TAKATA RECALL
Power train, Electrical system, Oct 27, 2017
JEEP WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN TURNING THE KEY OVER THE JEEP WILL CLICK ONCE AND THE STARTER WILL NOT TURN OVER. SOMETIMES YOU CAN TRY AGIN RIGHT AWAY AND IT'LL START. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO WIGGLE THE GEAR SHIFTER, AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES AWHILE TO GET IT TO TURN OVER AND START. I WAS TOLD IT IS EITHER AN IGNITION PROBLEM OR A NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH, BUT GEARED TOWARDS THE LATTER. IT DOES IT WHETHER PARKED ON A HILL, FLAT, WARM OR COLD. ACCORDING TO MANY JEEP PAGES AND FORUMS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM

ON MONDAY OCTOBER 16, 2017 I STARTED MY JEEP TO LEAVE FOR WORK. AS I BACKED OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE AT MY APARTMENT AND FELT THE BRAKE PEDAL GO TO THE FLOOR. I ALMOST HIT A NEARBY CAR BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR INTO AN OPPOSITE PARKING SPACE AND THE CURB HELPED ME STOP THE CAR. I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR THE DAY BEFORE WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A NEARBY REPAIR CENTER. THE MECHANIC CALLED ME TO EXPLAIN THAT THE BRAKE CABLE HAD CORRODED AND THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND OLDER JEEP THAT HE HAD SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM. HE SUGGESTED THAT I NOTIFY YOU TO REPORT THIS ISSUE. I'M COUNTING MY BLESSINGS THAT THIS HAPPENED IN MY PARKING LOT AND NOT A FEW MINUTES LATER WHEN I WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. THE TOTAL COST OF MY REPAIR WAS $446 BECAUSE THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN REDESIGNED ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC. IT IS MY HOPE THAT ENOUGH OF THESE PROBLEMS WILL BE REPORTED AND THAT JEEP WILL CONDUCT A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM ATTACHING A PICTURE OF MY DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE AND ALSO A COPY OF MY REPAIR BILL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION OR WHAT STEPS I CAN TAKE TO ENSURE THAT NO ONE ELSE WILL HAVE THIS POTENTIAL FAILURE OF THEIR BRAKES CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

TAKADA RECALL. I RECENTLY HAD MY RECALLED DEFECTIVE TAKADA AIR BAG REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT ANTWERPEN JEEP IN CATONSVILLE MD. AFTER REPLACING THE AIR BAG, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS STILL ON IN MY VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD DIAGNOSE THE LIGHT FOR $135.00. I REFUSED TO PAY THIS BECAUSE THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING UNDER WARRANTY AND I INFORMED THEM OF MY AIR BAG LIGHT PROBLEM THEN. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $200.00 AT THAT TIME TO DIAGNOSE THE SYSTEM THAT THEY HAD JUST WORKED ON. I NOW FEEL THAT I CANNOT TRUST THIS DEALERSHIP TO WORK MY VEHICLE FOR THESE SAFETY ISSUES. THIS JEEP HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM I HAVE HAD SINCE I BOUGHT THIS JEEP NEW IN DECEMBER OF 2006 FROM ANTWERPEN JEEP OF CATONSVILLE. THANK YOU

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH AND UNCONTROLLABLE OSCILLATION OCCURRED IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND WHEELS. THE OSCILLATION OCCURRS WHEN GOING AROUND A TURN AND WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT. THE SHAKING IS SO BAD THE VEHICLE IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. EACH TIME I HAD TO APPLY THE BREAKS TRY AND AVOID TRAFFIC AND PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

WHEN USING A GAS PUMP TO AUTO-FILL THE TANK, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND THE TANK OVERFLOWS SOME OF THE FUEL ONTO THE PAINT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE JEEP. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I GO TO, THE STYLE OF NOZZLE, OR THE ANGLE THE NOZZLE IS USED AT. IT OVER FILLS EVERY TIME.

I JUST BOUGHT THE JEEP ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. I TOOK IT TO THE GAS STATION AND WALKED AWAY TO CLEAN THE WINDOWS WHILE IT WAS FILLING UP. I LOOK OVER AND GAS IS SPEWING OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. I THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD GAS PUMP. ON THE NEXT FILL UP, IT DID IT AGAIN. I LOOKED ON GOOGLE AND I FIND THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND HAS NOT DONE A RECALL ON THIS. ON SOME OF THEIR OTHER VEHICLES BUT NOT THIS ONE. I AM HOPING THAT NOT ONLY CAN YOU GET CHRYSLER TO FIX MINE, BUT FORCE TO TO DO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

BOUGHT THE CAR USED. HAD PLENTY OF OIL AND BASED ON THE DATE AND MILES FROM THE PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE HAD ABOUT 600 MILES LEFT BEFORE NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. NO LIGHT CAME ON NO GAGE INFORMED US THAT I WAS LOW ON OIL AND MY ENGINE SEIZED, I REPLACED THE ENGINE $6000.00 LATER AND NOW THE BRAKE HOSE STARTED SHOOTING OIL ALL OVER MY REAR TIRES WHILE DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND NEARLY CRASHED HAVING ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES. PLEASE TELL ME WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEATH TRAP. IF IT IS ME THAN I AM GOING TO ALL LOCAL NEWS STATIONS TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS HOW DANGEROUS THESE JEEPS ARE

ONLY AFTER MY WARRANTIES WERE UP DID THEY SAY THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM IF I PAID FOR THE LABOR. THE ENGINE HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM ALSO FROM THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT, THE DEALERSHIP HAS COVERED IT UP AGAIN UNTIL THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THEY FOUND 5 LEAKY AREAS IN THE ENGINE.

EVERYIME THIS VEHICLE IS FUELED FULL AT THE GAS PUMP, IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS RESULTS IN AN OVERFLOW OF GASOLINE, EVERYWHERE...ON MY HANDS, DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND PUDDLES ON THE GROUND. THERE IS NO WARNING AND THE ONLY WAY I AM ABLE TO FILL THE TANK IS BY TURNING THE ENGINE ON AND WATCHING THE MILEAGE INCREASE ON THE DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE) DISPLAY ON MY DASH.... WHICH IS NOT SAFE TO DO. IT OCCURS EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY JEEP. THERE IS NO RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. IT'S BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED MY JEEP IN MARCH 2010.

I OPENED THE DOOR TO THE JEEP AND THE WIPERS, HORN AND WIPER FLUID ENGAGED NON-STOP WITHOUT A KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THEM WAS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. WHEN THE BATTERY CABLES ARE RECONNECTED, THE HORN, WIPERS AND WIPER FLUID SPRAYER ARE AGAIN ENGAGED. ON QUICK RESEARCH, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN TIPM FAILURE ISSUE THAT CAN ALSO EFFECT THE AIRBAG (PREVENTING DEPLOYMENT AS WELL AS RANDOMLY ENGAGING IT WHILE DRIVING), FUEL INJECTION CAUSING SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND VEHICLE CONTROL AS WELL AS ISSUES WITH LIGHTS AND GAUGES. ISSUES WERE SEVERE ENOUGH TO ISSUE A RECALL ON 2007 YEAR MODELS BUT SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE 2008 ARE NOT ADDRESSED. I WAS FORTUNATE THE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE WHEN THE TIPM FAILED AND NOT DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STAY IN 1ST GEAR (MANUAL 6 SPEED). YOU MUST HOLD THE SHIFTER, WITH FORCE IN FIRST GEAR OR ELSE IT "POPS OUT"...MAKES A BAD NOISE WHEN DOING SO. I LOOKED ON JEEP FORUMS AND THERE ARE 5 PAGES OR MORE OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS EXACT ISSUE. ITS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU PULL INTO AN INTERSECTION TO MAKE A TURN, AND ARE NOT HOLDING THE SHIFTER WITH ENOUGH FORCE AND IT POPS OUT OF GEAR, YOU MIGHT GET HIT BY AN ONCOMING CAR, SINCE YOU'VE STOPPED GOING FORWARD. PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE CAR BEHIND YOU MIGHT SLAM INTO YOU, BECAUSE YOU STARTED TO GO THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED GOING FORWARD. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THESE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WRANGLERS - THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS NOT A RANDOM OCCURRANCE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME.
