HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT END STARTING SHAKING VERY BADLY. HAD TO COME TO A STOP FOR THE SHAKING TO STOP. THE FAMOUS JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY ACTED LIKE THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE. AFTER SEEING THESE COMPLAINTS I REALIZE ITS A COMMON PROBLEM AND JEEP SHOULD OF FIXED IT. IT COST ME $400.00 TO FIX IT. ALSO SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FUNNY. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS AND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. *TR

WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE HORN BEGAN BEEPING ON ITS OWN FOR A FEW SECONDS AT A TIME AND THEN STOP. I EVENTUALLY DISCONNECTED THE HORN COMPLETELY. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON A BLINKED INTERMITTENTLY. IT STILL DOES IT TO THIS DAY. JEEP ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A BAD CLOCK SPRING. I ALSO HEARD OF OTHER JEEPS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I REFUEL MY 2006 JEEP THE GAS SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE UNTIL I REMOVE THE GAS PUMP MANUALLY. THIS IS A KNOWN JEEP ISSUE THAT REQUIRES A REPLACEMENT GAS TANK. OUR ENVIRONMENT AND MY BODY/CLOTHES SHOULD NOT GET COVERED IN GASOLINE EVERY TIME I REFUEL! PLEASE MAKE CHRYSLER FIX ALL JEEP MODELS WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
REGARDLESS OF HOW FUEL NOZZLE IS PLACED, FUEL TANK OVER FILLS APPROX 1/8TH-1/3TH GALLON OF FUEL. I FEAR THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE IN THE EVENT FUEL SPLASHED ONTO BRAKE ROTOR OR OTHER HOT COMPONENTS, NOT TO MENTION THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THIS ISSUE DIRECTLY RELATED TO POOR DESIGN. *TR

STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I HIT SPEEDS OF 50MPH, MY JEEP WOBBLES TERRIBLY. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS REVIEWS AND COMPLAINTS THAT THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON AND IT EVEN HAS A NAME, THE "DEATH WOBBLE". WE ARE GOING TO PASS THE JEEP ONTO OUR 16 YR OLD DAUGHTER, BUT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF IT IS GOING TO BE RECALLED OR IF IT IS FIXABLE. I WOULD HATE ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO OUR DAUGHTER, ESPECIALLY IF JEEP IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM,

STEERING, SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP WRANGLER ON A SMOOTH PAVEMENT @ 55MPH THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING. IT SEEMED AS IF BOTH FRONT WHEELS WERE LOOSE. I IMMEDIATELY BRAKED, PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY TO A COMPLETE STOP. UPON FINDING NOTHING LOOSE I PROCEEDED DOWN THE HIGHWAY, UPON REACHING 55MPH THE VEHICLE REPEATED THE SHAKING. I HAVE REPLACED THE TRACK BAR, STEERING DAMPENER, FRONT BRAKE ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, NEW TIRES, WHEELS CHECKED WITH CALIPERS,AND 2 ALIGNMENTS. I STILL CANNOT EXCEED 55MPH WITHOUT THE VIOLENT SHAKING. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED WITH AROUND 12,000 MILES LAST YEAR. EVER SINCE WE BOUGHT IT, IT WILL RUN OVER WHEN PUMPING GAS. IT DOES NOT CUT OFF SO YOU JUST HAVE TO LISTEN TO STOP IT. I GOOGLED AND SAW THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH OTHER YEARS. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THE PROBLEM COULD BE FIXED. *TR

ENGINE
NOTICED A VERY PROMINENT TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE OF ENGINE. OCCURS AT IDLE AND GETS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN INCREASING SPEED WHILE IN PARK. NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND JEEP SPENT THREE DAYS AT DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE ADVISOR WHO HAD 23 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TOLD ME WHEN HE HEARD IT THAT IT DEFINITELY WAS A LIFTER PROBLEM. SO I CALLED CHRYSLER CORP AND RECEIVED A CLAIM NUMBER. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I WAS TOLD THAT ALL THE PENTASTAR ENGINES MADE A LOUD TICKING NOISE FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THIS WAS A NORMAL VARIANT. WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS IN THE DESIGN OF THE LEFT EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND THEY ALL MADE THIS NOISE. AFTER MUCH TALKING BETWEEN CHRYSLER CORP AND THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD TO COME AND PICK UP MY JEEP, NOTHING WOULD BE DONE. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS A DODGE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PENTASTAR ENGINES ARE HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE LEFT HEAD AND CAM PHASER ARE GOING OUT... I AM CONCERNED THAT THE ENGINE WILL CATCH FIRE OR STALL OUT ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

"ON THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING." *TR

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

ENGINE TICKING COMING FROM DRIVER'S SIDE. TOOK IT TO ONE DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED THE TICK. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO ACT. TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THAT REPAIRS WERE ON HOLD. TOOK IT BACK TO THAT DEALER AND SERVICE EMPLOYEE DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF A PROBLEM. TICKING HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND ENGINE POWER IS DECREASING. *TR

POWER TRAIN
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

SUSPENSION, STEERING, WHEELS
ON FRIDAY, 07.27.12, WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE/WOBBLE WILDLY, AND I THOUGHT THAT I HAD A BLOWOUT IN THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. I PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER, BUT, TO MY SURPRISE, THE TIRE WAS FINE, AND I COULD SEE NO VISIBLE PROBLEMS. I PROCEEDED DOWN THE HIGHWAY, BUT, AFTER ABOUT A MILE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE/WOBBLE WILDLY AGAIN (ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLY), TO THE POINT WHERE I LITERALLY THOUGHT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS FALLING OFF. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I DROVE SLOWLY ALONG THE SHOULDER, EXITED THE HIGHWAY AT THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY, AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER MAKING SURE THAT THE LUG-NUTS WERE TIGHT, I DROVE (VIA CITY STREETS, TO MINIMIZE SPEED) BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WHEEL BALANCING. THAT SAID, WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE'S RIGHT FRONT END STILL WOBBLES. IN THE INTERIM, I DID SOME GOOGLE'ING, AND I FOUND THAT NUMEROUS OTHER (?DEATH WOBBLE?) CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED NATIONWIDE (INCLUDING HUNDREDS TO THE NHTSA). CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED MULTIPLE TSBS, AND THERE IS A MAINTENANCE NOTICE ACKNOWLEDGING ?STEERING VIBRATION? (A MONUMENTAL EUPHEMISM; THE ISSUE GOES WAY BEYOND A SIMPLE VIBRATION) ON THE JEEP WEBSITE. IN SHORT, CHRYSLER IS WELL-AWARE OF THE EXISTENCE AND SEVERITY OF THIS PROBLEM. THE MATTER HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY A SAN FRANCISCO TV STATION (KGO-TV), AND EVEN TWO MEMBERS OF THE U.S. CONGRESS WHO SENT INQUIRIES/COMPLAINTS TO BOTH CHRYSLER. DESPITE ALL OF THE FIRST-HAND ACCOUNTS, PUBLICITY, AND REQUESTS FOR ACTION, THE NHTSA HAS DONE NOTHING. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW/DEFECT, AND THE NHTSA NEEDS TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL. JEEP OWNERS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THE EXISTENCE/POSSIBILITY OF THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD INCUR THE COSTS OF ITS DIAGNOSIS AND CORRECTION. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE HEAD LIGHTS WILL NOT STAY ON WHEN TURNED ON. WHEN THE HEAD LIGHT SWITCH IS TURNED ON THE COME ON THEN OFF AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON. THE HORN WILL BLOW WITH OUT PUSHING THE HORN BUTTON AND AT THE SAME TIME THE HORN BLOWS THE WINDSHIELD WASHER SPRAYER SPRAYS WATER. AFTER THE JEEP AS SIT FOR SEVERAL DAYS WITHOUT BEING STARTED THE MOTOR WILL NOT TURN OVER. THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHTS UP WHEN KEY IS TURNED ON BUT THE STARTER WILL NOT EVEN TRY TO TURN OVER THE MOTOR. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO START THE MOTOR SEVERAL TIMES THE STARTER WILL EVENTUALLY START THE MOTOR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE "TIPM" IN 2007. THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE OCCURRING WITH MY JEEP ARE THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT WERE OCCURRING WITH THE JEEP RECALLS IN 2007. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND RECALL THIS TIPM AS WELL.
