ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
THE CHRYSLER GROUP LLC AND MIDWAY JEEP CHRYSLER LOCATED AT 777 CAMINO DEL RIO SOUTH IN SAN DIEGO, CA ARE COLLUDING THE DENY CONSUMER RIGHTS AFFORDED ME UNDER STATE AND FEDERAL LAW, BREACH OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND VIOLATION OF STATE AND FEDERAL CLEAN VEHICLE EMISSION REGULATIONS. I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X ON APRIL 13TH, 2007. SINCE THEN, I HAVE TO ADD 6 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE VEHICLES WARRANTY. AFTER CURSORY EXAMINATION THAT INCLUDED VISUALLY CHECKING THE DIP STICK, VISUALLY CHECKING THE SPARK PLUGS, PVC, AND CVC VALVES, I WAS TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR MIDWAY JEEP CHRYSLER STATED THAT USING 6 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES IS PERFECTLY NORMAL AND MIDWAY JEEP NOR CHRYSLER WILL NOT PERFORM ANY OTHER INVESTIGATIVE DIAGNOSTICS, NOR MAKE ANY REPAIRS TO VEHICLE. THEY APPEAR TO BE COLLUDING TO 'RUN OUT THE CLOCK' FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRES ON APRIL 12TH, 2010. AFTER CONSULTING AUTOMOTIVE EXPERTS AND TECHNICIANS, WHICH I HIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE, HAVE BEEN UNANIMOUS IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS THAT THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE HAS SERIOUS INTERNAL MECHANICAL ISSUES AND THE ENGINE WILL FAIL. FURTHER MORE, THE AMOUNT OF OIL BEING CONSUMED IS DESTROYING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, OXYGEN SENSORS AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS WILL RENDER THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW AND REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL REPAIRS AT GREAT COST. *TR

STEERING
ABOUT A MONTH AGO, AS WE WERE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY JEEP STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AS WE HIT A BUMP GOING ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR. IT FELT LIKE WE HAD A FLAT TIRE SO WE QUICKLY PULLED OVER. WE CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. SINCE IT CONTINUED TO DRIVE FINE, WE DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT. THREE WEEKS LATER, DRIVING AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED, THIS TIME MUCH WORSE. THE VEHICLES SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY I HAD A HARD TIME CONTROLLING IT. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY SCARY BECAUSE THE ROADS WERE WET. LUCKILY, WE WERE SEAT BELTED IN, BUT MY POOR DOG GOT TOSSED AROUND LIKE A SALAD. SHAKING, AND VERY UPSET, WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN TWO MORE TIMES. THE NEXT DAY WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO OUR MECHANIC. ALTHOUGH HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AT FIRST, WE DID SOME RESEARCH. WE WENT TO THE INTERNET AND TYPED IN THE SEARCH 'JEEP VIOLENTLY SHAKES.' WE WERE QUITE SURPRISED AND SHOCKED WITH WHAT WE FOUND. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR YEARS WITH JEEP. IT HAS EVEN BEEN TERMED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' BECAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS. WE FOUND THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM DATING ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE EARLY 90'S. WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS, JEEP HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON 2007 MODELS BUT APPARENTLY WILL GLADLY CHARGE THEIR CUSTOMERS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX PARTS THAT MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE MAIN PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WITH THE STEERING DAMPER. THE DAMPER IS TOO SMALL. ALTHOUGH JEEP WON'T OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZE THIS AS A PROBLEM, IT HAS BEEN FIXED WITH THE 2010 MODELS BY PUTTING IN A LARGER DAMPER. WHEN I CALLED A FEW DEALERSHIPS TO FIND THE PART, I WAS TOLD THE DAMPER DOESN'T EXIST IN MY MODEL. I WAS ABLE TO FIND A 2010 DAMPER AND HAD MY MECHANIC PUT IT IN MY VEHICLE. THE ONE THAT HE REPLACED WAS NOT ONLY TWICE THE SIZE OF THE EXISTING ONE, BUT THE EXISTING ONE WAS LEAKING FLUID. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
2009 JEEP WRANGLER HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING, SOMETIMES LOSES POWER, AND/OR BUCKS RANDOMLY. WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO START ACCELERATING, WITH THE DELAY BEING IN THE ORDER OF 2 SECONDS OR MORE. WHEN MERGING, THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES LOSES POWER IF YOU STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR HARD. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND ACCELERATING GENTLY, IT SOMETIMES HESITATES OR 'BUCKS' AND THEN GAINS POWER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 JEEP WRANGLER - WHEN FILLING WITH FUEL AT ANY SERVICE STATION THE FUEL TANK WILL OVERFILL CAUSING FUEL TO RUSH OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND ONTO ANYONE OR ANYTHING STANDING IN THE WAY. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN COVERED IN FUEL BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN FULL. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND HEALTH HAZARD WITH FUEL BEING DUMPED ON THE GROUND AT SERVICE STATIONS. MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED AND MORE CAN BE READ AT JEEPFORUMS.COM. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! IT IS A DANGER! *TR

I BOUGHT THE JEEP AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CHRYSLER. I'VE ONLY OWNED THE JEEP FOR A MONTH AND NOTICED GAS PUMPS DO NOT SHUT OFF WHEN FILLING THE TANK. I'VE TRIED MULTIPLE PUMPS, AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S NOT SOMETHING COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL TANK, EVERY TIME I FILL UP, REGARDLESS OF THE GAS STATION I GO TO, FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED ONTO THE PAVEMENT. I HAVE TRIED OVER 30 DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS IN 3 DIFFERENT STATES. I HAVE HEARD THIS SAME COMPLAINT FROM MANY OTHER JEEP AND CHRYSLER PRODUCT OWNERS. THE CONSTANT EXPOSURE TO FUEL IS DAMAGING THE PAINT ON MY FENDER AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE PAVEMENT. ALSO, I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FIRE EVERY TIME I FILL UP. *TR

EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE COMPLAINT IS HOW CHRYSLER CORP. IS ADDRESSING THE J30 RECALL. TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING CAUSING ENGINE FIRES. I OWN A 2008 WRANGLER THAT COST 50K. FOR THE J30 RECALL FIX THEY ARE ADDING A HOT OIL ICON ON THE DASH AND FLASH THE COMPUTER TO RECOGNIZE A SENSOR. THE ENGINE CAN STILL CATCH FIRE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO ADD A NEW TRANSMISSION COOLER TO COOL THE FLUID, AND PREVENT THE OIL FROM BOILING. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER ENGINE FIRES CAN HAPPEN IN CITY TRAFFIC STARTING AND STOPPING. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULD SELL ME ONE AT $500 WITH TWO HOURS OF LABOR AT $110 PER HR. IF THIS IS A RECALL, DUE TO FAULTY ENGINEERING, THEN WHY DOES THE CUSTOMER HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THE RECALL ??? I AM WRITING THIS BEFORE THERE IS PROPERTY AND OR PERSONAL DAMAGE. HOPEFULLY, SOMEONE IN NHTSA CAN HELP WITH THE WAY CHRYSLER IS HANDLING THIS PARTICULAR RECALL. *TR

VEHICLE SPRAYS OUT GASOLINE WHENEVER I FILL IT UP. 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM FILL UPS, USUALLY 3 OUT OF 5 TIMES. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I FILL THE TANK TO FULL. THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS ISSUE A FEW TIMES ALREADY. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING ON ALOT OF JEEP VEHICLES. *TR
