AIR BAGS
WRANGLER HAS A FAILED CLOCKSPRING AND ALWAYS GETS AIRBAG LIGHT ON AFTER DRIVING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT TO FIX THIS. THERE ARE MANY FAILURES REPORTED AND JEEP SHOULD BE LIABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 37,000 MILES. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY JEEP THE FUEL WILL NOT STOP FLOW WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. INSTEAD GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER EVERY TIME I REFUEL, RESULTING IN A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF FUEL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I REFUEL AND OCCURS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. AFTER READING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE ON THE INTERNET SUGGESTING THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP ITSELF, I WANTED TO REPORT THIS EVENT. *TT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
WHENEVER I PUT GAS INTO MY TANK AND FILL UP, THERE IS ALWAYS AN OVERFLOW OF GASOLINE SPILLING OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO MY JEEP AS WELL AS ONTO THE FLOOR. ASIDE FROM THE DAMAGE BEING DONE TO MY VEHICLE, THIS CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT FROM FUMES AS WELL AS RAISING THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRES. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT A USED 2008 4 DOOR JEEP WRANGLER JUST OVER 2 MONTHS AGO. IN THIS TIME I HAVE NOTICED EVERY TIME WE FILL UP WITH GAS, NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION WE USE, GAS SPILLS EVERYWHERE. ALSO, THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED AFTER A MONTH OF HAVING THE JEEP. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY. WE HAD TO PAY THE FOR THE TEST AND THEN WE REPLACED THE BATTERY OURSELVES, A COUPLE DAYS LATER THE JEEP WOULD NOT START AGAIN! I PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. SO NOW AT LEAST ONCE A DAY I HAVE TO PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL TO START IT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT IT IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO DRAIN MY BATTERY AGAIN AND I AM GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING BATTERIES. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND BOTH OF THESE ARE "KNOWN" AND "COMMON" PROBLEMS, YET WHEN I CONTACTED JEEP THEY ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT AND TELL ME I NEED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND PAY TO HAVE THEM RUN MORE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS ON IT! NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. *KB

STEERING
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA AND HAVE RECENTLY HAD INCREASING INCIDENTS OCCUR WHERE THE STEERING WILL WOBBLE/VIBRATE CAUSING UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING. IT IS A FEELING LIKE THE WHEELS ARE FALLING OFF OR YOU HAVE FLAT TIRES PULLING YOU FROM SIDE TO SIDE. ONCE IT STARTS THIS PROCESS, IT SEEMS TO INCREASE IN INCIDENTS AND WILL USUALLY BE TRIGGERED BY HITTING SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD, IE. CONSTRUCTION ZONE. BUT, ONCE IT OCCURS, IT WILL HAVE CONTINUED INSTANCES EVEN WHEN DRIVING OVER SLIGHTLY CURVED/UNLEVEL ROAD. I HAD TO ATTEMPT TO PULL OFF I-10 GOING 65MPH W/OUT STEERING CONTROL! ONCE SLOWED TO BELOW 30/35MPH IT SEEMS TO GET BETTER CURRENTLY, BUT CONTINUES NUMEROUS TIMES LATER. *KB

STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING OVER 55 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,500.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HAVE AN 01 JEEP TJ WRANGLER, I HAVE RECENTLY NOTICED A DROP IN PERFORMANCE ALONG WITH SLOWLY VANISHING COOLANT. SEVERAL DAYS AGO WHILE IN TRAFFIC, THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED LOW ENOUGH TO SET OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AS SOON AS I BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN THE OIL PRESSURE RAISED HIGH ENOUGH TO TO CLEAR THE LIGHT. HOWEVER AS SOON AS I CAME TO THE NEXT LIGHT THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. UPON RETURNING HOME I LOOKED UP THE SYMPTOMS ON THE INTERNET AND IT ALL LED ME TO A VERY COMMON CRACKED HEAD BETWEEN THE 3-4 CYLINDER. I WAS ALL TOO SURPRISED TO FIND OUT HOW EXTREMELY COMMON THAT IS. *KB

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS, TIRES:VALVE
TIRE VALVE FAILURE IN JEEP WRANGLERS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ACROSS THE ONLINE CHAT BOARDS. I OWN A 3 YEAR OLD JEEP WRANGLER AND THE TIRE VALVE CRUMBLED IN MY HANDS WHEN TRYING TO INFLATE THE TIRE TO CORRECT PRESSURE. APPARENTLY THE METAL USED IN THE TIRE VALVE DEGRADES EASILY AND EVEN THE DEALERSHIP IS WELL AWARE OF THIS CONSTANT REPAIR. AFTER FAILURE OF THE TIRE VALVE, THE TIRE DEFLATES QUICKLY. IT CAN START WITH A HAIRLINE CRACK DOWN THE VALVE STEM OR JUST BREAK OFF ACROSS THE VALVE BY THE TIRE RIM. IT IS A TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FAILURE AND CAN BE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS IF IT FAILS AT THE WRONG TIME. THE VALVE STEM IS HOOKED UP TO A TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM SO THE APPARATUS IS EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. THE REMEDY IS TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF EACH TIRES VALVE SYSTEM WITH AN EXACT REPLICA OF THE FIRST FAULTY PART. THE FAILURE OF THIS ITEM IS CONCERNING AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *KB

SUSPENSION
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TIRES WERE BALANCED, ROTATED AND ALIGNED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED A SECOND TIME; YET, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW WITHIN THE WHEELS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000. UPDATED 8/29/11 *CN THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE DEFECT WAS IN THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM, NOT IN THE WHEELS. UPDATED 10/03/11

TIRES
I HAD A SET OF BF GOODRICH MUD TERRAIN TIRES 33" ON A 06 WRANGLER. THE TIRES WERE ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD BUT HAD BARELY BEEN USED, APPROXIMATELY 80% OF THE TREAD WAS LEFT. I SWAPPED THESE TIRES FROM A 73 CJ5 THAT I JUST WASN'T USING THAT MUCH ANYMORE. AFTER AROUND 4000-5000 MILES AFTER THE SWITCH THE TIRE POPPED ON ME GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DOING 75-80 MPH. THE VEHICLE SHOOK FOR 2-3 SECONDS THEN I HEARD A "POP", INSTANTLY THIS THREW MY VEHICLE WHERE IT FLIPPED AND ROLLED AND TOTALED THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO BE AIRLIFTED AWAY AS A RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT. INVESTIGATORS FROM JEEP AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY BOTH CONCLUDED THAT THIS WAS A PRODUCT DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. WHILE TAKING UP THE ISSUE WITH BF GOODRICH THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE TIRE IN TO BE INSPECTED. THE TIRE STORE STATED AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS OF LOOKING AT THE TIRE THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A ROAD HAZARD. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AT ALL DURING THIS 4 HOUR TRIP THAT I WAS JUST ON AND THE TIRE WAS INFLATED AT 35 PSI. BF GOODRICH DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE ACCIDENT OR MY INJURIES. THEY DID OFFER ME 30% OFF A NEW TIRE. TOO BAD I DON'T HAVE A VEHICLE TO PUT A TIRE ON ANYMORE. I CHECKED THE AIR PRESSURE PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF THE TRIP FROM SAN DIEGO TO PHOENIX. I ALSO FILLED UP WITH GAS AND WALKED AROUND THE JEEP, TO WASH THE WINDOWS, AND DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES. THE ROAD THAT I WAS TRAVELING ON WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND FREE FROM OBJECTS. I DID NOT RUN OVER ANYTHING. I DO HAVE CUSTODY OF THE BAD TIRE STILL ON THE RIM AND PLENTY OF PICTURES OF THE TIRE AND THE VEHICLE AFTER THE ACCIDENT. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE TIRE FAILURE CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. ONE PERSON SAID THAT THE TIRE LOOKED ALMOST LIKE IT WAS RE-TREADED. *KB

SUSPENSION:FRONT
2004 JEEP WRANGLER "DEATH WOBBLE" . OCCURS AT 45-55MPH. WHEEL BALANCE, TIRE ROTATION, STEERING STABILIZER/DAMPER-ALL REPAIRED, ADJUSTED OR REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAS 75,000 MILES AND BEGAN AROUND 45,000 MILES AND IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP! THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO WOBBLE AT AROUND 45PMH WHEN IT STRIKES A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD OR SOMETIMES WHEN NO PERCEIVED BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! *KB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I HAVE A 2007 WRANGLER X WITH 37K ON IT, AND FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT HAS ILLUMUNATED AND IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE STILL UNDER WARRENTY AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT FIX IT OR EVEN MENTION THAT IT EXISTED, A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT ONLY THAT BUT ALSO THE CRUIZ CONTROL AND HORN DO NOT WORK EITHER. CAN YOU SAY CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ADJUST ACCORDINGLY WITH THE FAULTY CLOCKSPRING DEAL? THIS IS REDICULOUS AND I CAN NOT AFFORD 500 BUCKS TO THROW INTO FAULTY PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. WHERE IS CHRYSLER??? ARE YOU LISTENING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS? NO. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON OCCASIONALLY MAKING A WARNING BELL. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE AIRBAG IS FUNCTIONAL. HAD IT TO THE DEALER ONCE BUT SINCE I WORK IN THIS VEHICLE I COULD NOT LEAVE IT SO THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE IF IT IS THE CLOCKSPRING OR AN AIRBAG MODULE. THE FUEL INLET ALSO SPEWS GAS WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE FUEL ISSUE, BUT I HAVE HAD PARTS ON ORDER FOR EIGHT MONTHS AND THEY ARE STILL ON BACKORDER.

STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT REFERRED TO THE SHAKING AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO SLIGHTLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS FORCED TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. PREVIOUSLY, THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A STEERING STABILIZER REPLACED FOR THE "DEATH WOBBLE" BUT THAT DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE THE CURRENT FAILURE DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED SINCE THE FAILURE COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.
