TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
I HAVE A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER THAT I RUN ON MAIL ROUTES. THE TPMS ALWAYS GOES OFF AND I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THIS. FOR SAFETY REASONS, I PUT THE SPARE TIRE INSIDE SO I HAVE A BETTER VIEW IN MY REAR WINDOW SO I CAN SEE WHO IS BEHIND ME. I DROVE THE JEEP A FEW MONTHS LIKE THIS AND HAD NO PROBLEM THEN ONE DAY THE TPMS LIGHT AND CHIME GOES OFF EACH TIME I START THE JEEP. THE DEALERSHIP IS GUESSING IT MIGHT BE THE SPARE TIRE THAT IS INSIDE. I EMAILED CHRYSLER A NUMBER OF TIMES TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP EXCUSE IS THE SPARE TIRE IS ON THE INSIDE INSTEAD OF THE OUTSIDE. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET THIS FIXED OR IS THERE NOTHING I CAN DO AT ALL BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO HELP? WOULD THIS NOT BE AGAINST THE LAW IF THIS IS FAULTY AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME IT WOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW TO TURN THE TPMS OFF OR LOWER THE POUNDS PER TIRE? THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WENT OVER ALL THE TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS FROM CHRYSLER AND THEY CAN NOT FIND THE ISSUE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE AT A REASONABLE SAFE SPEED TO MERGE WITH INTERSTATE TRAFFIC IN THE GIVEN DISTANCE ALLOWED FOR MERGING. WHEN ACCELERATING TO A SPEED OF 60-65 MPH AND THE VEHICLES ENGINE REACHES AN INDICATED RPM OF APPROX 3500-4000 RPM, THE VEHICLE WILL CEASE TO ACCELERATE AND ACTUALLY DECELERATE WHILE THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE RPM CONTINUES TO INCREASE UNTIL THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. THE DRIVER HAS TO RELEASE FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO ALLOW THE ENGINE RPM TO DROP BELOW AN RPM OF 3500 AND THE VEHICLE TO RESUME ACCELERATION. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN 2012 MY VEHICLE ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY THAT RESULTED IN GASOLINE SPITTING OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE WHILE I WAS FILLING IT UP AT THE GAS STATION. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED IT UNDER WARRANTY ON DECEMBER 3, 2012. ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2014; THE EXACT SAME FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN. ALMOST 5 GALLONS OF GASOLINE SPILLED OUT BEFORE I COULD SHUT THE PUMP OFF WHICH RESULTED IN MY CLOTHS BEING SATURATED WITH FUEL AND A HAZMAT SPILL THAT CAUSED THE GAS STATION TO SHUT DOWN UNTIL IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF. THIS IS CAUSING BOTH A HAZARDOUS SPILL IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL PERSONS SURROUNDING THE AREA. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $1,400 TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY STATED THAT THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL OR TECHNICAL BULLETIN IN PLACE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I'M OWNED THE JEEP FOR ABOUT A MONTH. I'VE FILLED THE TANK 4 TIMES AND TWICE THE FUEL TANK HAS OVERFLOWED. IT SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT I'M SEEING WAS RECALLED EARLIER. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE CLOCK SPRING UNIT IS EXPERIENCING A BROKEN AIRBAG CIRCUIT. THE AIRBAG INDICATOR REPEATEDLY CHIMES AND ILLUMINATES A DASH PANEL INDICATOR. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR RHD, BUT NOT FOR LHD. THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTS ON LHD. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND WELL KNOW ISSUE AMONG JEEP OWNERS. PLEASE CHRYSLER, FIX THIS DEFECT. ADDITIONALLY MY HORN HAS NEVER OPERATED PROPERLY; IT EITHER DOESN'T ACTIVATE WHEN PRESSED OR WILL REMAIN ON AFTER PRESSED AND YOU HAVE TO HIT THE HORN OVER AN OVER TO GET IT TO STOP. ALSO MY CRUISE CONTROL HAS STOPPED WORKING. ALL OF THESE GO THROUGH THE CLOCK SPRING. *TR

WANT TO UPDATE ODI #10629109 WITH THIS INFORMATION: AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ELIMINATED AND STARTED A SEQUENCE OF 2 BELLS, LIGHT ON FOR APRX 10 SECONDS, THEN OFF FOR SAME, THEN SEQUENCE STARTS AGAIN. DEALER DIAGNOSED A BROKEN CLOCK SPRING BUT MY VIN NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL INFO I PROVIDED THEM.

WHEN ASKED WHAT GRIEVANCE PROCESS WAS AVAILABLE TO ME, SHE SAID NONE. COMPLAINT #25543107 WAS FILED AND SHE SAID I WILL BE CONTACTED IF MY VIN IS ADDED TO THE RECALL. SHE COULD NOT TELL ME WHY WOULD MY VEHICLE DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL? I PAID FOR THE REPAIRS AND RETAINED THE BROKEN PART;, WHICH THE TEC SAID WAS CLEARLY BROKEN WHILE STILL IN THE COLUMN AND CAME OUT IN PIECES. WHILE THE WARNING LAMP WAS ELIMINATED IT AFFECTED THE STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE AND CAUSED SWAY OR WANDERING WHEN AT HIGH SPEED ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
INITIALLY, AFTER MODERATE ACCELERATION FROM A STOP TO 35 MPH, ENGINE ELICITS A NEW LOUD RATTLING SOUND. THIS SOUND DIRECTLY CORRESPONDS TO ENGINE RPM DRAMATICALLY INCREASING WITH RPM OVER 2000. WHEN DECELERATING FROM A HIGHER RPM, THE SOUND INCREASES UNTIL MODERATE ACCELERATION IS AGAIN APPLIED. THE SOUND EMANATES FROM THE UPPER RIGHT ENGINE AREA AT ALL TIMES DURING ENGINE OPERATION. THIS SOUND FIRST OCCURRED WITHIN ONE WEEK OF A DEALER OIL CHANGE AND CONTINUES UNCHANGED AFTER 1400 MILES. THERE IS NO NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN VEHICLE PERFORMANCE. GAS MILEAGE EFFICIENCY HAS DECREASED BY ONE TO TWO MILES PER GALLON. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
AFTER BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE, STOPPING AND PLACING JEEP IN DRIVE, VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MOVE IN REVERSE. DASH DISPLAY CONTINUED TO INDICATE CAR WAS IN REVERSE. VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARK AND THE IGNITION TURNED OFF. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. TRIED DISCONNECTING BATTERY BUT DID NOT RESET. ALSO TRIED THE MANUAL OVERRIDE, WHICH DID ALLOW SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL, HOWEVER VEHICLE WOULD STILL NOT START. DISPLAY CONTINUED TO SHOW VEHICLE IN REVERSE REGARDLESS OF SHIFTING TO DIFFERENT GEARS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DANGEROUS SITUATION, WITH POTENTIAL FOR INJURIES TO THOSE IN THE PARKING LOT. ALSO, COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT HAD IT OCCURRED AT AN INTERSECTION OR OTHER LOCATION. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? THIS SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING IN MANY JEEP/CHRYSLER PRODUCTS BASED ON VEHICLE FORUMS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS OF THE JEEP SPORADICALLY GO OFF. YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY WILL WORK. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU START THE CAR UP THEY WON'T WORK, BUT THE MOST DANGEROUS IS WHEN THEY GO OFF WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND HAVE NO IDEA THAT THEY HAVE SHUT OFF. THE HIGH BEAMS WON'T WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS, BUT THE PARKING AND FOG LIGHTS CAN BE USED AS SOME KIND OF BACK UP. *TR

THE 'AIR BAG' LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME AND A DODGE TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY "CLOCKSPRING" I HAD READ ABOUT AS BEING A DEFECT IN ONLINE FORUMS. THE REPAIR WILL COST ME 500.00 AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN PAID OFF; ADDITIONALLY, THE DEALER/TECH TOLD ME THE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY WITHOUT THE REPAIR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED DURING THE ENGINEERING PHASE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING UP MY GAS TANK WITH FUEL ON MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, THE TANK HAS OVERFLOWED. THE TANK CUTS OFF AT 17.5 GALLONS AND UPON CUTTING UP IT SPEWS FUEL FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK. THIS HAS CAUSE FUEL TO SPILL ONTO ME AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE STAINING THE GAS CAP AND SIDE FENDERS. THERE IS ALSO GREAT RISK TO THE PAINT ON THE VEHICLE WITH CONTINUED FUEL EXPOSURE. THERE IS GREAT SAFETY CONCERN FOR GAS SPILLING OUT AT A GAS STATION. THIS COULD LEAD TO FIRE OR GAS SPILLING ON MY SMALL CHILDREN IF THEY WERE TO BE STANDING WITH ME. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
BACK IN 2011, MY JEEP STARTED SPITTING GAS WHEN FILLING IT UP. AFTER THE GAS PUMP AUTO FILL STOPPED PUMPING GAS, IT SPIT FUEL BACK OUT AT ME. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING WITH JEEP DEALERS FREQUENTLY THINKING THAT A CHRYSLER RECALL WOULD COME OUT. THE LATEST TIME WAS THIS WEEK AND NO RECALL. I DECIDED TO SEARCH THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS SITE AND DECIDED TO REPORT THE FAULTY GAS TANK. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I TURN RIGHT IT GOES OUT. AS I STRAIGHTEN OUT IT COMES BACK ON. RESEARCH SAYS IT'S A CLOCK SPRING SENSOR OR MODULE BASED ON HOW IT GOES ON AND OFF WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED. CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND $400 FOR THE PART AND LABOR. THIS IS A DEVICE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON MANY OTHER JK JEEPS, YET THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE 2010. ADDITIONALLY I HAVE A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WARRANTY AND THEY SAID IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER THAT WARRANTY EITHER. THIS IS CRAZY. *TR
