SUSPENSION, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WAS DRIVING A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AND THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I FILLED THE TIRES TO THE SPECIFIED AMOUNT AND DROVE DOWN THE ROAD. THE JEEP ALL OF A SUDDEN VIOLENTLY SHOOK BACK AND FOURTH TO THE POINT I COULD BARLEY HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, VISUALLY CHECK THE WHEELS AND DRIVE AWAY AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I BELIEVE WHAT I EXPERIENCED WAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." NOW RECENTLY MY FATHER WAS DRIVING THE SAME JEEP AND IT HAPPENED TO HIM 3 TIMES ON A ROAD TRIP WITHOUT THE TIRE PRESSURES BEING CHANGED. HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER. I BELIEVE THIS IS JUST A FIX TO THE DAMAGE THAT WAS CAUSED BY THE JEEPS MALFUNCTIONS AND THEY DID NOT FIX ANYTHING TO PREVENT THE WOBBLE FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, SUSPENSION, TIRES, EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
I BOUGHT MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER AROUND OCTOBER, NOVEMBER 2009, USED WITH ABOUT 16,000 MILES FROM WORLD CAR NISSAN WITH A ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILE WARRANTY. THE JEEP CAME WITH AN AFTER MARKET LIFT KIT OF APPROX 4 INCHES WITH 33 INCH TOYO OPEN COUNTRY TIRES "RANCHO SHOCKS, SKY JACKER LIFT" WORLD CAR TOLD ME THE JEEP CAME LIKE THIS ORIGINALLY FROM THE DEALER. WORLD CAR ENCOURAGED ME TO TAKE THE JEEP AND TEST DRIVE IT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. AFTER RETURNING THE JEEP I TOLD THEM THAT I LIKED THE JEEP BUT IT HAD HANDLING ISSUES ON THE ROAD. WHILE TEST DRIVING THE JEEP ON NORMAL ROADS I NOTICED THE JEEP WOULD TRACK HARD AND PULL TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT ALMOST CAUSING ME TO RUN OFF THE ROAD ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. WORLD CAR SAID THEY WOULD CHECK OUT THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE THE TIRES. I PURCHASED THE JEEP. WHEN PICKING UP THE JEEP THEY TOLD ME THEY TOOK CARE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS. JEEP ASSURED ME THE HANDLING ISSUES WERE DUE TO THE LIFT AND LARGER TIRES. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER LEAVING WORK I TURNED A CORNER AND MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE STARTED KLUNKING AND WOBBLING. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS MISSING 4 OF 5 LUG NUTS AND HAD ONE BROKEN STUD. ONLY ONE LUG NUT WAS HOLDING MY TIRE ON. THE JEEP HAD TO BE TOWED. WORLD CAR GAVE ME A LOANER CAR, REPAIRED THE PROBLEM, WITH NO APOLOGY AND NO EXPLANATION. AROUND JULY 2009, I DROVE TO PORT ARKANSAS TEXAS, I DROVE TO THE BEACH. I ONLY DROVE IN THE NORMAL TRAFFIC LANES NO FOUR WHEELING. THE NEXT WEEK ON FRIDAY WHILE DRIVING DOWN IH 35 THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKED TO THE LEFT ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. ON SATURDAY I NOTICED THE RIGHT REAR SHOCK HANGING DOWN.THE UPPER SHOCK SUPPORT PIN WAS BROKEN OFF. JEEP ACCUSED ME OF FOUR WHEELING AND ABUSING THE JEEP, THEY REPAIRED IT AT NO COST TO ME. SOME TIMES THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM COMES ON PRE-MATURELY WHILE MAKING CORNERS MAKING THE JEEP HARD TO HANDLE. NOW THE ESP BAS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON. ON JEEPFORUM.COM ESP BAS FAILURE APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER AND EVERY TIME I GO TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK, THE TANK WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY CUT OFF THE GAS PUMP WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR APPROX THE LAST 15,000 MILES AND I CURRENTLY HAVE 27,000 MILES ON THE JEEP. THE VEHICLE WAS BRAND NEW WHEN I PURCHASED IT. I HAVE THIS PROBLEM AT EVERY GAS STATION I HAVE TRIED SO I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS A GAS PUMP FAILURE. I HAVE ALSO FILLED OTHER CARS AT THE SAME GAS STATIONS WITH NO PROBLEMS. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH GAS WHEN IT IS FULL IT SPILLS OUT ABOUT A HALF GALLON OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ON TO THE GROUND. I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AND WATCH WHEN IT IS ALMOST FULL TO PREVENT THIS. IF I DON NOT WATCH IT WOULD DO IT EVERY TIME. *TR

AIR BAGS, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY UNMODIFIED 2008 JEEP WRANGLER X HAS GIVEN ME AN AUDIBLE "DING" WARNING AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON WHILE STUCK IN VERY SLOW MOVING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC (APPROXIMATELY 0-10 MPH). BOTH TIMES IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 85-90 DEGREES F OUTSIDE AND THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS OFF. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED THE "HOT OIL" WARNING RECALL FIX HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE THAT WARNING NOR DID THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE RISE MORE THAN HALF THE WIDTH OF THE NEEDLE. ON THE SECOND OCCASION THE "DING" AND AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON REPEATEDLY OVER A PERIOD OF A HALF AN HOUR EACH TIME TRAFFIC SLOWED DOWN. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
I HAVE WHAT IS CALLED DEATH WOBBLE IN MY 2004 JEEP WRANGLER. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN VARIOUS FORUMS, I BELIEVE IT NEEDS TO BE ADRESSED. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED BY EXPERTS BUT STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. THE JEEP HAS AROUND 30,000 MILES,AND IT HAS BEEN OFF ROAD,BUT SOME PEOPLE HAVE NOT BEEN OFFROAD AT ALL AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WITH MILEAGE I DON'T THINK THIS JEEP SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WARNOUT. THE PROBLEM IS STILL ONGOING. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY 2004 JEEP WRANGLER HAS "THE DEATH WOBBLE". AT APPROX. 45-50 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL JUST ABOUT SHAKES OUT OF MY HANDS. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT EVEN CHECK IT OUT WITHOUT CHARGING ME BY THE HOUR WITH AN ESTIMATED 2 HR. INSPECTION. IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET YET JEEP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT EXISTS. I LOVE MY JEEP, IT'S THE 3RD ONE I'VE OWNED, BUT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE. THE ONLY FIX SEEMS TO BE TO POUR MONEY IN MY VEHICLE UNTIL I GET THE RIGHT PART TAKEN CARE OF. I CAN'T EVEN TRADE IT IN WHILE IT'S DOING THIS. I'M STUCK AND I WANT SOME ACTION TAKEN BY JEEP! *TR

STEERING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 JEEP WRANGLER -- BOUGHT USED WITH LESS THAN 30K MILES ON IT. WOBBLE AT ABOUT 55MPH, INTERMITTENTLY. MINE WAS SOLVED BY REPLACING THE STABILIZER BAR, HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH TIRES, ALTHOUGH THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I THOUGHT I HAD BLOWN A TIRE. GAS TANK FILLING -- SAME PROBLEM, THE PUMP DOESN'T SHUT OFF UNLESS YOU PUMP THE GAS SLOWLY. FIRST FEW TIMES, SPEWED GAS ALL OVER THE JEEP, MYSELF AND THE PAVEMENT. NOW I LISTEN AS THE TANK FILLS AND SLOW THE FILL AS I KNOW IT'S STARTING TOWARDS FULL. WITH THE SLOWING, THE PUMP DOES SHUT OFF BUT IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE SOME IDEA HOW MUCH GAS THE TANK WILL TAKE AT CERTAIN FUEL READINGS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STEERING, TIRES, SUSPENSION:FRONT
I BOUGHT A USED 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE FOUR TIMES FOR EXCESSIVE SHAKING WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS AROUND 50 MPH. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES UNTIL I EITHER SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN. THERE IS NO WAY TO CONTROL THE JEEP WHILE IT IS SHAKING! I HAVE HAD ALL THE "POSSIBLE CAUSES" CHECKED, REPLACED OR BALANCED INCLUDING: TIRES, FRONT END ALIGNMENT, SHOCKS, STABILIZER, BRAKES, ROTORS (TWICE). THE SHAKING MAY GO AWAY FOR A SHORT TIME BUT THEN RETURNS. (THIS WRANGLER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE BRAKE RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR.) *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
WHILE MOVING ROCKS IN MY YARD, I PUT THE TRANSFER CASE IN LOW AND LOCKED THE AXLES, BOTH FRONT AND REAR. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE U-JOINT EXPLODED, DAMAGING THE INNER AND OUTER AXLES. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDRIVABLE. I DO FAILURE ASSESSMENT FOR MY WORK AND HAVE DETERMINED INCORRECT HEAT TREATING OF THE CRITICAL DRIVE TRAIN COMPONENTS TO BE SUSPECT. THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE A HEAVY DUTY VEHICLE. MOVING ROCKS IS HARDLY HEAVY DUTY. THERE ARE ALSO A LOT OF "REPLACEMENT" AXLES AVAILABLE ON THE AFTERMARKET THAT STATE THEY ARE "MORE" HEAVY DUTY THAN STOCK. A NEIGHBOR DOWN THE STREET EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE PRIOR TO ME. MY VEHICLE MISSED THE WARRANTY BY 2,700 MILES BUT IS 2 YEARS UNDER. REPAIRS ARE EXPECTED TO BE $1,000 PLUS LABOR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO FILL MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER'S TANK TO FULL, GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FUEL TUBE AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THIS IS AT LEAST 8OZ OF FUEL EASILY GUSHING OUT AND IS A FIRE HAZARD. I AM THE SECOND OWNER, AND HAVE ONLY OWNED IT SINCE 7/31/10. I HAVE FILLED THE TANK 4 TIMES AND ALL 4 TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED. A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED A WRANGLER FORUM WHERE COUNTLESS JEEP OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, CHRYSLER WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE PAID FOR NUMEROUS GAS TANKS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NOT CALLED CHRYSLER YET, BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW THE RUNAROUND I WILL ENCOUNTER BASED ON OTHER'S EXPERIENCE, AND AM WAITING UNTIL I HAVE SOME TIME OFF NEXT WEEK TO DEVOTE TO THIS FRUSTRATING PHONE CALL. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER X STARTED TO EXPERIENCE AN EXTREME WOBBLE THAT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN IT HAPPENS THE WHOLE FRONT END STARTS SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. YESTERDAY THE ISSUE OCCURRED SO BADLY THAT I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY (IT WAS QUITE DANGEROUS AND I'M LUCKY THERE WASN'T AN ACCIDENT). I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A JEEP DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE AWARE OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS WITH OTHER JEEPS (OFTEN REFERRED TO AS "DEATH WOBBLE") BUT THEY SAID THAT SINCE THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, THEY HAVE NO CLEAR FIX TO DATE. GOING ON THEIR RECOMMENDATION, I HAD THE TIRES REBALANCED AND THEY WENT THROUGH AND RETIGHTENED THE TRACKBAR LINKAGE, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE DEALERSHIP IS PROVIDING ME NO FURTHER RESOLUTION AND, AS MENTIONED BEFORE, I AM STILL EXPERIENCING INSTANCES OF EXTREME FRONT-END WOBBLE. I AM AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS RESOLVED AS IT PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN. *TR
