ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ON MY 2006 JEEP UNLIMITED LJ HAS CAUSED MY JEEP CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND TO HAVE MISFIRE CODES, TRANSMISSION FAILURE CODES, AND EMISSION SENSOR CODES, CAUSING MY JEEP TO RUN ROUGH AND MAY CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE TO MY MOTOR IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. THE CODES PRODUCED, DOES NOT POINT OUT MY THAT MY CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IS THE PROBLEM BUT MASKS THE PROBLEM WITH OTHER SENSOR CODES.THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE AND THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T EVEN TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY JEEP AND SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO JUST START WITH ONE THING AND KEEP REPLACING PARTS TILL THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. I AM STILL TRYING TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED AND I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED WITH A REPUTABLE JEEP MECHANIC AT A SPECIALTY JEEP SHOP TO TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM THIS WEDNESDAY 8/4/2010. HOPEFULLY MY ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN DAMAGED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS FULLY AWARE OF! MY MILEAGE IS IN THE 76,000 MILE RANGE AND I DO NOT KNOW IF MY DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY COVERS THIS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4X4 - 1. EVERYTIME I FILL GAS TANK, GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF TANK AT ME AND DOWN SIDE OF JEEP. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. 2. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE OTHER DAY AND 3 DIFFERENT MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON IN A MATTER OF SECONDS, JEEP POWERED OFF. NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. VERY ODD, SCARY AND UNSAFE??? CAR IS AT DEALERSHIP, NO CLUE WHY THIS HAPPENED AT THIS TIME. DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO TAKE ENGINE APART AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $900. WHAT IS CHRYSLER GOING TO DO ABOUT THESE ISSUES.? *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
2007-2010 JEEP JK WRANGLER (ALL MODELS) MANUAL 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY JUMPS OUT OF GEAR (JOG) IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. THE ACTION IS QUICK, VIOLENT AND SOUNDS LIKE THE VEHICLE HIT A CURB OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE MOVEMENT OF THE SHIFT HANDLE IS VIOLENT ENOUGH TO CAUSE HAND INJURY INCLUDING BROKEN BONES. IN ADDITION, THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE VEHICLE CAN BECOME MOMENTARILY UNABLE TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR SLOW SPEED (I.E. AVOIDING OTHER VEHICLES, OBJECTS ETC.). THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. SOME QUICK RESEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM AS DOCUMENTED BY OTHER JEEP OWNERS/OPERATORS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
REAR BRAKES WORN AND FAILING DUE DEFECTIVE PISTONS. TOOK THE JEEP IN TO HAVE THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT AND I WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL FOR JEEP WRANGLER BY THE TECHNICIAN. THE JEEP WAS PURCHASED IN APRIL OF 2008. IT HAS 32,149 MILES. THE FRONT BRAKES HAD MORE THAN 70% PAD LEFT. MY CONCERN IS IF THE PISTONS ARE APPLYING CONSTANT PRESSURE TO BRAKE PADS CAN THIS CAUSE THEM TO OVERHEAT AND POTENTIALLY CATCH FIRE? I CONTACTED JEEP DIRECTLY AND THEY SAID THAT IF THE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR THEN THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR 25 YEARS AND NEVER EVER HAD A VEHICLE DO THIS BEFORE. I DID SOME SEARCHING ON THE WEB AND DISCOVERED OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. CASE NUMBER I FILED WITH JEEP [XXX] NUMBER CALLED TO FILER COMPLAINT WITH JEEP 800-992-1997. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VISIBILITY
ONE DAY AFTER PURCHASING A BRAND NEW 2010 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR, THE WINDSHIELD BEGAN TO CRACK FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS NOT A ROCK CHIP AND NO OTHER OBVIOUS SIGNS OF ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE A WINDSHIELD TO CRACK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER IT AND IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO REMEDY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER X, THE TANK OVERFLOWS A FEW CUPS OF GASOLINE OUT OF THE FILLER OPENING AFTER THE PUMP HANDLE SHUTS OFF. THIS RESULTS IN GASOLINE POURING ONTO THE PAVEMENT AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP - AND ALSO SOMETIMES ONTO MY FEET! THIS IS NOW A DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH MANY JEEPS, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY! I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF GAS STATION OWNERS START BANNING JEEPS FROM FILLING UP, SINCE THE JEEPS ARE CAUSING GASOLINE TO BE SPILLED ONTO GAS STATION PAVEMENT ON A REGULAR BASIS! *TR

IT WAS GASOLINE COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK. IT WAS POURING ONTO THE VERY HOT EXHAUST PIPE AND VAPORIZING.I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER MONDAY MORNING OF THE SEVERITY OF THE SAFETY FAILURE AND RECEIVED COMPLAINT NUMBER 19760031. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE DEALER REQUESTING THAT THE FAILED TANK BE EVALUATED AND NOT TAMPERED WITH.

EVERYTIME I FILL MY 2008 WRANGLER WITH FUEL, IT SPILLS ALL OVER INCLUDING ME. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AS FUEL SPILLS ALL OVER MYSELF AND THE JEEP. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT STATIONS AND STILL THE SAME RESULT. CHRYSLER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BUT I FEEL THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. EXPOSED FUEL IN HOT TEMP WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SPARKS BY OTHER SOURCES WHILE FUELING. IT STARTED DOING THIS LAST JULY 2009 AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. *TR

WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MILES PER HOUR AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING LIKE I HAD BLOWN A TIRE. I PULLED OVER, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND DROVE AWAY. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WAS ADVISED STEERING STABILIZER WAS DEFECTIVE,TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, AFTER THAT ONLY TO DRIVE AWAY IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP. GOT TIRED OF FIGHTING WITH JEEP TO FIX THE PROBLEM SO I HAD TO GET THE PARTS AND FIX IT MYSELF, BUT I STILL HAVE THE OLD PARTS. IN ADDITION, DAMAGE TO THE TIRES DUE TO THE STEERING STABILIZER. ALSO DO TO THE FAULTY PART IT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TIRES AND THEY STILL NEED REPLACED. FAILURE MILEAGES WAS 46,695. *TR
