POWER TRAIN
TSB 21-001-10 WAS ISSUED ON 03/2/2010 "MANUAL TRANSMISSION MAY INTERMITTENTLY JUMP OUT OF FIRST GEAR" THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT AND SINCE MY DEALER CANNOT "DUPLICATE" THIS SITUATION THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN WITH MY LIFETIME WARRANTY. PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND HAVING YOUR SHIFTER POPPING OUT OF GEAR WHILE SOME BODY IS BARRELING DOWN ON YOU IS AWESOME. I FEEL SO SAFE.

I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER JK THAT SPILLS ABOUT 1/2 GALLON OF GAS ON ME, THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND WHEN IT IS FILLED WITH GAS. THE DEALER TELLS ME IT IS A DEFECTIVE ROLL OVER VALVE IN THE GAS TANK AND THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD YOU HAVE STARTED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS #PE10032. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD ANOTHER COMPLAINT TO THIS. THANK YOU *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TWO OR THREE TIMES BEFORE THE IGNITION WOULD START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS FOR THE SIMILAR FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200. UPDATED 01/26/11*LJ THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES. UPDATED 02/14/11

STEERING, WHEELS, SUSPENSION
THE VEHICLE HAS THE NOTORIOUS DEATH WOBBLE, IN THAT ON CERTAIN DOWNHILL GRADES AND OR HITTING A SERIES OF SMALL BUMPS BETWEEN 45 -55 MPH THE FRONT END VIOLENTLY BEGINS TO WOBBLE, THE CAB BEGINS ROCKING, THE STEERING WHEEL IS OUT OF CONTROL, AND AFTER BRAKING TO 35MPH CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS REGAINED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED IN ANY WAY FROM THE FACTORY. IT WAS PURCHASED WITH 12 MILES ON ODOMETER AND KNOW HAS 28.889 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SERVICE AT THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIME FOR REPAIRS, AND EACH TIME THE DEALER SAYS THAT SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT DOES NOT, IN FACT THE JEEP GOES BACK IN NEXT MONDAY FOR FURTHER REPAIRS. I'VE CONTACTED JEEP TWICE TO NO AVAIL, THEY PRETEND TO NEVER HAVE HEARD OF THE PROBLEM AS DOES THE DEALER ALTHOUGH THEY STILL FIND SOMETHING TO REPAIR BUT NEVER FULLY FIXING THE PROBLEM. IF ONE GOES TO GOOGLE AND TYPES IN DEATH WOBBLE UP COME JEEP, WITH VIDEOS OF THE WOBBLE BUT I GUESS THEY DON'T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS FOR THEIR EYES GLAZE OVER IN INCOMPREHENSION AND DENIAL. IS THERE A SOLUTION FOR THIS? I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER JK AND FOR ABOUT A MONTH WHEN I FILLUP AT THE GAS STATION IT OVERFLOWS ABOUT A HALF OF QUART OF GAS ONTO THE GROUND. I HAVE BROUGHT THE JEEP TO STORM'S MOTORS IN SOUTHAMPTON NY WHERE I PURCHASED SAME AND AGREED TO REPLACE TANK. I HAVE TO PAY THE $100 DEDUCTIBLE. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AND NOT JUST A WARRANTY ISSUE. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED FIRE. JEEP CAUGHT FIRE WHILE TRAVELING WESTBOUND. THE FIRE INITIALLY EXTINGUISHED BY A TRUCK DRIVER WHO STOPPED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH A HAND HELD FIRE EXTINGUISHER. *BF THE CONSUMER THERE WAS A PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND IT BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE WAS LOCALIZED NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE MID-FRONT UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, IT WAS UNLIKELY THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF A MECHANICAL FAILURE AS OF THE DATE OF THE REPORT, AND DUE TO THE LACK OF FLUID LEAKAGE ON THE HIGHWAY, VISIBLE MECHANICAL DAMAGE AND THE LACK OF REPORTED NOISE AND SMOKE FROM THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FIRE. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. UPDATED 11/03/10. *JB

PUMP CLICKS OFF REPEATEDLY AND PROJECTS FUEL OUT OF THE FILLER NECK, CHRYSLER AWARE AND HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN BUT REFUSES TO FIX THIS KNOW SAFETY DEFECT IF VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS MUCH FUEL SPILLS AND PROJECTS OUT AT PERSON FILLING VEHICLE. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER AND DEALER REFUSED TO FIX VEHICLE. CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATE AND AFTER 4 WEEKS THEY REFUSED TO FIX THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS ITS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. PLEASE PRESSURE CHRYSLER TO ISSUE A RECALL. THANKS *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER, 2 DOOR. AT AROUND 30,000 MILES, I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE GAS OVERFLOW WHEN FILLING UP. WHEN THE PUMP IS LEFT TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF, IT WILL AND THEN GAS WILL FLOW OUT OF THE FILL UP TUBE. IT HAS BEEN ANYWHERE FROM SHOOTING OUT TO JUST RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. I WOULD GUESS AT LEAST A CUP OF GAS. THIS HAPPENS AT VARIOUS FUEL PUMPS AND DIFFERENT STATIONS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING AND MAYBE IT WAS THE PUMP. I TOLD THEM IT HAD HAPPENED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT PUMPS, BUT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. I NOW HAVE TO GUESS WHEN THE TANK IS ABOUT FILLED AND GO THE LOWEST FLOW SETTING ON THE PUMP HANDLE. IF I GET THIS RIGHT, I DON'T GET GAS ON ME OR ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WHEN IT WAS NEW AND I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT SHOULD BE FIXED. *TR

STRUCTURE
SOFT TOP HAS LEAKED AND BEEN WORK ON UNDER WARRANTY AND IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND STILL LEAKING FROM THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. DURING PERIODS OF MILE AND HEAVY RAIN. WATER DRIPS DOWN THE CENTER CONSOLE AND OFTEN CAUSES ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH RADIO. THE DEALERS NOW WILL NOT WORK ON IT UNLESS I PAY FOR THE SERVICE AND PARTS. THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE SOFT TOP ITSELF AS THEY HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE MATING WINDSHIELD HEADER. *TR

THE GAS TANK OVER FLOWS ON MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. IT CAUSES THE GAS TO OVER FLOW AND GET ON THE JEEP, ME, AND THE GROUND. IT HAS NEARLY GOTTEN IN MY EYE SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO HAVING TO BE NEAR THE NOZZLE DURING FUELING. *TR

EQUIPMENT
2008 JEEP WRANGLER JK, EQUIPMENT. THE PROVIDED FLOOR JACK TO CHANGE TIRES IS INSUFFICIENT. WHEN PLACED IN THE RECOMMENDED POSITION TO RAISE THE VEHICLE (LOCATION IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL) THE JACK AT FULL EXTENSION IS NOT LONG ENOUGH TO RAISE THE VEHICLE. AT FULL EXTENSION (ALSO NOT RECOMMENDED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL) CAUSES AN UNSTABLE JACK WHICH INCREASES THE RISK OF THE VEHICLE FALLING. THE PROVIDED JACK IS TOO SHORT MAKING IT UNUSABLE. TO USE THE JACK, YOU'D HAVE TO PUT MAKESHIFT BLOCKS UNDER IT TO RAISE IT (NOT RECOMMENDED), OR BUY AN AFTERMARKET JACK. HOPEFULLY, NO ONE'S BEEN HURT YET. *TR

EVERY FEW TIMES I FILL MY GAS TANK, IT OVERFLOWS. THIS CAUSES THE GAS TO SPLASH BACK AT ME, SPILL ON THE CAR, AND POOL ON THE FLOOR. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN I HAD ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. IT IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE AND NOW OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY. TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE NOT BEEN TOPPING OFF MY TANK. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2007-2010 WRANGLERS FOR THE FENDER FLARE RUBBING ON A BRAKE TUBE CAUSING FAILURES. WHEN I LEARNED ABOUT THE RECALL I CHECKED MY JEEP AND SURE ENOUGH IT HAS THAT EXACT ISSUE. WHEN CONTACTING CHRYSLER, THEY SAID MY JEEP WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. WHEN PUSHED THAT I HAD THE EXACT SAME CONDITIONS THE RECALL ADDRESSED, THEY SAID TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND PAY FOR AN INSPECTION. IF FOUND TO BE SIMILAR, THEY WOULD OFFER ASSISTANCE (WITHOUT AGREEING TO 100% COVERAGE) TO FIX IT. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT EVEN THOUGH MY JEEP HAS THE EXACT ISSUE ADDRESSED IN THE RECALL THAT THEY REFUSE TO INCLUDE IT IN THE RECALL BECAUSE OF THE VIN NOT BEING PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECALL LOT. *TR
