2009 Jeep Wrangler complaints

TRAVELLING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 50-60MPH, HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE A LITTLE THEN VIOLENTLY AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE JEEP. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE SHAKING WOULD STOP. I WAS SCARED TOO DEATH. I HAD THE JEEP CHECKED OVER AND NOTHING WAS BROKEN OR WORN. NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AS WELL AS THE INTERNET FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN WILL THIS BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED?

CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD DRIVE SIDE, BROKEN BOLT ON PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD

WHILE WORKING MY MAIL ROUTE, ONLY ABOUT 20 MILES IN, MY RIGHT HAND DRIVE WRANGLER STARTED TO SMOKE. I ASSUMED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE NEVER TURNED OFF WHEN IT BEGAN TO SMOKE IT WAS SOMETHING SMALL CAUSING THE ISSUE. I WAS DRIVING 15 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF MY VEHICLE AND OPENED THE HOOD. THERE WAS A FIRE ON THE PASSANGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE UNDER AND BEHIND MY BATTERY, ROLLING UNDER THE VEHICLE MOVING VERY QUICKLY. I IMMEDIATELY CLOSED THE HOOD, GOT MY BELONGING OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND WATCHED AS IT BLEW UP, AND I CALLED 911. MY VEHICLE IS TOTALED. I AM NOW LEARNING THAT THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON OCCURANCE WITH JEEP! WHY ARE THERE NO PUBLIC WARNINGS!! WHERE ARE THE RECALLS!!!!!!!! I AND OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR KILLED!!!!

WHILE DRIVING NORTH ON BERTRAND DRIVE NEAR WEST CONGRESS STREET IN LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA, AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES PER HOUR, THE FRONT WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN WOBBLING VIOLENTLY. I MAINTAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE SLOWLY DRIVING INTO A PARKING LOT. I PERFORMED A CURSORY INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE, BUT DID NOT OBSERVE ANYTHING WRONG. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, AND LEARNED THAT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAD RESULTED IN CHRYSLER ISSUING TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS, BUT NOT A RECALL. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND TO CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER INFORMED ME THAT BECAUSE A RECALL HAD NOT BEEN ISSUED, CHRYSLER WOULD NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT NO EXPENSE TO ME.

AIR BAG LIGHT BECAME CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED & THE WARNING DING MAKES A SOUND OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, DETERMINED CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN WAS DEFECTIVE. LOOKED FOR A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT FOUND THERE WAS ONLY ONE FOR RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEPS. I DID, HOWEVER, FIND AN OPEN INVESTIGATION & MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE ON LEFT HAND DRIVE JEEPS.

ME AND MY DAD WERE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND IT WAS 65 MILES AN HOUR ALL OF A SUDDEN THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND IT DID IT 3 TIMES WHILE WE'RE ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THE JEEP WAS DOIN THE DEATH WOBBLE AND BOTH OF US WERE SHAKEN UP. THE BRAKES WENT OUT AND HAD A HARD TIME STOPPING. IT'S RIDICULOUS AND I THINK THAT THESE PARTS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I'M GONNA CALL DETROIT TOMORROW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STABILIZING BAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,300. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 11/19/15*LJ

AIRBAG FAILURE ILLUMINATION, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY INDICATE THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS THE ISSUE AND MAY CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY WITH OUT A CRASH. I CONTACTED JEEP THEY INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, THEY DID SAY THEY WOULD CHIP IN AND ONLY CHARGE ME $600.00.BUT THAT OFFER WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 30 DAYS AFTER I REPORTED THE ISSUE. THIS LEFT ME WITH NO OTHER RECOURSE OTHER THEN PAYING THE $600.00 TO PULL THE FUSE TO THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I NOW NOTE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON RIGHT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES LIKE MINE. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY HAVE REFUSED TO COVER THIS ISSUE. SO KNOW I TURN TO YOU.

STARTED MY JEEP AND THE SEAT BELTS LIGHT RAYS ON. IT COMES AND GOES WHILE DRIVING.DEALER SAID SOUNDS LIKE THE CLOCK SPRING. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON RHD JEEPS BUT WHAT ABOUT TH LHD ONES.

CLOCK SPRING FAILED TO TO DATE THE CLOCK SPRING HAS BEEN REPLACED 3X AND NOW NEEDS ANOTHER ONE THEY ONLY HAVE A 1 YEAR WARRANTY. AIR BAG LIGHT ON HORN DISABLED NO CRUISE CONTROL NO TRACTION CONTROL OR ANTILOCK BRAKES WHAT CLOCK SPRING FAILS.

LINKAGE BROKEN THAT ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES TRANSFER CASE. BUSHING AND CABLE HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE CONTROL PANEL ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THE DURATION OF ILLUMINATION FLUCTUATES FROM SECONDS TO 20 MINUTES. THE FAULTY COMPONENT IS THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY. DUE TO YOUR INVESTIGATION PE 15-025, I'M IN DISCUSSION WITH CHRYSLER/FIAT TO REPAIR THE COMPONENT OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY AS THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY CONCERN WHICH THEY HAD FAIR WARNING TO CORRECT.

THE CLOCK SPRING CEASED TO WORK TURNING OFF THE AIRBAG, THERE WAS A SHUDDER AND THE TCS (TRACTION CONTROLLED SYSTEM) BEGAN BRAKING ON ITS OWN. THEN WHEN THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED THE SYSTEM WENT SHUDDERY AND QUIT WORKING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2007 THRU 2013 JEEP WRANGLERS AND THERE IS A RECALL ON THE PART, EXCEPT THAT CRYSLER HAS DETERMINED THAT IT ONLY AFFECTS A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF JEEPS. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. A SEARCH ON GOOGLE WILL SHOW HUNDREDS OF CASES WHERE THE CLOCK SPRING BREAKS, CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO BECOME TURNED OFF AND THE END AND TCS SYSTEMS TO GO HAYWIRE, MAKING THE VEHICLE UNCONTROLLABLE AND UNDRIVEABLE. CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO RECALL THE PART IN WRANGLERS JEEP LIBERTY AND TWO OTHER BRANDS. THE HAZZARD IS COMPOUNDED IMMENSELY IF YOU HAPPEN TO GET (DEATH WOBBLE) YET ANOTHER UNFIXED ISSUE. THIS WILL LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND DEATH, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

I HAVE AN ERROR LIGHT FOR THE AIRBAGS THAT GO ON AND OFF BY ITSELF.

ON THE 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2009 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 2009 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.

AIRBAG LIGHT KEPT GOING ON. I AM UPSET BECAUSE THERE IS A LARGE RECALL ON THE MOPAR AIRBAG MODULE LOCATED IN THE STERRING WHEEL. I HAD TO PAY 680.00 DOLLARS, WHERE THERE IS OVER 1MILLON VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SPECIFIC PART. SOMETHING IS JUST NOT RIGHT HERE. PLEASE HELP THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE AND RECOMMENDED THAT THE CONTACT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE SQUIB CONNECTOR, WHICH WAS OPEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WITHIN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V118000 (AIR BAGS AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000. MA 10/15/2015 UPDATED 11/15/2017*CN

WE WHERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP WE SMELT THE CLUTCH AND THERE WAS OIL ON THE ENGINE AND GROUND . WE SAW A CONNECTING ROD CAP HANGING OUT THE SIDE OF THE BLOCK.A MECHANIC REMOVED THE OIL PAN AND FOUND 2 CONNECTING ROD BOLTS BROKEN LAYING IN THE OIL PAN. IT WAS COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO THE CONNECTING ROD BOLTS. HAVE GOTTEN COMPLETE MOTOR FROM JEEP REMANUFACTURE

ON A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS. THE VEHICLE ALSO NO LONGER HAS FUNCTIONING SPEED CONTROL. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2007-2012 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. THE FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE A SAFELY CONCERN DUE TO A POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT.

BOUGHT A USED 2009 JEEP DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A DEATH WOBBLE. I WAS GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 60 MPH HIT A BUMP AND THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. ALMOST GOT HIT TRYING TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE AND STOP. IT DOES IT EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECASUE WE BOUGHT IT USED.

BOUGHT A USED 2009 JEEP, WHEN TAKING OFF IT JUMPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR.

VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AROUND 55 OR WHEN I HIT A BUMB , TOOK THE JEEP TWO THE GARAGE AND EXPLAIN WHAT WAS GOING ON AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIRES SO BOUGHT NEW TIRES AND WASN'T THE PROBLEM , I LOOKED UP THE DEATH WOBBLE AND SEEN MANY PEOPLE WITH JEEPS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND JEEP CHRYSLER WON'T DO A RECALL AND THEY SHOULD BECAUSE THIS CAN VERY MUCH CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN YOU HAVE NO CONTROL , THIS IS LEFT UP TO THE OWNERS WHOM THOUGHT THEY BOUGHT A GOOD PRODUCT TO FIGURE OUT AND PAY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT JEEP CHRYSLER SHOULD OF FIXED IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT PROFIT AND NOT SAFETY !!!

EVERY FEW MINUTES THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WITH A CHIME THEN GOES AWAY AFTER A MILE OR SO COMES BACK ON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMPS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO SPECIFY WHY THE FAILURE OCCURRED, BUT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 171,907. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE FRONT AXEL IS WEEK AND BENT DURING OFF ROAD USE. JEEPS ARE DESIGNED AND SOLD FOR OFF ROAD USE. WHEN I DROVE DOWN A ROAD WITH SOME RUTS AND DIPS THE FRONT AXEL BENT CAUSING THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT TO BE PERMANENTLY OFF. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION OIL TEMPERATURE GOT HOT AND BOILED OVER. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO JEEPS POOR TRANSMISSION COOLER DESIGN. IT IS ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE RADIATOR AND DOES NOT RECEIVE DIRECT AIR FLOW TO KEEP COOL. *TR

BROUGHT MY JEEP TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP TO HAVE CRANK CASE AND TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGED. THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT WAS IN DIRE STRAIGHT. THERE ARE 16 BOLTS; 8 AT EACH END THAT KEEP THE DRIVE SHAFT IN PLACE. 1 WAS COMPLETELY MISSING, 12 WERE BROKEN (IN MULTIPLE PLACES ON MULTIPLE BOLTS) AND 3 BOLTS WERE ALL THAT WAS KEEPING THE DRIVE SHAFT IN PLACE AND THEY WERE ALL ATTACHED TO THE REAR OF THE SHAFT. THE SHOP INSISTED THAT I SEE IT FIRST HAND AND THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE. I WAS COMPLETELY HORRIFIED, THERE IS NO TELLING HOW LONG IT HAD BEEN THAT WAY. I AM NOT HARD ON MY VEHICLE, I DON'T HOT ROD, OFF ROAD OR GO MUDDING. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS OF A PROBLEM AND THE JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIDN'T DISCOVER ANYTHING DURING THEIR "UMPTEEN" VEHICLE POINT INSPECTION. THE ONLY THING I CAN FIGURE IS THAT THE FACTORY TORQUED THE BOLTS TOO HARD OR USED DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT OR BOTH. THE COMPLACENCY IN QUALITY CONTROL IS DISTURBING; MY LIFE MATTERS AND THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF THAT PART DECIDED TO LET GO. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP GAS TAKE, IT DOES NOT STOP AUTOMATICALLY WHEN FULL LIKE IT USED TO. GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF FILLER TUBE DOWN THE SIDE OF THE 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. ISSUE DID NOT START UNTIL VEHICLE HAD 65K MILES ON IT. *TR

WHILE OPERATING MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER FIRST MY CRUISE CONTROL FAILED AND NOW WILL NOT FUNCTION, THEN MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. NOW THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF WITH A CHIME. LOOKED IT UP ONLINE ONLY TO FIND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE, IT SEEMS VERY FREQUENT AND TO HAVE RECALLED SEVERAL OTHER KEEPS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, CHRYSLER NEEDS TO PROPERLY ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND RECALL ALL THE KEEPS WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

VIOLENT SHAKE THAT MADE ME FEEL LIKE THE JEEP WAS GOING TO FALL APART...EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE...THIS HAPPENED ALL OF SUDDEN...I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN...CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO A RECALL SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LESS THAN A YEAR AGO....IT DOES IT EVEN AT 55-60 MILES PER HOUR... I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS TO BE FIXED...JOINTS, BARS, SHOCKS, AND TIRES HAVE BEEN CHANGED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. *TR

GAS TANK OVER FLOWS EVERYTIME I FILL GAS TANK, GOES ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR, ALL OVER THE GROUND AND GETS ON ME . IT'S DANGEROUS, WASTEFUL AND IS DAMAGING THE FINISH ON THE OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE. MFG SAYS IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALLS. NOTE: HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHICH GAS STATION , WHICH SETTING ON THE PUMP HANDLE OR HOW FAR THE GAS NOZZLE IS INSERTED INTO FILLER TUBE. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS OTHER YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR CONDITION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND A CHIME SOUNDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING ON THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE JEEP WRANGLER CLOCK SPRING IN 2007+ MODELS. CURRENTLY A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR 2007 AND 2008 LEFT HAND DRIVE MODELS, AND 2007-2012 RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS. A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE FOR ALL MODEL YEARS AND CONFIGURATIONS AS THIS ISSUE CAN LEAD TO THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE CURRENT RECALL IS AS FOLLOWS: CHRYSLER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2012 RIGHT HAND DRIVE (RHD) JEEP WRANGLER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM FEBRUARY 1, 2007, THROUGH OCTOBER 10, 2011. SOME VEHICLES MAY BE EQUIPPED WITH DRIVER'S AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLIES THAT COULD EXPERIENCE A COMPROMISED AIRBAG CIRCUIT RESULTING IN AN AIRBAG LAMP ILLUMINATION, WHICH INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY. CONSEQUENCE: A BROKEN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT IN THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING WIRING ASSEMBLY CAN LEAD TO NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROPERLY PROTECT THE DRIVER IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURIES. REMEDY: CHRYSLER WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REMEDY THE VEHICLES AS NECESSARY FREE OF CHARGE. CHRYSLER WILL MAIL TO OWNERS AN INTERIM NOTIFICATION DURING MARCH 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403. NOTES: CHRYSLER'S RECALL NUMBER IS L37. OWNERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236. *TR

AS THE JEEP WAS BROUGHT UP TO SPEED IT BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND OUT OF CONTROL AS THE SPEED APPROACHED 50 MPH. THE SHAKING CONTINUED AS I BRAKED TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE WITH THIS "DEATH WOBBLE". THE PROBLEM IS REPEATABLE AND HAPPENS AT THE SAME SPEED OCCASIONALLY WHEN BUMPS ARE HIT. *TR

AIRBAG WARNING CHIME AND LIGHT COME ON WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. BOTH RESET WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED. CAUSE OF FAILURE IS BAD AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING. RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR RIGHT HAND DRIVE WRANGLERS BUT DOES NOT COVER LEFT HAND DRIVE WRANGLES. I AM A AVID OFF ROAD ENTHUSIAST AND BELIEVE THE EXPOSURE TO DIRT/DUST IS THE ROOT CAUSE. THIS WAS THE FINDING WITH RHD JEEPS DUE THE NATURE OF POSTAL SERVICE USE. SINCE MY VEHICLE IS USED OFF ROAD WITH THE DOORS REMOVED I DO FEEL THE CONDITIONS ARE CLOSE TO WHAT A POSTAL JEEP MAY EXPERIENCE. THIS IS THE INTENDED USE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THE CLOCK SPRING SHOULD NOT FAIL. *TR

I OWN A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, I HAVE EXPERIENCED INCREASING ISSUES WITH MY WRANGLER IN THAT IT BEGINS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN I AM DRIVING ABOVE 50 MPH AND HIT EVEN SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THIS PAST SUMMER I HAD IT WORKED ON TWICE IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN STORAGE SINCE SEPTEMBER AND I DROVE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS PAST WEEKEND. TODAY (12/23/14), I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND IN LESS THAN 30 MILES, THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP (OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS DIFFICULT, AND SOMETIMES IMPOSSIBLE, ON THE FREEWAY). THE SITUATION BECOMES VERY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND THE DRIVERS AROUND ME. I HAVE MADE NO MODIFICATIONS TO MY WRANGLER. *TR

THREE TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 55, STARTED THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. HAD TO STOP IN TRAFFIC TO STOP WOBBLE. STILL LOOKING FOR ISSUE. TIRES WERE REBALANCED, STILL GETTING DEATH WOBBLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH THEN WENT OFF FOR ABOUT A MINUTE OR TWO,NOW IT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR SAME TIME (ON SOLID) CONSTANTLY WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION. *TR

I WAS ON GRATIGNY PKWY, IN MIAMI FLORIDA GOING ABOUT 58 MILES PER HOUR AND WHEN I WAS CROSSING THE OVER PASS TOWARDS I-75 NORTH THE FRONT TIRES BEGAN TO BOUNCE VIGOROUSLY LIKE IF THE FRONT END WAS GOING TO FALL APART. I SLOWED DOWN AND GOT TO THE SIDE BUT IT DID NOT STOP SHAKING TILL I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE, BUT THE WARRANTY IS OVER OF COURSE. *TR

FUEL FLASHES FROM FILLER NECK AT EVERY FUEL UP. I'VE COVERED BY IT A FEW TIMES, AND HAD TO CLEAN UP FUEL AT 1 STATION. *TR

WHEN FUELING MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED (SAHARA), GAS SPEWS BACK OUT OF THE TANK FOLLOWING THE AUTO SHUT OFF OF THE GAS PUMP. THIS IS MY SECOND FILL-UP SINCE PURCHASING THE JEEP NEW AND IT HAS HAPPENED BOTH TIME. IT OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SO IT ISN'T A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP OR NOZZLE. THE JEEP IS NOT PROPERLY VENTILATING THE GAS AND DETECTING THE LEVEL SO AS TO PREVENT THE GAS BLOW BACK. *JS

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, GAS BACK SPLASHES AND GOES EVERYWHERE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL FUEL TANK. YOU HAVE TO STAND BACK OR YOU WILL GET IT ON YOU. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON, MAKE A TURN IT GOES OUT THEN COMES BACK ON AND CHIMES IN LESS THAN 60 SECONDS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AS THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE, THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR, THE TIMING COVER ASSEMBLY UNIT AND THE OIL PRESSURE VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH OVER A ROAD BUMP, THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL SHOOK ABNORMALLY. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING STABILIZER SHOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

DEATH WOBBLE, THE FRONT WHEELS WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY AT AROUND 55 MPH OR LOWER SPEEDS WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR ANYTHING ON THE ROAD THAT MAKES THE TIRES WOBBLE. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST 4 TIMES A WEEK. *TR

WHEN PULLING OUT INTO THE ROAD AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF 1ST GEAR. IT WAS DANGEROUS AS I LOST MY ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHEN I NEEDED IT THE MOST (CROSSING A BUSY ROAD). IT HAS BEEN SLIPPING OR POPPING OUT OF 1ST GEAR W INCREASING FREQUENCY. I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AND THEY FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN POSTED BY THE MANUFACTURE OF ESSENTIALLY A KNOWN ISSUE THAT OTHER PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THE JEEP HAS 28K MILES ON IT AND IS IN GREAT CONDITION OTHERWISE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND NOT CAUSES BY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY AND I FEEL IT SHOULD BE COVERED AS THIS PROBLEM IS BOTH A SAFETY ISSUE AND KNOWN DEFECT. *TR

GAS SPRAYS OUT OF FILLER NECK DURING FUELING OF VEHICLE. DURING FILL UPS GAS WILL SPRAY OUT OF FILLER NECK BEFORE THE GAS NOZZLE CAN SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THIS RESULTS IN HAVING GAS SPRAYED ON MYSELF, MY JEEP AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT A SAFE SITUATION. *TR

GAS OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. *TR
