STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 UNLIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD WOBBLE VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVING 55 MPH AND ABOVE OR WHEN DRIVING OVER A ROAD BUMP.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IF I TURN OFF MOTOR, THEN RESTART, AIRBAG LIGHT WILL BE OFF AND AFTER A SHORT TIME LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I AM SURE IT IS A DEFECTIVE CLOCKSPRING. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE PULLING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, MY JEEP JUMPED OUT OF 1ST GEAR. AS I LET OFF OF THE CLUTCH AND BEGAN TO ROLL IT VIOLENTLY JUMPED OUT OF GEAR. I HAD ENOUGH SPEED FOR MY JEEP TO ACTUALLY ENTER TRAFFIC. BY THE TIME I FIGURED OUT WHAT HAD ACTUALLY HAPPENED I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN ONCOMING CAR. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM AND JEEP IS ONLY OFFERING TO REPAIR IT IF IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 53K MILES ON IT AND IT HAS DONE THIS A FEW TIMES OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. IN MY OPINION JEEP SHOULD RECALL THIS AS A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

STEERING
AT SPEEDS IN THE RANGE OF 45-50MPH, AND USUALLY AROUND 47MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT WHEELS WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND WOBBLE FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE ONLY WAY TO RECOVER IS TO EITHER SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEPS AS THERE ARE YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF THE JEEP "DEATH WOBBLE". IT BECOMES VERY SERIOUS AND COULD CAUSE A PERSON TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, AND SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD ADDRESS. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE OCT 18, 2011. THE JEEP EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHEREBY THE JEEPS' WHEELS SUDDENLY BEGAN TO WOBBLE TO THE POINT THAT ONE ALMOST MUST SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATELY. THE CONDITION APPEARS TO BE QUITE COMMON WITH THE JEEP WRANGLER. PORTABLE RECEIVED VIA U.S. MAIL. A PORTION OF THE COMPLAINT WAS ILLEGIBLE. 02/28/12 UPDATED 02/28/12 *BF

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL MY JEEP UP WITH GASOLINE IT SPITS BACK AT ME. I HAVE TO STAND BACK WHILE FILLING THE TANK AND GAUGE APPROXIMATELY HOW MUCH GAS I AM LOW SO I CAN PREDICT WHEN TO SLOW DOWN THE PUMP, JUST TO SOFTEN THE AMOUNT OF GAS THAT IS SPIT BACK. THIS ONLY LIMITS THE AMOUNT THAT SPITS BACK, IT DOES NOT STOP IT ENTIRELY. HALF OF THE TIME I END UP WET WITH GASOLINE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE 2010 JEEP WRANGLER WAS REPAIRED OCTOBER 26TH BY A CHRYSLER DEALER FOR 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION POPPING OUT OF FIRST GEAR. APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AFTER REPAIRED, THE SAME CONDITION REAPPEARED. SINCE 10-28-11 IT HAS POPPED OUT OF FIRST GEAR 5 TIMES FOR AN AVERAGE ONCE EVERY 68 MILES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH JEEP WRANGLERS THAT HAVE A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH CHRYSLER SAYS THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NEVER RECREATE THE CONDITION WHEN THEY DRIVE IT IN THE PARKING LOT SO THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THE JEEP FIRST POPPED OUT OF FIRST GEAR ON AUGUST 31, 2011. WE FILED A COMPLIANT, #10425283, BUT FELT SINCE IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AFTER A REPAIR IT SHOULD BE FILED AGAIN. SOMEONE HAS TO DEMAND THAT CHRSYLER ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND CORRECT THE ISSUE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WANT TO REPORT AN ISSUE WITH MY JEEP WRANGLER 2006. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM JEEP IN ANNAPOLIS MARYLAND JEEP 2006 WITH 9,343 MILES ON IT. TWO MONTHS LATER IT BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AT 50-55 MPH. ONLY AT THIS SPEED. THIS IS VERY SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS AND HAVE ALMOST GONE OFF THE ROAD. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO ACCELERATE TO HIGHER SPEED OR TO SLOW DOWN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY DID A AN ALIGNMENT. THE SHAKING STOPPED AND 1 MONTH LATER IT STARTED AGAIN. A YEAR LATER, OF JUST PUTTING UP WITH THIS I BRING THE JEEP BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY TELL ME THAT THE CAUSE IS FROM WORN TIE RODS AND STEERING DAMPER WORN. IF THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE SHAKE THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME THIS A YEAR AGO. I THINK THE WORN PARTS ARE A RESULT FROM THE SHAKE. NOT THE CAUSE. EITHER WAY , THE JEEP NOW HAS 26,000 MILES AND I'M ALREADY BEING TOLD TO PUT 2000 DOLLARS INTO IT FOR WORN PARTS. THESE PARTS ARE WEARING PREMATURELY BECAUSE OF THE SHAKE BUT NO ONE CAN DETERMINE THE CAUSE. IF I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR NEW , I COULD HAVE USED THE LEMON LAW BUT UNFORTUNATELY, I BOUGHT IT WITH LOW MILEAGE USED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND WONDERING IF IT WILL TAKE A DEATH FOR SOMEONE TO RECALL THESE LIKE THE PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA ACCELERATOR. ITS VERY FRUSTRATION, AND THE AVERAGE PERSON DOES NOT HAVE THE TIME OR MONEY TO FIGHT SOMETHING LIKE THIS. I HAVE SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP THE JEEP WITH GAS THIS MORNING, FUEL SHOT OUT OF THE JEEP ABOUT 3 FEET AND ALSO RAN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP RIGHT WHEN THE FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF. HAD I BEEN STANDING IN FRONT OF THE FUEL TANK, I WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN GAS TO INCLUDE MY FACE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THIS! THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY PROBLEM, BUT A HAZMAT PROBLEM AS WELL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AT 40 MPH AND THEN STARTED FLASHING AND I HAD NO THROTTLE AND HAD TO DRIVE HOME ON IDLE. THIS WAS A USED CAR ON THE WAY HOME FROM PURCHASE. THE JEEP DEALER HAD IT FOR THREE DAYS AND SAYS THE GARAGE COMPUTER CORRECTED THE PROBLEM, BUT IT STILL HAPPENS ABOUT ONE A MONTH, I HAVE TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE KEY OFF AND RESTART FOR IT TO WORK. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A TERRIBLE WOBBLE IN MY FRONT TIRE THAT MAKES MY VEHICLE HARD TO MAINTAIN TO EVEN KEEP ON THE ROAD IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I COULD NOT EVEN STEER. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE IS ALLOWED ON THE ROAD WITH THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT. I HOPE SOMETHING GETS WORKED OUT WITH THE "DEATH WOBBLE". *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

SUSPENSION, STEERING
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED WITH 7907 MILES ON IT. WITHIN FOUR MONTHS I EXPERIENCED THE FRONT END SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN I HIT A BUMP. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE CAUSED BY BEING IN A CURVE WHEN IT HAPPENED. BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED SIX OR SEVEN TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR WITH TWO OCCURRENCES IN THE SAME DAY, YESTERDAY 11-1-11. I HAVE FOUND A LOCATION ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY I-294 WHERE AT 55MPH IT WILL OCCUR WHEN EVER I AM IN THE RIGHT LANE. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR TO A DEALER YET BECAUSE IT ONLY HAS 27000 MILES ON IT AND EVERYTHING LOOKS TIGHT IN THE FRONT END. THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOCK AND HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVER OFF ROAD. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I FOUND MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME TROUBLE. IT IS DESCRIBED AS "DEATH WOBBLE". I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED AT BY THE NTSB. WITH SO MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE, THERE MAY BE DESIGN FAULT. *TR
