FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FUEL REGURGITATING FROM THE FUEL FILLER NECK ON FILLUP FOR 2008 WRANGLERS. MY WIFE'S 2008 WRANGLER 4-DOOR HAD THE ISSUE AND WAS REPAIRED. 4 MONTHS LATER, MY 2008 WRANGLER 2-DOOR DID THE SAME THING. WHEN REPORTING TO THE DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE GROUP WITH THE PROBLEM. YET THERE I STOOD AT THE PUMP WITH A QUART OF GASOLINE ALL OVER MY JEEP, THE GROUND AND ME. THIS IS A FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. THE GROUP IS CLEARLY LARGER THAN CHRYSLER IS ADMITTING. I WANT MY JEEP FIXED JUST LIKE MY WIFE'S WAS WHEN SHE HAD THIS ISSUE! *TR

SUSPENSION
I DROVE OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT ON THE ROAD WITH A FEW MINOR BUMPS AFTER IT. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE SHAKING GOT MUCH WORSE. I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP BEFORE I COULD CONTROL THE CAR. STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THE DEALER CHECKED THE CAR AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN THIS PAST WEEK ON A 3 LANE INTERSTATE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IN THE CENTER LANE AT ABOUT 60 MPH. WENT OVER SOME BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENED AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THAT THE OTHER CARS AROUND HER BACKED AWAY AND LET HER COAST TO A STOP ON THE ROAD SHOULDER. IT WAS VERY SCARY !! SHE WILL NOT GET IN THE CAR AGAIN. I HAVE ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE SINCE FOUND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED MOSTLY TO JEEP WRANGLERS. THE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED. IF THIS WAS TO HAPPEN ON SNOWY OR SLICK ROADS THERE WOULD BE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND INJURY OR DEATHS CAUSED BY DEFECTIVELY DESIGNED CARS BY CHRYSLER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF OF GAS PUMPS DOES NOT WORK WITH THIS VEHICLE. ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK TO CAPACITY WITH AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF CAUSES GAS TO SURGE OUT AROUND THE PUMP NOZZLE FLOWING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ONTO THE GROUND, AND SOMETIMES ONTO THE OPERATOR OF THE GAS PUMP. THIS OCCURS ANYTIME THE VEHICLE'S GAS TANK IS FILLED TO FULL CAPACITY. IT WAS FIRST NOTICED WHEN FILLING AT MAXIMUM FLOW OF THE PUMP WITH HOLD LATCH ENGAGED, RELYING ON AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF. IT ALSO OCCURS WHEN THE OPERATOR TRIES TO EASE TOWARDS A FULL TANK REDUCING FLOW AS THE TANK APPROACHES WHERE IT SHOULD BE FULL. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THE ISSUE WAS APPROXIMATELY FALL 2009 AND HAPPENED SPORADICALLY EVERY FEW MONTHS UNTIL OCTOBER 2011. PREVIOUSLY THE ISSUE WAS ATTRIBUTED BY THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE STATION PUMPS. SINCE MID-OCTOBER 2011, THIS ISSUE NOW OCCURS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED AT ANY GAS STATION. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
VIOLENT, EXTREME SHAKING IN FRONT END OF VEHICLE ("DEATH WOBBLE") AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55-60MPH. HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 6 TIMES, BUT IS RANDOM AND INTERMITTENT, WITH NO KNOWN PRECIPITATING FACTORS. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING OVER MINOR BUMPS BUT HAS ALSO OCCURRED MORE FREQUENTLY ON PERFECTLY SMOOTH, STRAIGHT PAVEMENT - WITH NO TURNING, BREAKING, ACCELERATION. THE SHAKING SEEMS TO BE IN THE FRONT TIRES/AXLE AND CONTINUES FOR 3-4 SECONDS AS I AM TRYING TO REDUCE SPEED CAREFULLY AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT FEELS LIKE THE FRONT TIRES ARE GOING TO FLY OFF IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS! AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR MONTHS, BUT RECENTLY HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS TOLD BY ONE GARAGE THAT IT WAS DUE TO TIRE BALANCE (WHICH I KNEW WAS NOT THE CASE), BUT I HAD ALL FOUR TIRES BALANCED/ROTATED (AT ABOUT 42,500 MILES). GARAGE PERSONNEL STATED THIS "TOOK CARE OF MOST OF THE PROBLEM" BUT SUGGESTED I GET NEW TIRES. PROBLEM OCCURRED 2 MORE TIMES WITHIN A WEEK, BEFORE NEW TIRES. HAVE HAD ALL FOUR TIRES REPLACED. DEATH WOBBLE HAS NOT RECURRED, BUT I AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TIRES/BALANCE AND THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING. IT IS TERRIFYING AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE HURT OR KILLED. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP NEXT WEEK. WHEN I MADE THE APPOINTMENT, THEY CLAIMED THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, SO I WILL PROVIDE THEM WITH INFORMATION I GATHERED IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES OFF VARIOUS WEB SITES DETAILING THE APTLY-NAMED "DEATH WOBBLE." I AM WELL-ACQUAINTED WITH THE "COULD-NOT-DUPLICATE-THE-PROBLEM" GARAGE MANTRA, SO FORESEE A PROTRACTED AND FRUSTRATING BATTLE BEFORE THIS LIFE-THREATENING PROBLEM IS FIXED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ISSUE WITH FUEL SPILLAGE WHEN FILLING UP THE VEHICLE. APPARENTLY THERE IS FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE THAT HAS AN ISSUE. EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL THE VEHICLE UP WITH GAS IT OVERFLOWS...THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AS IT SHOULD BUT THERE IS AN OVERFLOW OF GAS THAT COMES OUT OF THE VEHICLE AFTER THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. I'VE HAD TO STOP FILLING MY VEHICLE UP AND GO TO ONLY PUTTING $30 OR SO IN TO KEEP IT FROM OVERFLOWING. THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME UNTIL I HAD SOMEONE ELSE TRY FILING IT UP AND IT DID THE SAME THING. FOUND OUT A FRIEND OF MINE WHO ALSO HAS A JEEP (2 YEARS OLDER THAN MINE) HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE HIS FUEL TANK REPLACED. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING, WHEELS
VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHUDDER FROM ROAD CONDITIONS, THEN WHEN YOU STRIKE A BUMP, OR THE ROAD SURFACE CHANGES, THE VEHICLES THEN VIOLENTLY SHAKES AND WILL NOT CEASE UNTIL SLOWED TO 30MPH OR INCREASED TO 70MPH. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON FREEWAYS. IT APPEARS THAT THE ENTIRE FRONT END IS ABOUT TO SHAKE THE WHEELS LOOSE, THEN TRANSFERS TO THE REAR WHEELS SOMETIMES. THEN WHEN IT APPEARS THE PHENOMENA IS OVER, IT CAN REOCCUR AGAIN JUST AS QUICKLY. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE IT, NOR WILL SHE ALLOW MY SON TO RIDE IN IT UNTIL IT IS RESOLVED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2008 JEEP 4X4 WRANGLER UNLIMITED AND ON THE WAY HOME I STOPPED TO REFUEL. NOT SURE HOW MUCH GAS IT WOULD TAKE, I WAS HOLDING THE NOZZLE AND SUDDENLY GAS SPEWED OUT OF THE TANK BEFORE THE PUMP TURNS OFF, SPLASHING OVER ME, MY SHOES AND THE SURROUND PUMP AREA. I INITIALLY THOUGHT I DID SOMETHING WRONG, HOWEVER THE SECOND TIME I REFUELED, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I'VE USED THIS GAS STATION FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER CARS. THEN, I SEARCHED THE INTERNET TO DETERMINE WHAT I COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM, ONLY TO FIND THAT IT HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED, NHTSA HAS RECEIVED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY INTERNET AND DECIDED TO CLOSE THE INVESTIGATION? THE INTERNET IS A GREAT PLEASE TO FIND RESOLUTIONS FOR PROBLEMS AND QUICKLY COLLECT EXPERIENCES OR ISSUES THAT AFFECT THE PUBLIC. I'M NOT SURE OF THE NHTSA'S CRITERIA TO ACCEPT COMPLAINTS AND TAKE ACTION, BUT CERTAINLY HOPE THAT THEY ARE TAKING THE APPROPRIATE ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS SITUATION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER MONTHS OF OVERNIGHT STAYS WITH THE DEALERSHIP; A NUMBER OF ELECTRICAL PARTS WERE REPLACED IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES. DURING THE LAST VISIT THE TIPM STOPPED RESPONDING WHILE THE TECH WAS CHECKING FOR ERROR CODES. THE TECH DETERMINED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WAS THE LIKELY SOURCE OF THE ISSUES GIVEN IT'S COMPLEX BUILD AND IT'S ROLL IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE IS AN 08 WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH 60,000 MILES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I JUST PURCHASE A JEEP AND THE FIRST TIME I FILLED UP WITH GAS, THE PUMP SHUT OFF BUT FUEL SPLASHED OUT ON THE GROUND, THE VEHICLE AND ME. I THOUGHT AT FIRST I JUST HAD DONE SOMETHING WRONG. I WENT THREE DAYS LATER TO FUEL UP AGAIN AND THIS TIME DID NOT USE THE NOZZLE HANDLE LATCH AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE PUMP SHUT OFF AND I KEPT THE NOZZLE IN THE TANK FOR A MOMENT FOR THE FUEL TO SETTLE BUT IT SPILLED OUT WITH FORCE ALL OVER MY CAR, THE CONCRETE AND ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AS I LOVE MY JEEP BUT THIS IS UNSAFE AND I WANT IT FIXED! OBVIOUSLY THERE IS NO WARRANTY REMAINING BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW FUEL TANK AND SYSTEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET FORUMS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED......BEFORE A MAJOR INCIDENT OCCURS! *TR

STEERING
MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60-65 MPH. I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE AND IT SCARED THEM TO DEATH. I HAD TO TRY TO PULL OVER TO AVOID A COLLISION. IT WOULD NOT STOP SHAKING UNTIL I WAS UNDER 30 MPH. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 8 TIMES TO GET THIS PROBLEM ADDRESSED. THEY HAVE DONE ALIGNMENTS CHANGED STEERING STABILIZERS AND STILL CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I JUST HAD IT BACK INTO CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPT ON 10-24-11 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEED TO BE FIXED!!!! PLEASE HELP *TT

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SHIFTING THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFER CASE (TC) FROM 2HI TO 4HI OR 4LOW (OR IN REVERSE ORDER) CAN CAUSE THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFTING CABLE (TCSC) (MOPAR PART 52060462AG) TO FAIL AND BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM EITHER THE TC OR THE SHIFT LEVER IN THE CAB (OR BOTH). THE PART?S PLASTIC COMPONENTS ARE INHERENTLY TOO WEAK TO WITHSTAND NORMAL USE. SAFETY RISKS WHICH CAN ARISE UPON COMPONENT FAILURE, IF THE VEHICLE OWNER AND THEIR FAMILY (CHILDREN) ARE AT A LOCATION AND/OR TERRAIN WHERE THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED/MARKETED FOR TRAVEL (WHETHER BY RECREATION OR NECESSITY), AND THE LOCATION/TERRAIN IS: (I) SUBJECT TO INCLEMENT WEATHER (E.G. SNOW, ICE, FLOODING, EXTREME HEAT); OR (II) ON AN EXTREME INCLINE WHICH IS UNSAFE TO NEGOTIATE WITHOUT 4WD; OR (III) ANY CIRCUMSTANCE WHICH REQUIRES 4WD TO NAVIGATE TO A SAFE LOCATION; OR (IV) THE TCSC FAILS WHEN THE TC BECOMES STUCK IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION WHILE SHIFTING, AND IS UNABLE TO ESCAPE IMPENDING HARM (FLASH FLOOD) ... THERE IS OBVIOUS RISK TO LIFE/SAFETY. THE OWNER HAS A RIGHT TO RELY ON THE COMPONENTS AND REASONABLE SAFETY PERFORMANCE FOR WHICH THE PRODUCT IS DESIGNED/MARKETED. JEEP IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AND THE MANUAL FAILS TO CITE THIS AS A POSSIBLE CATASTROPHIC EVENT, LEAVING THE UNSUSPECTING OWNER AT A LOSS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. IT IS NOT REASONABLE FOR THIS COMPONENT TO FAIL WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES AS REPORTED BY JEEP OWNERS. ADVANCE ADAPTERS (WWW.ADVANCEADAPTERS.COM) MANUFACTURES A TCSC WHICH MEETS THE CRITERIA (PRODUCT# 715596) REQUIRED FOR THIS COMPONENT. THERE IS NO REASON THAT JEEP CANNOT DO THE SAME AND/OR CONTRACT WITH ADVANCE ADAPTORS TO SUPPLY THE PART TO JEEP OWNERS. WE URGE NHTSA?S INVESTIGATION OF THIS SAFETY DEFECT AND JEEP WILL REDESIGN THE DEFECTIVE PART AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR AFFECTED VEHICLES ON WHICH THE PART WAS INSTALLED AS OEM AND TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO REPLACEMENT FOR LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
