Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 21, 2014
I PURCHASED MY 2010 WRANGLER NEW. THE LAST THREE TIMES I HAVE FILLED MY FUEL TANK, GAS HAS SPEWED OUT OF THE TANK IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE NOZZLE CLICKED OFF. IT SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM A BUILD-UP OF PRESSURE INSIDE OF THE GAS TANK BECAUSE THE GAS COMES BACK OUT OF THE TANK FORCEFULLY EVEN IF THE NOZZLE IS STILL IN THE TANK. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME I HAD TO GO HOME TO CHANGE CLOTHES AND TO WASH THE GASOLINE OFF OF MY LEGS. I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I HAD DONE WRONG. I HAVE SINCE FILLED UP TWO MORE TIMES AND I HAVE USED DIFFERENT PUMPS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS WITH THE SAME RESULT. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY (01/21/14), AND THE STATION ATTENDANT RUSHED OUT TO CLEAN UP THE FUEL THAT WAS SPILLED BECAUSE THERE WAS SO MUCH ON THE GROUND AND AGAIN, I HAD GAS SPEWED ON ME. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IN SOME WAY BY CHRYSLER. *TR

HELLO, MY NAME IS [XXX] AND ON JANUARY 4TH, 2014 I PURCHASED A 2010 JEEP JK WRANGLER FROM A FAMILY FRIEND, UPON THE FIRST 3 TIMES FILLING UP (ALL SO FAR) THE GAS HAS SPEWED OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO THE GROUND BEFORE I COULD SHUT OFF THE PUMP HANDLE. I'VE PROBABLY WASTED AT LEAST 2 GALLONS ALREADY BY DOING THIS, WHICH ADDS UP QUICK. THIS SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS TO ME, ONE LITTLE SPARK COULD SEND THE VEHICLE UP IN FLAMES AND HARM ME, AND MANY OTHERS. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY TO COVER THIS SO THAT MYSELF, AND OTHERS, DON'T HAVE TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED, OR WORRY EVERY TIME WE GO TO THE PUMP. THANKS FOR TAKING TIME TO READ THIS, [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES CONSTANTLY WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS. I TOOK MY JEEP WRANGLER TO THE DEALER WHICH DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 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. *TR

Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 26, 2013
WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK TO FULL (WHEN THE NOZZLE SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF), THE GAS WILL OVERFLOW/SPIT OUT FUEL AND SPILL. I'VE TAKEN THIS INTO THE JEEP DEALER TO DETERMINE WHAT THE CAUSE IS. THE DEALER'S DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY SHUTOFF VALVE WITHIN THE TANK AND TO FIX THIS ISSUE, THE WHOLE TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY "USER ERROR". THIS ISSUE IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH JEEP WRANGLERS AS CITED FROM NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AS SPILLED FUEL POSES A FIRE HAZARD TO THE FUELING STATION, THE VEHICLE, AND THE DRIVER/PASSENGERS.

WHEN REFUELING, WHEN THE FUEL FILLER NOZZLE CLICKS OFF, THERE IS A GUSH OF FUEL THAT SPOUTS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK FOR A SECOND OR TWO. IT HAS NOW BECOME CONSISTENT, REGARDLESS OF WHEN OR WHERE THE VEHICLE IS REFUELED (AT 6000' OR 3000', ON 75 DEGREE DAYS OR 30). THIS PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR BEFORE THIS PAST SUMMER, AND WAS INTERMITTENT UNTIL ABOUT THIS OCTOBER. IT NOW OCCURS ANYTIME THE FILLER IS ALLOWED TO CLICK OFF. IT BEHAVES AS IF THE FUEL TANK IS NOT VENTING AS FUEL IS DELIVERED. WHEN THE DELIVERY IS CUT OFF, THE PRESSURE IN THE TANK, INCREASED THROUGH INTRODUCTION OF FUEL WITHOUT AN EQUIVALENT REDUCTION IN VOLUME OF AIR, EXPELS THE FUEL REMAINING IN THE FILLER NECK UNTIL EQUALIZED. THIS IS SPECULATION ON MY PART BUT PLAUSIBLY DESCRIBES THE OBSERVED BEHAVIOR. *TR

WHILE EXITING A 55 MPH SPEED ZONE ONTO A 65MPH INTERSTATE HIGHWAY I EXPERIENCED EXTREME SHAKING IN THE FRONT END. THE JEEP ACTUALLY HOPPED ON THE ROAD FORCING ME TO PULL OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES IN THE COURSE OF 1 MONTH. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AT MY DEALER. MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 1 WEEK IN WHICH THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THE SAME ISSUE BEGAN HAPPENING 3 DAYS AFTER I GOT IT BACK. I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER EXPLAINING THE ISSUE AND BEGAN RESEARCHING ON MY OWN. I CAME ACROSS MANY INSTANCES OF THE SAME THING- DEATH WOBBLE. IT HAPPENS WHEN MY JEEP HITS 60-70 MPH CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY STOP THE VEHICLE, USUALLY IN HIGH SPEED INTERSTATE TRAFFIC CAUSING DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORISTS. MY JEEP IS STOCK, SO THE EXCUSE ABOUT BEING LIFTED DOES NOT APPLY TO ME. IT SEEMS CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND DOES NOTHING TO RECALL THE VEHICLES.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MY JEEP STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT OF JEEP WILL INTERMITTENTLY START SHAKING VIOLENTLY, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY AND PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT'S VERY SCARY AND I AM AFRAID IT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT HAPPENS SO SUDDENLY AT A HIGH SPEED. I PURCHASED MY JEEP ABOUT A YEAR AGO FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER AND WITHIN A WEEK NOTICED IT HAD A "POPPING" NOISE WHEN BACKING UP AND THEN GOING FORWARD. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO THIS CHRYSLER DEALER 3 TIMES TO HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT. THE FIRST TIME, THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW BRAKES, SO I HAD NEW BRAKES INSTALLED, BUT MY JEEP CONTINUES TO MAKE THIS "POPPING" NOISE. THE LAST 2 TIMES I TOOK MY JEEP TO THIS CHRYSLER DEALER, THEY INSIST THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY JEEP AND THEY DO NOT HEAR THIS NOISE. NOW MY JEEP HAS HAD THESE EPISODES OF VIOLENT SHAKING AND I WONDER IF THE TWO PROBLEMS ARE CONNECTED. I HAVE SEEN REPORTS OF A "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE" AND FEEL THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT I HAVE HAD OCCUR WITH MY JEEP. IS THERE ANY KIND OF RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? *TR
