LINES FROM TRANSMISSION TO COOLER LEAK TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH COULD CAUSE FIRE. HAVE READ AND HEARD ABOUT MANY OTHER VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SAW A LETTER ADDRESSING OLDER MODELS OF THIS VEHICLE BUT THEY TELL ME THAT MINE ISN'T COVERED BY THIS. *TR

STEERING, WHEELS
I HAVE A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED WITH 62K ON IT. I FIRST NOTICED A JAR AND SHAKING AFTER HITTING A BUMP A FEW MONTHS AGO AND DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF THIS, UNTIL TONIGHT!Y JEEP IS COMPLETELY STOCK. I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK AND HIT A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY WHOLE ENTIRE FRONT END COMPLETELY SHOOK WHERE I COULD BARELY CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN BUT WAS SCARED TO DEATH BECAUSE THERE WAS A SEMI BEHIND ME, WHEN I SLOWED DOWN IT DIDN'T DO IT ANYMORE! THIS IS SO DANGEROUS I GO ON MULTIPLE TRIPS WITH MY TWO SONS AND CAN'T IMAGINE TO SAFETY THAT IS AT RISK WITH THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION IN A JEEP. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AT THE END OF REFUELING, GAS WILL COME OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND SPILL ONTO THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND THE GROUND. THE CONDITION HAS GOTTEN WORSE AS THE TRUCK HAS AGED. EVEN WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO MAKE SURE THE NOZZLE IS INSERTED AS FAR AS POSSIBLE INTO THE FILLER NECK AND FILLING THE TANK ON THE LOWEST HANDLE SETTING, IT WILL STILL SPILL FUEL. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER TURNS ON AND OFF ESPECIALLY WHEN I TURN. NOT SURE IF THE AIRBAG WILL FUNCTION IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. FROM WHAT I'M READING IT SOUNDS LIKE A BAD CLOCKSPRING. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND A BACKPRESSURE SPRAYS FUEL OUT OF THE TANK ONTO THE PERSON FUELING. IT HAPPENS AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND PUMPS. IT ALSO HAPPENS IF THE PUMP HANDLE IS SET TO SHUT OFF OR IF THE PERSON FUELING IS HOLDING THE HANDLE. ON MOST OCCASIONS THE GAS STATION IS OPEN AND I AM ABLE TO WASH MY HANDS. ON SOME OCCASIONS WHEN THE GAS STATION IS CLOSED, THE FUEL VAPORS FROM MY HANDS HAVE CAUSED HEADACHES WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD TO DECIDE TO DEAL WITH IT OR DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN WHEN IT IS 5 DEGREES OUTSIDE. A LITTLE RESEARCH SHOWS, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE. IF IT IS SUCH A WELL KNOWN ISSUE, WHY IS IT NOT BEING CORRECTED? *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT 2 DOOR OVERFILLS THE GAS TANK EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND THEN A SURGE OF GASOLINE COMES OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND THE SIDE OF THE JEEP, THE GROUND AND MYSELF WERE SOAKED. TODAY I TRIED TO HOLD THE HANDLE, BUT ONCE THE TANK FILLED OUT CAME THE GAS. I HAVE TRIED OTHER NOZZLES AND THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. THIS JUST STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT 2 DOOR OVERFILLS THE GAS TANK EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THE FUEL SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE BACK PART OF THE VEHICLE AS IT SHUTS OFF ONLY AFTER FUEL IS SPILLING OUT. I HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE GAS FILLING SERVICE STATIONS OF DIFFERING BRANDS, AND ALL OF THEM OVERFILL. THIS JEEP HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SENSOR AS I HAVE CHECKED ON MULTIPLE JEEP FORUMS AND THEY ALL DO THIS. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL TO HAVE THE SENSOR/FUEL TANK REPLACED? *TR

DRIVING 25MPH IN THE CITY. CAME TO A STOP. TURNED LEFT AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE REST OF THE DRIVE THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND OFF WHEN MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS. I KNOW THE SYMPTOMS FROM OTHER OWNERS AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE CLOCK SPRING. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE WARNING CHIME. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND THE CHIME SOUNDED. I TOOK THE JEEP TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHO I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON LINE AND LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL OF JEEP. RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE CLOCK SPRINGS REPLACED, BUT THERE IS NO SUCH RECALL FOR THE LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES. THE ON LINE INFORMATION INDICATED THAT THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT, SO I HAD IT REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT MY EXPENSE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER AND OWNERS WHO'VE HAD THEIR CLOCK SPRINGS REPLACED FOR THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES ON MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER BEGAN TO LEAK AT THE HOSE-TO-TUBE CRIMP JOINTS. THERE WAS NO OTHER WEAR TO THE LINES - ONLY THE FAILURE OF THE HOSE-TO-CRIMP AREA. THE COOLER LINES HAD TO BE FULLY REPLACED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER ISSUED A DOCUMENT COVERING 2008-2010 JEEP WRANGLER ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES WEEPING AT THE HOSE-TO-TUBE CRIMP JOINTS, BUT THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO COVER MY VIN FOR THE YEAR. FURTHER VINS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE FIX, AS IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MORE JEEPS THAN THEY HAVE PREVIOUSLY INCLUDED. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A LHD JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SPORT. IT IS A 2010 AND THE ISSUE THAT IS OCCURRING IS THE CLOCKSPRING HAS GONE BAD. THE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE AIR BAG IN ABOUT MAY AND ONCE I SAW HOW MUCH IT WAS TO FIX IT I JUST DECIDED TO DEAL WITH THE ANNOYING BEEP. AFTER RESEARCHING JEEP FORUMS, I'VE SEEN THAT CHRYSLER CORP HAS BEEN PRETTY NEGLIGENT IN ADDRESSING THE ISSUE BY SAYING THE RECALL ONLY APPLIES FOR RHD VEHICLES. IF YOU'RE HAVING NUMEROUS REPORTS OF A PROBLEM BUT IN A LHD VEHICLE WHY WOULDN'T YOU OWN UP TO IT? I'M NOT SURE IF PEOPLE NEED TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THEY OWN UP TO IT OR WHAT BUT ITS PRETTY RIDICULOUS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
GAS WILL OVERFLOW AT VERY FILL UP, ESPECIALLY WHEN USING THE AUTO-FILL LEVER LATCH ON THE PUMP HANDLE. MANY TIMES, THE GAS HAS SPRAYED AND SOAKED THE ATTENDANT FILLING MY CAR (I LIVE IN NJ AND CANNOT FILL THE VEHICLE MYSELF). THE IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AS MANY GALLONS HAVE BEEN SPILLED DURING SINGLE INCIDENTS. MOST RELEASES ARE APPROXIMATELY A 1/10 OF A GALLON OR LESS BUT ONCE A MONTH OR SO, IT IS VERY SEVERE AND WILL CONTINUE TO SPRAY GAS UNTIL SOMEONE MANUALLY RELEASES THE LEVER. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
THE PROBLEM HAPPENED 3 TIMES. TWO AT VERY LOW SPEEDS DURING THE DAY, AND ONCE AT NIGHT AT HIGH SPEED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING THE JEEP AND THE ENGINE STALLED. IT WAS HARD TO STEER, BUT I WAS MOVING SLOW. I THOUGHT IT WAS A WEIRD FLUKE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT WITH NO PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME IT MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, WE HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE JEEP STALLED. THE BREAKS DON'T WORK WELL, AND THE STEERING IS DIFFICULT. HE PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT WITH NO PROBLEM. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED, WAS ON JANUARY 10, 2015. I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH MY CHILD ON A LONG TRIP. I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE JEEP FOR SEVERAL HOURS ON THE INTERSTATE. IT HAPPENED AT AROUND 10:00 PM - IT WAS VERY DARK. I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE GOING ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED, THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WENT OUT, DASHBOARD WENT DARK, AND I KNEW FROM THE PREVIOUS TWO TIMES, THAT IF I APPLIED THE BREAKS OR TRIED TO STEER, IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT. I DECIDED THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO LOOK DOWN AND TRY TO FIND NEUTRAL AND ACCIDENTALLY PUT IT IN A LOW GEAR. SO I TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON (ENGINE, LIGHT INSIDE AND OUT, POWER STEERING, AND POWER BREAKS) WHILE THE JEEP WAS IN DRIVE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANS RANGE SENSOR WENT BAD. MY MAIN CONCERN IS - WHY IS THE ENGINE STALLING AND JEEP LOSING ALL POWER WHILE MOVING WHEN THE SENSOR GOES BAD? THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT TO LET ME KNOW A SENSOR WAS BAD. ARE ALL JEEPS DESIGNED WITH THIS SENSOR, AND WILL ALL JEEPS EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING IF THEIR TRANS RANGE SENSOR GOES BAD, OR WAS IT JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED WITH MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE? *TR

AIR BAGS, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS I WOULD GET AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND CHIME ASSOCIATED WITH STEERING INPUTS. CONTACTED SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAID NO RECALL EXISTS AND IM OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. LOOKED UP RECALLS AND FAILED COMPONENTS COMMON TO MY COMPLAINT. FOUND THE EXACT PROBLEM ON MY JEEP UP TO 2009 AND ANOTHER RECALL FOR MY YEAR JEEP BUT ONLY RIGHT HANDED STEERING MODELS. DID MORE RESEARCH AND THE SAME PART NUMBER COMPONENT IS USED IN ALL OF THEM IN THIS YEAR GROUP BUT MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED. THIS IS A GROSS NEGLECT TO ADDRESS A KNOW SAFETY CONCERN AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE JEEP WAS BOUGHT NEW, AND AIRBAGS SHOULD BE WARRANTIED FOR LONGER THAN 36,000 MILES. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE BEING RECALLED FOR EVERY YEAR AND MODEL AROUND MINE AND I HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR
