AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TAKATA RECALL. ON SUNDAY AUGUST 18TH 2019 AT 4:30 PM A PHONE CALL WAS PLACED TO BROOKLYN CHRYSLER/JEEP AT 718 713 3000 TO CONFIRM AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL MADE THROUGH THE NATIONAL HOTLINE. UPON CONTACTING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I WAS TOLD THAT THE NATIONAL RECALL CENTER DID NOT APPROPRIATELY SCHEDULE THE AIRBAG REPAIR, AND MADE MY APPOINTMENT FOR AN "OIL CHANGE." I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT SCHEDULING ERRORS ARE FREQUENT FROM YOUR OFFICE AND THAT THEY DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE REPLACEMENT AIR BAG PARTS IN STOCK. I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER ONLY SENDS OUT "TWO OR THREE" AIRBAG RECALL PARTS AT A TIME AND THAT THEY ARE GIVEN OUT ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS. SHE STATED THERE IS NO CURRENT PROCEDURE FOR ASSIGNING SERVICE TO A PARTICULAR CUSTOMER AT A PARTICULAR TIME, AND THAT I SHOULD TRY BACK EVERY FEW WEEKS. THIS HAPHAZARD HANDLING, IF TRUE, BEGS THE QUESTION OF WHY YOUR OFFICE WOULD SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS IT DOES SENDING OUT MAILINGS FOR ANY FIX, YET SO LITTLE EFFORT TO STREAMLINE THE ADMINISTRATIVE END TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE. I WILL CONTINUE TO TRY TO MADE THIS "POTENTIALLY DEADLY" REPAIR, BUT SOMEONE CAN COORDINATE BETTER WITH THE DEALERSHIP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS BEEN IDLING FUNNY FOR A WHILE. TODAY MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED RUNNING WITHOUT TURNING THEM ON, THE HEADLIGHT CAME ON HIGH BEAM WITHOUT TURNING THEM ON AND MY TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING. I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET HIME FROM WORK. SOMETIMES THE STARTER STICKS & GRINDS WHEN I TRY TO START IT..SOMETIMES THE CRUISE CONTROL MAKES THE JEEP SHAKE VIOLENTLY LIKE DRIVING ON 4 FLAT TIRES DOWN THE INTERSTATE. MY HUSBAND UNHOOKED THE BATTERY TODAY TO STOP THE WIPERS AND IT WAS SPARKING AND THE WHOLE FUSE CONTROL PANEL WAS TOO HOT TO TOUCH. HE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT IT IS THE TIPM AND IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM IN ALMOST ALL JEEP WRANGLERS, AND HAS BEEN RECALLED IN MOST THAT HAD ALL MY JEEPS ELECTRICAL ISSUES, BUT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED IN THE 2010, EVEN AFTER MANY CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS, GLAD IT DIDN'T CATCH MY JEEP ON FIRE. NOW I'M WORRIED ABOUT PARKING IN MY GARAGE AS IT IS PART OF MY HOUSE. SO NOW MY JEEP THAT ONLY HAS 74000 MILES AND COST ME 35000 DOLLARS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND CAN'T BE PARKED IN ITS COZY 350000 GARAGE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY HOME, JEEP AND POSSIBLY MY LIFE. CHRYSLER REALLY NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING AFTER MAKING SO MUCH MONEY OFF OF US DIE HARD LIFE LONG JEEP ENTHUSIASTS.*DT*DT *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ISSUE OVERVIEW: 2010 JEEP WRANGLER HAS A DOCUMENTED SAFETY ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT AGREE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE NOR FIX THE ISSUE, WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE FOUR PAGES OF SPECIFIC NOTES AND SERVICE DATES, ETC. AS WELL AS THE INTERNAL OFFICIAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT OUTLINES THAT JEEP KNEW THAT THE SAFETY CONCERN I WAS RAISING WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. I CAN EMAIL OR FAX THIS DOCUMENTATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AS THIS TEXT BOX WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE INFORMATION SPECIFICS AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING MY JEEP WITH FUEL, THE FUEL PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF QUICKLY ENOUGH AND GASOLINE SPLATTERS OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO MY HANDS, CLOTHS, JEEP AND GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME REGARDLESS WHERE I FILL UP. I USE QT, BP AND SHELL STATIONS. SOME ARE NEW AND SOME OR OLD. THIS CAN NOT BE A PUMP ISSUE BUT A JEEP ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE FRONT BRAKE LINES HAVE AN INSULATOR THAT COVERS THE HARD PIPE TO RUBBER CONNECTION. THIS INSULATOR ALLOWS MOISTURE TO COLLECT BETWEEN IT AND THE METAL FITTING THAT CONNECTS THE TWO DIFFERENT LINE MATERIALS. THE CONNECTION ROTS THROUGH AND THEN BEGINS TO LEAK. THE REAR LINES DO NOT HAVE THIS INSULATOR ON THAT CONNECTION AND THEY ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE INSULATOR APPEARS TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE PREMATURE FAILURE. I NOTED THE LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID WHILE DOING OTHER MAINTENANCE ON THE JEEP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) FAILED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE JEEP TO DIE AT HIGHWAY SPEED MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL ON THE NORTH TEXAS EXPRESSWAY WITH NO EXITS. JEEP CAME TO A STOP ON A BLIND CURVE AND WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK TO BE MOVED. SHIFTED TRANSFER CASE TO NUT NEUTRAL AND WITH ANOTHER DRIVES ASSISTANCE PUSHED OFF THE EXPRESSWAY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I BOUGHT THIS JEEP BRAND NEW AND ALMOST FROM THE START WHEN FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION. WHEN THE TANK IS FULL THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF THEN A LOT OF GAS COMES OUT THE FILL PIPE I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE TRIED GOING SLOW TOOK ALMOST 20 MINUTES TO FILL THE GAS TANK AND STILL GAS COME SPLASHING OUT OF THE FILL PIPE. I THINK THEIR IS SOMETHING DEFECTIVE IN THE FILL PIPE THAT DOESN'T TRIGGER THE SHUT OFF IN THE NOZZLE FAST ENOUGH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY RESIDENTIAL STREET AND MY JEEP'S WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING OFF, MY HORN STARTING HONKING AND MY SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND 3 SECONDS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING BUT THIS TIME IT DIED AND SMOKE STARTED COMING THROUGH MY VENTS INSIDE. I IMMEDIATELY PUT IT IN PARK AND GOT OUT TO GET MY SON OUT OF THE BACK SEAT BUT MY DOOR SHUT BEHIND ME AND ALL OF THE REST WERE LOCKED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 BECAUSE I WAS WATCHING THE CAR FILL WITH SMOKE WITH MY 10 MONTH OLD TRAPPED INSIDE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO UNLOCK ANY OF THE DOORS UNTIL I GOT TO THE BACK HATCH, WHERE MY KEY OPENED IT UP. I GOT MY SON OUT AND ABOUT 60 SECONDS LATER, IT STARTED SMOKING WORSE AND IT TURNED TO BLACK SMOKE. ABOUT 30 SECONDS AFTER THAT MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT ALL SEEMED TO START UNDER THE HOOD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEAD LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. THEY FLASH WHEN I START THE JEEP AND WHEN I TURN ON THE LIGHT SWITCH. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN I CHANGED THE BATTERY. I CAN'T DRIVE IT AT NIGHT ANYMORE. THE WEB IS FULL OF THIS SAME COMPLAINANT. I HAD THE SYSTEM SCANNED AND GET CODES B162F & B162B. HOW CAN THIS PROBLEM EXIST? I'M TALKING ABOUT HEAD LIGHTS. THE RUNNING LIGHTS ARE NOT AFFECTED.
