DURING A "DEATH WOBBLE" EVENT, MY PASSENGER SIDE BLINKERS AND BRAKE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. WE ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE THE BULBS, FUSES, AND CHECKED THE WIRING UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN TO NO AVAIL. HOW MUCH MORE IS THIS VEHICLE COST ME?

WHEN GASSING UP AND THE TANK IS FULL, FUEL FREQUENTLY SQUIRTS OUT AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE ONTO THE GROUND. SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS SPLASHED ON MY CLOTHES, SHOES, AND SKIN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS STARTED IN ABOUT 2011 AND HAS CONTINUED OFF AND ON SINCE. IT IS MORE PREVALENT IN COLD WEATHER.
Steering, Suspension, Wheels, Dec 12, 2019
I HAVE A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X, PURCHASED NEW. A FEW YEARS AFTER PURCHASE I BEGAN EXPERIENCING 'DEATH WOBBLE.' A MECHANIC'S DIAGNOSTIC STATED MY TRACK BAR WAS BENT AND MY BUSHINGS WERE WORN AND NEEDED REPLACING AS A RESULT OF ALL THE VIOLENT SIDE TO SIDE SHAKING. THIS WAS REPAIRED AT GREAT EXPENSE OUT OF POCKET. THIS REPAIR SEEMED EFFECTIVE FOR SOME TIME BEFORE THE SPEED WOBBLE STARTED UP AGAIN THIS PAST YEAR. DURING ONE EPISODE, THE HARSH SHAKING CAUSED MY LEFT SIDE BLINKERS AND BRAKE LIGHT TO FAIL. NO ONE SHOULD REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO OPERATE A VEHICLE WHEN IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SUDDENLY, UNEXPECTEDLY, UNCONTROLLABLY, VIOLENTLY, HARSHLY, AND DANGEROUSLY START SHAKING, ESPECIALLY WHILE IN OPERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I AVOID DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ANYMORE BECAUSE I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC BEFORE JARRING SHAKING WILL START. ANY DRIVING IS NOW INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS TO ME, MY PASSENGERS, AND OTHER NEARBY DRIVERS. THE UNCONTROLLABLY VIOLENT SHAKING IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, FRIGHTENING, AND FORCES ME TO ABRUPTLY PULL OVER, GREATLY INCREASING MY CHANCES OF BEING SEVERELY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT IS NOT RIGHT FOR JEEP OWNERS TO SUFFER THIS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR JEEP. THEY SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR AND REIMBURSE JEEP OWNERS ANY AND ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH REPAIRS, ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION, INJURIES, DEATHS, DISTRESS, OR ANY OTHER CONDITIONS OR COMPLICATIONS ARISING FROM, RELATED TO, OR OTHERWISE RESULTING FROM 'DEATH WOBBLE.' CAUSES FOR THIS HAZARD VARY, SO DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS CAN BE EXTREMELY LENGTHY AND COSTLY, NOT TO MENTION REPAIRS NEEDED FOR OTHER AREAS OF THE VEHICLE WORN AND DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF SUCH AGGRESSIVELY UNSAFE SHAKING. THIS IS NOT STANDARD WEAR AND TEAR, BUT A SERIOUS, DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED BY NHTSA, THE CENTER FOR AUTO SAFETY, LAWYERS, AND COURTS.

HAD AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG DASHBOARD LIGHT ACTIVATING. THIS WOULD OCCUR AT SPEEDS OF ZERO UP TO HIGHWAY AND WOULD COME AND GO WITHOUT WARNING. THE OBD-II CODE WAS B1B8F, DRIVER SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT OPEN. AFTER REMOVING THE DRIVER SEAT TO ACCESS THE WIRING HARNESS DISCOVERED THAT ONE WIRE WAS BROKEN AT THE SENSOR, PARTIALLY HELD TOGETHER BY A "THREAD" OF THE WIRE INSULATION WITH BARE METAL EXPOSED. THE WIRING HARNESS HAD BEEN INSTALLED UNDER THE SEAT WITH THE WIRE PULLED TIGHT TO THE UNDER SEAT "SPRING" WIRE SUPPORT AND HELD IN PLACE WITH A ZIP TIE. I CONSIDER IT LIKELY THAT THE UP-AND-DOWN MOTION OF THE SEAT OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS CAUSED THE HARNESS WIRE TO BREAK. THE FIRST PICTURE SHOWS THE CONNECTOR TO WHICH THE BROKEN WIRE WAS ATTACHED. UNFORTUNATELY THE BROKE WIRE IS IN THE BACK, THE ONE WITH THE PURPLE STRIPE. THE SECOND PICTURE SHOWS THE BROKEN WIRE AFTER THE WIRE PLUG WAS PULLED OUT OF THE CONNECTOR,
