2010 Jeep Wrangler complaints

I JUST BOUGHT MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SPORT A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO. JUST RECENTLY, PAST 6 FILL UPS, THE PUMP WILL CLICK SIGNIFYING FULL, THEN SPEW AND OVERFLOW ALL OVER SIDE, BUMPER AND GROUND. NO MATTER HOW I TRY TO FILL IT UP, EVEN KEEPING MY HAND ON PUMP, IT WILL OVERFLOW EVERY TIME. IT IS EVEN STARTING TO SHOW NOTICEABLE FADING ON THE BUMPER WHERE GAS SPILLS. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 5 MONTHS AGO MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER BEGAN OVERFLOWING AT EVERY FILL UP, SPILLING FUEL ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS HAD HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND DIFFERENT TEMPERATIONS, AND NO MATTER HOW SLOW I TRY TO PUMP THE FUEL IT STILL OVERFLOWS. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN ALL AT ONCE AND I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH IT BEFORE. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE FUEL SPILLS OUT AFTER SHUT OFF. APPROXIMATION A CUP TO 2 CUPS WILL BACK SPLASH OUT OF THE TOP AND SPILLS ALL OVER THE JEEP AND GROUND. DOES NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION THIS HAS JUST STARTED HAPPENING THE LAST TWO FILL UPS. *TR

WHEN FILLING MY JEEP'S GAS TANK THE PRESSURE INSIDE THE TANK BLOWS GAS BACK OUT THE FILL NECK. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL FILL UPS. *TR

THE LAST TIME TWO TIMES I FILLED MY GAS TANK, AT TWO DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, THERE WAS A BACKSPLASH OF GASOLINE AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY STOPPED. I DID NOT TRY TO TOP OFF. AS I PULLED THE NOZZLE OUT OF THE TANK, ABOUT A CUP OR TWO OF GAS SPLASHED OUT OVER THE FENDER, MY FINGERS, AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE FIRST TIME I ASSUMED IT WAS A FREAK INCIDENT FROM THE PUMP, BUT AS IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME TODAY AT A DIFFERENT GAS STATION, IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, FUEL SPILLS FROM THE TANK. THE FUEL SPURTS OUT, GETTING ON SKIN AND CLOTHING, AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ENOUGH TO PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT THE LAST TWO CONSECUTIVE FILL-UPS FOR THIS VEHICLE. IT OCCURRED AT TWO DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. AT NEITHER OCCURRENCE WAS THE TANK BEING "TOPPED OFF" WHEN THE FUEL SPILLAGE OCCURRED. THE FUEL SPURTING OUT ALLOWS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS EMISSIONS TO BE RELEASED. *TR

GOT INTO MY JEEP AND ALL OF A SUDDEN DING DING AIR BAG LIGHT I LOOKED FOR LOOSE WIRES BUT I HAVE THE INTERNET ITS ABOUT TIME CHRYSLER DOES SOMETHING. *TR

EVERY TIME I'VE FILLED UP THE GAS TANK, NO MATTER IF I DO IT AUTOMATIC SETTING OR MANUAL WITH THE LOWEST SETTING PRESSURE WHILE PUMPING. THE GAS OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME. I'VE TRIED SEVERAL GAS PUMPS, ADJUSTED THE SETTING OF THE PUMP INSIDE THE TANK, IT STILL OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY SAID THAT MY 2010 YEAR MODEL WAS NOT COVERED FOR THE RECALL WHEN I'VE HEARD FROM FELLOW OWNERS OF THE 2010 MODEL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY JUST OPT TO NOT FILL UP THE TANK WHILE PUMPING AND JUST STOP MIDWAY. *TR

WHEN I FILL UP MY CAR GAS SPILLS OUT AT THE END. IT STARTED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT BUT THEN IT STOPPED. THE LAST MONTH IT HAS GOTTEN EXTREMELY WORSE. I SAW THAT LATER MODEL JEEPS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. MINE WAS DOING EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE RECALL VEHICLES, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT TANK. I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY A DIME FOR A CONTINUED PART PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS FILLING UP MY JEEP, AND WHEN THE GAS PUMP SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY, A LOT OF GASOLINE CAME SPILLING OUT ALL OVER THE CAR AND MY LEG. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY, WITH GASOLINE RUSHING OUT DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS POURING GAS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR, THE GROUND, AND MY CLOTHES. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY STATION SO I KNOW IT ISN'T THE PUMP. NO MATTER WHAT I DO, THIS HAPPENS. I AM 100% CERTAIN THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TANK. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE TO ANY OF MY OTHER CARS. *TR

ON THE 2010 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES AND CHIMES WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE IN A FORWARD DRIVING MOTION. IT IS AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS. 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. OWNERS FROM ALL WRANGLER MODELS FROM 2007 - 2010 HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE. MANY OF THE 2007 MODELS HAVE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES FROM THE DEALER, AS WELL AS RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2007 - 2010 JEEP WRANGLER'S (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING FOR THE 2010 MODEL, THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 TO 55 MPH THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 11,000. UPDATED 01/09/13*LJ

I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE ON MAJOR HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 60 MPH WHEN I HIT A COUPLE BUMPS IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL STARTING SHIMMING VERY HARD, THE VEHICLE STARTING WOBBLING OUT OF CONTROL, HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GET THE WOBBLING AND SHAKING TO STOP. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT THEY TOLD ME THE STEERING DAMPENER WAS BAD AND THEY REPLACED IT. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS APPROX. 05/02/12 WITH 26,014 MILES EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED, TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD AGAIN STEERING DAMPENER WAS BAD AND THEY REPLACED IT,THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE WITH JEEPS AND WAS CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". AGAIN APPROX.07/31/12 WITH 31,306 MILES THIS UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE HAPPENED AGAIN,BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, CALLED JEEP CASE MANAGEMENT, THEY TOLD ME THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS MAKING THE DAMPNERS GO OUT, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE DAMPENER AND FRONT TRAC BAR,RE-ALIGNED THE FRONT END. I HAVE NOW OPENED A NEW CASE WITH JEEP MANAGEMENT AGAIN FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM, 10/15/12 THE VEHICLE IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH 33,900 MILES WITH SAME PROBLEM. JEEP CASE MANAGEMENT SAYS THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE TIRES TO SEE IF THAT'S THE PROBLEM NOW,BUT REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE TIRES,CLAIMING THEY DON'T MAKE THE TIRES, EVEN THOUGH IF NOW THE TIRES ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM OF THEIR FRONT END PARTS BEING BAD CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TIRES. THIS IS AN ONGOING PRO

WHILE FILLING MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH FUEL IT SPIT BACK ON ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES. *TR

MAIN ISSUE - DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD HIT A BUMP/UNEVEN PATCH OF ROAD AND THE CAR SHIMMERS/JERKS/WOBBLES BACK AND FORTH PROVIDING A FEELING OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. HONESTLY, I HAVE NOTICED THE SHIMMERING/WOBBLING/JERKING SINCE THE FIRST BUMP I WENT OVER WITH THE JEEP WRANGLER. I THOUGHT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR JEEP AS THIS IS MY FIRST JEEP WRANGLER I HAVE OWNED. I EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO REMOVE THE ORIGINAL TIRES (MORE OFF ROAD) AND GET ALL AROUND TIRES RECOMMENDED BY THE JEEP DEALER PER MY PRIVATE CAR MAINTENANCE SPECIALIST. THIS STILL DID NOT HELP. I HAVE THIS UNEASINESS WHEN DRIVING THE JEEP. I HAVE LEARNED TO BRACE MYSELF WHEN I NOTICE ROUGH/UNEVEN ROAD AHEAD. WHILE TRAVELING NORTHERN MICHIGAN (I-75) I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD (THE ROAD WAS PARTIALLY COVERED WITH SNOW), THE JEEP JERKED/SHIMMERED - I SPUN OUT OF CONTROL SAID A FEW PRAYERS AND WAS ABLE TO BRING THE JEEP BACK UNDER CONTROL WITHOUT FLIPPING. I SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY FOR ALMOST A HALF HOUR BEFORE I HAD THE COURAGE TO CONTINUE MY JOURNEY. MY YOUNGER ADULT CHILDREN AND HUSBAND DO NOT LIKE TO DRIVE MY JEEP BECAUSE OF THIS WOBBLE/JERKY EXPERIENCE AFTER A BUMP/EVEN ROAD. THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

INTERMITTENT LIGHTING OF ABS/AIRBAG. HORN NO LONGER WORKS. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 52,000.

2010 JEEP WRANGLER. CONSUMER STATES ELECTRICAL ISSUES. VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER INSTALLED A BLACK BOX IN THE VEHICLE ON APRIL 10, 2012. HOWEVER, THE NEXT DAY, THE BLACK BOX STOPPED WORKING. *JB

2010 JEEP WRANGLER. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH BUSTED BOOT AND VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING WHICH WORSENS AS SPEED INCREASES. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES, WITH NO RESOLUTION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE DRIVE SHAFT, INPUT SHAFT, TORQUE CONVERTOR AND A WORN DRUM. *JB

THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 41,000.

WHEN FILLING WITH FUEL, FUEL SPLASHES OUT, HAVE TO PUMP REAL SLOW TO FILL TANK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I HIT A BUMP AND EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WHERE YOUR CAR SHAKES OUT OF CONTROL AND YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO MAKE THE FRONT END STOP SHAKING. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP INTO HAVE THIS FIXED MORE THAN ONCE. THEY CLAIM THEY HAD TO CALL THE COOPERATE OFFICE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT AND THEN ABOUT A MONTH LATER DID THE SAME THING. I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON COMPLAINING OF THIS PROBLEM. I'VE READ ONLINE PLENTY OF ACCIDENTS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE ALMOST FLIPPED THEIR JEEPS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY WRANGLER WITH FUEL, THE TANK OVERFLOWS AFTER THE CLICK, SOMETIMES SPILLING AS MUCH AS A 1/2 GALLON OF FUEL ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I SLOW DOWN TO A TRICKLE. AS SOON AS I HEAR THE CLICK, GAS GOES EVERYWHERE. I AM GENUINLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY HAZARD AS THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME I FILL UP. *JS

THIS JEEP HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR ANY TYPE OF OFF ROADING, YET IT HAS A BURNT SMELL COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CHECKED HOWEVER THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE BURNT SMELL AND SMOKE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAS NOW BEEN CHECKED A COUPLE OF TIMES, WHERE ONLY AN TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE WAS PERFORMED BECAUSE THEY NEVER FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM. I CAN ONLY HOPE I DO NOT BECOME A STATISTIC, BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS FOUND. *TR

AFTER TRAVERSING A NATIONAL FOREST SERVICE ROAD LEAVES COLLECTED BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION SKID PLATE AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. WHILE DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS I WAS FLAGGED DOWN BY ANOTHER CAR TO INFORM ME THAT SPARKS WERE COMING FROM UNDER MY JEEP. LUCKILY THIS WAS AT NIGHT WHEN THE SPARKS COULD BE SEEN. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY DISCHARGED MY FIRE EXTINGUISHER ON THE LEAVES. THIS ONLY SLOWED THE FIRE... COLD WATER FROM A ICE CHEST FINALLY FULLY EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE DEBRIS WAS REMOVED AND THE AREA WAS INSPECTED WITH NO DAMAGE NOTED. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON MY TRIP. *TR

THE RECENT RECALL BY JEEP ON THE 2010 WRANGLERS DOES NOT FIT THE SITUATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN OCCURRING. SEVERAL OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SPONTANEOUS FIRES, AND WERE NOT IN ANY OFF-ROAD SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE CAUSE DEBRIS TO COLLECT ON OR NEAR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THEY WERE SIMPLY DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, OR ON THE HIGHWAY. ONE OWNER, WHO CONTACTED ME, HAD 16 MILES ON IT (2012 MODEL), AND HAD JUST PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP. IT CAUGHT ON FIRE ON HIS WAY HOME. ANOTHER OWNER HAD 600 MILES ON IT (ANOTHER 2012 MODEL) AND IT WAS SITTING IN FRONT OF HIS HOME. NUMEROUS HAVE NOT BEEN ON THE 2010 MODELS EITHER. THE DEBRIS THAT "COLLECTED" UNDER MY VEHICLE WAS NOT BURNED UP IN THE FIRE, AND NOT EVEN IN THAT SAME LOCATION. I BELIEVE THAT THIS "RECALL" IS JEEP'S ATTEMPT TO BANDAGE A LARGER ISSUE THEY ARE HIDING FROM THE PUBLIC. VIDEO FROM MY FIRE CLEARLY SHOWS A LIQUID (TRANNY FLUID OR FUEL) POURING FROM THE VEHICLE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE FIRE. MY FEELING IS THAT IT'S A TRANNY COOLER OVERFLOW PROBLEM, OR A BAD FUEL LINE CONNECTION. HERE IS A LINK TO THE FACEBOOK PAGE THAT I CREATED FOR OTHERS TO POST THEIR EXPERIENCES. HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/JEEPWRANGLERSTHATCAUGHTONFIRE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SPORT AT 40MPH AND HIT A BUMP THE JEEP VIBRATES AND MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO HIT THE BRAKES AND HOPE THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO STEER THE CAR SINCE YOU CANNOT WHEN THIS OCCURS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD A NAME FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS "DEATH WOBBLE". I ALSO NOTICED THAT MY TIRES WEAR MUCH QUICKER IN THE FRONT THEN THE REAR OF THE JEEP. *TR

I TRIED TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAD ABOUT 150 TO 200 FEET TO THE BACK OF THE NEXT VEHICLE. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MPH. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES WERE PULSATING. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AND I RELEASE AND PRESSED THE BRAKES AGAIN. THE VEHICLE NEVER STOPPED AND CONTINUED TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE POLICE WOULD NOT LET ME DRIVE IT AWAY FROM THE SCENE, THE DEALER INSISTED THAT I PAY A TOW TRUCK TO BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND AFTER THE SECOND DAY I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION OR ANY HOPE OF ANY? I WANT TO KNOW WHAT FAILED, CAN OR WILL THEY FIX IT AND WHAT CAN I DO TO GET TO WORK NOW? I BOUGHT IT NEW IN OCT 2010 AND IT HAS 35286 MILES ON IT. WELL WITHIN WARRENTY.

AROUND 1,500 MILES MY BRAND NEW 2010 JEEP WRANGLER "SPORT" WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION POPPED OUT OF 1ST GEAR VERY VIOLENTLY - THOUGHT I HAD HIT SOMETHING. ABOUT EVERY 100 MILES OR SO AFTER THAT INCIDENT, IT WILL POP OUT OF 1ST GEAR INTO NEUTRAL - OR - GRIND GEARS. IT WAS HAPPENING SO OFTEN, I CONTACTED MY DEALER WHO TOLD ME IT WASN'T "A PROBLEM OF CHRYSLER" MAYBE I WASN'T DRIVING IT CORRECTLY. I STARTED TO "PUSH" IT INTO 1ST GEAR WITH MORE ATTENTION, HOLDING MY HAND ON THE SHIFTER, THIS SEEMED TO WORK OKAY, UNTIL ONE DAY, AFTER I PUSHED IT INTO 1ST GEAR, IT POPPED OUT SO HARD IT ALMOST BROKE MY WRIST! IT SEEMS TO POP OUT OF 1ST SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK NOW, DRIVING AROUND TOWN (STOP AND GO TRAFFIC); ONCE IT POPPED OUT OF 1ST SO HARD IT WENT RIGHT INTO 2ND GEAR! ITS EXTRA SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS AT A RED LIGHT INTERSECTION AND WHEN I START TO PROCEED, IT WILL POP OUT LEAVING ME WITHOUT POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, WITH PEOPLE BEHIND ME - I HAVE TO QUICKLY THROW IT INTO 2ND BECAUSE IT WON'T GO BACK INTO 1ST. I HAVE 23,000 MILES ON MY JEEP NOW. I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY IT HAS HAPPENED OVER A 1,000 TIMES!! I HAVE STARTED TO "FEEL" WHEN IT MIGHT HAPPEN, WHILE MY HAND IS ON THE SHIFTER, IT SEEMS TO START TO WOBBLE - AS IF SOMETHING ISN'T CONNECTED RIGHT. I HAVE TRIED PULLING IT OUT OF 1ST GEAR WHEN I STOP, RE-SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR/1ST GEAR - DOESN'T FIX IT. I HAVE TRIED TO BABY IT, SHIFTING SOFTER, AND EVEN REV THE ENGINE AND "PEEL" OUT - IT DOESN'T MATTER, IT HAPPENS NO M

THE 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAD BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND FOR THE TEN MINUTES PRIOR TO THE STOP AT THE CONVENIENCE STORE HAD BEEN DRIVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DRIVER STOPPED AT A CONVENIENCE STORE FOR 5 MINUTES, PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT, AND APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES LATER THE JEEP HAD FLAMES SHOOTING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO GET INTO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT BEFORE THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER WITH NO SUCCESS. THE JEEP WAS A COMPLETE LOSS AT APPROXIMATELY 3000 MILES. THE ONLY UNUSUAL BEHAVIOR NOTED BEFORE THE FIRE WAS THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE ON 2 OCCASIONS. THE JEEP WAS SCHEDULED TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM BUT THEN BURNED TO THE GROUND. INVESTIGATION FROM THE CHRYSLER REP AND THE INSURANCE REP DETERMINED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS DUE TO "DEBRIS AROUND THE TRANSMISSION". *TR

MY 2010 JEEP WAS PARKED BUT RUNNING WHEN A FRIEND YELLED THAT MY CAR WAS ON FIRE SO I GOT OUT AND LOOKED AND FLAMES WERE SHOOTING OUT OF THE GRILL AND COMING OUT OF THE WHEEL WELL, WITHIN 2 MIN THE WHOLE JEEP WAS IN FLAMES AND WAS A TOTAL LOSS, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED BUT WAS TOO LATE, THE INSURANCE COMPANY SAID IT MOST LIKELY CAME FROM THE TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE AS THERE WAS PROBLEMS REPORTED LATELY. *JS

ATTEMPTED TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. TRIED PUMPING BUT NOTHING. ENDED UP RUNNING THE RED LIGHT AND WAS NOT ABLE TO GET IT TO STOP UNTIL I HAD CROSSED THROUGH ALL THE LANES TO THE OTHER SIDE. BRAKES STARTED WORKING AFTER CROSSING THE STREET AND CONTINUED TO WORK UNTIL TAKEN BACK TO JEEP SERVICE. THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE FLUID. FOUND INTERNAL FAILURE OF BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER, INSTALLED NEW ONE AND BLEED MASTER CYLINDER. EVIDENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2010 MASTER CYLINDERS BUT MY JEEP DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE. HOW DO I KNOW THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW TYPE AND NOT THE SAME STYLE MASTER CYLINDER THAT FAILED. *JS *TR

WHEN REFUELING FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FILLING PORT ON VEHICLE. FUEL SPURTS OUT POTENTIALLY ONTO PERSON REFUELING VEHICLE OR ONTO VEHICLE AND GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS DURING DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES AND REFUELING CONDITIONS. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. *TR

FOR THE PAST MONTH, AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY A HALF AN HOUR OR SO, I HAVE NOTICED WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT SOMETIMES WHEN I STOP COMPLETELY AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. I HAVE NOTICED THIS AT LEAST EIGHT OR NINE TIMES. I DO TAKE LONG TRIPS AND IT IS MY DAILY VEHICLE AND NOW THAT I HAVE HEARD ABOUT SOME 2010 JEEP WRANGLER MODELS EXPERIENCING VEHICLE FIRES, I WANTED TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO ENSURE MY FAMILY AND I'S SAFETY AS WE TRAVEL. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME IN THIS ENDEAVOR AND LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING BACK FROM YOU. *TR

FUEL OVERFLOW WHEN GETTING GAS AT THE PUMP. AUTO-OFF DOES NOT CLICK OFF BUT ALSO, WHEN FUELING MANUALLY, PUMP DOES NOT CLICK OFF WHEN TANK IS FULL. ALSO, THE ANGLE OF THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE SEEMS TO AFFECT SEVERITY OF PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM STARTED BACK IN JANUARY OF 2012. HAD THE JEEP FOR 8 MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS.

TIPM IS CREATING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE HEADLIGHTS FAIL TO WORK ON MY VEHICLE ON START UP OR ONCE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT THE JEEP AND STATED THE TIPM MODULE WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART WAS INDEFINITELY ON BACKORDER FROM JEEP, AND COULD NOT EVEN BE REPLACED IF IT WERE UNDER WARRANTY. DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THAT IS UNDER 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS WITH THE TIPM MODULE ON JEEP / CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THIS WILL HAPPEN TO SOMEONE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE, AND CREATE A DEADLY EVENT. WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHRYSLER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION AND CORRECT THE ISSUE TO PROTECT THE SAFETY OF THE MISSIONS OF PEOPLE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT, WHICH OCCURRED IN MARCH 2011, TWO (2) VALVE STEMS DEVELOPED AIR LEAKS DUE TO RUST. THEY WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED ON MARCH 21, 2011, ONE (1) VALVE STEM DEVELOPED AN AIR LEAK CAUSED BY A CRACK IN THE VALVE STEM. THE STEM WAS REPLACED BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP AGAIN UNDER WARRANTY. THE NEW VALVE STEM HAS A BLACK RUBBER COATING WHERE AS THE OTHER 4 STEMS DO NOT.. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 17200 MILES AND MY FEAR IS THAT MY WIFE OR MYSELF MAYBE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ANOTHER VALVE STEM FAILS CAUSING A BLOWOUT AND THEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT MAYBE CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TO JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AT AN 800 NUMBER BUT THEY SAY NOTHING WILL BE DONE TO REPLACE THE 4 VALVE STEMS THAT DO NOT HAVE A RUBBER COATING. IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES IN THE PAST, THAT THE VALVE STEMS ARE BEING MADE DIFFERENTLY NOW. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN REFUELING AT A GAS STATION. IF I FILL UP THE TANK, LETTING THE GAS PUMP SHUT OFF WHEN IT WANTS TO, ABOUT A CUP OF FUEL COMES BACK OUT OF THE GAS TANK. I AM NOT TOPPING OFF THE TANK. *TR

ON JAN. 19TH, 2012 MY JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON EDITION (WITH AUTO TRANNY) CAUGHT ON FIRE. JUST PRIOR TO THAT THE ENGINE HAD CUT OFF. I LOST ALL POWER. MY CO-WORKER INDICATED THAT THE CARS COMING TOWARDS US WERE FLASHING THEIR LIGHTS AND HONKING THEIR HORNS. I LOOKED IN THE REAR-VIEW MIRROW TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOMEONE BEHIND ME, AND SAW A TRAIL OF SMOKE FROM MY JEEP. I HAD NO DASH WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING A PROBLEM, AND ACCORDING TO THE DEPUTY SHERRIFF, WHO WAS TRAVELING TOWARDS ME DURING THE SITUATION, THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY ON FIRE. WE DRIFTED TO THE NEXT PULL OFF AND JUMPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE, AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK. I REALIZED AT THAT TIME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL MOVING FORWARD, AND HAD TO JUMP BACK IN TO APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP IT FROM ROLLING DOWN THE STREET. MY CO-WORKER SAID THAT THERE APPEARED TO BE SOMETHING ON FIRE UNDER THE HOOD, AND I TOLD HIM NOT TO OPEN IT, SO HE WENT FOR HELP. I PROCEEDED TO REMOVE MY WORK AND HUNTING GEAR. I MANAGED TO GET MY PAYROLL CHECKS, DEPOSIT CHECKS, AND MY TOOL BAG OUT OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT WAS FULLY INVOLVED, BOTH INSIDE AND OUT. AS I REACHED INTO THE BACK TO GRAB MY TOOL BAG, I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER COMPARMENT WAS ALREADY FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. NEITHER OF US WAS HURT, EXCEPT FOR SOME SMOKE INHALATION. I AM THANKFUL THAT I DID NOT HAVE MY FAMILY WITH ME, THAT WE WERE NOT TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, OR THAT I DID NOT MAKE IT HOME AND PARK THE JEEP IN THE GARAGE. FROM THE TIME THE JEEP SHUT OFF

STOCK 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON ~25,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING ~ 25MPH ON A CITY STREET, BRAKES FAILED AND I DROVE THROUGH A STOP SIGN - I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE DASH AND ATTEMPTED TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. BEFORE I COULD, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND I NOTICED FLAMES FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. I JUMPED FROM THE JEEP. FIRE SERVICES WERE ON SCENE W/I 2 MINUTES AND JEEP WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES (AROUND ENGINE COMPARTMENT) W/I 30 SECONDS. *TR

EVERY TIME I GO TO FILL UP MY CAR WITH GAS, I GET A OVER SPILL OF GAS THAT SHOOTS OUT OF MY CAR ABOUT 2 INCHES AWAY FROM MY CAR. AND ALSO ALONG THE SIDE OF MY CAR. IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE TANK GAS SPILLS OUT WHEN THE HANDLE STOPS FLOW AT THE FULL TANK LEVEL. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU FILL THE TANK SLOWLY OR EVEN DECREASE THE GAS FLOW TO THE POINT JUST BEFORE THE HANDLE SHUTS OFF. IT STILL OVERFLOWS. I HAVE READ IN FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP JK MODELS, POSSIBLY A DEFECT WITH THE TANK CHECK VALVE OR THE OVERFLOW DRAIN LINE. THE TSB'S I'VE READ ONLY INDICATE A FREE DEALER WARRANTY FIX FOR THE 07 AND 08 MODELS BUT REPORTS CONTINUE THE BE NOTED FOR '09 AND '10 MODELS AS WELL. THIS SAFETY HAZARD MUST BE ADDRESSED. *TR

2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, VEHICLE POPS-OUT OF FIRST GEAR DURING ACCELERATION. THIS CAUSES DANGEROUS LOSS OF POWER AND ENDANGERS OCCUPANTS. SOMETIMES RESISTS BEING PLACED INTO FIRST GEAR. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON! GAS CAP LIGHT STAYS ON! *TR

WHEN PUMPING FUEL INTO THE 2010 WRANGLER UNLIMITED INSTEAD OF THE PUMP CUTTING OFF IT SPEWS GAS OUT OF THE TANK. THINKING IT MAY BE A PUMP FAILURE I IGNORED. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AT EVERY GAS PUMP I GO TO. YOU CAN PUMP GAS VERY SLOWLY INTO THE TANK AND WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE GETTING NEAR RELEASE, BUT THIS DOES NOT FIX THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH COULD LEAD TO POTENTIAL FIRE ISSUES, ALONG WITH ERODING PAINT. I HAVE TO GET A CAR WASH WHENEVER THIS HAPPENS. THE GAS GETS ON MY CLOTHES AND SHOES. THIS PROBLEM ALSO AFFECTS MY JOB. THE ARE NUMEROUS VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE DETAILING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

2010 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED: WHILE REFUELING MY VEHICLE I ENGAGED THE HANDLE TO CONTINUE FUELING WHILE I WENT INSIDE THE GAS STATION. WHEN I RETURNED, THE PUMP HAD DISENGAGED, BUT THERE WAS FUEL ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ON THE GROUND. MY FUEL GAUGE REGISTERED FULL AND THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED SO I THOUGHT THE FUEL PUMP MAY HAVE BEEN FAULTY. MY NEXT TRIP TO THE GAS STATION, I MONITORED IT MORE CLOSELY AND WAS ABLE TO REFUEL AS NORMAL CONFIRMING MY ORIGINAL THOUGHT THAT THE PUMP HAD MALFUNCTIONED. DURING MY NEXT ATTEMPT TO REFUEL I HAD AGAIN ENGAGED THE HANDLE TO CONTINUE FUELING AS I SAT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I HEARD THE THUNK OF THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF AND SAW AGAIN THE GAS HAD SPRAYED ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ON THE GROUND. THIS WAS NOT THE SAME GAS STATION AS THE ORIGINAL OCCURRENCE SO I BELIEVED THE PROBLEM WAS ACTUALLY MY GAS TANK. I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED MY GAS TANK WITHOUT EXPLANATION. AT THIS POINT I HAD APPROXIMATELY 22K MILES ON MY JEEP. I PURCHASED MY JEEP NEW IN AUGUST 2010 WITH 154 MILES ON IT. I HAVE OWNED IT FOR 18 MONTHS AND IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 22K MILES ON IT. *KB
