MEDIUM ACCELERATION. LAST MONTH, I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE A RIGHT HAD TURN. AS I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE THE TURN FROM A STOPPED POSITION, UPON MODERATE ACCELERATION, THE TRANSMISSION POPPED OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND LEFT ME STALLED IN NEUTRAL IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE BEHIND WAS ABLE TO SKID AND BARELY HIT MY SLOWED VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT MY WIFE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS SHE FELT IT WAS TWO DANGEROUS. I WAS NOW CONVINCED THAT THIS CONDITION WAS VERY UNSAFE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE (@49,500 MILES) TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP UPDATED THE 1-2 SYNCHRONIZER ASSEMBLY WITH STRONGER DETENT SPRINGS PURSUANT TO THE CHRYSLER/JEEP TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 21-001-10 THAT WAS ISSUED ON MARCH 2, 2010. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO INVESTIGATE THIS DEFECT IN ORDER TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ADDITIONAL VEHICLE OWNERS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (JK), AND ALLOWING THE FUEL PUMP TO AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF WHEN THE GAS TANK REACHES THE FULL LEVEL, FUEL WILL OFTEN OVERFLOW OUT OF THE FILL PORT. MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT THE PUMP IS NOT TURNED OFF SOON ENOUGH, LEADING TO AN OVERFLOW SITUATION. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION OIL IS OVERHEATING WHILE CLIMBING STEEP GRADES AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND ALSO WHEN DRIVING OFF ROAD AND UP HILLS AT SLOW SPEED. HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY CREATING HAZARD. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY CHRYSLER JEEP WRANGLER JK MODELS HAVE NOTED THIS PROBLEM. MANY HAVE REPORTED THAT TRANSMISSION CAN START FIRE. PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED WITH EXTERNAL TRANSMISSION COOLER BUT MAY VOID WARRANTY. I HAVE JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ONLY TWO MONTHS AGO AND SINCE FOUND ALL THIS OUT. CHRYSLER HAS APPARENTLY ADDED A "HOT OIL" LIGHT AS RESOLUTION BUT THIS SEEMS INEFFECTIVE AND DOES NOT ACTUALLY CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SEEKING GUIDANCE AND RESOLUTION. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
1997 JEEP WRANGLER TJ SAHARA - FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN TRYING TO FILL UP THE TANK. HAS HAPPENED MORE TIMES THEN I CAN COUNT. THIS IS DANGEROUS IN THE ASPECT THAT GAS LEAKS ALL OVER THE REAR LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, SPLASHES ON THE TIRE AND POOLS ON THE GROUND. NOT ONLY IS IT DANGEROUS BUT IT IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD AS WELL. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AS MY RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH JEEP YEARS 97-01 AND UP. THIS SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD PROVIDE A FIX AS THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT.. *TR

SEAT BELTS
UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS OR EVEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS AT A COMPLETE STOP THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT WILL LOCK UP. IF THE FRONT PASSENGER (MY WIFE) SITS BACK THE BELT WILL ONLY TIGHTEN. THE ONLY WAY FOR THE SEAT BELT TO RELEASE AND BE WORN PROPERLY AGAIN IS THE BELT MUST BE REMOVED AND PUT INTO A REST POSITION. THERE IS NO BRAKING AND HARD TURNS OR ACCELERATION BEING DONE AT ANYTIME THAT THIS HAPPENS. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES I AM ONLY TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM CAN NOT BE REPRODUCED AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND USUALLY WHILE WE ARE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. NOT A GOOD TIME TO HAVE TO REMOVE THE SEAT BELT IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK PROPERLY AGAIN. NOTE; THERE IS NO SUDDEN MOVEMENTS BEING DONE BY PASSENGER. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE BETTER PART OF TWO YEARS NOW. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DURING FUELING OF A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED, WHEN THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY STOPS THE FLOW OF GASOLINE AS THE FUEL TANK FILLS, FUEL SURGES BACK THROUGH THE FILLER TUBE AND VIGOROUSLY SPLASHES OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ANYTHING OR PERSON WITHIN 2 TO 3 FEET OF THE FUEL FILLER. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED AND HAS DRENCHED THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE FROM THE WAIST DOWN WITH GASOLINE ON TWO OCCASIONS. HAS SPILLED FUEL ON EVERY FILLUP (AT LEAST ONE CUP), DESPITE PRECAUTIONS (SLOWING FILLING RATE). MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR
