VEHICLE WILL JUMP OUT OF 1ST GEAR AFTER 10 FEET INTO AN INTERSECTION WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP, LEAVING YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING SIDE TRAFFIC WHILE IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF THE DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS IS ON THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION MODELS.
FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FILL OPENING WHEN FILLING THE TANK EVERYTIME. IF YOU ARE NEAR THE FUEL CAP YOU WILL GET SPRAYED WITH FUEL.
I JUST PURCHASED MY JEEP ABOUT A MONTH AGO. I HAD A 30 DAY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY FROM THE DEALER, BUT IT DID NOT INCLUDE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE TIPM WAS DEFECTIVE, AND MY JEEP WILL NOT START NOW AS A RESULT. I CONTACTED A PARTS DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND NO RELEASE DATE AVAILABLE.
DRIVING JEEP WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON HORN STARTED BLOWING WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID STARTED SPRAYING THEN JEEP EXPLODED ON FIRE. JUST GOT STOPPED AND OUT BEFORE JEEP TOTALLY ENGULFED IN FIRE NOTHING LEFT BUT 2 REAR WHEELS. DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH ON SMOOTH STRAIGHT HIGHWAY.

07/01/2016 FCA US LLC MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL ISSUED NHTSA #16V-352 #S43 PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR STATUS: REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE
WHEN FILLING UP MY JEEP WRANGLER THE FILLER NECK SPITS GASOLINE BACK ONTO THE PAINT OF MY JEEP.
RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE (R13/NHTSA 15V-222) FOR CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH. I REMOVED THE PART (1 CLIP AND ONE CONNECTOR) AND TRIED TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART AT LOCAL DEALER. THEY ATTEMPTED TO CHARGE FOR THE PART AND I ASKED FOR NO CHARGE DUE TO RECALL. THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME THE PART BECAUSE I "MIGHT NOT INSTALL IT CORRECTLY". THEY WANTED ME TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR (PUT THE PART BACK IN AND DRIVE TO THE DEALER, WHICH GAVE THEM ENOUGH FAITH THAT I COULD PLUG IT IN?). I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT AT DEALER TO HAVE A PART PLUGGED IN, SO CONTACTED FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE. DEBATE ENSUED REGARDING WHAT FCA WILL AND WILL NOT PAY FOR. I PROPOSED THAT I WILL BUY THE PART AND SUBMIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT I MIGHT NOT BE REIMBURSED. AFTER REVIEW OF TITLE 49, I CALLED FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE BACK AND CONCEDED SOME ASPECT OF MY ORIGINAL ARGUMENT (BASED ON TITLE 49, 30120 (A)(A)(I)) AND OFFERED TO LET THE DEALER COME OVER AND CLIP IN THE PART. OF COURSE, THEY REFUSED AND RECALL ASSISTANCE RECOMMENDED TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, IN ESSENCE, INSTALLING THE SUSPECT PART THEY ARE CONCERNED THAT I MIGHT NOT INSTALL CORRECTLY (THE BASIS FOR REFUSAL TO PROVIDE THE PART), THEN DRIVE TO DEALER). I ASKED IF I THERE WAS SO MUCH CONCERN ABOUT PROPER INSTALLATION, WHY WOULD FCA ENDORSE THE INSTALLATION OF THE OLD PART. FCA THEN RECOMMENDED THAT I PAY TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE REPAIR. FIRST OF ALL, SHOULD I BE REIMBURSED FOR THE PART, IF I PURCHASED AND INSTALLED? FCA POSITION IS M

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE FRONT SUSPENSION SHOOK VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT STABILIZER, FRONT AND REAR SHOCKS, AND TWO TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,500.
AT ABOUT 32000 MY JEEP WRANGLER STARTING EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE". WHEELS WERE BALANCED AND THIS SEEMED TO CORRECT FOR A WHILE. AT ABOUT 35000 MILES THE PROBLEM RETURNED. THE WOBBLE SEEMS TO START AT ABOUT 55 MPH.

WHILE GOING APPX. 55-70MPH, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, GO OVER A BUMP IN ROAD (DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A BIG BUMP) VEH. STARTS SHAKING, STEERING WHEEL HAS BEEN JERKED OUT OF MY HANDS. HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND DOES NOT MATTER WHERE. VEH. PULLS EXTREMELY HARD NOT WANTING TO GO FORWARD. MANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS HAVE ALSO BEEN DOCUMENTED ON THIS. MAYBE IF I MARKED A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT OR DEATH CAUSED BY THIS, JEEP WOULD DO SOMETHING. I HAVE COMPLETED A FIX THAT HAS BEEN GOOD NOW FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. REPLACED BALL JOINTS, ADDED TO STEERING SHOCKS TO KEEP STEERING FORWARD, REPLACE BOTH TIE RODS, FRONT END ALIGNMENT, NEW SHOCKS (ALL 4). HAVE PAID OUT MY PART ON KEEPING MY JEEP SERVICED. BUT, JEEP STILL HAS NOT ANSWERED THIS COMPLAINT NOW FOR YEARS. EXPAND QUESTION: WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2007. JEEP DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.
WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE GAS PUMP HANDLE CONSTANTLY SHUTS OFF! IT TAKES AN EXTREMELY LONG TIME TO PUT FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE.
TAKATA RECALL. ENOUGH, IT HAS BEEN IN EXCESS OF ALMOST A YEAR THAT THE RECALL WAS FIRST ISSUED. TAKATA AT THIS STAGE SHOULD REPLACE MY VEHICLE SINCE THE THREAT OF USING THE VEHICLE WITH THE RECALL IS DANGEROUS TO ANY PASSENGER. I AM TIRED OF HAVING TO USE MY OTHER VEHICLES TO AS TO AVOID PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT. EITHER REPLACE THE VEHICLE AT NO CHARGE OR ISSUE A DIRECTIVE TO HAVE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM REMOVED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY A LOCAL DEALER. *TR
TAKATA RECALL WAS ISSUED MAY 26TH 2016 AND I TALKED TO JEEP TODAY AND THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS RECALL.
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE HORN STARTED BLOWING AND WOULD NOT STOP, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED WIPING AT HIGH SPEED, WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID WAS SQUIRTING OUT, AND WOULD NOT STOP. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ISSUES KEPT HAPPENING. THE GAUGES AND SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AT THIS TIME. LUCKILY I WAS PULLING IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

TAKATA RECALL: IN JULY 2016 I RECEIVED NOTICE FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAG SAFETY RECALL. AT THAT TIME NO REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE & I WAS TOLD THAT AVAILABILITY WAS UNKNOWN AT THAT TIME. IN EARLY DECEMBER I WAS NOTIFIED THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE BUT NOW FOR ONLY ONE OF THE AIRBAGS AND THAT WAS REPAIRED. HOWEVER, AS TO THE 2ND AIRBAG, AGAIN THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THERE IS NO KNOWN DATE WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. TO BE TOLD THAT THERE IS A DEFECT AND NOW WAITING OVER 5 MONTHS FOR COMPLETE REPAIR IS NOT RIGHT AND EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING. WHY MAY JEEP TAKE SO LONG TO REPAIR THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM?
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO JUMP INTO THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
TAKATA RECALL WE RECEIVED 2 RECALL NOTICES FOR OUR SON'S 2007 JEEP WRANGLER: S33/NHTSA 16V-290 AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING S43/NHTSA 16V-352 PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR FOR MORE THAN SIX MONTHS WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS RECALL ISSUE, BUT OUR DEALERSHIP, SOUTHPOINT DODGE/JEEP/RAM IN AUSTIN TEXAS STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE RECALL REPLACEMENT PARTS AND WE REMAIN ON THE WAITING LIST. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE OUR SON IS A COLLEGE STUDENT AND TRAVELS BETWEEN TEXAS AND LOUISIANA FREQUENTLY. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL US WHAT THE TIMELINE IS FOR GETTING THESE ITEMS TAKEN CARE OF?
BOTH FRONT SEAT-BELTS LOCKED UP WITH THE JEEP PARKED. THEY WILL NOT UNLOCK TO ALLOW YOU TO BUCKLE SO THAT YOU CAN DRIVE SAFELY. WE TOOK TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP; BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE US OVER 500 A SEAT TO FIX- SAID IT RAN OUT OF WARRANTY AT 60,000 MILES. THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I FEEL THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED BY YOU GUYS TO COVER SEAT-BELTS LONGER THAN THAT. I HAVE A INVOICE SHOWING THAT WE TOOK THE JEEP IN AND THAT THE SEAT-BELT RETRACTORS ARE STUCK, BUT NO WAY TO UPLOAD FROM HOME.

THIS VEHICLE FREQUENTLY EXPERIENCES FUEL "SPIT-BACK" ON FILLING. IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 10/06, FIVE MONTHS BEFORE THE DATE IN JEEP'S LIFETIME FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT EXTENDED GUARANTY FOR SPIT-BACK. ALSO, THE TANK BEGAN LEAKING AFTER EVERY FILL UP. IT LEAKED ON THE GROUND AND/OR WITH GAS FUMES PRESENT UNTIL THE TANK LEVEL GOT BELOW 1/2 TANK THE LEAK SOURCE WAS WHERE THE FUEL PUMP IS INSERTED INTO THE TOP OF TANK. THE IRON CLAMPS AND LOCK RING FOR THE FUEL PUMP ARE LOCATED IN A DEPRESSED "BOWL" AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. WATER ACCUMULATES AND REMAINS IN THE BOWL CAUSING THE LOCK RING AND CLAMPS TO RUST. THE RUST EXPANDS AND CRACKS THE PLASTIC THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS MADE OF. THE REPAIR REQUIRES REPLACING THE FUEL TANK, LOCK RING, AND FUEL PUMP. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND THESE CONDITIONS CAUSE SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY PROBLEMS. I INFORMED JEEP (CASE NUMBER 30126422) ON 9/15/16 AND THEY DECLINED TO DO ANYTHING. I HAVE SPENT $1,019.60 ON EMERGENCY AND PERMANENT REPAIRS. PHOTOS OF THE TANK AS IT WAS REMOVED FROM THE JEEP SHOWING "THE BOWL" AND RUST, RUSTED CLAMPS, AND CRACKED FUEL PUMP ARE ATTACHED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I CAN PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.

TAKATA RECALL TOOK MY CAR IN TO JEEP (SANTA MONICA) ON THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 1ST. DID NOT MENTION THE RECALL. TRIED TO TRADE CAR IN ON SUNDAY TO TOYOTA, WAS TOLD ABOUT THE RECALL. WENT BACK TO JEEP ON TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 6TH. THE CLOCKSPRING ISSUE WAS TAKEN CARE OF, HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL. RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR OVER TWO MONTHS AND HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. IT IS NOT ONLY AN INCONVENIENCE FOR SOMEONE WHO NEEDS TO TRADE THEIR CAR FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE, BUT IT IS A DANGER TO MYSELF EVERY TIME I STEP INTO MY CAR. I NOW CAN NOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE TAKE ANOTHER PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME, WHICH IS CAUSING A DISTURBANCE TO MY LIFE AND MY WORK. JEEP CONTINUES TO REFUSE TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG, REPLACE THE CAR, OR REFUND MY PURCHASE PRICE MINUS DEPRECIATION.

JEEP VIOLENTLY POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE L. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. FROM DOING RESEARCH ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE WHO OWN THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION JEEP MODEL. THIS CAN BE EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS WHEN GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS OR CHANGING LANES AS THE JEEP WILL POP OUT IF GEAR AND NO LONGER ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE DAY ONE OF ME PURCHASING IT.

STRONG SMELL OF GAS IN THE GARAGE AFTER SHUTTING JEEP OFF FOR PAST 3-4 YEARS. FUEL SPIT ISSUE RESOLVED WITH WARRANTY 12/2013. GAS SMELL AFTER SHUTTING JEEP OFF CONTINUED. 09/2014 DEALERSHIP PULLED CODE P0456, "VENT TUBE AT TANK BROKEN." PAID TO HAVE DEALERSHIP ORDER AND INSTALL A NEW TANK ONLY TO FIND THE "NEW TANK HAS CRACK AT ROLLOVER VALVE," HAD TO ORDER A SECOND REPLACEMENT FUEL TANK, INSTALLED WITH NO PROBLEMS NOTED. HEAVY SMELL OF RESIDUAL FUEL IN THE GARAGE CONTINUED TO PERSIST TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAVE TO LEAVE THE GARAGE OPEN TO VENT THE FUMES FOR FEAR OF IGNITION. COULD NOT VISUALLY IDENTIFY ANY FUEL LEAK. ALL THE WHILE HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COMING OFF AND ON POINTING TO EMISSIONS AND FUEL SYSTEM. ANOTHER TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP 07/2015, PULLED CODE P0406, STATED "COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AT THIS TIME." HEAVY GAS SMELL CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. 07/2016 TOOK JEEP TO MECHANIC, PULLED CODES P0456 AND P0486, FOUND THE FUEL TANK VENT TUBE WAS CRACKED AGAIN, NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK AND EGR VALVE. BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. TANK IS OUT OF WARRANTY, HAVE TO REPLACE THE 22 MONTH OLD FUEL TANK AGAIN. THE FUEL SYSTEM HAS HAD CONSISTENT PROBLEMS FROM INCEPTION. THE HEAVY GAS ODOR AND CRACKED FUEL TANKS POSE A SERIOUS LIFE SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A VEHICLE AND/OR A RESIDENCE CATCHES FIRE. THE CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE TO GAS VAPORS ALONE IS SERIOUS CONCERN DUE TO THE CARCINOGENIC NATURE OF FUEL AND ITS VAPORS. AFTER RESEARCHING
PUMPING GAS TO FILL THE TANK ALWAYS OVERFLOWS. THE SENSOR THAT TELLS THE PUMP TO SHUT OFF DOESN'T WORK CAUSING GAS TO OVERFLOW ALL OVER THE CAR, MYSELF AND THE GROUND. WHAT A WASTE OF PRICEY GAS.
WHILE DRIVING, IF THE VEHICLE HITS A SMALL BUMP, THE FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH UNTIL I AM ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND CAN BE FOUND ON THE INTERNET AS THE "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE". WE'VE SPENT $900 TO HAVE THIS FIXED AND HAVE BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT GARAGES TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THE MECHANICS CAN'T FIND ANYTHING MORE THAT IS WRONG AND CLAIM IT'S A DESIGN FLAW IN THE VEHICLE.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
