STEERING, SUSPENSION
UPON DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP SAHARA I HIT A BUMP IN ROAD, THE ENTIRE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING, THE TIRES BOUNCING FROM CENTER LINE TO SIDE LINE. I APPLIED BRAKES AND HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE IT QUIT. I WENT TO JEEP DEALER THEY ADVISED "THE BRAKE ROTORS NEED TURNED" I LAUGHED AND DID AS THEY ASKED AND GOT NEW BRAKES AND NEW SHOCK STABILIZER. IT IS NOW DECEMBER 2012 AND IT HAS OCCURRED AGAIN 3 TIMES AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. I WOULD LIKE FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AND SOLUTION DISCOVERED BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THE SERVICE CENTERS ARE TELLING PEOPLE THAT "ITS THE BRAKES" THIS IS LAUGHABLE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE LAST TIME TWO TIMES I FILLED MY GAS TANK, AT TWO DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, THERE WAS A BACKSPLASH OF GASOLINE AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY STOPPED. I DID NOT TRY TO TOP OFF. AS I PULLED THE NOZZLE OUT OF THE TANK, ABOUT A CUP OR TWO OF GAS SPLASHED OUT OVER THE FENDER, MY FINGERS, AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE FIRST TIME I ASSUMED IT WAS A FREAK INCIDENT FROM THE PUMP, BUT AS IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME TODAY AT A DIFFERENT GAS STATION, IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, FUEL SPILLS FROM THE TANK. THE FUEL SPURTS OUT, GETTING ON SKIN AND CLOTHING, AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ENOUGH TO PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT THE LAST TWO CONSECUTIVE FILL-UPS FOR THIS VEHICLE. IT OCCURRED AT TWO DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. AT NEITHER OCCURRENCE WAS THE TANK BEING "TOPPED OFF" WHEN THE FUEL SPILLAGE OCCURRED. THE FUEL SPURTING OUT ALLOWS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS EMISSIONS TO BE RELEASED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS TIMES THAT MY GAUGES JUST STOP WORKING AND THEN ONE DAY I WENT TO DRIVE IT AND I HAD NO TURN SIGNALS OR BRAKE LIGHTS. IT IS IN THE MECHANIC SHOP AS WE SPEAK. THEY HAVE FOUND THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR UNDER THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASH HAS COMPLETELY MELTED AND ALL THE WIRES HAVE FUSED TOGETHER. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT IT DIDN'T CATCH ON FIRE. NOW THE OTHER PROBLEM IS FINDING THE PART MY MECHANIC HAS TRIED EVERYWHERE TO FIN IT. SO NOW MY JEEP IS JUST SITTING IN THE SHOP GOING ON THREE DAYS NOW UNTIL A PART CAN BE FOUND. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS AS I SEE ON HERE AND OTHER SITES THAT IT IS DANGEROUS AND MANY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES?? *TR

POWER TRAIN
SINCE THE JEEP WAS NEW, IT HAS MADE A NOISE SIMILAR TO "SPARK KNOCK" OR PRE-IGNITION COMING FROM THE AREA OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE NOISE DID GO AWAY AFTER A FEW MINUTES, HOWEVER IT NOW PERSISTS EVEN AFTER THE ENGINE HAS WARMED UP. THE NOISE IS MORE NOTICEABLE IN COLD WEATHER. THE JEEP DEALER HAS TRIED TO LOCATE THE SOURCE TO NO AVAIL. A JEEP TECHNICIAN EVEN CAME OUT TO OUR HOME FOR AN EARLY MORNING TEST RIDE AND HE HEARD THE NOISE. HE CHECKED FOR LOOSE CABLES ETC. BUT THE NOISE CONTINUES. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AS I HAVE THIS FEELING THAT THE ANSWER WILL BE FOUND ABOUT THE TIME THE JEEP IS "OUT OF WARRANTY". *TR

THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE UNLOADING GOODS FROM THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE PARKED VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL AWAY IN REVERSE AND DOWNHILL UNTIL CRASHING INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE ALLOWED HER TO ERRONEOUSLY REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING SHIFTED INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,700.

ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. INITIAL TRIP TO DEALER AND THEY DECIDED TO JUST RESET THE CODES. LIGHT CAME BACK ON THE NEXT DAY. RETURN TO DEALER AND THEY REPORTED A BAD CYLINDER HEAD. TOLD ME TO KEEP DRIVING, CAR NOW HAS MORE ENGINE NOISE AND POWER LOSE. (AS A SIDE NOTE THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALSO REPLACED, ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, A"BAD"PVC VALVE WHICH RESULTED IN THE AIR FILTER AND HOUSING COATED WITH ABOUT A 1/2 INCH OF ENGINE OIL.). HAVE BEEN WAITING ON PARTS GOING ON 10 DAYS. NOT STUPID ENOUGH TO KEEP DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS THE DEALER SUGGESTED. IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE FOR DEALERS TO TELL CLIENTS TO KEEP DRIVING WHEN THIS VEHICLE HAS POWER ISSUES AND APPEARS AT RISK FOR STALLING. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I'VE FILLED UP THE GAS TANK, NO MATTER IF I DO IT AUTOMATIC SETTING OR MANUAL WITH THE LOWEST SETTING PRESSURE WHILE PUMPING. THE GAS OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME. I'VE TRIED SEVERAL GAS PUMPS, ADJUSTED THE SETTING OF THE PUMP INSIDE THE TANK, IT STILL OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY SAID THAT MY 2010 YEAR MODEL WAS NOT COVERED FOR THE RECALL WHEN I'VE HEARD FROM FELLOW OWNERS OF THE 2010 MODEL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY JUST OPT TO NOT FILL UP THE TANK WHILE PUMPING AND JUST STOP MIDWAY. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY OR A HIGH SPEED SERVICE ROAD, MY JEEP WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE TREMENDOUSLY. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THIS IS KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." I AM A YOUNGER DRIVER AND WHEN THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED, I BEGAN TO FREAK. ALTHOUGH NOT VERY MANY ACCIDENTS ACTUALLY OCCUR I AM STILL SCARED THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. SOMETIMES I CAN FEEL IT COMING ON BUT NOTHING EVER HAPPENS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN A WEEK AND A HALF, ONCE AT 67MPH, ONCE AT 60MPH, AND ONCE AT 55MPH. THIS IS A VERY SCARY EVENT AND I HOPE TO GET IT FIXED SOON. I WISH THAT YOU WOULD TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK OVER THIS INCIDENT AND FIX IT. ONCE AGAIN BEING A YOUNG DRIVER THIS IS VERY SCARY. I HAVE HAD MY JEEP FOR A YEAR AND 2 MONTHS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. *TR
