MY WIFE TOOK MY WRANGLER TO GET GAS AND WHEN THE GUY PULLED OUT THE NOZZLE GAS SPRAYED OUT AND SOME GOT ON HIM AND MY JEEP THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME WAS 2/20/14 SAME GAS STATION DIFFERENT GUY. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED MY 4 DOOR, 09 WRANGLER ON THURSDAY MARCH 13. I FIRST HAD TO FILL IT UP THAT SATURDAY THE 15ND. WHEN I DID, THE GAS TANK CLICKED OFF BUT GAS STILL CAME POURING OUT OF THE TANK (NOT THE NOZZLE). I WAS INCREDIBLY IRRITATED I JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP AND NOW THERE WAS GAS POURING DOWN THE SIDE AND FENDERS. AFTER CLEANING IT UP I CHAULKED IT UP AS FAULTY EQUIPMENT AT THE GAS STATION . HOWEVER, THE NEXT 2 TIMES I FILLED UP, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS IS INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING. NOT ONLY IS IT DANGEROUS BUT ITS DISGUSTING. NOT TO MENTION THESE VEHICLES AREN'T CHEAP, WE DON'T NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT GAS EATING AWAY AT THE VEHICLE AS ANOTHER EXPENSIVE. I'VE HEARD THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ADDRESS IT. I FIND THIS EMBARRASSING ON THEIR PART AND SHOWS POOR BUSINESS PRACTICE. *TR
Steering, Suspension, Mar 15, 2014
IN AUGUST 2013 MY JEEP WRANGLER BEGAN TO DEVELOP AN UNPREDICTABLE, UNCONTROLLABLE, VIOLENT SHIMMY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SOMETIMES A SMALL BUMP OR A LANE CHANGE WOULD SET AN EVENT OFF. SHIMMY DID NOT STOP WITHOUT HARD BRAKING AND COMING TO A NEAR STOP. COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS "DEATH WOBBLE". THE FIRST ATTEMPT AT REPAIR, MILEAGE 30,381, WAS TO REPLACE THE FACTORY INSTALLED STEERING DAMPER WITH A UPGRADED STEERING DAMPER. THE NEW STEERING DAMPER REQUIRED DIFFERENT HARDWARE TO INSTALL. MY COST, $366.77 WHICH CHRYSLER REIMBURSED THE COST OF PARTS @ $266.77. I AM $100.00 OUT OF POCKET FOR LABOR COSTS TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE PART WHICH WAS INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY! THE PROBLEM OF UNCONTROLLED SHIMMY WAS NOT FIXED! THE SECOND ATTEMPT TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE, MILEAGE 32,982, WAS TO BALANCE AND ROTATE ALL TIRES. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED! THE THIRD ATTEMPT TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE, MILEAGE 33,902, INVOLVED REPLACING ALL FOUR DEFECTIVE BALL JOINTS AND A DEFECTIVE DRAG LINK ASSEMBLY. COST TO ME, $1793.47. CHRYSLER EVENTUALLY REIMBURSED THE COST OF PARTS @ $849.07. ON THIS REPAIR I AM OUT OF POCKET $944.40 LABOR COSTS TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS AS INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY! I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU (CASE #9919310) AND THE CASE IS STILL ONGOING. NO VEHICLE OPERATED UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS SHOULD HAVE TO HAVE MAJOR COMPONENTS, WHICH AFFECT VEHICLE CONTROL AND SAFETY, FAIL AND NEED REPLACEMENT AT LESS THAN 34,000 HIGHWAY DRIVEN MILES! I DO NOT READ ANYWHERE ON MY SERVICE RECEIPTS STATING THE PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED CARRY ANY WARRANTY. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT GENUINE JEEP PARTS ARE OF THE SAME QUALITY AS ORIGINALLY USED BY JEEP TO MANUFACTURE MY VEHICLE, AND WILL FAIL AGAIN WITHIN THE NEXT 30,000 TO 35,000 MILES, IF NOT SOONER! *TR

MADE A LEFT HAND TURN FROM A STOP SIGN AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON AND HAS NOT GONE OFF SINCE. JEEP HAS INFORMED ME I AM AT RISK BECAUSE THE AIR BAG WILL NOT FUNCTION IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED ONLY RIGHT HAND DRIVE WRANGLERS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS AND THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED FOR TEN YEARS. THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME HOW OR WHY THIS ISSUE DOES NOT WARRANT A RECALL. *TR

I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT A YEAR AGO I STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. I WAS TOLD IT IS CALLED THE CLOCK SPRING. WITH A BAD CLOCK SPRING, MY HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK, AND ALSO MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE KNOWING MY AIR BAGS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ALSO, WITH A BAD CLOCK SPRING THERE ARE CHANCES OF MY AIR BAG ACTIVATING RANDOMLY FOR NO REASON SO THAT REALLY WORRIES ME. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN WRECKED INTO SEVERAL TIMES AND I AM NOT ABLE TO HONK MY HORN. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, I WAS BASICALLY TOLD THAT IT HAS BEEN A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN 2008-2012 JK JEEP WRANGLERS BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT. I FIGURED THERE WOULD BE A RECALL FOR IT SINCE IT IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT ONLY THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEP WRANGLERS HAD A CLOCK SPRING RECALL. I BELIEVE THE RECALL NUMBER FOR THOSE ARE M31 AND L37. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE LEFT HAND DRIVE 2009 JK JEEP WRANGLERS ARE EXCLUDED FROM THIS RECALL. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS AND I FEEL UNSAFE KNOWING MY AIR BAGS MAY NOT WORK AND ALSO KNOWING I COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF MY AIR BAGS GO OFF RANDOMLY. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I KNOW MORE JEEPS LIKE MINE THAT ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF THIS ISSUE COULD BE LOOKED INTO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

THIS HAS RESULTED IN FUEL SPILLING ON PERSON DOING THE REFUELING, FUEL ON VEHICLE AND GROUND, ENOUGH WERE THE ATTENDANT MUST CLEAN UP EXCESS FUEL ON THE GROUND. THIS IS NEAR THE EXHAUST, EXTREME FIRE DANGER,AND PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT 2007-2008 JEEPS HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. CHRYSLER HAS HAD THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS. MY GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS THE CHECK VALVE IS IN THE TANK AT A COST OF $600.00 + LABOR & TAX.

ON MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES EVERY FEW MINUTES WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS. I HAVE MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT HAS A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2008, 2009 AND LATER JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS. 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. I HAVE CALLED JEEP/CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. I EVEN POINTED OUT TO THEM THAT 2007 (LHD) JEEP WRANGLERS HAD THEIR WARRANTIES EXTENDED TO 150,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND ALL 2008-2012 (RHD) HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE11019. RECALL 11V528). TO SUPPORT THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE, WHEN I CALLED A JEEP DEALERSHIP'S PARTS DEPARTMENT THEY TOLD ME THE CLOCKSPRING FOR MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY 8 PART NUMBERS. THAT IS 8 TIMES THEY HAVE WORKED ON FIXING THIS PART, BUT THEY REFUSE TO WARRANTY ON MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. *TR
