UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STEERING, SUSPENSION
TAKATA RECALL....WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 68 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE OVERPASS TODAY, MY JEEP WENT INTO THE DREADED "DEATH WOBBLE". IT WAS HORRIFYING...I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND THOUGHT I WOULD FALL OVER THE OVERPASS. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO BUMPS OR POT HOLES. THIS IS THE SCARIEST THING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED ON THE ROAD. IT FELT LIKE 4 BLOW-OUTS SIMULTANEOUSLY. I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL ON SUCH A DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL SPILLS OUT WHEN FILLING TANK. THE SHUTOFF ON THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURRING. THIS IS NOT AN OVERFILL BUT HAPPENS EVEN WHEN THE PRESSURE IS LIGHT. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN. CHRYSLER/JEEP HAS A TSB TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2010

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS VEHICLE FREQUENTLY EXPERIENCES FUEL "SPIT-BACK" ON FILLING. IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 10/06, FIVE MONTHS BEFORE THE DATE IN JEEP'S LIFETIME FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT EXTENDED GUARANTY FOR SPIT-BACK. ALSO, THE TANK BEGAN LEAKING AFTER EVERY FILL UP. IT LEAKED ON THE GROUND AND/OR WITH GAS FUMES PRESENT UNTIL THE TANK LEVEL GOT BELOW 1/2 TANK THE LEAK SOURCE WAS WHERE THE FUEL PUMP IS INSERTED INTO THE TOP OF TANK. THE IRON CLAMPS AND LOCK RING FOR THE FUEL PUMP ARE LOCATED IN A DEPRESSED "BOWL" AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. WATER ACCUMULATES AND REMAINS IN THE BOWL CAUSING THE LOCK RING AND CLAMPS TO RUST. THE RUST EXPANDS AND CRACKS THE PLASTIC THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS MADE OF. THE REPAIR REQUIRES REPLACING THE FUEL TANK, LOCK RING, AND FUEL PUMP. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND THESE CONDITIONS CAUSE SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY PROBLEMS. I INFORMED JEEP (CASE NUMBER 30126422) ON 9/15/16 AND THEY DECLINED TO DO ANYTHING. I HAVE SPENT $1,019.60 ON EMERGENCY AND PERMANENT REPAIRS. PHOTOS OF THE TANK AS IT WAS REMOVED FROM THE JEEP SHOWING "THE BOWL" AND RUST, RUSTED CLAMPS, AND CRACKED FUEL PUMP ARE ATTACHED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I CAN PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.
