AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT ACTIVATED WITH CHIME FOR SEVERAL CYCLES. NOW AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. SOMETIMES FLICKERS / FLASHES, BUT MOSTLY STAYS LIT. THIS WAS ON SMOOTH PAVEMENT AT HIGHWAY SPEED. 'CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE SYSTEM FAILED OR WHY THE LOCAL DEALER WANTS SO MUCH TO REPAIR AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ITEM THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE GONE BAD. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, FUEL WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF THE FILLING TUBE, THUS CAUSING SEVERAL OUNCES OF FUEL TO SPILL OUT. THUS COATING THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AS WELL AS THE GROUP WITH HIGHLY FLAMMABLE GASOLINE. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW THE TANK IS FILLED, IT OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME. GAS ALSO CONTAINS AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS SUCH AS BENZENE, TOLUENE, ETHYLBENZENE, AND XYLENES (BTEX) THESE CHEMICALS ARE HARMFUL TO BOTH HUMANS AND THE ENVIRONMENT. *TR

ENGINE
2012 JEEP WRANGLER STARTED TO HAVE ENGINE TICK. TOOK TO 2 LOCAL GARAGES, AND THEY WOULD NOT WORK ON IT. ONE SAID IT WAS A CHRYSLER RESTRICTED WARRANTY WORK THE OTHER IT WAS WITHIN THE NORMAL SOUND OF THE ENGINE. IT DID NOT MAKE TICKING SOUND WHEN PURCHASED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA THAT THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG. I HAD TO TAKE BACK TO PURCHASE GARAGE WHERE I HAD TO PUSH FOR IT TO GET FIXED. THAT WAS NOVEMBER. ENGINES IN SOME OF THE 2012 JEEPS HAD A VALVE CUT WRONG AND CHRYSLER WILL ONLY SEND OUT 1 VALVE PER ENGINE PER WEEK. MY MILEAGE HAS DROPPED AND THE TICKING IS WORSE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED A BAD "MISS" WHEN AT IDLE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS OK TO DRIVE. IT IS GETTING WORSE. IT IS SCHEDULED TO GO IN THE SECOND WEEK OF JANUARY TO GET FIXED. I HAVE YET TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM GARAGE TO LET ME KNOW THE PART IS IN. I HAD 4 OTHER JEEP WRANGLERS BEFORE ME GETTING THE PART IN TO BE FIXED, AND WAS TOLD IT WAS GOING TO TAKE A WEEK OR TWO AT THE GARAGE. I ONLY HAVE 9200 MILES ON THE JEEP. *TR
