PARKING BRAKE
EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE FAILURE. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE I NOTICED THE PARKING BRAKE DID NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE IN PLACE LIKE IT SHOULD. UPON PARKING ONE EVENING, I MUST HAVE LEFT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL BUT I HAD SET THE BRAKE FULLY. IN THE MORNING, MY JEEP HAD DRIFTED FORWARD INTO MY OTHER VEHICLE, CAUSING MINOR DAMAGES TO BOTH. THE DEALER CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG. TO THIS DATE, AND MILEAGE (60,000) THE BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE ON THE SLIGHTEST OF GRADE. *TR

AIR BAG LITE AND ALARM ON/OFF. 3 CHRYSLER DEALERS UNABLE TO FIX. I BELIEVE IT IS THE CLOCKSPRING. I BELIEVE IT IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE AS IS. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I NEED TO FILL MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER WITH GAS IT SPILLS OUT OF THE NOZZLE AND ALL OVER THE GROUND RIGHT AT THE PUMP. THIS SITUATION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND WASTEFUL. NO MATTER HOW THE NOZZLE IS HELD, WHAT GAS COMPANY I USE OR HOW SLOW I LET IT PUMP IN THE FUEL SEEMS TO CHANGE THE FINAL OUTCOME OF A LARGE SLOSH OF GASOLINE GUSHING OUT ONTO THE GROUND. AS AN ADDED CONSEQUENCE, MANY GAS STATIONS DON'T EVEN HAVE THE MEANS OR PROPER EQUIPMENT TO CLEAN UP THIS HAZARDOUS WASTE SPILL. I HAVE SEEN NOTHING RELEASED AND NO FIXES FOR THIS PROBLEM FROM JEEP OR ANY OTHER COMPANY BECAUSE APPARENTLY JEEP DOES NOT FEEL THAT IT IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH, DANGEROUS ENOUGH OR EVEN ENOUGH OF A PAIN TO THEIR CUSTOMERS TO OFFER A REMEDY. IF IT WASN'T SO DANGEROUS TO HOLD AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE WHILE FILLING MY VEHICLE, I'D HAPPILY SEND A VIDEO IN OF WHAT IT DOES WHEN IT REACHES THE TOP OF THE TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED, A BURNING RUBBER ODOR EMITTED FROM THE VENTS AS THE IGNITION FAILED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD FREQUENTLY FAIL TO IMMEDIATELY START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE. THE DEALER WIPED AND SPRAYED THE VENTS, BUT THE BURNING ODOR WAS STILL PRESENT AND THE STARTING FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,000. UPDATED 09/15/11*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED SHE NOTICED A CHEMICAL, FUEL LIKE BURNING RUBBER SMELL. THE VEHICLE FAILS TO START OCCASIONALLY. THE SMELL EMITS EVEN WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS OFF AND THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING REGULARLY. UPDATED 09/16/11

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FAILURE TO SHIFT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO 1ST, 3RD, AND 4TH GEARS. ONLY STAYS IN 2ND GEAR OR REVERSE. WAS TOLD BY A DEALER THAT THE PCM WAS CAUSING THE MALFUNCTION. REPLACED THE PCM AND THE TCM ALSO BLEW OUT. THERE ARE ONLY 48000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND IS TAKEN CARE OF WELL. THERE SHOULDN'T BE ALL THE COMPUTERS GOING OUT ALL AT ONCE. NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO ASSIST FROM CHRYSLER. UNFORTUNATE, SINCE THIS IS MY THIRD WRANGLER AND I HAVEN'T EVER HAD THIS MANY ISSUES WITH ANY VEHICLE EVER. WAS A DIE-HARD FAN AND STOOD BY JEEP PRODUCTS. NOW I WILL MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS NOT TO PURCHASE THESE FAULTY VEHICLES. HOPEFULLY AFTER $1050 IN REPAIRS THIS RESOLVES THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES....BUT SOMEHOW WON'T COUNT ON IT!!! BOOOOO TO JEEP! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. *TR

STEERING, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
2008 JEEP WRANGLER "X". VERY BAD FRONT END WOBBLE WHEN HITTING SMALL BUMP AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND/OR BRAKING GOING DOWN HILL. SERIOUS CONTROL LOSS. KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE". BLAMED ON FRONT STEERING DAMPENER. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME THE FRONT STEERING DAMPENERS WERE REPLACED. FIRST OCCURRED 5 MONTHS AGO. REPLACED DAMPENER. HAPPENED AGAIN 3 MONTHS AGO. REPLACED DAMPENER ONCE AGAIN. OCCURRED AGAIN TODAY. TAKING INTO SHOP FOR SAME PROCEDURE. READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM. SEEMS TO TRANSCEND MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS. I'M SEARCHING TO SEE IF ANY CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS AGAINST CHRYSLER FOR THIS POOR DESIGN FEATURE EXISTS. PAYING OVER $22,500. FOR A VEHICLE SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IF DISCOVERED, SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY $400.00 EVERY TIME TO FIX. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS SERIOUS CONDITION AND REFUSES TO WARN CUSTOMERS OR PERFORM A RECALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AS I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK ONE MORNING I HIT THE KEY ALARM TO UNLOCK DOORS AND JEEP BEGAN HONKING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON AND BEGAN SPRAYING WINDSHIELD FLUID. I THOUGHT IT WAS ODD AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. ON THE WAY TO WORK IN TRAFFIC IT BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING AND THIS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES. AFTER GETTING TO WORK, THE JEEP WOULD HONK BY ITSELF EVERY 2-3 MINUTES. I DECIDED TO TAKE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT CONTINUED DOING THIS ON THE WAY THERE. AS I WAS ABOUT HALF A MILE FROM THE DEALERSHIP THE JEEP COMPLETELY TURNED OFF AND I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO START BACK UP BUT THIS TIME ALL A/C HAD STOPPED WORKING. AFTER GUTTING A CALL BACK FROM DEALERSHIP, HE SAID THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER AND THERE WAS AT LEAST A 100 ORDERS WAITING TO BE SHIPPED. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE IT LOOKS TO BE A WIDESPREAD THING WITH THE JEEPS. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH PREVIOUS TO THIS EMAIL THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE TIPM ON THE 2007 JEEP AND I'M WORRIED SOME OF THESE BAD ONES MAY HAVE GOTTEN INTO SOME OF THE 2008. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE FUELING THE CAR, WHEN THE PUMP SHUT OFF, SEVERAL CUPS OF GASOLINE OVERFLOWED ONTO THE CAR AND GROUND BELOW. I'VE OWNED THE CAR LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AND HAVE ONLY FILLED IT UP TWICE. BOTH TIMES GAS OVERFLOWED ON THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT ONLY INCONVENIENT, IT ALSO WASTES MONEY AND IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. I AM TRYING TO SEE IF THIS REPAIR CAN BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT, STEERING
VIOLENT FRONT END SHIMMY KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE". OCCURS AT SPEEDS OF 40-50 MPH. VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND IS UNCONTROLLABLE. INITIALLY, TAPPING THE BRAKES AND SLOWING SLIGHTLY WOULD STOP THE SHAKING, BUT PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSED TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO STOP THE SHAKING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE SHAKING POSES AN ACCIDENT RISK BY VIRTUE OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND/OR A REAR END COLLISION, AS THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT BRING THE VEHICLE TO A SUDDEN STOP IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED ONLINE AND IS THE SUBJECT OF TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 19-003-06 (AUGUST OF 2006). IT SHOULD BE NOTED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS TSB DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, IT ONLY MASKS THE PROBLEM BY ADDING A STEERING STABILIZER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WAS 4 WHEELING AND SMELL FUEL OUT OF THE RIGHT SIDE REAR. DEALER INSTALLED O RING: FUEL PUMP AND LEVEL. INSTALLED NEW FUEL TANK. 07/01/2011 SMELLED FUEL COMING FROM RIGHT REAR. DEALER DID SMOKE TEST AND FOUND LEAK AT THE EVAP CANISTER INSTALLED NEW VENT CANISTER. 08/04/2011. STILL SMELL FUEL FROM RIGHT REAR, DEALER DID SMOKE TEST FOUND NO LEAKS, BUT COULD SMELL FUEL VAPOR IN RIGHT REAR. STATED THAT WHEN OFF RODE FUEL MOVES MORE IN THE TANK AND THAT THE JEEP IS SAFE, AND NO FIX AT THIS TIME. HOW CAN THIS BE TRUE??. IF I WOULD STRIKE A MATCH IT WOULD EXPLODE AND LIFE COULD BE LOST.

STEERING
JEEP WRANGLER (2004) HAS THE STEERING SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVEN OVER 45MPH. NO DEALERSHIP OR GARAGE COULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I SPENT OVER $2000 IN NEW TIRES ALL NEW STEERING COMPONENTS AND SUSPENSION AS WELL AS WHEELS TO FIX A PROBLEM THE COMPANY REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE EXISTS SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THEIR UNIONS REDICULIOS COMMANDS WHILE PUTTING ME AND OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK. *TT
