FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY SINGLE TIME IT IS FILLED UP, IF IT WASN'T FOR ME HAVING TO HOLD IN THE NOZZLE THE ENTIRE TIME AND NOTICING IT IS OVERFLOWING, IT WOULD JUST KEEP OVERFLOWING GAS ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

LETTER RE THE PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED WITH A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER FEELS THAT VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THE NEW CAR LEMON LAW (ENTIRE PACKAGE NOT IMAGED, FORWARDED TO NVS-200) *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THERE HAVE BEEN REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE REMAINS DEFECTIVE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING SLUGGISH AND BURNING OIL, BUT NO LEAKS WERE FOUND. THE PROBLEM WENT ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE, BUT THE DEALER WOULD NOT APPROVE A NEW ENGINE, SO THEY KEPT REPLACING PARTS. THE VEHICLE WAS EVENTUALLY RETURNED TO THE CONSUMER, WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER CHECKED THE ENGINE AGAIN, AND DISCOVERED IT WAS BURNING 1 QUART OF OIL PER HOUR AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE HARD TOP WAS LEAKING AND RUINED THE CARPET. THE STARTER WAS DEFECTIVE. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION WAS EXHIBITING A BURNING SMELL, IT WOULD SLIP AND WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR AND THE FLUID WAS NO LONGER THE CORRECT COLOR. ALSO, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ROSE JUST UNDER THE OVERHEATING POINT. THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN WAS DEFECTIVE. ALSO, THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSFER CASE. *JB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, EQUIPMENT, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
2008 RHD JEEP WRANGLER AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON MEANING AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. CLOCK SPRING/CORROSION ISSUE CAUSING HORN NOT TO WORK WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD. MANY MAIL CARRIERS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES. VEHICLE WILL NOT ALWAYS START. THIS WHOLE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT HAS MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE MOTOR WENT OUT ON MINE AT 52,000 MILES. THE WARRANTY IS ONLY FOR 36,000 MILES. THE MOTOR WAS REBUILT BY A JEEP DEALER AND I WAS TOLD IT HAD A SPUN BEARING. THE AIR BLOWER CONTROLLER ALSO DOES NOT WORK HALF OF THE TIME. THESE RHD JEEPS ARE ALL LEMONS AND POSE SAFETY HAZARDS TO MAIL CARRIERS WHO SPEND MOST OF THEIR DAY OUT ON THE ROAD. THE HORN ISSUE IS A THREAT TO THE PUBLIC AS YOU CANNOT WARN AN UNSUSPECTING DRIVER OR PEDESTRIAN OF YOUR PROCESS. THE AIRBAG ISSUE IS A THREAT TO THE DRIVER. YOU SPEND $25,000 ON A VEHICLE, YOU EXPECT BETTER. *TR

AIR BAGS
THIS IS MY THIRD CLOCKSPRING IN JUST OVER TWO YEARS. I RUN A JEEP TOUR COMPANY WITH TWO JEEPS, TWO BEING THE 4 DOOR UNLIMITED. JUST AFTER REPLACING THE SECOND ONE IN JUST UNDER TWO YEARS ON THE 07 JEEP THIS ONE WENT OUT. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH OR LESS WHEN THE AIRBAG WAS ILLUMINATED. BASED ON PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH THE 07 I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND DISCOVERED THIS CLOCKSPRING HAD BECOME DEFECTIVE AS THE PRIOR TWO. I REPLACED THIS CLOCKSPRING MYSELF TO SAVE ON COSTS AS THE TWO PRIOR REPLACEMENTS COST OVER $400 EACH TIME. I HAVE SAVED TWO OF THESE CLOCKSPRINGS IF NEEDED FOR INVESTIGATION.

I OWN A JEEP TOUR COMPANY AND THIS IS THE THIRD CLOCKSPRING I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IN TWO DIFFERENT JEEPS. WHILE TRAVELING AT 5MPH OR UNDER THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AFTER HAVING THE DEALER CHECK IT OUT I WAS ADVISED IT WAS A CLOCKSPRING ISSUE. I REPLACED THIS ONE ON MY OWN. THEY CHARGE $1450 JUST TO CHECK WHAT PART, THEN $280 FOR THE PART. THIS HAS BEEN DONE AT TTO SEPERATE LOCAL DEALER SHIPS. I HAVE SAVED TWO CLOCKSPRINGS, ONE DONE FROM A 2007 JEEP AND ONE FROM THIS 2008.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
THIS IS THE FIRST OF THREE SIMILAR INCIDENTS CONCERNING TWO DIFFERENT JEEPS AND CLOCKSPRING FAILURE. IN THIS INCIDENT THEY ADVISED THAT IT WAS CAUSED FROM A BIG JARRING. IN THE SECOND INCIDENT THEY SAID DUST. THE THIRD ONE, IN A SEPARATE 2008 WRANGER I REPLACED MYSELF. THEY CHARGE APPROXIMATELY $150 FOR LESS THEN A MINUTE OF DIAGNOSTIC AND APPROXIMATELY $250 FOR A PART THAT COSTS LESS THEN $180. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FLEECING OF THE PUBLIC AND NEEDS THE ATTENTION OF YOUR AGENCY. THERE IS A WAY TO DISABLE THE THE AIRBAG SOUND AND BECAUSE OF THESE COSTS IT COULD/WILL LEAD TO A DEATH FROM FAILURE.

I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON NEW. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, I DISCOVERED THAT GASOLINE WOULD FREQUENTLY OVERFLOW THE FILLER PORT WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE. FOR SOME REASON, ONCE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, FUEL OVERFLOWS THE PORT AND FLOWS OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. *KB

THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS AND SPITS BACK GAS EVERYTIME I REFILL THE JEEP'S FUEL TANK. WHEN THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ON THE GAS STATION PUMP IS ENGAGED THE GAS SPRAYS OUT OF THE FUEL CAP AREA OF THE 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED I AM FILLING THE TANK. *KB
