FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE HAS A CONSISTENT TENDENCY TO SPUTTER, HESITATE, AND/OR COMPLETELY SHUT-OFF, ESPECIALLY AFTER FUELING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BUSY ROADWAYS AND AND INTERSECTIONS. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED BUT I QUICKLY REALIZED THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM WAS AND WAS EMPLOYING A SHOT-IN-THE-DARK METHOD. SINCE THEN I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT WITH NO RESPONSE FROM JEEP/CHRYSLER/DODGE. I AM THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE NOW, AS I DO NOT WANT MY WIFE AND CHILD TO BE SUBJECTED TO THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD. *TR

ON TUESDAY OF LAST WEEK A WEIRD NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINES HIKE DRIVING AROUND TOWN AND AFTER TAKING IT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP/SERVICE REPAIR CENTER THE ISSUE WAS IN MY TRANSMISSION AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED COMPLETELY. ..UPDATED 05/19/15*BF *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING, THE CAR STALLED OUT WHEN IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT. THIS STALLING HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THIS, ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFILLING THE TANK. USUALLY THE CAR WILL STALL SHORTLY AFTER YOU DRIVE AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION AND SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP. THE CAR WILL START UP AGAIN BUT MAY STALL AGAIN IF YOU ONLY TRAVEL A SHORT DISTANCE AND SLOW DOWN OR STOP. THE NEXT TIME YOU DRIVE, THE CAR IS USUALLY OK AND HAS NO FURTHER PROBLEMS UNTIL THE TANK IS FILLED AGAIN. AFTER READING SEVERAL INTERNET FORUMS, THIS PROBLEM IS QUITE COMMON TO CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THE PROBLEM IS THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE VALVE FAILS AND ALLOWS LIQUID INTO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER/EMISSIONS SYSTEM. LIQUID FUEL THEN GETS SENT INTO THE MANIFOLD INTAKE BY MISTAKE WHICH STALLS THE CAR OUT. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF THE CAR STALLS WHILE YOU ARE TURNING INTO TRAFFIC AND IT ALSO CAUSES YOU TO LOSE STEERING AND BRAKING POWER. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW BY CHRYSLER AND THE ONLY FIX IS TO HAVE A WHOLE NEW GAS TANK INSTALLED BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A WAY TO JUST REPLACE JUST THE FAULTY VALVE. IT IS BUILT IN TO THE TANK. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON I-30 AT 70 MPH, MY JEEP JUST DIED. NO WARNING SIGN OF ANY KIND, JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL WRECKS. I GOT TO THE MEDIAN, WAITED ABOUT 10 MINUTES, IT STARTED AND I DROVE ABOUT 20 MORE MILES, THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A MONTH, TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS PUT ON THE COMPUTER, COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAD HIM (MECHANIC) KEEP IT TILL IT HAPPENED TO HIM. FINALLY IT DID, TOOK THE FUEL PUMP OFF AND THE PLUG WAS MELTED, AS WELL AS MELTED A HOLE IN THE FUEL PUMP. HE STATED HE IS SURPRISED WE DIDN'T BLOW UP. I PLAN ON TAKING THE BURNED PLUG & PUMP TO THE DODGE HOUSE ON MONDAY, VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCEPT FUEL EASILY AS PUMP SHUTS DOWN WHILE TRYING TO FILL TANK. INFORMED WILL NEED NEW GAS TANK AT MY EXPENSE AS POSSIBLY FILTER IN TANK IS DEFECTIVE. WITH CURRENT TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING MUCH OF THE TIME IT IS POSSIBLE THAT VEHICLE MAY RUN OUT OF FUEL IN A RURAL AREA WITHOUT WARNING. POSSIBILITY OF EXPOSURE TO EXTREMELY LOW TEMPERATURES.

SUSPENSION
BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN 2007. REPLACED LEFT AND RIGHT CONTROL ARMS IN 2010 AND AGAIN IN 2014. THE CAR ONLY HAS 60,603 MILES AND ITS ON ITS 3RD SET OF CONTROL ARMS. I SHOULD NOT BE GOING THROUGH CONTROL ARMS THAT FAST. I DRIVE LESS THAN 2 MILES TO WORK EVERYDAY. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH JEEP IN 2010 AND THEY PAID AS "GOOD WILL REPAIR". THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE 2014 EVEN THOUGH ITS ONLY 30,000 MILES LATER. CONTROL ARMS SHOULD BE LASTING LONGER THAN 30,000 MILES! THE CAR HAS HAD NUMEROUS REPAIRS INCLUDING A GAS TANK PROBLEM WHERE GAS POURED BACK OUT AT YOU WHILE YOU PUMP. CLEARLY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN RHODE ISLAND HAS REFERRED ME TO THIS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP? *TR
