FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WITHIN THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I CANNOT FILL UP MY GAS TANK WITHOUT GAS SPILLING OUT BEFORE THE TANK CUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE TUBING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SO THEY DID IT. BUT, I STILL HAD THE PROBLEM. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THE CHARCOAL CARTRIDGE IS CLOGGED AND HAS BLOCKED THE VENT INTO THE GAS TANK. THIS WILL NOW NEED REPLACING. BECAUSE I AM JUST OUTSIDE MY WARRANTY, CHRYSLER HAS AGREED TO COVER MOST OF THE COST. EACH TIME I HAVE TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE BECAUSE THE DEALER KEEPS DECIDING IT IS SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN JEEPS. WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM? I READ THERE WAS A RECALL OF THE PROBLEM IN '07-'08 JEEPS, BUT ONLY THOSE YEARS. IF THE PROBLEM WAS ACKNOWLEDGED, WHY IS IT STILL HAPPENING IN '09 JEEPS? *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
2009 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X 4 DOOR 4X4 STOCK: EXPERIENCED "DEATH WOBBLE" WHILE TRAVELING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 40-65 MPH FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY ESPECIALLY WHEN HITTING SMALL OR LARGE BUMPS OR POT HOLES. HAS HAPPENED FOR THE PAST 10,000 MILES AND THE CAR HAS JUST UNDER 30K NOW. SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT THAT VEHICLE HAD TO BE BROUGHT TO A COMPLETED STOP EVEN IN THE LANE OF TRAVEL ON THE HIGHWAY. VERY DANGEROUS AS A CAR SLAMMED ON ITS BRAKES BEHIND ME ON THE LEFT LANE OF THE NJ GARDEN STATE PARKWAY NEARLY SETTING OFF A CHAIN REACTION ACCIDENT. STEERING DAMPER REPLACED BY DEALER CLAIMING THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER PICKING THE VEHICLE UP IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NEXT TIME THE DEALER REPLACED RUINED BALL BEARINGS DUE TO THE DEATH WOBBLE AND REALIGNED & WHEELS BALANCED AND ROTATED. A FEW DAYS LATER THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS HURT OR DIES TO INTERVENE. CLEARLY THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR THESE JEEPS, JUST GOOGLE AND YOU WILL SEE MANY COMPLAINTS NOT FORMALLY LODGED HERE! MANUFACTURE NEEDS TO COME OUT WITH A VIABLE RESOLUTION AS THE DEALERS SEEM STUMPED. *TR

STEERING
ON 03/31/2011 I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH WHEN MY JEEP WRANGLER HIT A BUMP CAUSING DEATH WOBBLE. THE WOBBLE WAS SO VIOLENT THAT I HAD TO COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP IN TRAFFIC TO GET IT TO STOP. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT ONCE BEFORE FOR THIS EVENT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A BALANCE ISSUE WITH THE TIRES. I CAN FEEL AND HEAR A SLIGHT CLUNK FROM TIME TO TIME IN THE STEERING AREA, MOST LIKELY THE TRAC BAR BUSHINGS ARE FAILING. THE VEHICLE IS STOCK NO MODIFICATIONS EXCEPT A STEERING STABILIZER REPLACEMENT TO HEAVY DUTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE NOW. JEEP SAYS IT IS RELATED TO THE ALIGNMENT OR BALANCING BUT DEFINITELY NOT RELATED TO BUSHING OR STABILIZER ISSUES. I DISAGREE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THE TRAC BAR NEEDS TO BE BEEFED UP. *TR

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT STARTING GOING OFF AND ON IN MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER XUNLIMITED ABOUT 62,000 MILES. NOW IT IS ON MORE THAN OFF. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T DETERMINE WHAT THE CAUSE IS UNLESS THE LIGHT IS ON WHILE THEY HOOK IT UP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. HAVE REVIEWED VARIOUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD TO REPORT TO YOUR WEBSITE. IT IS A RIGHT HAND DRIVE RURAL MAIL JEEP. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
EVERYTIME I FILL MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON WITH GAS, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PUMP TURNS OFF, GAS STARTS FLOWING OUT OF THE FUEL NECK SPILLING ON ME THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS USING DIFFERENT PUMPS. I CAN TAKE MY OTHER VEHICLE TO SAME PUMP AND NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M CONCERNED NOT ONLY OF THE DAMAGE THIS IS DOING TO THE BODY OF MY WRANGLER BUT ALSO THE ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE OF ALL THE GAS SPILLING ON THE GROUND. *TR
