STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 65 MPH I ENCOUNTERED A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT OF THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CHECKED FOR ANY VISIBLE ISSUES, BUT FOUND NOTHING, SO I CONTINUED WITH MY TRIP. THIS OCCURRED AGAIN LATER THAT SAME DAY IN VERY SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES, I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 65 MPH HIT A DIP IN THE ROAD, AT A TRANSITION WHERE THE BRIDGE OVERPASS MEETS THE ASPHALT, THE CAR AGAIN BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, AND I HAD TO STOP THE VEHICLE AGAIN TO REGAIN CONTROL AND STOP THE SHAKING. AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH I LEARNED THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH JEEPS KNOW AS THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DURING REFUELING FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS WE HAVE EXPERIENCE FUEL SPIT BACK. THIS HAS RESULTED IN FUEL SPILLING ON PERSON DOING THE REFUELING, FUEL ON VEHICLE AND GROUND, ENOUGH WERE THE ATTENDANT MUST CLEAN UP EXCESS FUEL ON THE GROUND. THIS IS NEAR THE EXHAUST, EXTREME FIRE DANGER,AND PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT 2007-2008 JEEPS HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. CHRYSLER HAS HAD THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS. MY GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS THE CHECK VALVE IS IN THE TANK AT A COST OF $600.00 + LABOR & TAX. RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THIS MATTER GETS INVESTIGATED PRIOR TO MAJOR INCIDENT INVOLVING EXPLOSION AND/ OR FIRE. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT A YEAR AGO I STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. I WAS TOLD IT IS CALLED THE CLOCK SPRING. WITH A BAD CLOCK SPRING, MY HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK, AND ALSO MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE KNOWING MY AIR BAGS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ALSO, WITH A BAD CLOCK SPRING THERE ARE CHANCES OF MY AIR BAG ACTIVATING RANDOMLY FOR NO REASON SO THAT REALLY WORRIES ME. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN WRECKED INTO SEVERAL TIMES AND I AM NOT ABLE TO HONK MY HORN. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, I WAS BASICALLY TOLD THAT IT HAS BEEN A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN 2008-2012 JK JEEP WRANGLERS BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT. I FIGURED THERE WOULD BE A RECALL FOR IT SINCE IT IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT ONLY THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEP WRANGLERS HAD A CLOCK SPRING RECALL. I BELIEVE THE RECALL NUMBER FOR THOSE ARE M31 AND L37. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE LEFT HAND DRIVE 2009 JK JEEP WRANGLERS ARE EXCLUDED FROM THIS RECALL. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS AND I FEEL UNSAFE KNOWING MY AIR BAGS MAY NOT WORK AND ALSO KNOWING I COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF MY AIR BAGS GO OFF RANDOMLY. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I KNOW MORE JEEPS LIKE MINE THAT ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF THIS ISSUE COULD BE LOOKED INTO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY JEEP SHUT DOWN. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC TRYING TO MISS CARS BUT I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOOK IT TO THE SHOP. THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY TIPM MODULE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOMEONE CONTACT CHRYSLER TO HAVE THEM PUT IN A RECALL SO THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. *TR

AIR BAGS
WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET MY AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND I GOT AN AUDIBLE CHIME. THE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF EVERY 10-15 MILES AND CHIME EACH TIME. NOW, NEARLY A MONTH LATER, THE LIGHT STAYS ON ALMOST ALL THE TIME. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, I'VE FOUND THAT THE LIKELY CAUSE OF THIS IS THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. IT LOOKS LIKE IF IT'S NOT CORRECTED THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE AIR BAG WON'T GO OFF IN THE CASE OF A COLLISION. I KNOW THAT CERTAIN YEAR MODEL OF THE WRANGLER ARE COVERED BY A PREVIOUS RECALL. I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE THE RECALL EXTENDED TO ALL YEAR MODELS THAT UTILIZED THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY AIRBAG LIGHTS KEEPS TURNING OFF AND ON AT DIFFERENT TIMES. LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE JEEP HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON MOST VEICHLES AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING. I CALLED MY DEALER AND I WAS TOLD I AM NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL DUE TO WHERE MY JEEP WAS MADE. SO THAT BEING SAID A COMPANY THAT TOOK OUR TAX PAYERS DOLLARS AND GOT BAILED OUT CANT HELP MAKE SURE A JEEPER OWNERS AIRBAGS WILL WORK! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER OVERFILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME I TRY AND FILL-UP. IT HAS GOTTEN TOT HE POINT THAT I GENERALLY TRY AND STOP FILLING UP AT ABOUT 3/4 OF A TANK IF I CAN, BUT IF I ALLOW IT TO FILL AON ITS OWN, IT OVERFILLS AND SPLASHES OUT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FILLING UP GAS AT STATION - SPLASH BACK ON 2 OCCASIONS, TODAY (03 FEBRUARY 2014) AND LAST WEEK (26 JANUARY 2014), THE GAS NOZZLE WAS IN THE AUTOMATIC POSITION. IN BOTH TIMES, A SPLASH BACK OF GASOLINE OCCURRED WHEN THE GAS NOZZLE REACHED THE FULL LEVEL AND THE HANDLE CLICKED. THIS OCCURRED AT 2 DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. APPROXIMATE 1-CUP OF GAS SPLASHED OUT AT EACH OCCURRENCE. I DROVE HOME AND WASHED THE SPLASH AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER. END *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I FOUND LEAKING TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES ON MY JEEP WRANGLER. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER/JEEP BY PHONE TO INQUIRE ABOUT A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION L05 TRANSMISSON OIL COOLER LINES ISSUE PERTAINING TO TSB: 2008-2010 JK WRANGLER: TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER LINES MAY WEEP TRANSMISSION FLUID. TSB: 2008-2010 JK WRANGLER: TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER LINES MAY WEEP TRANSMISSION FLUID SUBJECT: EXTENDED WARRANTY -TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER LINES MAY WEEP TRANSMISSION FLUID AT THE HOSE TO TUBE CRIMP JOINTS (7 YEARS OR 70,000 MILES WARRANTY EXTENSION) OVERVIEW: THIS BULLETIN INVOLVES INSTALLING NEW TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER SUPPLY & RETURN LINE ASSEMBLY. MODELS: 2008 -2010 (JK) WRANGLER NOTE: THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY BULLETIN APPLIES TO VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.8L ENGINE (SALES CODE EGT) AND AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (SALES CODE DGV) BUILT BEFORE MARCH 10, 2010 (MDH0410XX). SYMPTOM/CONDITION: WEEPING TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER LINES AT THE HOSE-TO-TUBE CRIMP JOINTS. DIAGNOSIS: IF THE SYMPTOM/CONDITION IS EXPERIENCED PROCEED TO THE REPAIR PROCEDURE. I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THIS AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. IF THESE LINES WERE TO BURST OR OPEN UP ENOUGH TO SPRAY FLUID IT WOULD IGNITE OFF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND BURN THE VEHICLE TO THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL JEEP OWNERS I HAVE FOUND IN MY RESEARCH AND ONE OWNER HAD THEIR VEHICLE BURN EVEN AFTER THE LINES WERE IMPROPERLY REPLACED BY A DEALERSHIP EVEN. MY JEEP MEETS ALL THE CRITERIA IN THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION L05 YET I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T COVERED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN HAS MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING AIRBAGS TO BE DISABLED. THIS IS A VERY WIDE SPREAD ISSUE ON 07-2011 JEEP WRANGLERS, WELL DOCUMENTED ON MANY OWNER BOARDS. AN OFFICIAL RECALL EXISTS, BUT ONLY FOR RHD MODELS AND 2007 LHD MODELS. THAT IS IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE FAILURE PRONE OE PART WAS USED ON WRANGLER MODELS THROUGH 2011. THE PART NUMBER OF THE IMPROVED DESIGN REPLACEMENT PART IS 5156106AC, WHICH SERVICES ALL WRANGLES 2007-2014. *TR
