FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SINCE 2017, EVERY TIME I PUMP FUEL INTO THE CAR AT GAS STATION, THE PUMP OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR, THE GROUND AND THEN MY FEET AND HANDS BECAUSE I HAVE TO STEP IN THE PUDDLE AND PUT THE GAS CAP ON. I MOVED TO TN FROM CA IN 2016 AND I HAVE BEEN THINKING THAT IT THE SHELL GAS PUMPS HERE IN TN THAT WERE CAUSING IT...AS IF THEY WERE OLD OR NOT UP TO SOME SORT OF "CA STANDARD" OR SOMETHING. HOWEVER, AFTER THIS PROBLEM JUST HAPPENED TO MY PREGNANT WIFE WITH OUR 2 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR, I DECIDED TO CHECK A JEEP FORUM AND SEE IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. LO AND BEHOLD, THIS APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS ISSUE DATING BACK 10 YEARS TO A 2010 FORUM I FOUND. URL: HTTPS://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F176/HAVE-FUEL-SPILL-PROBLEMS-LIKE-MANY-US-SUBMIT-COMPLAINT-FORCE-RECALL-974337/ THIS VIDEO SHOWS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?TIME_CONTINUE=7&V=HAE5HT-_Y48&FEATURE=EMB_LOGO THIS IS A SERIOUS RISK OF FIRE AND SAFETY...FOR NOT JUST ME, BUT ANY PATRON AT A GAS STATION WHO IS EITHER THERE WITH ME OR DRIVES UP TO MY PUMP AFTER ME. THE FUMES ARE NOW ON OUR FEET AND THEN IN THE CAR...THEN WE GO HOME OR WHERE AND SPREAD THAT GASOLINE FUMES AROUND EVERYWHERE WE GO. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I'M VERY CONCERNED WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS GIVEN THE EASE TO DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM WITH ONE SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH. I'M VERY CONCERNED...

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TIPM PROBLEMS FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE. CAR GOES HAYWIRE! HORN GOES ON RANDOMLY AND STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DRIVING! WIPERS GO ON AND OFF RANDOMLY EVEN WHEN I TRY TO USE THE WIPER SWITCH TO CONTROL IT, NOTHING HAPPENS. WIPER FLUID GOES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY EVEN WHEN NOT CONTROLLED BY SWITCH. DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING EVEN WHEN NOT USING THE REMOTE. ALARM GOES OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH THE HORN. ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS RANDOMLY FLASH ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALL THESE WEIRD EVENTS USUALLY OCCUR AT THE SAME TIME OR RANDOMLY BY THEMSELVES. MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING OR WHEN TRYING TO INITIALLY UNLOCK AND ENTER THE VEHICLE FOR USE.

STEERING, WHEELS
I EXPERIENCE THE "DEATH WOBBLE" DAILY. IT STARTS AROUND 45 MPH AND CONTINUES UNTIL I STOP. IT MAKES THE JEEP SHAKE AND HARD TO CONTROL. THE SHAKING IS SO BAD, IT WILL CAUSE DRINKS TO GET THROWN FROM THE CUPHOLDER. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO.

AIR BAGS
NOTIFIED DURING JULY 2019 OF 2 RECALLS (S43 AND S33). ON 7/12/2019 S43 WAS COMPLETED. S33 PARTS WERE ORDERED. THE FIRST ETA WAS IN SEPTEMBER. THAT WAS CANCELED DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER AND TO "ALL STAR DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM" BUT THERE IS STILL NO DATE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A LARGE BACK ORDER LIST AND NO KNOWN DATE AS TO WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. THE RECALL NOTICE SAID "IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO TAKE STEPS NOW TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS." I HAVE TAKEN THESE STEPS. CHRYSLER HAS PUT IN AN PART ORDER AND CANNOT GIVE ME A DATE AS TO WHEN THIS CAN BE FIXED. THE SIZE OF THIS BACKLOG INDICATES THERE ARE MANY INSTALLATIONS NEEDED.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS... CHRYSLER WON'T FIX THE ACTUAL PROBLEM..THEY JUST RECALLED THE VEHICLE TO HAVE A DUMMY LIGHT INSTALLED ON YOUR DASH..TURN YOUR VEHICLE OFF AND LET IT COOL DOWN..BY THAT TIME WHEN IT OVER HEATS..IT'S ALREADY JUNK..42RLE ARE JUNK! WE THE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FIX AND DIAGNOSIS THERE MISTAKE. BETWEEN THE WIRING AND THE TRANSMISSION..IT'S HELL...YOUR EITHER GOING TO BURN BECAUSE OF FAULTY WIRES THEY NEVER DID A RECALL ON AND IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET...SAME PROBLEMS. OR YOUR GOING TO KEEP THROWING A BUNCH OF MONEY INTO A POS THAT WILL NEVER TRULY BE FIXED! THROWS ALL KINDS OF CODES BECAUSE OF THE TRANNY OVERHEATING. IF YOU INSTALL A AFTERMARKET COOLER TO TRY TO FIX THE OVERHEATING ISSUE IT VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY...WHICH IS NO GOOD ANYWAYS..BECAUSE THE DON'T EVEN STAND BEHIND THAT! HOPE THEY GO BANKRUPT 😁

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I AM EXPERIENCING A RECURRING ISSUE THAT APPEARS TO BE THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES HAYWIRE, FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES AND THEN IS FINE. IN RESEARCHING THIS, I AM FINDING THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON JEEP VEHICLES OF THAT TIME PERIOD. IT MOST RECENTLY OCCURRED TODAY, ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED FOR ABOUT THE LAST 2 YEARS, SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VISIBILITY/WIPER
IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT THE WIPERS, WASHER FLUID, LIGHTS INCLUDING REVERSE LIGHTS AND HORN CAME ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. ENGINE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. AFTER DOING A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THIS AND THEY ALL CONCLUDED THAT IT WAS THE TIPM. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND I WOULD SAY IT HAPPENS EVERY OTHER WEEK.
