FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL SPITS BACK WHEN FUELING. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTHING WE FUEL UP AND IS CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER TELLS ME THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OFFERED FOR 2007 AND 2008 JEEP WRANGLERS BUT MY 2009 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

SUSPENSION
I HAVE A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON. I DROVE CROSS COUNTRY IN 2010 (MILITARY MOVE) AND GOT THE TIRES ROTATED AFTER THE LONG DRIVE. WHEN I DID, WHILE DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON DC, MY CAR STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO FALL OFF THE SIDE OF THE BRIDGE AND FALL INTO THE WATER 100 FEET DOWN. LUCKILY IT STOPPED ONCE I SLOWED DOWN TO UNDER 10 MILES PER HOUR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY BLAMED THE TIRES. THEY NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE KNOWN DEATH WOBBLE, SO WHILE I DIDN'T FULLY BELIEVE IT, I JUST REPLACED THE TIRES AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES FOR A WHILE. I RECENTLY MOVED TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS SUMMER FOR WORK, AND HAVE TO NOW DRIVE OVER MORE BUMPY WINDY MOUNTAIN ROADS. NOW, ANY TIME I AM DRIVING OVER 45MPH ON THESE WINDY ROADS, PARTICULARLY WHEN GOING DOWNHILL, THE WHOLE JEEP SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAVEN'T GONE OFF THE SIDE OF A CLIFF YET - BUT I FEEL LIKE I MIGHT AT ANY POINT DURING ONE OF THESE DRIVES. AND WHERE I LIVE NOW, I HAVE TO DRIVE THESE ROADS, WHICH IS SCARY FOR MY WIFE AND I AND OUR TWO YOUNG KIDS. THE JEEP IS ALMOST PAID OFF - BUT NOT YET, SO I'D TRADE IT IN, BUT WILL LOSE ALOT OF MONEY TO DO THAT - AND WAS HOPING TO HAVE THIS JEEP FOR YEARS AFTER I PAID OFF THE JEEP - BUT AM NOT SO SURE NOW. I ALSO WAS A LOYAL JEEP CUSTOMER, UNTIL NOW.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL SPILLS EVERY TIME THAT I FILL UP THE TANK DURING THE WINTER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP WRANGLERS, BUT NOT WITH THIS MODEL YEAR/VIN. ALTHOUGH I HAVE ENTERED TODAYS DATE BELOW, THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I JUST PURCHASED THE JEEP 2 MONTHS AGO AND EVER SINGLE TIME WITHOUT EXCEPTION I GET FUEL SPIT BACK WHEN FUELING THE JEEP. WHEN FUELING THE JEEP THE NOZZLE AT THE PUMP WILL CUT OFF AND 1-2 SECONDS LATER GAS COMES SHOOTING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. TODAY 3/2/2016 I COULD HEAR THE SOUND CHANGE JUST BEFORE THE NOZZLE CUT OFF AND TRIED TO STOP FUELING BEFORE THE SPIT BACK BUT WAS STILL TO LATE. THE BEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND SHUT OFF AT THE GAS STATION. THIS HAPPENS WEATHER IT IS HOT OR COLD HIGH ELEVATION OR LOWER. DENVER IS/WAS 60 DEGREES TODAY. 5280 ELEVATION. LAST WEEKEND IN WINTER PARK 28 DEGREES AND OVER 9000 ELEVATION. NEXT TIME I FILL UP I WILL FILM THE SPIT BACK.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY JEEP AND USE THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF ON THE PUMP, IT WILL SHUT OFF AND THEN PUKE SOME GAS OUT THE FILLER HOLE AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. JEEP WON'T COVER IT BECAUSE IT WASNT A 2007 OR 2008 MY WITH SAME KNOWN ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK WITH GAS IT OVER FLOWS. I HAVE TO TRY AND LISTEN FOR THE SOUND OF THE FUEL LEVEL GETTING CLOSE SO I CAN LET GO OF THE PUMP HANDLE IN TIME SO IT DOESN'T FLOW OVER BUT MANY TIMES WITH THE NOISE OF THE STATION I'M TOO LATE AND IT DUMPS FUEL DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR, SOMETIMES EVEN SPRAYING OUT THE TOP AND SHOOTING GAS OVER ME. IT'S DISGUSTING AND WASTES A LOT OF FUEL. I GO HOME STINKING LIKE GAS AND IT'S DANGEROUS! PLEASE MAKE CHRYSLER FIX THIS ISSUE. THE 'WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN' QUESTION BELOW DOESN'T REALLY APPLY TO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP. I CHOSE THE DATE OF MY LAST FILL UP.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN ON I WOULD HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY TURN THE IGNITION AND FINALLY IT WILL TURN ON. THE VEHICLE HAS RECENTLY BEGAN STALLING AND TURNING OFF WHEN I WOULD BE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND VIBRATING VERY SCARELY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO MY MACHANIC WHO STATED IT NEEDED TO HAVE A TUNEUP BECAUSE IT WAS MISFIRING ON FIVE CYLINDERS INSTEAD OF SIX CYLINDERS. THE WAS DONE BUT FIVE DAYS LATER THE PROBLEM RETURNED AND THIS TIME THE TAILLIGHT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ALONE WITH THE RIGHT SIDE SIGNAL LIGHT WERE BOTH OUT. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JEEP WHO CHARGED ME $140 JUST TO TELL ME THAT IT WOULD COST ME ANOTHER $870 TO REPLACE THE TIPM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD BE HAPPENING ON A VEHICLE WITH 72,000 MILES IF IT WAS NOT DEFECTED TO BEGIN WITH. BARBARA KING

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON CONSISTENTLY ON MY 2009 JEEP JK WRANGLER INDICATING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING. I'VE LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THE PROBLEM IS MOST LIKELY RELATED TO A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING.

AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND REVIEWING RECALL INFORMATION JEEP HAS RECALLED CLOCK SPRINGS ON RIGHT HAND DRIVE WRANGLERS ONLY. HOWEVER, THE SAME ISSUES ARE OCCURRING ON THE LEFT HAND DRIVE MODELS AS WELL. REGARDLESS OF RHD OR LHD JEEP USES THE SAME PART NUMBER. THEY SHOULD ALL BE RECALLED, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR JEEP OWNERS EVERYWHERE INCLUDING MYSELF.

ON THE 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD (MILEAGE 79,600), THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING.

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH COMES ON AND STAYS ON. WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL SHARPLY, THE LIGHT GOES OFF AND THEN COMES BACK ON AGAIN WHEN COMING OUT OF THE TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE AND I WAS TOLD THE CLOCK SPRING WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT SIMILAR JEEPS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS AND THAT THE INVESTIGATION HAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MY MODEL AND YEAR AS WELL. ATTACHED IS THE ESTIMATE FROM THE DEALER SHOWING THE NEED FOR REPAIR.
