FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE PAST 3 TIMES FILLING UP THE 2009 WRANGLER, FUEL GUSHED OUT OF THE TANK WHEN THE PUMP SHUT OFF. I TRIED DIFFERENT FUEL PUMPS EACH TIME, AND THEY WERE NOT THE CAUSE. I LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND RECALLED ON THE 07 AND 08 YEAR GROUPS, BUT NOT RECALLED ON THE 09 YEAR. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX IMMEDIATELY. *TR

AIR BAGS
ABOUT THREE OR FOUR DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, I NOTICED UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE(2009 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON - LHD), THAT THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WAS LIT, INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG WAS NOT FUNCTIONING. I HAD NOTICED PREVIOUSLY THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON, AND THEN GO AWAY, SO I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. HOWEVER, ON THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT, AS I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND WAS TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A THIN PLASTIC WRAPPER "CRINKLING" AS IF CAUGHT BETWEEN THE STATIONARY PART OF THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE ROTATING REAR SECTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN I STOPPED THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED A FLAT STRIP PLASTIC ENCASED COPPER WIRE LEADS APPEARED TO BE UNRAVELING FROM BETWEEN THE STATIONARY PORTION OF THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE ROTATING REAR SECTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO MY AUTO REPAIR GARAGE, AND THE TECHNICIAN IDENTIFIED THE PART AS THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY. THE ASSEMBLY APPARENTLY FAILED DURING NORMAL VEHICLE USE AND NOW RESULTS IN A REDUCED LEVEL OF PROTECTION FOR MYSELF IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENT. AFTER RESEARCHING THE MATTER, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF 2008, 2009 AND 2010 JEEP WRANGLERS (LHD) HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR FAILURES WITH THEIR AIRBAGS. THE REPAIR GARAGE ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON RHD JEEP WRANGLERS OF THE SAME MODEL YEARS FOR THE SAME ASSEMBLY. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE DOWN THE INTERSTATE FOR ABOUT 10 MIN AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 72MILES PER HR, MY JEEP STARTED SHAKING FROM THE FRONT AND BACK. IT WAS SO INTENSE I FELT AS THOUGH I WAS GOING TO CRASH. I HAVE HAD TIRES BLOW AND U JOINTS GO BAD AND THIS DIDN'T COMPARE. I DON'T DRIVE IN A ROUGH TERRAIN AND NOT OFTEN AT THESE SPEEDS. BUT I FELT AS THOUGH I HAD NO CONTROL. WHEN I DECELERATED TO 50 THE SHAKING HAD STOPPED. THERE HAD BEEN NO PREVIOUS WARNING OF THIS PROBLEM. WHEN TAKING IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND MY UNIVERSALS NEED REPLACED, AXLE SEALS ARE BAD AND MY DRIVE SHAFT NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN DRIVING AT 50 MPH OR ABOVE ( HIGHWAY SPEEDS) AND HIT A BUMP THE WHOLE VECHILE WILL SHAKE SO VIOENTLY THAT YOU THINK YOU ARE LITERALLY GOING TO DIE. IF YOU STEP ON THE BRAKES, IT ONLY GETS WORSE. ON THE OUTSIDE THE TIRES WOBBLE IN OUT OUT, LOOKING AS THOUGH BOTH AXLES JUST BROKE OFF. I HAVE HAD MINE IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP OVER 10 TIMES AND HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR OVER 2 MONTHS. I WIL GET IT BACK FROM THE SHOP AND WITHIN A WEEK OF HAVING IT BACK THE DEATH WOBBLE ( SHAKING OF VECHILE) IS BACK AND ONLY GETS WORSE. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP THEN I BOUGHT IT AND THEY FOUND THAT THE LIFTKIT THAT WAS ALREADY INSTALLED ON MY JEEP BEFORE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW HAD MISSING PARTS AND THEY USED A LUG NUT FOR A NUT ON IT. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. THEY ARE JUST THROWING PARTS AT IT.
