Engine, Dec 9, 2014
WE CALLED AUTOPARK CHRYSLER, THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE WE DID OUR LAST OIL CHANGE ON OUR OWN THAT THE WARRANTY WAS VOID AND THAT WE WOULD BE CHARGED TO DX THE PROBLEM AND THE ENGINE WOULD BE $7K. WE HAD THE ENGINE REPLACE AT ANOTHER SHOP. COST $5K. AT TIME OF REPAIR WE FOUND OUT THAT THE PROBLEM STEM FROM A MFG DEFECT. THE OIL PRESSURE VALVE LOCATED INSIDE THE ENGINE WAS MADE OF PLASTIC AND WAS COMPLETELY MELTED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER BY EMAIL AND WAS TOLD THAT SINCE WE DID NOT HAVE THE POWERTRAIN INSPECTION DONE THE WARRANTY WAS VOID. I EXPLAINED WE WERE NOT WANTING TO FILE A WARRANTY CLAIM. WE WERE REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE OF A MFG DEFECT. THEY REFUSED TO COVER COST OF REPAIRS. I THAN GOT CONNECTED WITH A CASE MANAGER AT CHRYSLER. SHE SAID I HAD TO GET THE POWERTRAIN INSPECTED BY 11-18-14. IT FAILED BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED I THAN SPOKE TO [XXX] WITH CHRYSLER. HE SAID THAT I SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER IN FEB 2014 NOT THE DEALER REGARDING THE WARRANTY. THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE OFFERED TO DO A FREE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY INSPECTION THAN OR REFER ME TO CONTACT CHRYSLER. [XXX] ALSO SAID THAT THE POWERTRAIN INSPECTION I WAS REQUIRED TO HAVE DONE NOV WAS TO NEGATE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY ON THE REPLACED ENGINE. WE FEEL THAT CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS.THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE THE ENGINE. CHRYSLER IS VERY AWARE OF THIS DEFECT. THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE TOLD US THEY NEEDED TO PERFORM A FREE INSPECTION OF THE MOTOR WHEN IT FAILED IN FEB 2014 TO DETERMINE IF THE REPAIRS WOULD BE COVERED RATHER THAN TURN US AWAY STATING THE WARRANTY WAS VOID, OR AT LEAST REFER US TO CALL CHRYSLER.PLEASE UNDERSTAND, MY CONCERN IS NOT REGARDING MAINTAINING THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE PROBLEM STEM FROM A MFG DEFECT. THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE THE ENGINE. *TR

WHEN FUELING MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED (SAHARA), GAS SPEWS BACK OUT OF THE TANK FOLLOWING THE AUTO SHUT OFF OF THE GAS PUMP. THIS IS MY SECOND FILL-UP SINCE PURCHASING THE JEEP NEW AND IT HAS HAPPENED BOTH TIME. IT OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SO IT ISN'T A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP OR NOZZLE. THE JEEP IS NOT PROPERLY VENTILATING THE GAS AND DETECTING THE LEVEL SO AS TO PREVENT THE GAS BLOW BACK. *JS

WHEN PULLING OUT INTO THE ROAD AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF 1ST GEAR. IT WAS DANGEROUS AS I LOST MY ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHEN I NEEDED IT THE MOST (CROSSING A BUSY ROAD). IT HAS BEEN SLIPPING OR POPPING OUT OF 1ST GEAR W INCREASING FREQUENCY. I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AND THEY FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN POSTED BY THE MANUFACTURE OF ESSENTIALLY A KNOWN ISSUE THAT OTHER PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THE JEEP HAS 28K MILES ON IT AND IS IN GREAT CONDITION OTHERWISE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND NOT CAUSES BY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY AND I FEEL IT SHOULD BE COVERED AS THIS PROBLEM IS BOTH A SAFETY ISSUE AND KNOWN DEFECT. *TR

LET ME MENTION, THAT I BOUGHT THIS JEEP BRAND NEW, AND STARTED HAVING STEERING PROBLEMS ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. IT WOULD PULL TO THE DRIVERS SIDE, AND WHEN HITTING UNEVEN PAYMENT OR BUMP, FELT AS THOUGH STEERING WHEEL PULLED OUT OF MY HANDS. LEARNED EARLY ON TO HOLD STEERING WHEEL VERY TIGHTLY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD MY TIRES NEEDED ROTATION AND SET AIR PRESSURE. MILEAGE AT THIS POINT WAS 4734. OVER TIME, LEARNED TO AVOID POTHOLES, UNEVEN PAYMENT OR ANY ROUGH ROAD. WHEN I DID TAKE IT IN TO DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT IMITATE MY PROBLEM. STILL MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON THE JEEP WITH THIS CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WAS GETTING REALLY OLD. ON 11/25/11, 2 YEARS AND 4 MONTHS OF PUTTING UP WITH THIS CRAP, TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THE STEERING WAS GETTING MORE OUT OF CONTROL AND I WOULD NOT ALLOW MY TEENAGE SON TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE. AT THIS POINT WAS TOLD NEEDED TIRES ROTATED AGAIN, AIR PRESSURE CHECK, REAR DISC BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED, ALSO WAS TOLD NEEDED FRONT AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID SERVICE. HAD TO DECLINE, CAUSE AT THIS POINT, TOTAL WAS ALREADY UP TO 325.63. THEY WANTED ANOTHER 195.00 TO DO IT. ON 6/4/14, DURING INSPECTION, WAS TOLD I NEED NEW TIRES. MILEAGE WAS 26,753. HAD ENOUGH TREAD TO PASS. THEY WANTED 1017.00, WENT TO COSTCO, SAME TIRES FOR 300 LESS. 2/21/14, MORE STEERING PROBLEMS, THIS TIME NEEDED NEW DAMPER, STEERING DAMPER WEAK PLUS TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER LINES NEEDED REPLACED. 6/14/14 STEERING/SUSPENSION EXHAUST HEAT SHIELD SEPARATED ON RIGHT SIDE HITTING OFF MUFFLER, ALSO FRONT AND REAR DIFF.

I PURCHASED A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER NEW. I HAVE NOT MODIFIED MY CAR IN ANY WAY, NOR HAVE I EVER TAKEN IT "OFF-ROAD OR FOUR-WHEELING". ' IN MARCH 2014 I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST "DEATH WOBBLE",' AN EXTREMELY VIOLENT, SHAKING OF THE FRONT WHEELS. SINCE THEN, IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, RESULTING IN REPAIRS (THAT STILL HAVEN'T SOLVED THE PROBLEM) TOTALING OVER $2000.00. I'M HESITANT TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIRS AGAIN BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND I DON''T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP MAKING REPAIRS FOR AN UNKNOWN PROBLEM. CHRYSLER/JEEP NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS BEING A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS EXTENSIVELY AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. THE ONLY TIME IT HAPPENS IS WHEN I'M GOING 40 MPH OR MORE, PRIMARILY ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ONLY WAY TO RE-GAIN CONTROL IS TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY AND PULL OVER OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP (WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY). CHRYSLER/JEEP MUST RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND PROVIDE A REMEDY/RECALL AND MONETARY COMPENSATION FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING.
