POWER TRAIN
WAS AT A STOP LIGHT,TURNED GREEN, AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC, IT POPPED OUT OF 1ST GEAR LEAVING ME STRANDED AS ONCOMING/OPPOSING TRAFFIC APPROACHED. NEARLY CAUSING A SEVER ACCIDENT.MY FAMILY WAS I. EXTREME DANGER OF BEING HIT HEAD ON BY A TRUCK GOING 45 MPH. (WITHIN HIS DESIGNATED SPEED LIMIT). HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES UNABLE TO DUPLICATE MY ISSUE BUT HAVE VIDEO DOCUMENTATION PROVING IT. THEIR IS CURRENTLY A TSB ON MY ISSUE BUT VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF JEEP KNEES W/THIS SAME ISSUE! HOW MANY PEOPLE/FAMILIES HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS IS A CALLED BACK FOR REPAIR BY THE CHRYSLER CORP. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER IS SPITTING OUT ABOUT A PINT OF GAS AT EVERY FILL UP JUST AFTER THE AUTO SHUT OFF FOR THE PUMP ENGAGES. IT RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY LEFT REAR QUARTER PANEL, ONTO THE BUMPER AND THEN ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS BOTH A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN. I AM CURRENTLY USING MY TRIP ODOMETER TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL I CAN PUT IN BASED ON MY ESTIMATED GAS MILEAGE AND MILES DRIVEN. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK ONTO THE FENDER AND GROUND. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS COMES OUT OF THE TANK WHEN THE PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS PUMPS AND GAS STATIONS. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND IS RELATED TO THE GAS CAP. I SUSPECT THIS OVERFLOW PROBLEM MAY HAVE DAMAGED THE VAPOR CANISTER AND IS THE ULTIMATE CAUSE OF THE CHECK ENGINE GAS CAP CODE. NO FIRE YET, BUT THE POTENTIAL IS A LOT GREATER WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED, REGARDLESS OF GAS STATION, THE GAS ALWAYS GUSHES OUT THE FILL SPOUT. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND THEN A RUSH OF AIR, FOLLOWED BY FULE SPITS OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE AMOUT OF FULE IS PROBABLY ON THE ORDER OF 2 CUPS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I NEVER TOP OFF AFTER THE PUMP STOPS. THIS FIRST OCCURRED A FEW YEARS AGO AND THEN DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN FOR A WHILE, BUT LATELY, IT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT, AND SEEMS TO BE WORSENING. AT FIRST, THE SPILL WOULD BE MINOR AND OCCURRED ONLY WHEN I TOOK THE NOZZLE OUT OF THE TANK. A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, GAS WAS SPILLING OUT OF MY TANK JUST AS THE PUMP STOPPED. TODAY, GAS WAS SQUIRTING OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO ME. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT POTENTIAL DANGERS OF SPILLED FUEL--FIRE, ENVIRONMENTAL, PERSONAL INJURY FROM CONTACT WITH GAS, DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
TODAY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH KIDS HIT A BUMP IN ROAD AT 35 MPH AND THE JEEP WENT INTO DEATH WOBBLE. THEN SOMETHING BROKE AND I LOST ALL STEERING POWER AND COULD NOT TURN WHEELS. ALMOST HAD A WRECK. WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE TO A PLACE TO LOOK AT IT THE STEERING BOX HAD BROKEN OFF. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
EVERY TIME SINCE FEBRUARY WHEN I HIT A BUMP THE JEEP STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I KEEP HEARING OF IT BEING THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. IT HAS TORN UP MY TIRES AND AFFECTED MANY PARTS AND NOW I CAN NOT EVEN HIT A BUMP AT 30 MPH WITHOUT IT STARTING TO SHAKE. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO TO FIX. I CALLED MY DEALER TO SEE WHAT THEY SUGGESTED AND THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE WHICH CHRYSLER HAD APPARENTLY SENT OUT A NOTICE TO ALL COMPANIES ABOUT IT. I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS. MY JEEP IS STOCK AND NEVER BEEN MODIFIED AND NEVER BEEN TAKEN OFF ROAD. IT IS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND NOW I JUST WANT TO GET RID OF IT! *TR

AIR BAGS, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LAST NIGHT I TURNED MY CAR ON...I NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED ON LONGER THAN USUAL IT WENT OF BUT A COUPLE MINUTES LATER IT LIGHTED UP AGAIN FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND FROM THEN IT HAS BEEN DOING IT, WHILE DRIVING IT I NOTICED THAT MY CRUISE CONTROL AND HORN ARE NOT WORKING. I READ A LOT ABOUT THE ISSUE AND I CAN FOR SURE SAY ITS THE CLOCK SPRING, THIS MAKES A LOT OF SENSE WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2009 I RECEIVED THE CAR WITH A BROKEN CLOCK SPRING I HAD TO GO BACK THE NEXT DAY SO THEY COULD REPLACE IT. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OUT. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL AUTO SERVICE. AFTER TESTING IT WAS FOUND THAT THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A NORMAL LEFT HAND DRIVE JEEP WRANGLER 2009. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM IN PREVIOUS YEARS AND WAS ON RECALL DURING THOSE YEARS. DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE LIGHT ON IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE YET RESOLVED BY JEEP. I AM LOOKING TO HAE MY MONEY REFUNDED FOR THE CORRECTION OF THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. I HAVE THE PART AND NUMBERS ARE ON THE PART. HOW DO I BACKTRACK THSES NUMBERS. THIS PART MAY HAVE BEEN A 2008 PART USED IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS PRODUCTION. *TR

AIR BAGS
WHILE DRIVING OFF ROAD ON A WASHBOARD TYPE SURFACE AT ABOUT 5 - 10 MPH WHEN MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER AND MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. (IT'S STILL COMES ON AND OFF). WHEN WE STOPPED THE BATTERY WAS HOT AND HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED AND REPLACED, ALSO WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT PROBLEM THE HORN HARDLY MAKES A SOUND. MY MECH SAYS THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AND IT'S A "RUBICON" :( *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
ANYTIME YOU HIT A POTHOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE GOES INTO A VIOLENT SHIMMY/SHAKE. WHEN THIS OCCURS YOU MUST EXIT THE ROADWAY IMMEDIATELY AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE YOU CAN GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS STRAIGHT FROM THE FACTORY, NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE. I WORK IN A GARAGE ON VEHICLES AND HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF MECHANICS OF VEHICLES. THERE IS NO BALL JOINTS, TIE RODS, BUSHINGS ETC. THAT HAS WEAR THAT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS VEHICLE TO HAVE THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. WHEN YOU CONTACT JEEP, THEY SAY TO REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER SHOCK. THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE JEEP. THIS IS WHY I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER SHOCK TWICE SO FAR. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
GAS IS EJECTED OUT OF FUEL FILLER WHEN TANK IS FILLED EVERYTIME. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS ALL WITH THE SAME RESULT OF ABOUT 3 CUPS OF FUEL EJECTED ON CAR AND THE GROUND. TWO SERVICE STATIONS HAVE ASKED THAT I DO NOT RETURN BECAUSE OF THE FUEL SPILL DANGER THIS CREATES AT THE SERVICE STATION. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP AND TWO DEALERSHIPS BOTH ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND RECALLED THE 2007 AND 2008 WRANGLERS FOR THIS BUT 2009 HAS NOT BEEN ADDED TO THE RECALL. THIS IS A FIRE AND EVIROMENTAL HAZARD TO HUMANS AND THE ENVIROMENT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, IT SPITS BACK ABOUT A PINT OR TWO OF GAS AFTER THE AUTO SHUTOFF ON THE GAS PUMP TURNS OFF. IT DOES THIS EVERY TIME NOW AT ANY GAS STATION. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE FIRE HAZARD OF SPILLED FUEL SHOOTING AROUND. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
THE WHOLE JEEP STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO HOLD ON TO. HAD TO SLOW DOWN ALMOST TO A STOP BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPPED. MY JEEP IS STOCK, AND THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE TRACKBAR WHICH SEEMED TO HELP FOR A WHILE, BUT IT'S BACK AGAIN. *TR

AIR BAGS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,691. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SUSPENSION, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH I EXPERIENCED A VIOLET SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE SPEED SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 15MPH. I RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND SOMEONE SAID JEEP USED A BOLT SMALLER THAN THE HOLE ON A TRACK BAR THAT CONNECTS THE FRONT AXLE TO THE VEHICLE AND THIS GETS WALLOWED OUT AND CAUSES THIS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERYTIME I FILL UP FOR GAS AND HAVE IT USE THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE TANK AND OVER MY CAR, I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 07 AND 08 WRANGLERS BUT SEEMS THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR ALL WRANGLERS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS TO A LOT OF PEOPLE NO MATTER THE YEAR. *TR
