AC COMPRESSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT.. ALSO THE COMPUTER WENT ON IT AND THAT WAS REPAIRED ON 10/11/13... I WAS TOLD THE SPARK PLUGS WERE WRONG. I HAVE NEVER HAD A TUNE UP OR MY SPARK PLUGS CHANGED! UNLESS THE WRONG ONES WERE IN THERE WHEN I BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW IN SEPTEMBER OF 2006. OR POSSIBLY THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP DID IT TO GET A REPAIR. SAFFORD IN SPRINGFIELD VA. I WILL NOT STOP PERUSING THIS UNTIL I HAVE ANSWERS.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SOME TIME. WHEN I FILL UP, THE GAS TANKS GUSHES OUT GAS WHEN IT IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME THAT I FILL UP WITH GAS. IT SEEMS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THERE IS ENOUGH FUEL THAT SPILLS ON TO THE GROUND BELOW THE JEEP. I HAVE REPLACED EVERY REGULATOR IN MY JEEP'S WINDOWS. THEY GO OUT ALL OF THE TIME. THE LAST ONE WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AND THE WINDOW CRASHED DOWN AND SCARED ME TO DEATH. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GUSHES OUT OF TANK WHEN FILLING, SPLASHING GAS ALL OVER OPERATOR, VEHICLE, AND GROUND. A LOT OF GAS SPLASHES, ENOUGH TO BE VERY DANGEROUS. EVEN NOT IGNITED GAS ON THE GROUND CAN BE SLIPPERY AND CAUSE A FALL. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, A FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD, UNHEALTHY, AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD AND A WASTE OF VALUABLE RESOURCES. THERE IS NO WAY TO AVOID THE OCCURRENCE AS IT IS NOT RELATED TO THE SPEED OF FILLING OR WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE THE NOZZLE HANDLE LOCKED (MOST STATIONS HERE HAVE REMOVED THE LOCKS ANYWAY). *TR

HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW ON THREE DIFFERENT WINDOWS. WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD SHE WOULD HEAR A LOUD POW AND A WINDOW WOULD FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR FRAME. ALARMING HER AND SCARING HER CAUSING HER TO REACT IN A WAY THAT SHE COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. BOTH BACK WINDOWS AND NOW HER FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW HAS BEEN EFFECTED. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AMONG JEEP OWNERS. JEEP HAS YET TO PLACE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECTIVE PART (A PLASTIC CLIP ON THE WINDOW REGULATORS). JEEP DID SEND ME TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE OF OVER $100 PER WINDOW TO HAVE IT FIXED AND I'M TOLD THE FRONT WINDOWS COST EVEN MORE! THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART FROM THE FACTORY/DEALER CAUSING THE WINDOWS TO DROP INTO THE DOOR FRAME AT ANY TIME AS I STATED ABOVE, WHEN HERS DONE IT SHE COULD HAVE WRECKED FROM THE SOUND AND THEN THE RUSH OF AIR COMING INTO HER VEHICLE. SHE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND IF SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING AT INTERNET SPEEDS, PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL DUE TO THE INCIDENT. I URGE YOU TO HAVE JEEP FIX THIS ISSUE AND NOT A FIX TO WHERE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN, BUT A PERMANENT FIX!
