FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER WITH GAS, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS - OFTEN SO MUCH THAT IT SPILLS ONTO THE GROUND. NO MATTER HOW SLOWLY OR CAUTIOUSLY I PUMP THE FUEL, IT STILL OVERFLOWS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THERE IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE MATTER AND FOUND THAT APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I ASK THAT THIS BE DEEMED A RECALL - AND THAT THE COMPANY PAYS TO FIX IT. THIS MALFUNCTION COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND OTHER ISSUES RELATED TO GASOLINE EXPOSURE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
It has been a common known issue for at least the past year for Chrysler/JEEP to have faulty ABS modules in their vehicles. The ABS control module is a microprocessor that runs diagnostic checks of a vehicle's antilock braking system and processes information from wheel-speed sensors and the hydraulic brake system to determine when to release braking pressure at a wheel that's about to lock up and start skidding. It is probably one of the most important parts of a vehicle to make it safe. My local Jeep dealership said to me today that Chrysler plans to be able to allow them to order this part in February of 2023. I feel this is unacceptable, very unsafe and lives can be lost if the production of this part does not come sooner.

Hi.. My Jeep has the death wobble and that my Jeep is not included in the recall due ; according to the Jeep dealership. The recall has expired for my 2009 Jeep Wrangler. My kids and grand was in the car when my Jeep after hitting a bump started shaking in the middle of the highway. Please help me. I would get it fix on my own, but I can not afford it and this should not happen when it's a known issue and a safety issue. I can be reached at [XXX]. Thanks [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Any time you fuel this vehicle the fuel gushes out of the filler neck. We have tried several different fueling stations . Different times of the day and night. Nothing changes , the fuel still blows out. Sometimes even if you pump slow it will still spew back out. Not every station has the rubber splash guards on their nozzles. The reason this is a danger is very obvious. Gasoline has a low flash point , not to mention the health risk of the vapors. One freak spark unrelated to me fueling could have deadly consequences. I spoke to jeep headquarters about this issue. They refused to give me the lot number for the faulty fuel tanks. The fuel tanks that had issues was on 2008 and earlier jeep Wranglers. Our jeep was manufactured in 2/2009 and from what I have gathered uses the exact same tank as the 2008 and earlier tanks back to a certain year. Is it to far fetched to believe that the tank installed could be faulty , just like the earlier ones. Just so we are clear this has been occuring since we purchased the jeep and continues to. I would like jeep to replace the tank or the valve in the tank. They could install the retro fit repair . I don't feel as an owner we should have the Burden of replacing the tank.

SERVICE BRAKES
LESS THAN 30 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA, I WAS DRIVING IT AND WENT TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE, MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN SLIGHTLY BUT NOT AS MUCH AS IT NORMALLY DID, IT PULLED TO THE LEFT, AND WOBBLED WHENEVER I PRESSED THE BRAKES CAUSING ME TO MOMENTARILY LOOSE CONTROL AS A RESULT OF IT FISH TAILING. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP OR SLOW THE VEHICLE IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME AS IT NORMALLY TOOK TO DO SO. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO AN AUTO MECHANIC. I TOOK IT TO POPE DAVIS TIRE & AUTOMOTIVE LOCATED AT 631 S ASSEMBLY STREET IN COLUMBIA SOUTH CAROLINA WHERE I WAS TOLD MY THE MANAGER, [XXX] THAT THE FLUID WENT BAD AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO ALL 2 HYDRAULIC HOSES, FRONT BRAKES, CALIPERS, AND ROTORS, AND THAT THEY ALONG WITH MY PADS ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT COST ME APPROXIMATELY $880. I FOUND OUT LATER THAT THERE WAS AN RECALL ON THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. HOWEVER, MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER DID NOT HAVE THIS RECALL. I FEEL THAT IT WAS OVERLOOKED AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. *BF CONSUMER STATED THE LEAKAGE COULD OF BEEN DUE TO RIGHT AND LEFT FRONT INNER FENDER LINERS CAUSED BY WEAR OF TUBES. *JB INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STEERING, WHEELS
THE JEEP HAS LESS THAN 40.000 IS AND IS NOT USED OFF ROAD. ABOUT 55MPH THE FRONT END GETS A OUT OF CONTROL WOBBLE. YOU HAVE TO SLOW WAY DOWN FOR IT TO STOP. IT HAS DONE A FEW TIMES BEFORE. THE LAST TIME IT WAS 4/29/20.THE TRACK BAR WAS REPLACED WITH OEM PART AND STILL DOES IT. IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF WRANGLER JEEPS. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. DOING SOME RESEARCH IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. THIS JEEP IT COMPLETELY STOCK WITH THE SAME TIRES IT CAME WITH NEW.
