2010 Jeep Wrangler complaints

2010 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED: ROUGHLY 10 MONTHS INTO OWNING MY NEW JEEP I NOTICED THE BRAKES WERE SQUEALING. THIS WAS NOT NOTICEABLE WITH THE TOP ON AND MUSIC PLAYING SO I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG THEY HAD BEEN MAKING THE NOISE. I ASKED MY HUSBAND TO TAKE A LOOK AND HE SAID HE COULDN'T REPLICATE THE SQUEALING. WE FOUND IT DID NOT ALWAYS MAKE THE NOISE WHEN I BRAKED. I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL AND MENTIONED THE SQUEALING. THEY SAID POLLEN OR OTHER SMALL PARTICLES COULD SETTLE IN THEM AND CAUSE A TEMPORARY SQUEAK. AGAIN, WITH THE TOP ON AND MUSIC PLAYING I DIDN'T HEAR IT. RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING DOWNTOWN WITH MY WINDOWS DOWN AND COULD HEAR THE SHRILL SQUEAL EVERYTIME I HIT A LIGHT. HAVING ANOTHER RECALL TO ATTEND TO AND AN OVERFLOWING GAS TANK ISSUE TO ADDRESS, I DECIDED TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT THE BRAKES. I HAD ALSO NOTICE THE RIDE HAD GOTTEN MUCH ROUGHER AND THE IDLE FELT SHAKY WHEN SITTING IN TRAFFIC. THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED HE BELIEVED THERE WAS DEBRIS BETWEEN MY BRAKE PAD AND MY ROTOR WHICH CAUSED SIGNIFICANT PITTING IN THE ROTOR. THE PITTING WAS SO BAD THEY COULD NOT RESURFACE IT, BUT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. MY HUSBAND QUESTIONED THE LIKELIHOOD FOR SOMETHING TO GET LODGED BETWEEN THE BRAKE PAD AND THE ROTOR AND THE TECHNICIAN AGREED IT WAS UNCOMMON. THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, WAS THEY SAID THE SAME PHENOMENON OCCURRED ON BOTH REAR BRAKES. BOTH? SINCE THE WARRANTY ONLY ADDRESSED THE BRAKES IN THE FIRST YEAR / 12K MILES, HE EXPLAINED THIS WAS N

2010 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED: I RECENTLY TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ATTEND TO ANOTHER RECALL AND CHECK OUT SOME PROBLEMS - OVERFLOWING GAS TANK, SQUEALING BRAKES, ROUGH IDLE IN TRAFFIC, INCREASINGLY ROUGH AND LOUD RIDE. I PURCHASED MY JEEP NEW 18 MONTHS AGO AND IT NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 22K MILES. THEY REPLACED THE GAS TANK WHICH I NOW UNDERSTAND IS A COMMON ISSUE ON THE 2010 RUBICONS. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO REPLACE BOTH ROTORS WHICH ARE NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO DEBRIS GETTING CAUGHT BETWEEN THE BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR ON BOTH REAR BRAKES. AND, THEY EXPLAINED THE LOUD/ROUGH RIDE WAS FROM THE UNEVEN WEAR ON MY FRONT TIRES. THE TREAD ON MY FRONT TIRES SHOWED SEVERE CUPPING. THE TECH SAID IT WAS FROM NOT ROTATING MY TIRES OFTEN ENOUGH AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON JEEPS SINCE THE FRONT HAS MORE "PLAY" AND THE REAR IS MORE "SOLID". HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY JEEP. I QUESTIONED WHETHER THE SIGNIFICANT UNEVEN WEAR WAS ACCEPTABLE AFTER ONLY 22K MILES. HE OFFERED NO OTHER SOLUTION OTHER THAN ROTATING THE DAMAGED TIRES TO THE BACK AND WAIT FOR THEM TO WEAR EVENLY. MY CONCERN WAS ROTATING THE TIRES WOULD JUST CREATE ISSUE WITH MY OTHER TWO TIRES AS WELL. HE SAID IT'S JUST NORMAL AND I'D NEED TO REPLACE ALL OF MY TIRES SOON ANYWAY. WITH THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE BEING ONLY 18 MONTHS WITH 22K MILES, I QUESTION IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RELATED TO MY SUSPENSION. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ACTIVATED WHEN SUDDENLY, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO OPERATE. THE SIMILAR FAILURE RECURRED FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THREE DIFFERENT TIMES WHERE THE HEADLIGHT WIRES WERE RECONNECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE MALFUNCTION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THAT WHEN USING THE HEAT, THERE WAS NO HEAT COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE HEATER CORE AND FLUSH THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A CLAIM WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,800 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

GAS TANK OVERFILL ISSUE. DURING FILL UPS THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY AS INTENDED. WITHIN SECONDS A QUANTITY OF GAS WILL SURGE FROM THE FILLER NECK AND LEAK DOWN THE SIDE. THE QUANTITY IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT. PER MY RECORDS FROM PREVIOUS FILL UPS (WHERE THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE) NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN QUANTITY OF GAS OR MILEAGE DRIVEN HAS OCCURRED. ATTEMPTS TO LIMIT THE PROBLEM BY FILLING UP AT 1/2 TANK DID NOT HELP. SLOWING THE FILL RATE DOES NOT HELP MOST OF THE TIME. *TR

THE 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WAS PARKED AND RUNNING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT TURNED OFF. I ATTEMPTED TO START, AND HEARD MY SISTER YELLING GET THE CAR IS ON FIRE. ONCE OUT OF THE JEEP I LOOKED UNDER IT AND SAW AN UNKNOWN LIQUID BURNING DOWN TO THE GROUND FROM THE ENGINE AREA. I ATTEMPTED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITH WATER BUT I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. WITHIN MINUTES IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE REAL GOOD VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT FROM BEGINNING TO END, DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY SISTER WAS VIDEOTAPING A HISTORIC POST OFFICE AT THE TIME TURNED AROUND AND WAS ABLE TO CATCH THE INCIDENT AS IT OCCURRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFILLING THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE WOULD OVERFLOW AND APPROXIMATELY ONE QUART OF FUEL WOULD SPILL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT HE NEEDED A NEW FUEL SYSTEM. THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD VIOLENTLY SHAKE AFTER DRIVING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS ALIGNED AND TIRES WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 01/17/12 *BF UPDATED 01/18/12

DROVE APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES, AND TURNED INTO A DRIVEWAY. TRAVELING NO MORE THAN 10 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW. THE VEHICLE, A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER SUSTAINED $1500 DAMAGE WHEN THE BLOWOUT JERKED THE VEHICLE INTO A STONE WALL. THE JEEP HAS 6,916 MILES ON IT, HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD, AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIRE TO BLOWOUT. *TR

THE 2010 JEEP WRANGLER WAS REPAIRED OCTOBER 26TH BY A CHRYSLER DEALER FOR 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION POPPING OUT OF FIRST GEAR. APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AFTER REPAIRED, THE SAME CONDITION REAPPEARED. SINCE 10-28-11 IT HAS POPPED OUT OF FIRST GEAR 5 TIMES FOR AN AVERAGE ONCE EVERY 68 MILES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH JEEP WRANGLERS THAT HAVE A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH CHRYSLER SAYS THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NEVER RECREATE THE CONDITION WHEN THEY DRIVE IT IN THE PARKING LOT SO THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THE JEEP FIRST POPPED OUT OF FIRST GEAR ON AUGUST 31, 2011. WE FILED A COMPLIANT, #10425283, BUT FELT SINCE IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AFTER A REPAIR IT SHOULD BE FILED AGAIN. SOMEONE HAS TO DEMAND THAT CHRSYLER ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND CORRECT THE ISSUE. *TR

TANK OVERFLOWS ON GAS FILL UP. *TR

OUR DAUGHTER'S 2010 JEEP WRANGLER CAUGHT ON FIRE JUST AS SHE HAD PARKED IT IN HER UNDERGROUND PARKING GARAGE. SHE WAS SITTING IN THE CAR, LISTENING TO THE END OF A SONG, WHEN SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT OF THE HOOD OF THE CAR. THEN IS BURST INTO FLAMES. SHE JUMPED OUT AND RAN OUT OF THE GARAGE AND THEN CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND US. SHE HAD ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER THREE MONTHS AND BOUGHT IT FROM HAMPTON IMPORTS NEAR DESTIN, FLORIDA. STATE FARM INVESTIGATED, AS WELL AS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. NEITHER COULD FIND A CAUSE. I CALLED CHRYSLER, BECAUSE I HAD READ THAT CHINA WAS NO LONGER ALLOWING THE WRANGLER IN THEIR COUNTRY DUE TO FIRE CONCERNS. THEY DID INVESTIGATE AND FOUND NO CAUSE. I WROTE A FOLLOW-UP LETTER TO THE CHRYSLER DIRECTOR OF CUSTOMER RELATIONS, ASKING IF THEY WERE INVESTIGATING THE SAFETY OF ALL OF THEIR JEEP WRANGLERS AND THEY NEVER REPLIED TO THE LETTER. *TR

DRIVING ON I10 WEST BOUND FROM PHOENIX TO CALIFORNIA WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION UNDER THE FEET ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND SAW FLAMES. TRIED TO PUT OUT WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER WITHOUT SUCCESS. TRIED A SECOND EXTINGUISHER WITH THE SAME RESULTS. GOT 90% OF MY STUFF OUT OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS LIFTED, WITH SKIP PLATES, WINCH. TOTAL LOSS. NO WARNING LIGHTS, SOUNDS OR ANY INDICATION THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. *TT

THE VIN PROVIDED ABOVE IS THE LAST 8 DIGITS. THIS WAS A RENTAL CAR FROM NATIONAL RENTAL CAR. THE JEEP WRANGLER WE RENTED HAD A CONTITRAC AT TIRE IN THE LEFT REAR POSITION; ALL OTHER TIRES, INCLUDING SPARE ON BACK WERE GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES. THE CONTITRAC AT TIRE SUFFERED AN EXPLOSIVE BLOWOUT, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. THE ENTIRE TREAD BLEW OFF THE TIRE CARCASS, AND THE EXPLOSIVE FORCE CAUSED THE LEFT REAR FENDER TO BLOW OFF THE CAR. THERE WAS TIRE SHRAPNEL ALL OVER THE ROAD (HIGHWAY 17 SOUTHBOUND IN ARIZONA, NEAR JEROME STATE PARK), CAUSING CONSIDERABLE DANGER TO ALL VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. WE WERE ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE OUT-OF-CONTROL VEHICLE AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE CHANGED THE TIRE AND CONTINUED WITH OUR TRIP. NATIONAL RENTAL CAR IS AWARE OF THIS SITUATION, WHICH CAUSED $1,783.55 OF DAMAGE TO THEIR VEHICLE. WE WERE OBVIOUSLY HELD NOT LIABLE, AND ARE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE.

THE PASSENGER SEAT ON THE JEEP DOES NOT LOCK IN PLACE, WHEN YOU TRY TO ENTER THE BACK SEAT. THE PASSENGER NORMALLY WILL GRAB HOLD OF THE SEAT ON ENTRY, OR EXIT OF THE JEEP. IT IS USTABLE AND SLIDES AND CAUSES THE PASSENGER TO FALL OR STUMBLE OUT OF REAR SEAT. IT NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD AND LOCK. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 10 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED FROM FIRST GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,400 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,800.

ON 9-2-211 WAS DRIVING HOME AND SMELT SOMETHING BURNING. PULLED OVER AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. UPON OPENING HOOD QUICKLY REALIZED IT WAS ON FIRE. IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES THE ENTIRE JEEP WAS IN FLAMES CAUSING TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND IT HAD NEVER BEEN WRECKED OR IN THE SHOP FOR EEED REPAIRS. *TR

LETTER RE THE PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED WITH A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER FEELS THAT VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THE NEW CAR LEMON LAW (ENTIRE PACKAGE NOT IMAGED, FORWARDED TO NVS-200) *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THERE HAVE BEEN REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE REMAINS DEFECTIVE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING SLUGGISH AND BURNING OIL, BUT NO LEAKS WERE FOUND. THE PROBLEM WENT ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE, BUT THE DEALER WOULD NOT APPROVE A NEW ENGINE, SO THEY KEPT REPLACING PARTS. THE VEHICLE WAS EVENTUALLY RETURNED TO THE CONSUMER, WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER CHECKED THE ENGINE AGAIN, AND DISCOVERED IT WAS BURNING 1 QUART OF OIL PER HOUR AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE HARD TOP WAS LEAKING AND RUINED THE CARPET. THE STARTER WAS DEFECTIVE. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION WAS EXHIBITING A BURNING SMELL, IT WOULD SLIP AND WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR AND THE FLUID WAS NO LONGER THE CORRECT COLOR. ALSO, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ROSE JUST UNDER THE OVERHEATING POINT. THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN WAS DEFECTIVE. ALSO, THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSFER CASE. *JB

WAS 4 WHEELING AND SMELL FUEL OUT OF THE RIGHT SIDE REAR. DEALER INSTALLED O RING: FUEL PUMP AND LEVEL. INSTALLED NEW FUEL TANK. 07/01/2011 SMELLED FUEL COMING FROM RIGHT REAR. DEALER DID SMOKE TEST AND FOUND LEAK AT THE EVAP CANISTER INSTALLED NEW VENT CANISTER. 08/04/2011. STILL SMELL FUEL FROM RIGHT REAR, DEALER DID SMOKE TEST FOUND NO LEAKS, BUT COULD SMELL FUEL VAPOR IN RIGHT REAR. STATED THAT WHEN OFF RODE FUEL MOVES MORE IN THE TANK AND THAT THE JEEP IS SAFE, AND NO FIX AT THIS TIME. HOW CAN THIS BE TRUE??. IF I WOULD STRIKE A MATCH IT WOULD EXPLODE AND LIFE COULD BE LOST.

2010 JEEP WRANGLER WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST TIRES. RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT, WITH COMPLETE SEPARATION OF THE TREAD FROM THE RIM. 4064 MILES ON THE TIRE. NO INJURIES. CONDITIONS DRY, 103 DEGREES, NO ROAD HAZARDS AFFECTED THE TIRE. DOT M671 EYER 2110. *KB

ON 6/17/2011 WE HAD OUR 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON ON AN OFF-ROAD TRAIL IN 2WD. THE TRAIL CAN BE DESCRIBED AS MILD TERRAIN NOT REQUIRING 4WD FOR ANY PART OF THE TRAIL. APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES IN WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE, STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT AXLE HOUSING WAS CRACKED. CHRYSLER'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WOULD NOT RECOVER TEH VEHICLE FROM THE TRAIL SO WE GOT IT TO A MAINTAINED ROAD. SEVERAL DAYS LATER WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO OUR JEEP DEALER FOR INSPECTION. WARRANTY WORK WAS DENIED ON THE BROKEN AXLE HOUSING DUE TO CHRYSLER'S DETERMINATION THAT WE TEH FAILURE OCCURRED DUE TO EXTREME OFF-ROADING. VERBALLY WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT WE WERE NOT USING THE VEHICLE FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. WE SUBMITTED PHOTOS AND NARRATIVES OF SIMILIAR INCIDENTS (FRONT AXLE HOUSING BREAKS DURING DURING MILD OFF-ROAD DRIVING, AND ONE INSTANCE OF HITTING A CURB WITH THE TIRES). THESE WERE REGARDED AS INCIDENTS OF EXTREME OFF-ROADING AS WELL. SINCE THE BREAKAGE OCCURRED AFTER SEVERAL MILES OF TRAVEL ON MAINTAINED HIGHWAY, AND THEN APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES ON MILD OFF-ROAD TRAILS THAT DID NOT REQUIRE 4WD WE WILL REPLACE THE ENTIRE AXLE WITH AN AFTERMARKET PRODUCT THAT IS SIMILIAR IN COST. OUR CONCERN IS THAT AS WE RESEARCH ONLINE WE ARE FINDING SIMILIAR INCIDENTS UNDER SIMILIAR CONDITIONS - FRONT AXLE HOUSING BREAKS IN THE SAME LOCATION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS UNDER ONLY SLGHTLY HIGHER THAN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON 2007-2010 JEEP WRANGLER JK UNLIMITED RUBICONS. RUBICONS HAVE A

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT COVER DISLODGED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHT WOULD BOUNCE UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING LIMITED ILLUMINATION OF THE ROADWAY AHEAD. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE BRACKET WHICH WOULD CONNECT THE CASING TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE YET THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,182 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,482.

I DROVE MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED THROUGH WATER THAT WAS SITTING IN A PASTURE THAT HAD BEEN SHREDDED. 30 MINUTES LATER MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. THE DESIGN OF THE SKID PLATE ALLOWED THE GRASS THAT WAS FLOATING ON THE WATER TO BE PUSHED UNDER THE SKID PLATE AND AROUND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WITHIN 30 MINUTES THE GRASS DRIED AND CAUGHT ON FIRE. I HAD 3 KIDS IN THE CAR ON OUR WAY BACK FROM A RODEO AND ENDED UP WATCHING MY JEEP BURN AT 1:00 IN THE MORNING. CHRYSLER WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND HAS DENIED MY CLAIM. THE BACK SKID PLATE HAS A LIP THAT DIPS DOWN AND ALLOWS THE POSSIBILITY OF DEBRIS TO BE SUCKED UP AROUND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE GAS LINE AND THE TRANSMISSION ARE RIGHT NEXT TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH IS DANGEROUS. MY CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS LUCKILY WE WERE ALL GOT OUT OF THE CAR WITHOUT INJURY, I DO PLAN ON MAKING SURE THIS DANGER IS KNOWN SINCE CHRYSLER WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DESIGN FLAW. *TR

WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY, MY JEEP JUMPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHILE ACCELERATING AWAY FROM A STOP. EVEN WITH MY HAND ON THE SHIFT LEVER, HOLDING MY VEHICLE IN FIRST GEAR, IT WILL AT TIMES JUMP OUT OF GEAR WITH A VIOLENT METAL-ON-METAL COLLISION SOUND. SEVERAL TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN CROSSING OR JOINING TRAFFIC AT AN INTERSECTION, AND IS VERY DANGEROUS.

WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS, IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF WHEN FULL. IT SHOOTS FUEL UP AND OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE SOAKING THE SIDE OF THE JEEP, THE BUMPER, THE FUEL FILLER WAND, AND ANYONE STANDING CLOSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME FILLING TO FULL. *TR

IN APRIL 2011, MY JEEP WENT IN FOR SERVICE AT HERB CHAMBERS. THERE WERE SAFETY RECALLS THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED AND I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN TO THE SERVICE ASSOCIATE ABOUT MY PARKING BRAKE BEING LOOSE AND NOT PROPERLY ADJUSTED. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP THE DIAGNOSIS I RECEIVED FROM THE SERVICE ASSOCIATE WAS THAT A MASSACHUSETTS REGISTERED SAFETY INSPECTOR EXAMINED MY PARKING BRAKE AND IT WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IN MAY 2011, APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS IN FOR SERVICE, I PARKED MY VEHICLE IN ITS PARKING SPOT AT MY HOUSE AND WHEN I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE FIVE MINUTES LATER IT HAD ROLLED INTO THE WOODS. WHEN THE JEEP ROLLED INTO THE WOODS IT HIT THREE TREES RESULTING IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE FENDER RIPPING OFF. WHEN I CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE AT JEEP THEY STATED I NEEDED TO FILE A CLAIM THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD ASSIST ME WITH. A CLAIM WAS FILED THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND CHRYSLER COMPANY. CURRENTLY THE JEEP IS BEING REPAIRED THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I FEEL THAT ONCE THE BODY WORK IS COMPLETE ON MY JEEP THE MECHANICAL PARTS OF THE JEEP WILL STILL BE DEFECTIVE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE WILL FAIL AGAIN AND COULD SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGE PROPERTY OR A BYSTANDER. CHRYSLER SENT OUT A PRIVATE CONTRACTOR, HANK SULLIVAN, WHO INSPECTED THE PARKING BRAKE. WHEN REQUESTED TO BE ON SITE OF HIS INVESTIGATION OF MY VEHICLE MY REQUESTED WAS DENIED. ONCE HIS INVESTIGATION WAS COMPLETE I REQUESTED PAPERWORK TO VERIF

THE FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN DOING FILL UP EVERY TIME. IT HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS AND I NEVER TRY TO "TOP OFF" THE TANK. I DO NOT WANT A FIRE, SO MY CONCERN IS FOR MORE THAN MY RUINED SHOES AND DETERIORATING PAINT NEAR THE TANK. I HAVE READ OF MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND IS YET UNRESOLVED. *TR

ON APRIL 16TH, 2011 SEVERAL OF US DECIDED TO DO A MILD 4-WHEEL DRIVE TRIP TO A LOCAL WATERFALL. I WAS DRIVING A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON IN 4X4 LOW ON A DIRT ROAD. WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US STOPPED AND EVERYONE GOT OUT AND STARTED TO GATHER THEIR STUFF FROM THE REAR OF THEIR JEEP. I STOPPED ROUGHLY 10 FT BEHIND THE FIRST VEHICLE ON A SLIGHT INCLINE (10% ANGLE) DOWNWARDS TOWARDS THE FIRST VEHICLE, PUT MY JEEP (AUTO TRANSMISSION) INTO PARK, AND TOOK OUT THE KEY. WE EXITED MY JEEP AND STARTED WALKING TOWARDS THE FIRST JEEP AS I APPROACHED MY FRONT TIRE, THE JEEP STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD AND IT MADE A RATCHETING NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE TYPE OF NOISE THAT IS MADE WHEN ONE WOULD PUT A MOVING VEHICLE INTO PARK. MY JEEP CRASHED INTO THE TAILGATE OF THE FIRST JEEP ALMOST CRUSHING MY FRIEND. FORTUNATELY MY JEEP HIT THE TAILGATE OF THE FIRST JEEP AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE AND THE DOOR WITHHELD THE FORCE OF MY JEEP CRASHING INTO HIS JEEP. TOOK THE JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX THE JEEP. I DROVE THE JEEP HOME AND WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES, AND WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT CONSISTENTLY IN ANOTHER 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR.. I CREATED A VIDEO OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILING AND SENT IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. I WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE BY STOPPING ON A HILL WITH A PRETTY GOOD ANGLE AND CYCLE THROUGH THESE ACTIONS: PUT FOOT ON BRAKE, PUT JEEP IN DRIVE, DR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED IN A MANNER IN WHICH THE ROOF AND DOORS COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE DURING WARM WEATHER. WHEN THE ROOF AND DOORS WERE REMOVED, THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS WERE REPOSITIONED TO MOUNT ONTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD SUPPORT FRAME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE MIRRORS WERE MOUNTED IN THIS POSITION, THE VIEW IN THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR WAS OBSTRUCTED BY APPROXIMATELY 85 PERCENT, REDUCING VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

I WAS DRIVING AND ASK OF A SUDDEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD HEAR A CLANK/CLUNK IN STEERING COLUMN. ALSO HORN NOR CRUISE CONTROL WOULD WORK. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CLOCKSPRING THE NEXT DAY. NO REASON WHY. JUST STATED THEY GO OUT. MINE WENT OUT AT 20XXX MILES!!! NO RECALL!! *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER PORT DURING THE REFUELING PROCESS. THIS CONDITION GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO THE FULL OR NEARLY FULL LEVEL AND THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OR CLICKS OFF. THE FUEL SPLASHES ON THE PERSON FUELING THE CAR, THE CAR ITSELF, AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY, NOT JUST A SINGLE OCCURRENCE. *TR

UNIDENTIFIED NOISE FROM TRANSMISSION. DEALER FOUND BROKEN SPRING ON CLUTCH PLATE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM. ONLY INDICATING THAT THE CLUTCH IS A "WEARABLE PART". DEALERSHIP INDICATES COULD HAVE CAUSED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. CHECKED WITH 7 OTHER DEALERSHIPS AND NO ONE HAS SEEN THIS SAME PROBLEM IN THEIR SHOPS. *TR

JEEP 2010 WRANGLER UNLIMITED MANUAL TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHEN ENGAGING FROM STOP . THE ISSUE IS RANDOM AND THUS DEALERSHIPS AND CHRSYLER REPRESTATIVES WILL NO HELP SINCE THEY SAY THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE ISSUE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED IN TSB 21-001-10 AND HAS GONE BACK TO MODEL YR 2007 AND STILL NO PERMANENT SOLUTION. I HAD TO SHOW DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER TSB BEFORE THEY WOULD EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE ISSUE. CONSEQUENCES ARE LIFE THREATNING. VEHICLE WAS ALMOST T-ED AT INTERSECTION TAKING LEFT ACROSS SEVERAL LANES. *TR

ON THE FIRST DAY JEEP GAVE ME MY NEW TRUCK I TOOK THE JEEP TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION TO FILL UP THE TANK FOR THE FIRST TIME. WHEN THE TANK FILLED UP, IT SPILLED FUEL ALL OVER THE GROUND , TRUCK AND GAS STATION PERSONNEL WHO WAS REFUELING THE TRUCK ( THERE IS PERSONNEL IN CHARGE OF REFUELING IN GAS STATIONS IN MY COUNTRY : PERU SOUTHAMERICA ) MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED 4 DR WAS BOUGHT ON THIS FEBRUARY OF 2011 , AND KEEPS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM . MY CONCERN IS THAT SINCE MY TRUCK IS NOT ON THE U.S TERRITORY ( BUT MANUFACTURED ON THE U.S ) JEEP ON MY COUNTRY WILL TRY TO AVOID TAKING CARE OF MANY OF THE RECALLS BEEN MADE ALREADY TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM , WHICH I HAVE READ AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. IS EVERY JEEP DEALER ( EVEN OUTSIDE U.S ) OBLIGATED TO CALL HIS JEEP WRANGLER CUSTOMERS FOR RECALLS ???..... CAUSE THEY HAVE NOT TOLD ME ANYTHING YET ABOUT EVERYTHING WRITTEN ON THE WEB. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE EXCESSIVELY AND LOSE POWER ABNORMALLY WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF EVERY WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST CONCLUDING THAT THE PCM HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ON A LATER DATE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE 15 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED AN UNUSUAL BURNING OR SMOKE ODOR AS THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PCM FAILED A SECOND TIME AND BLOWN A FUSE. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE CONTACT HAD ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR TWO DAYS HE WANTED A REPLACEMENT BUT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 184 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 172.

2010 JEEP JK WRANGLER TRANSMISSION OIL OVERHEATS WHEN VEHICLE IS ENGAGED IN 4WD. THIS COULD CAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, PARTICULARLY ON MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN WHERE THE POSSIBILITY OF A FATALITY COULD OCCUR. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A RECALL NOTING THAT THIS CONDITION COULD OCCUR. THE "FIX" IS AN AUDIBLE CHIME IN ADDITION TO THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INSTEAD OF ADDRESSING THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM SUCH AS THE ADDITION OF A LARGER OIL COOLER, OIL PAN WITH LARGER CAPACITY TO KEEP OIL COOLER, OR SOME OTHER REPAIR.*TR

I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP IN FIRST GEAR THE TRANSMISSION WILL POP OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND INTO NEUTRAL LEAVING YOU TO COST UNTIL YOU CAN GET IT BACK INTO GEAR. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY AND WITH NO WARNINGS. AFTER THE FIRST TIME THE FREQUENCY INCREASES UNTIL THE ISSUE IS FIXED. THE PROBLEM CAN BE CORRECTED BY REPLACING THE APPROPRIATE SYNCHRO. WHEN PULLING OUT INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

MY VEHICLE POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY OF 2010. ON-LINE RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND WILL NOT BE ADDRESSED BY THE DEALERSHIP UNLESS IT CAN BE REPRODUCED WHILE THEY ARE IN THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND CAN RESULT IN BEING REAR ENDED BY AND UNSUSPECTING DRIVER OR BEING STRANDED IN A LANE CROSSING TRAFFIC WITHOUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY HAD TO UPGRADE THE VEHICLE EVERY TWO YEARS SINCE 2004. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY HAD THE 2004, 2006, 2008 AND NOW 2010 MODELS AND ALL HAD AN ISSUE WITH A DEFECTIVE HORN. THE DEALER INSTALLED AN AUXILIARY HORN AND A RELAY HARNESS. THE HORN AND HORN BUTTON WERE REPLACED AS WELL BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. A MECHANIC STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE HORN WAS RUN THROUGH THE RADIO WHICH CAUSED AN ELECTRICAL WIRING PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 33,000.

I HAVE A 2010 SPORT WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4DR, AT APPROX 3800 MILES THE CAR WENT DEAD ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX 60MPH. ALL THE INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE STEERING AND BRAKES WERE HARD TO CONTROL. MOMENTARILY THE CAR RESUMED AND WENT BACK TO DEALER. HAVE MAINTENANCE SLIPS AND INITIAL COMPLAINT. SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED AT APPROX 4700 MILES WENT BACK TO SAME DEALER. CHECKED ONLINE WITH CHRYSLER ALTHOUGH THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION COIL. IT HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED AND I DON'T BELIEVE IT WILL BE RESOLVED AT THE DEALER LEVEL. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 JEEP RUBICON IN NOV 2009, RETURNED TO THE DEALER WITHIN 60 DAYS AND STATED TO THE DEALER THAT FIRST AND SECOND GEARS HAD CONTINUALLY "POPPED OUT" WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE FROM A STAND STILL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED AND THAT I "NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL IN MY SHIFTING". I HAVE HAD MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS IN ALL MY CARS SINCE I WAS 16. I KNOW HOW TO DRIVE THEM, I HAVE ALSO HAD TWO PREVIOUS JEEP WRANGLERS AND BOTH WERE MANUALS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO "POPPING" ISSUES. I HAVE TAKEN THIS ISSUE UP WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND TIME AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING AGAIN. TOMORROW IT IS GOING IN FOR THE THIRD TIME FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS "POPPING" OCCURS ON AVERAGE OF ABOUT 4/5 TIMES A WEEK. I HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IN INTERSECTIONS, ON RAMPS, UP HILLS, (VERY SCARY IF SOMEONE IS BEHIND YOU) AND NUMEROUS OTHER SITUATIONS WHERE SAFETY HAS BEEN JEOPARDIZED AND A SERIOUS ACCIDENT NARROWLY AVOIDED. MY WIFE ALSO DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND HAD TO SEE A DOCTOR FOR A HYPER EXTENDED FINGER WHEN THE SHIFTER KICKED BACK AND CAUGHT HER UN AWARE. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED, RECALLED, SOMETHING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER LIMITED. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH THE CONTACT SMELLED SMOKE IN THE VEHICLE, PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY AND STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. A POLICE OFFICER ARRIVED BUT DID NOT FILE A REPORT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ALSO DID NOT FILE A REPORT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY PERFORMED AN INVESTIGATION AND DENIED THE CLAIM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.
