TAKATA RECALL: MARCH 2017 WE RECEIVED NOTICE FROM FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES DESCRIBING A RECALL FOR OUR VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR. ON 1 APRIL 2017 I CONTACTED SPARTANBURG CHRYSLER JEEP, I WAS TOLD PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THEY WERE AVAILABLE. AS OF 24 OCTOBER 2017 I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM SPARTANBURG CHRYSLER JEEP AND HAVE NOW RECEIVED NOTICE FROM TK HOLDINGS INC., THAT THEY ARE FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION AND I MAY LOOSE MY ABILITY TO FILE A CLAIM. I WOULD LIKE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED WITH A SAFE ONE AT NO EXPENSE TO ME.

SINCE I PURCHASED MY JEEP IT HAS HAD A FUEL OVERFLOW ISSUE WHERE FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE GAS TANK ONCE FILLED TO CAPACITY. I HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO NOT FILL TO CAPACITY TO AVOID THE ISSUE. I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE NOW BECAUSE I AM HAVING MY JEEP SERVICES FOR OTHER RECALL NOTICES AND WAS SURPRISED THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ALREADY IN PLACE FOR THIS HAZARD.

THE VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE EFFECTS BOTH HEADLIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS AND WILL STAY OUT FOR SECONDS AND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS REQUIRE SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE COMING BACK ON BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING. I HAD THE SWITCH ON THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED TO THE FUSE BOX. THE HEADLIGHTS CUTTING OUT IS A MAJOR CONCERN AND WHEN I CALLED JEEP FOR A PRICE THEY HAD IT IN STOCK WHICH WOULD INDICATE THIS IS A KNOWN AND NORMAL ISSUE.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, FUEL COMES GUSHING OUT FROM THE FILLER HOLE. THIS HAPPENS JUST AS THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF. IT SPILLS A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL ALL OVER THE CAR AND ME. I WOULD ESTIMATE 1/2 CUP TO 1 CUP OF GAS SPILLS DEPENDING ON HOW QUICKLY THE GAS PUMP IS RUNNING. FROM MY RESEARCH SO FAR THIS IS NOT RECALLED AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT WAS PRESENT AND COVERED FOR 2007-2008 MODELS. 2010 MODELS NEED TO BE LOOKED AT AND COVERED. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIALLY FATAL DEFECT.

AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET I CAM ACROSS THE ACRONYM OF THE ISSUE. WHAT HAPPENED IS EXACTLY DESCRIBED IN THIS ARTICLE AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." HTTP://ABC7NEWS.COM/ARCHIVE/8547340/ THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE I'M DRIVING AT AN AVERAGE SPEED OR HIGH SPEED. IF I HIT A DIP OR TURN AT A AVERAGE TO HIGH SPEED MY JEEP SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY. TODAY I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE 60 EASTBOUND IN THE HIGH SPEED LANE GOING THE SPEED LIMIT (CRUISE CONTROL). MY JEEP HIT A DIP AND SHOOK SO UNCONTROLLABLY I ALMOST HAD TO DO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY. I TRIED THE BEST I COULD TO MERGE TO THE SLOW SPEED LANE TO POSSIBLY EXIT THE FREEWAY. A FEW VEHICLES WERE BEHIND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT ALMOST CAUSED A SEVERE ACCIDENT. IT LITERALLY FEELS LIKE THE AXEL IS GOING TO SNAP IN HALF OR THE VEHICLE MAY EVEN FLIP IF THE SHAKING WERE TO CONTINUE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHAKING LIKE THIS THE ONLY WAY I'VE EXPERIENCED FOR IT TO STOP IS QUICKLY SLOWING DOWN ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP. IF I SLOW DOWN SLOWLY IT STILL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY SO MUCH SO THAT IT PUTS ME IN THE OTHER LANE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND CAN MOST DEFINITELY KILL SOMEONE. THIS HAPPENED TODAY AT LEAST 3 TIMES. I THEN FINALLY PUT MY VEHICLE IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AT 2H WHILE DRIVING FEARING IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, MY AXEL MAY BREAK; OR WORSE MY LIFE TAKEN. BEFORE THIS INCIDENT I'D SAY IT'S HAPPENED EVERY NOW AND THEN. APPROX. ONCE EVERY 3-6 MONTHS SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE. I ALSO HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED EVERY TIME I GET MY OIL CHANGED AT 3,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING

I HAVE A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA. MY WRANGLER AS A DEFECT ON THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO VIOLENTLY POP OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE (EVERY SINGLE TIME). LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE, I HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS VERY COMMON WITH THE 2010 MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ISSUED REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION- EVEN THOUGH IT CAN BE DANGEROUS. BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, I HAVE TO START MY JEEP IN SECOND GEAR CAUSING EXTRA WEAR AND TEAR ON MY CLUTCH. ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, IN ORDER TO FIX THE ISSUE, I WILL HAVE TO EITHER COMPLETELY REBUILD MY TRANSMISSION OR GET A NEW ONE (IN THE TSB THAT CHRYSLER PUT OUT REGARDING THE ISSUE, ONLY THE 1-2 SYNCHRONIZER ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE.)
