EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK UP THE PUMP NOZZLE DOES NOT SHUT OF AUTOMATICALLY AND I GET WHAT SEEMS LIKE A HALF A GALLON OF FUEL ON THE GROUND OR ON THE SIDE OF MY JEEP. I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT JEEP OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND ITS DUE TO A FAULTY ESIM SWITCH OR SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WHOLE GAS TANK ON JEEPS. *TR

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.

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.

2007 JEEP WRANGLER/ LESS THAN 18 K MILES: HIT MINOR BUMP AT APPROX 40 MILES/ HR, FRONT END BEGAN VIOLENT WOBBLING AND I COULD NOT STOP THE WOBBLE UNTIL I FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THIS SITUATION DID NOT RESULT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS WAS THE 1ST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME, JUST PURCHASED 2 MONTHS AGO. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX PROBLEM. DID RESEARCH AND I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 45 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS; EVER. *TR

IN 208 I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER, WITH 11,000 MILES, AFTER DRIVING ONLY 1,000. MILES MY FRONT END STARTING WOBBLING VIOLENTLY, RETURNED TO DEALER AND THEY STATED MY TIRES NEEDED TO BE ROAD FORCED BALANCE, WITHIN 3 MONTHS WHILE DRIVING TO WORK GOING ABOUT 45MPH THE TRUCK FRONT END DID THE KNOW DEATH WOBBLE, RETURNED TO THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD MY TIRES WERE CUPPED, PURCHASED NEW TIRES, SEEM TO ELEVATE THE PROBLEM, ONLY FOR IT TO HAPPEN SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND TWO ADDITIONAL SET OF TIRES. I AM NOW DRIVING ON A SET OF TIRES THAT IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, AND HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, WAS ON THE INTERSTATE LAST WEEK DRIVING ABOUT 70MPH WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE MY FRONT END STARTED TO WOBBLE OUT OF CONTROL, I DID MANAGE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH BUT WAS SHIFTED INTO ANOTHER LANE, COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING, WAS LUCKY THE INTERSTATE WAS NOT BUSY, THIS COULD OF RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED ON THE SUSPENSION, THE 2010-2011 JEEPS HAVE HAD ONE SO OBVIOUSLY CHRYSLER IS AWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT END SUSPENSION. THIS WILL BE A COSTLY REPAIR,SO MANY DIFFERENT POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS BUT NONE ARE A GUARANTEE, SEEM TO ME CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY DESIGN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

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
