2010 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED: I RECENTLY TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ATTEND TO ANOTHER RECALL AND CHECK OUT SOME PROBLEMS - OVERFLOWING GAS TANK, SQUEALING BRAKES, ROUGH IDLE IN TRAFFIC, INCREASINGLY ROUGH AND LOUD RIDE. I PURCHASED MY JEEP NEW 18 MONTHS AGO AND IT NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 22K MILES. THEY REPLACED THE GAS TANK WHICH I NOW UNDERSTAND IS A COMMON ISSUE ON THE 2010 RUBICONS. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO REPLACE BOTH ROTORS WHICH ARE NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO DEBRIS GETTING CAUGHT BETWEEN THE BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR ON BOTH REAR BRAKES. AND, THEY EXPLAINED THE LOUD/ROUGH RIDE WAS FROM THE UNEVEN WEAR ON MY FRONT TIRES. THE TREAD ON MY FRONT TIRES SHOWED SEVERE CUPPING. THE TECH SAID IT WAS FROM NOT ROTATING MY TIRES OFTEN ENOUGH AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON JEEPS SINCE THE FRONT HAS MORE "PLAY" AND THE REAR IS MORE "SOLID". HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY JEEP. I QUESTIONED WHETHER THE SIGNIFICANT UNEVEN WEAR WAS ACCEPTABLE AFTER ONLY 22K MILES. HE OFFERED NO OTHER SOLUTION OTHER THAN ROTATING THE DAMAGED TIRES TO THE BACK AND WAIT FOR THEM TO WEAR EVENLY. MY CONCERN WAS ROTATING THE TIRES WOULD JUST CREATE ISSUE WITH MY OTHER TWO TIRES AS WELL. HE SAID IT'S JUST NORMAL AND I'D NEED TO REPLACE ALL OF MY TIRES SOON ANYWAY. WITH THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE BEING ONLY 18 MONTHS WITH 22K MILES, I QUESTION IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RELATED TO MY SUSPENSION. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS TANK SPITS BACK OUT GAS AS SOON AS THE FILLING STOPS. THERE IS ENOUGH GAS LOST TO SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. I HAVE USED DIFFERENT PUMPS AT THE SAME STATION AND FINALLY WENT TO OTHER STATIONS AND THE SAME HAS HAPPENED EACH TIME I GAS UP MY VEHICLE. I JUST RETURNED FROM THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE CHECK VALVE AND I WOULD NEED A COSTLY REPLACEMENT OF THE WHOLE TANK. I SEE NOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS GAS TANK. LOSING EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF GAS IS COSTLY NOT TO MENTION THE POTENTIAL DANGER OF FREE GAS SPILLING OUT. A RECALL IS NEEDED WHICH IS NOT LIMITED TO ONLY CERTAIN YEARS. *KB

THE TRANSMISSION BECAME DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE 1ST GEAR. SHIFTING INTO ALL OTHERS WAS VERY NOTCHY. FINALLY, IN TRAFFIC, IT BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO ENGAGE 1ST GEAR AT ALL. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE STARTED IN 2ND GEAR. THE VEHICLE HAD LIMPED IN TO THE DEALER. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE 1ST GEAR SYNCHRO HAD CRACKED AND FAILED. THIS CAN CREATE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION IN BUSY TRAFFIC. THIS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPORTED BY VARIOUS USER FORUMS AS FAULTY AND PRONE TO FAILURE, INCLUDING POPPING OUT OF GEAR AND DIFFICULT SHIFTING. POPPING OUT OF GEAR IN A BUSY INTERSECTION COULD BE DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ENGAGE ANOTHER GEAR. THE DEALER IS REPAIRING THE BROKEN SYNCHRO. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AT 20,000 MILES ON THE JEEP ANY TIME THAT WE FILL THE GAS TANK, AT ANY STATION, IT SPILLS OUT 1/2 TO 1 CUP OF FUEL AND SPRAYS ALL OVER THE PLACE. THIS IS UNSAFE FOR US PERSONALLY AND THE ENVIRONMENT. IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF THE PUMP IS GOING FAST OR SLOW IT SPITS CONSTANTLY AND THEN SPILLS OUT AT THE END. WE NEVER TOP OFF. THE JEEP CURRENTLY ONLY HAS 22,000 MILES ON IT. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER CABLE FAILED AND THE VEHICLE GEAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN PARK. THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE THE CABLE BACK ON THE GEAR SHIFTER MANUALLY IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE PARK POSITION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

SUSPENSION, STEERING
ONCE MY VEHICLE REACHES A SPEED OF 50 MPH, GOES OVER A BUMP, OR AROUND SOME TURNS, IT STARTS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS SHAKING DOES NOT SUBSIDE UNTIL I STOP THE VEHICLE. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE IT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 2 MILES IF I AM GOING 50 MPH. I CAN NOT GO ABOVE 50 MPH WHICH IS QUITE DANGEROUS ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE THE SPEED LIMITS HERE ARE 65-70 MPH. WHEN I GO OVER A BUMP AND IT STARTS TO HAPPEN, IF THERE IS NO PLACE TO PULL OVER (WHICH HAS HAPPENED) I MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP RIGHT WHERE I AM, OR CONTINUE TO DRIVE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, AND I AM UNABLE TO STEER. THIS IS COMPLETELY VISIBLE TO OTHERS NOT INSIDE THE VEHICLE AS WELL, AS I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER, VERBALLY YELLED AT, HONKED AT, ETC... *KB

SUSPENSION, STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
AFTER FIGHTING WITH JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAD TO PAY FOR A SET OF RECOMMENDED UPGRADED WRANGLER SILENT ARMOR TIRES. JEEP "STRONGLY SUGGESTED" THAT I DO THIS EVEN THOUGH MY OLD TIRES, ORIGINAL JEEP WRANGLER TIRES, WERE IN GOOD CONDITION. JEEP REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE TIRES EVEN THOUGH IT ACKNOWLEDGED THE DEATH WOBBLE HAD WORN PATTERNS IN THE OLD TIRES. JEEP PUT IN A MOPAR STABILIZER, AND INSISTED THIS WOULD CURE THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. TWO WEEKS AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE NEW TIRES AND NEW STABILIZER/DAMPER BY THE AUTHORIZED JEEP SERVICE PROVIDER, THE DEATH WOBBLE RECURRED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THE DEATH WOBBLE WAS REPLICATED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO DROVE THE WRANGLER WHILE I WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AFTER HAGGLING, JEEP AGREED TO REPLACE THE STABILIZER. THIS IS STILL IN THE PROCESS OF BEING RESOLVED. SEVERAL THINGS TO REMEMBER: (1) CALL JEEP, REGARDLESS OF THE YEAR OF YOUR VEHICLE OR WARRANTY STATUS. PLEASE, DON'T LET JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE TELL YOU THAT YOUR VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY ARE NOT ACCOUNTABLE. KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECTS HAVE NO WARRANTY LIMITATIONS AND RECALLS CAN BE MADE REGARDLESS OF OUT-OF-WARRANTY STATUS. (2) PRESS JEEP FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR ALL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES YOU'VE MADE TRYING TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM. I WAS NOT 100% SUCCESSFUL, BUT I AM STILL APPEALING TO THEM, ESPECIALLY SINCE REPAIRS WERE MADE BY THEIR OWN DEALERSHIP. MY NEXT STEP WILL BE THE SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF NOT FEDERAL. (3) REPORT THIS PROBLEM TO THE NHTSA! THE DEATH WOBBLE IS REAL AND IT PUTS LIVES AT RISK. IF THERE ARE NO COMPLAINTS, THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR FIXES, AND LIVES WILL BE LOST, IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. (4) ASK YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS IF THEY'VE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY DRIVERS THINK IT'S AN ISOLATED ISSUE. IT IS NOT, AND JEEP IS AWARE OF IT. *KB

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED IN A CONSTRUCTION AREA. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE REP FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY STATED THAT THE STEERING DAMPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, TO THE TUNE OF $275 NOT INCLUDING LABOR. I DID NOT GET THE WORK DONE BECAUSE SOMETHING DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT, BASED ON THE SERVICE REPS "IT ISN'T A BIG DEAL" STATEMENT. I HAD MY TIRE BALANCE CHECKED, AND DURING A 1400 MILE DRIVE, NEVER HAD ANOTHER OCCURRENCE. I ASKED IF ANYONE ELSE COMPLAINED ABOUT "DEATH WOBBLE" (A TERM PICKED UP WHEN I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO A GROUP OF 4X4 ENTHUSIASTS), TO WHICH I RECEIVED A NEGATIVE RESPONSE. IT WAS AT FIRE STONE THAT WAS INFORMED OF TSB'S ON THE STEERING. JUST RECENTLY, THE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING HAS BECOME NOTICEABLE DURING LOW SPEEDS AND ROUGHER ROADS. AT APPROX. 60 MPH, I EXPERIENCE "DEATH WOBBLE". THE FRONT END AND STEERING SHAKE VIOLENTLY UNTIL I CAN PULL THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROADWAY. THIS HAPPENS AT 60 MPH, USUALLY ACCELERATING UP HILL, AROUND CORNERS AND OCCASIONALLY ON STRAIGHTAWAY THAT HAVE A LOT OF EXPANSION JOINTS. 60 MPH SEEMS TO BE THE MAGIC NUMBER. LAST WEEK (APPROX JAN 28TH) I WAS TRAVELING OVER THE LOCAL EXPANSION BRIDGE. I FELT SLIGHT VIBRATION IN THE STEERING, BACKED OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND SIGNALED TO MOVE ONTO THE EXIT RAMP TO I-26. THE DEATH WOBBLE KICKED IN, ALMOST THROWING ME INTO TWO VEHICLES. I MANAGED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE AND AVOID RUNNING OFF THE ROADWAY. *TR

WHEELS
MY 2007 JEEP UNLIMITED SAHARA HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." OCCURRED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. MECHANIC COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT, BUT PRESCRIBED TIRE INFLATION. PROBLEM WENT AWAY UNTIL ONE WEEK AGO. CAN BE EASILY REPLICATED BY GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP AT ABOUT 25 MPH AND TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT SHARPLY. ALTERNATIVELY, JUST TRAVELING ABOVE 40-45 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, ESPECIALLY ON A CURVE, WILL REPLICATE. IF ANY OTHER JEEP DRIVER HAS THIS PROBLEM, THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF IS TO BRAKE SLOWLY, GET OFF THE ROAD AND DRIVE UNDER 40 MPH...AND MUCH SLOWER WHILE TURNING EVEN ON SIDE STREETS. IF YOU MUST DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY, STAY IN THE SLOW LANE SO THAT YOU CAN EXIT TO THE SHOULDER WITH RELATIVE SAFETY, AND ENGAGE YOUR HAZARD LIGHTS. OBVIOUSLY, THESE ARE NOT PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS AND ULTIMATE CULPABILITY MUST LIE WITH THE MANUFACTURER, WHO HAS BEEN PUT ON ALERT OF THIS PERSISTENT PROBLEM FOR MANY MONTHS IF NOT YEARS. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED BY JEEP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY HURT. PLEASE SHARE THESE COMPLAINTS WITH JEEP & THE GENERAL PUBLIC (WITHOUT DISCLOSING THE NAMES OR SPECIFIC VIN #S). *TT

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WAS DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEED ON CA HWY 24 AND HIT MINOR BUMP DUE TO CHANGE IN ROAD TYPE AND VEHICLE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHIMMY AS IF I HAD BLOWN A TIRE. I MOVED TO FAR RIGHT LANE AND BEGAN TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE MY SPEED DROPPED BELOW 40 MPH SHIMMY STOPPED SUDDENLY. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE'S A SERVICE ADVISORY ABOUT THIS AND THEY WOULD LIKELY REPLACE STEERING DAMPENER. THEY DID. PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED A YEAR LATER AT 28K MILES, AND JEEP DEALER SAYS MY FRONT END APPEARS FINE AS DO MY TIRES AND ALIGNMENT. THEY ESCALATED TO JEEP CORPORATE, WHO SAID REPLIED THAT I SHOULD BUY NEW TIRES, EVEN THOUGH MY TIRES APPEAR FINE, AND THAT THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED ON A SINGLE AXLE VEHICLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE, AND FIND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE KNOWN AS 'DEATH WOBBLE', AND THAT IS PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED MOSTLY IN JEEPS WITH A MODIFIED SUSPENSION OR LIFT KIT. BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF NHTSA COMPLAINTS ON FILE, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS NOW A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE THE 2007 SUSPENSION REDESIGN AND ADDITION OF THE 4DR WRANGLER TO THE LINE UP. JEEP COMPLETELY REDESIGNED THE SUSPENSION ON THE WRANGLER IN 2011, AND THOSE OF US WITH 2007 TO 2010 MODEL YEAR JEEPS ARE LEFT DRIVING UNSAFE VEHICLES. THIS WAS MARKETED TO ME AS A FAMILY CAR AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, AND JEEP DID NOT DISCLOSE THAT DEATH WOBBLE WAS LIKELY TO OCCUR IN A SINGLE AXLE VEHICLE AND WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF FRONT END PARTS THAT SHOW NO WEAR BEYOND THE NORMAL USE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, SINCE I USE THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY, AND JEEP SEEMS TO THINK THIS IS A KNOWN ENOUGH PROBLEM TO EXPECT ME TO PAY FOR REPAIRS RELATED TO POOR UNSAFE DESIGN BY THEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. HOW MANY FATALITIES NEED TO OCCUR BEFORE NHTSA TAKE NOTICE OF THIS DESIGN FLAW?

THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. HAD IT CHECKED LAST YEAR 1/14/11, THE DEALERSSHIP INSPECTED AND FOUND CODE FOR CLOCK SPRING, REPLACED CLOCK SPRING AND CLEARED CODES AND SYSTEM WAS OPERATING PROPERLY AT THE TIME. THE DEARLERSHIP CHARGED 364.48. NOW IT IS ONE YEAR LATER AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS BACK ON. IT GOES ON AND OFF THE WHOLE TIME WHLIE YOU ARE DIVING. I THINK THIS SHOULD ME LOOKED INTO BECAUSE IF THE AIRBAGS GOES OFF WHILE YOUR DIVING, IT COULD CAUSE YOU TO HAVE A CRASH OR INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE IN ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TT
