STEERING
AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING FASTER THAN 40 MPH, MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN I HIT EVEN THE SMALLEST OF BUMPS. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO SLOW IT DOWN TO A CRAWL. PROBABLY HAPPENS 2-3 TIMES PER WEEK. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE IF IT HITS A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS VIOLENT SHAKING IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AND THERE ARE COUNTLESS DOCUMENTED INSTANCES OF THIS IN TESTIMONIAL AND VIDEO FORM ON THE INTERNET. THIS VIOLENT SHAKING HAS OCCURRED 6 TIMES, ALL AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 45-65 MPH. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND WILL NOT FIX IT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE JEEP IS OUT OF CONTROL UNTIL IT COMES TO A STOP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2005 JEEP WRANGLER FUEL SPILLING WHEN FUELED. AT AROUND 20,000 MILES EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK GAS IS SPIT OUT. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE DRIVEN. I EVEN TRIED RUNNING THE NOZZLE AT THE SLOWEST SPEED POSSIBLE, AND IT WILL STILL SPIT SOME OUT. TALKING TO OTHER JEEP OWNERS WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE EFFECTING MOSTLY 2004 WRANGLERS AND NEWER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE, IF NOT CAREFUL IT CAN COVER THE PERSON FUELING WITH GAS, AND OTHER PEOPLE IF THEY ARE CLOSE ENOUGH, AND IT WASTES PRECIOUS GAS. *TR

HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 24,000 MILES WHICH IS EXPERIENCING FRONT WHEEL SHAKING AT ABOUT 40-45 MPH AND WHEN BRAKING. ALIGNMENT, TIRES, ETC. ARE GOOD WITH NO AFTERMARKET MODIFICATIONS DONE TO SUSPENSION. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH WRANGLERS AND IS EVEN CALLED AND KNOWN AS A "DEATH WOBBLE." NO CRASHES, BUT DEALER WILL CHARGE TO INVESTIGATE AND FIX. AS MENTIONED, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH WRANGLERS, THEREFORE, ISN'T IT A MANUFACTURING FLAW THAT JEEP NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR? *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
1. DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH THE FRONT SUSPENSION WILL SOMETIMES GO INTO A VIOLENT OSCILLATION. THE STEERING WHEEL, SHIMMIES SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT CANNOT BE CONTROLLED. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT IS COMING APART. NOT A SIMPLE WHEEL BALANCE SHIMMY, THIS IS A DANGEROUS VIOLENT OSCILLATION. 2. IT GETS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. 3. IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER WHICH MADE THE PROBLEM BETTER, BUT IT CAME BACK SLIGHTLY, AND PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE, AND WORSE. THERE IS SOME UNDERLYING PROBLEM THAT THE STEERING STABILIZER IS MASKING. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
I HAVE A 2004 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING DEATH WOBBLE, WHERE THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND WHEELS ACTUALLY WOBBLE.I HAVE REPLACED SHOCKS, STEERING STABILIZER, ROTATED AND BALANCED TIRES AND HAD THE FRONT END ALIGNED AND CHECKED BY A CAR DEALERS SERVICE DEPT. THE WOBBLE LESSENS BUT STILL PERSISTS. IT OCCURS AT 40 MPH OR ABOVE. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FULLY EXPLAIN A SURE FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. MY JEEP HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS 57,000 MILES. JEEP/CHRYSLER ARE NO HELP IN FIXING THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
2010 JEEP WRANGLER 2DR, MANUAL TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION JUMPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION WILL JUMP OUT OF 1ST GEAR (JOG) INTO NEUTRAL WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM A DEAD STOP. THIS EVENT OCCURS EVERY SO OFTEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER. THE VEHICLE HAS 630 MILES ON IT AND THIS JUMPING OUT OF GEAR HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN A DOZEN OCCASIONS ALREADY. IT HAS ALREADY PUT ME IN AN UNSETTLING SITUATION, OCCURRING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IF IT WASN'T FOR QUICK REACTIONS AND A WIDE BERTH, AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNAVOIDABLE. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME WHERE A PERSON WHOSE VEHICLE IS SUFFERING FROM DEFECT IS INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE BUT THE PROPOSED FIX (INNER BOOT REPLACEMENT AND/OR MODIFICATION) HAS FAILED AS THE VEHICLE STILL JUMPS OUT OF GEAR. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAS ONLY ISSUED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HOW TO POTENTIALLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE WHICH DO NOT ALWAYS WORK (SEE PREVIOUS SENTENCE). *TR
