FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER STARTED BLOWING BACK GAS OUT OF THE TANK EVERYTIME I FILL IT UP. I HAVE TRIED TO BE ULTRA CAREFUL TO STOP IT WHEN IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GETTING FULL, BUT EVEN THEN WITHIN A COUPLE OF SECONDS IT STILL OVERFLOWS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND AND ME. IT HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE MY JEEP HIT AROUND 35,000 MILES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. ON JUNE 8, 2010 WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THE BRAKES BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A DITCH. HE MANAGED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DITCH SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE 2006 CHRYSLER BRAKE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED ON THE DAY THAT THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE DEALER TOLD HIM THAT THEY WOULD INSPECT THE BRAKES, ROTORS, CALIPERS, AND REPLACE ANY PARTS AND IF THERE WAS AN EXISTING RECALL THAT CHRYSLER WOULD REIMBURSE HIM FOR THE PARTS; HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF A BRAKE RECALL. THE CHRYSLER MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS REJECTED FROM THE SYSTEM. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 55,700.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHEN DRIVING OVER 50MPH IN MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER IF I HIT CERTAIN POTHOLES OR EXPANSION JOINTS ON THE HIGHWAY, THE WHOLE JEEP STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT WHERE I LOSE CONTROL AND DRIVERS AROUND ME PULL OFF THE ROAD WHEN THEY SEE WHAT MY JEEP IS DOING. I HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP SHAKING AND IT ONLY DOES SO ONCE I AM ABLE TO BRING IT TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT SEEMS MANY JEEP WRANGLERS DO IT. IT IS CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" AND JEEP/CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX IT. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY FAMILY IN. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
VIOLENT FRONT END WOBBLING EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, NO MATTER THE SIZE OF THE BUMP. TO STOP THE WOBBLING I HIT THE BRAKES AND IT STOPS UNTIL ANOTHER BUMP IS HIT. BALANCED AND ROTATED THE TIRES, REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER AND NEW TIRES, THIS HELPED FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS AND NOW IT IS GETTING WORSE. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I HAVE A 2009 FOUR DOOR JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY SYSTEM. WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE IN MAY 2010, THE DASH BOARD SLIPPING INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND THE VEHICLE CLAMPED DOWN ON THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE DRIVING ME OFF THE INTERSTATE INTO THE GRASS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE HAVING AN ACCIDENT. THE SYSTEM THEN INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND THE ESP DISARMED ITSELF WHILE DISABLING THE ESP. THE BAS INDICATOR LIT. SHORTLY BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE GARAGE, THE ESP MODULE APPARENTLY RESET ITSELF AND THE VEHICLE SWERVED TO THE RIGHT (FRONT RIGHT BRAKE AGAIN CLAMPING DOWN) WHILE I WAS GOING 30MPH. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE 3 MPG VIDEOS OF THIS 2ND INCIDENT BECAUSE I HAPPENED TO HAVE MY CAMERA IT THE PASSENGER SEAT. VIDEOS OF 2NF INCIDENT AND REPAIR RECEIPT: HTTP://WWW.ECJONES.ORG/JEEPESP/ ON MAY 20, 2010, COGDILL DODGE (865-690-1611) REPLACED THE ANTILOCK-BRAKE/ESP MODULE. UNFORTUNATELY, LAST SATURDAY JUNE 4, 2010 WHILE DRIVING HOME, THE VEHICLE ESP SLIPPAGE INDICATOR AGAIN FLASHED AND THE JEEP SWERVED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT. MY SON [XXX] WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME WHILE I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. [XXX] STATES THE JEEP WAS ALSO TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY APPLYING THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE. I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM IS A FAILURE OF THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR GETTING THE SPEED INDICATION TO THE ESP MODULE. THE MODULE WAS REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. [XXX] P.S. THE JEEP IS CURRENTLY PARKED WHILE I AWAIT A 2ND REPAIR BY JIM COGDILL DODGE THIS WEDNESDAY.

2005 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED. NO EXCESSIVE WEAR OR TEAR. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SPLASHING GAS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS TOPPED OFF FOR OVER A YEAR. THIS CAUSES ANYWHERE FROM A HALF PINT TO A QUART OF GAS TO SPRAY AND RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. AS FAR AS I KNOW JEEP HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL TO FIX WHAT I SEE AS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
