IT OCCURRED 3 TIMES ON HIGHWAY 99 IN CALIFORNIA AFTER IT HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. FINALLY, IT OCCURRED 4 TIMES ON AUGUST 25TH. THIS CAR IS UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON ANY FREEWAY. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF ROAD OR MISTREATED AND HAS ONLY 62,000 MILES, MOSTLY MILES ARE FREEWAY MILES. THE CAR WILL BE EVALUATED BY AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THEN BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP. AS STATED, THE INCIDENTS DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE SERIOUS AND CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO OUT OF CONTROL. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JULY 2010. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REPORTS ON THIS CAR THAT DESCRIBE THE DEATH WOBBLE.

THEY SAID TAKE TO DEALER LET THEM SCAN FOR TROUBLE CODES. I DID THIS THE DEALER SCANNED IT AND SAID IT DID SHOW A CODE. HOWEVER THE CODE WAS INCONCLUSIVE AND TO FURTHER DIAGNOSE WOULD HAVE TAKE STEERING WHEEL OFF AIRBAG OUT AND CLOCKSPRING OUT TO DIAGNOSE PROPERLY (ABOUT 2.5 HOURS TO BE EXACT WORTH OF LABOR I HAD TO PAY FOR.) I TOLD THEM NOT TO TAKE IT APART THAT I WOULD CALL JEEP FIRST AND PLEAD MY CASE. JEEP TOLD ME THAT'S WHAT HAD TO BE DONE FOR THEM TO DETERMINE IF THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. NOW FOR GOOD PART, THE SUSPECT FAILED PART IS THE CLOCKSPRING UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL THAT MAKES AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WHEEL AND THE DASH, ALSO THE AIRBAG. THE PART IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER. HMMM. I'VE OWNED MANY OTHER CARS WITH AIRBAGS AND NEVER HAVE HAD ONE FAIL PERIOD. THIS CAR IS 4000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY AND DOES NOT HAVE A FUNCTIONING SAFETY SYSTEM. KIND OF IMPORTANT IN A CAR WITH A SOFT TOP DON'T YOU THINK?

WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD GOING 45 MPH THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND NOW CONTINUES TO DO SO WHEN I HIT BUMPS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR
Air bags, Apr 9, 2013
WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, TELLING ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAGS. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THING CALLED A "CLOCK SPRING" IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IN A KNOWN PROBLEM BY JEEP AS THEY EXTENDED A WARRANTY ON CLOCK SPRINGS TO 2007 JEEP WRANGLERS (RIGHT HAND DRIVE). ON LINE I HAVE FOUND THAT CLOCK SPRINGS HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM TO LEFT HAND DRIVE ALSO. I BELIEVE THIS HAS CONTINUED ON INTO THE PRESENT JEEPS. I WOULD LIKE THIS SAFETY ISSUE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. I WOULD LIKE MY MONEY BACK FOR THIS REPAIR, BUT THIS IS PROBABLY NOT IN YOUR AREA. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF. AFTER READING ON THE WEB SEEMS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ON ALL MAKES OF JEEP WRANGLER JK MODELS. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 2, 2013
I PURCHASED A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED IN MAY 2010. IN JANUARY 2013, THE FUEL SYSTEM DOES NOT RESPOND TO A SHUT-OFF MECHANISM. GASOLINE OVERFLOWS THE TANK AND SPILLS DOWN THE SIDE ONTO THE PAVEMENT. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I USE THE LOWEST SETTING ON THE GAS PUMP OR IF I MANUALLY USE AS LITTLE PRESSURE AS POSSIBLE; IT OVERFILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME AND GAS POURS OUT OF THE FILL SPOUT RUNNING DOWN THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE ON MY HAND ON MY CLOTHES AND ON THE GROUND. THE JEEP HAS MORE THAN 30,000 MILES AND IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##
