2011 Jeep Wrangler complaints

DEATH WOBBLE. ANY TIME A BUMP IS HIT WITH THE JEEP ABOVE 35MPH, IT GOES INTO THE DEATH WOBBLE, WHICH DOESN'T GO AWAY UNTIL THE CAR IS STOPPED. I'VE TRIED FIXING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE, BUT IT STILL HAPPENS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT IT CERTAINLY SEEMS LIFE-THREATENING, AS THE JEEP FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BREAK INTO PIECES!

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON TODAY 4:10PM 06/18/16 WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 55MPH IN TRAFFIC, STRAIGHT INTERSTATE IN CHICAGO, IL AND HAS STAYED ON. STOPPED BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP TO CHECK CODES (I WAS AWAY FROM HOME DEALERSHIP), SERVICE DEPT WAS CLOSING BUT SVC MGR SCANNED FOR DIAGNOSTIC CODE - SAID IT WAS AN AIRBAG CODE/ AIRBAG MALFUNCTION. MY DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED. HE TURNED OFF JEEP AND TURNED IT ON AGAIN WHILE STATIONARY IN JEEP DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT, WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND STAYED ON ALL THE WAY HOME, APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 HRS OR 150 MILES. I RECEIVED 2 EMAILS ON MAY 27, 2016 FROM NHTSA RE: AIRBAG RECALLS ON JEEP WRANGLERS BUT MY VIN/MODEL WASN'T LISTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE, THE TIRES SEIZED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STOP INDEPENDENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE ONCE SHIFTED INTO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH FORCE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN AND THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR FAILED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

THE FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. IT SPILL FUEL EVERYWHERE.

FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATE ON MY DASH. I DO NOT KNOW WHY THIS IS. IT TURNS ON/OFF RANDOMLY WETHER SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT. ADDITIONALLY FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS OR SO THE FUNCTIONS/BUTTONS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL GO IN/OUT OF FUNCTION. FOR THE MOST PART THEY DON'T WORK 99% OF THE TIME. IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE DRIVING OR ANYTHING DANGEROUS BUT IT IS ANNOYING THAT THESE BUTTONS DON'T WORK MOST OF THE TIME. AS FAR AS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT, THIS CONCERNS ME SHOULD THERE BE SOME SORT OF ACCIDENT. I HAVE LOOKED INTO THIS AND PEOPLE HAVE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY AND THE LIGHT STILL IS ON. I SAW THAT IN JUNE, 2015 AND INVESTIGATION WAS STARTED REGARDING THIS AND WANTED TO PUT IN MY TWO CENTS. I HOPE THAT A SOLUTION IS FOUND FOR THIS.

CLOCK SPRING FAILED CAUSING THE AIRBAG TO STOP FUNCTIONING. THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED IN THE 2011 RIGHT HAND STEER VEHICLES AND IN THE 2008-2010 MODEL YEAR LEFT AND RIGHT HAND STEER WRANGLERS APPARENTLY IT IS STILL A PROBLEM

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2011 JEEP RUBICON. A RECALL WAS ISSUED TWO DAYS AFTER I CALLED BOTH CHRYSLER AND BY DEALERSHIP COMPLAINING ABOUT MY ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS BASICALLY ON MY OWN TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT CLOCKSPRING. RECALL INFORMATION "(FCA US LLC) IS RECALLING 394,258 MODEL YEAR 2007-2010 JEEP WRANGLER JK VEHICLES MANUFACTURED MARCH 2, 2006, TO AUGUST 13, 2010." THIS DOES NOT COVER MY 2011 JEEP WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED SEPTEMBER 2010. A MONTH FROM THE CUT OFF DATE. MY JEEP HAS THE SAME ENGINE AS THE THE 2010S UNLIKE THE LATER BUILD 2011 JEEPS. IT ALSO HAS THE SAME EXACT CLOCKSPRING AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED SPORADICALLY AND CHIMED. THE CHIME INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE DEPLOYED; HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAGS CLOCK SPRING FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V176000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT BECAUSE THE RECALL INDICATED A RIGHT-HAND DRIVE AND THE CONTACT HAD A LEFT-HAND DRIVE, THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,454.

THE CLOCKSPRING ON MY 2011 JEEP WRANGLER (LEFT HANDED DRIVE) HAS FAILED CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO BECOME DYSFUNCTIONAL AND AIRBAG LIGHT TO ENGAGE. FCA HAS RECALLED RIGHT HANDED DRIVE JEEP WRANGLERS 2007-2012 UNDER THE ATTACHED RECALL NOTIFICATION. FCA HAS ALSO RECALLED 2007 LHD JEEP WRANGLERS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THESE RECALLS WAS DETERMINED TO BE DUST ACCUMULATION IN THE GREASE OF THE CLOCKSPRING AS SEEN IN THE ATTACHED RECALL NOTIFICATION. THE CLOCKSPRING PART IN BOTH LHD AND RHD VARIATIONS OF THIS MODEL JEEP WRANGLER INCLUDE A SIMILAR, IF NOT THE SAME, CLOCKSPRING PART. THE AMOUNT OF DUST THAT A JEEP WRANGLER IS SUBJECT TO DOES NOT CORRELATE TO THE POSITION OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND CLOCKSPRING. I WOULD SUSPECT THAT A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAT 70,000 MILES AND 5 YEARS OF USE SHOULD NOT HAVE AIRBAG FAILURE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP WHICH THEN INSTRUCTED ME TO CONTACT THE FCA JEEP WARRANTY/RECALL 800 NUMBER IN ADDITION TO THE FCA HEADQUARTER'S 800 NUMBER. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AT THE FCA HEADQUARTERS HOTLINE I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY LHD 2011 JEEP WRANGLER AND THE REPAIR WAS TO BE MADE FROM OUT OF MY POCKET. AS OF JUNE 2015 THERE HAS BEEN AN OPEN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS ISSUE FOR LHD JEEP WRANGLERS AS SEEN IN THE LINK BELOW.

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSING ACCIDENT AND RISK OF LIFE !

AIR BAG LIGHT GOING ON AND OFF EVER 2-4 MINUTES WITH A CHIME EACH TIME. LIGHT GOES ON AND OF WEATHER IN MOTION OR AT A STANDSTILL. HAD MECHANIC SCAN FOR OBD CODES. CODE CAME BACK AS B1B02 CLOCK SPRING FAILURE. RHD JEEPS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT NOT LHD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO ALL WRANGLERS OF THESE YEARS AND NOT JUST THE RHD.

THE VEHICLE DISPLAYS AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND CHIME THAT MAY INDICATE A FAILURE OF THE CLOCKSPRING WIRING IN THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG CIRCUIT. ODI INVESTIGATED THE RHD (RIGHT HAND DRIVE) WRANGLER FOR A CLOCKSPRING ISSUE UNDER PE11-019 WHICH LED TO NHTSA RECALL 11V258 ON MODEL YEAR (MY) 2008-2012 RHD WRANGLERS AS WELL AS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY CAMPAIGN ON MY 2007 LHD WRANGLER VEHICLES. CURRENT INVESTIGATION: PE 15-025 HAS THE SAME SYMPTOM AS MY LHD WRANGLER.

THE ENGINE CUNSUMES OIL AT A VERY HIGH RATE! TOLD 1 QUART EVERY 1,000 BY THE DEALERSHIP! IN AUGUST 2013 WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY I HAD A ROD BARING SNAP AND SHOOT METAL CHIPS INTO THE OIL PAN AT 52,000, THE WHOLE ENGINE LOCKED UP AND NEEDED REPLACED. ON MAY 7TH 2016, AGAIN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 56,000 MILES ON THE NEW ENGINE, SAME EXACT THING ROD BARING SNAPPED, METAL HIPS INTO THE OIL PAN, ENGINE LOCKED UP AND NEEDED REPLACE! THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE OIL PAN AND I WAS TOLD THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO NEGLECT ON MY PART! I ALWAYS HAS THE OIL CHANGED BETWEEN 3,000-5,000 MILES.. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN TOTALLY RECALLED!!

ON MY 2011 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 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. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2008-2012 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."

"TAKATA RECALL" RECENTLY, ON A DRY, SUNNY, MODERATELY WARM DAY I WAS DRIVING A NORMAL SPEED ON A NORMAL ROAD, DOWNWARD SLOPING, AT A LOW SPEED AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CHIMED AND ILLUMINATED. IT'S BEEN FOUR DAYS AND THE LIGHT REMAINS ON, AND CONTINUES TO CHIME. I HAVE OWNED THIS JEEP FOR TWO YEARS AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY COLLISIONS AND THE JEEP HAS NOT BEEN OFFROAD, NOR DID I HAVE A CHILD IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, WHERE AN AIRBAG MAY SENSE A SMALL PASSENGER. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FROM WHAT I'M FINDING ON FORUMS BUT ALSO A SAFETY DEVICE IN A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY BEYOND A STANDARD 3YR/36K WARRANTY. SEATBELTS DON'T EXPIRE NOR SHOULD AN AIRBAG IN A VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY FAILED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MAUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,800.

VERY BAD WOBBLE IN FRONT END ....HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED , BUT THE FASTER YOU GO THE WORSE IT GETS (JEEP DEATH WOBBLE) ....DEALER SAID IT IS THE TIRES ....BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CHANGE MY TIRES EVERY 6 MONTHS .......I HAVE HAD CLOSE CALLS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTS JEEP IS A 2011 I HAVE HAD IT FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS ....HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER FOR THIS MORE TIMES THAN I CAN REMEMBER.

NEARLY EVERY TIME I REFUEL MY JK, WITHIN ONE SECOND OF SHUTTING OFF THE FUEL NOZZLE, APPROXIMATELY 3-8OUNCES OF GAS IS FORCEFULLY EXPELLED FROM THE FUEL INLET ON THE JEEP. SEVERAL HUNDRED JK OWNERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR JKS ON A NUMBER OF INTERNET FORA ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE SEVERAL YOU TUBE VIDEOS DOCUMENTING THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM SPANS ALL MODEL YEARS OF THE JK, BOTH TWO AND FOUR DOOR. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. I'VE REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO JEEP AND THEY CLAIM IT'S NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY SINCE NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT I FIND THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND A POTENTIAL HAZARD.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, EST AND ESP LIGHTS TURNED ON. EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2013 MY AIRBAG LIGHT SIGNALS OFF AND ON. DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS SITE UNTIL NOW, I AM CONCERNED IT WAS NEVER TAKEN IN FOR REPAIRS ON KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE AIR BAG. MAYBE IT WAS SEEN TO THOUGH AND THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE SIMILAR TO THE EST AND ESP.

CLOCK SPRING IS DEFECTIVE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND WARNING CHIME COMES ON AND GOES OFF. THE SAME PART NUMBER WAS RECALLED ON ALL 2007 WRANGLERS AND 2008-2012 RIGHT HAND WRANGLERS. HOWEVER, THE 2008-2012 LEFT HAND JEEPS WEREN'T INCLUDED?

WHEN YOU FILL THE VEHICLE, AT TIME OF AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF AT PUMP, FUEL SPURTS OUT OF FILL. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CONDITION BUT CONTINUOUS.

THE DEALER HAVE FAILURE TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ROOF LEAKED INTO THE VEHICLE, WHICH CREATED ELECTRICAL FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE STEREO. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000. UPDATED 05/24/16*LJ UPDATED 6/6/18*JB

TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY OVER 45MPR, OVER MINOR BUMPY ENTRANCE TO OVERPASS, MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCES THE KNOWN "DEATH WOBBLE". NBC NEWS I-TEAM REPORTED ON THIS VERY SAME JEEP MANUFACTURING ISSUE. MY RUBICON IMMEDIATELY BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 15 MPR. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. NOW, IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME IN THE SAME AREA. THE ROAD IS STRAIGHT, NO TURNS AND THE "BUMPS" ARE NOT POT-HOLES. I HAVE TO HANG ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL VERY TIGHT AND PRAY NO CAR IS NEXT TO ME. MY TIRES ARE ALIGNED AND I HAVE THEM INSPECTED REGULARLY. MY DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A "COUPLE OF ROADS BY THE DEALERSHIP THEY TEST DRIVE THEIR CHRYSLER & JEEP VEHICLES WITH THAT PROBLEM BECAUSE IT ALWAYS HAPPENS." TODAY WAS THE LATEST EVENT AND I CONTACTED MY JEEP DEALERSHIP.

WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK, PUMP CLICKS OFF AND THEN FUEL SPILLS OUT. THIS OCCURS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS.

GASOLINE OVERFLOWS THE TANK WHEN FILLING AT EVERY FILLUP, REGARDLESS OF FILLING STATION BRAND NAME, TIME OF YEAR OR FILLING WITH THE NOZZLE HANDLE HELD BY HAND OR USING THE AUTO FILL MODE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS TO BECOME ILLUMINATED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LOWER BACK AND NECK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CRASH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED FUNCTIONING, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE IDLING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AFTER FIVE MINUTES. THE FAILURE HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM MODULE MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000. UPDATED 04/22/2016*LJ

AFTER MY HORN STARTED GOING ON AND OFF ON ITS OWN, I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS TYPICALLY RELATED TO THE TIPM PROBLEM. CONTACTED MY DEALER, AND THEY QUOTED ME $1200 TO REPAIR. ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE 08 MODELS AND THAT THE PART NUMBERS ARE THE SAME, BUT FOR SOME REASON CHRYSLER STOPPED THE RECALL AFTER THE 08 MODELS. MY JEEP HAS ABOUT 71,000 MILES ON IT, WHICH IS BASICALLY NOTHING. AGGRAVATED TO BEYOND BELIEF

I HAVE A BAD CLOCKSPRING WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED ON RIGHT HANDED WRANGLERS FOR THE SAME YEAR BUT HAS NOT YET FOR THE LEFT HANDED WRANGLERS AND IT IS CAUSING MY AIRBAG LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE WHILE I AM DRIVING AND WHILE I AM STAYING STILL AND COULD AFFECT MY AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING WHEN NEEDED.

FUEL OVERFILL SHUT OFF NOT WORKING RESULTING IN LARGE SPRAY OF FUEL.

I HAVE UPLOADED A PDF DOCUMENT THAT EXPLAINS MY PROBLEM. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM THEIR TANK DURING THE REFUELING PROCESS. THE FUEL SYSTEM DOES NOT SEEM TO RESPOND TO THE SHUT-OFF MECHANISM, WHICH MEANS GAS SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND, THE CAR AND EVEN THE OWNER. THIS ISN'T A SIMPLE LITTLE FUEL LEAK EITHER, THIS IS MORE LIKE A FUEL GEYSER.

MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 2016 4:21 PM TRANSMISSION FIRE. 2011 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON WITH 81K MILES ALL MAINTENANCE. NO MODIFICATIONS AND NO OFF ROADING. LOST POWER ON AN INCLINED ROAD. THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF AFTER ALL THE PANELS WENT CRAZY AND THEN BLACK SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT OF THE HOOD AREA. ONLY THING THAT KEPT MY CAR FROM GOING UP IN FLAMES WAS IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN AND I WAS ON AN INCLINE. THE 100000 MILE / 5 YEAR POWER TRAN WARRANTY ENDED THE DAY BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS AN ENGINE FIRE DO TO THE RAIN AND ALL THE BLACK SMOKE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NO HELP AND BOTH DID NOT EVEN MENTION FIRE UNTIL I DID FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND HAD A PRIVATE MECHANIC LOOK AT IT. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF WAITING ON AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER TO COMPLETE THEIR INVESTIGATION.

CONTINUING FAILURE OF ELECTRIC CLOCK SPRING/ CRUISE / HORN SYSTEMS. IT HAS BEEN TO DEALER 4 TIMES AND "FIXED" AND THEN RE-FAILS WITHIN A SHORT AMOUNT OF MILES. 6314, 9057, 10730, 18456 AND IS CURRENTLY FAILING AGAIN(22000). BACK TO DEALER AS SOON AS I CAN SCHEDULE. I WILL FIRST NOTICE THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT TURN ON AND SOME TIMES THE HORN WILL NOT WORK. HOWEVER SOMETIMES IF I CAN HONK THE HORN AND THEN THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL START WORKING AGAIN; MAYBE FOR A FEW 100'S OF A FEW 1,000 MILES. I AM WORRY ABOUT THE POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE AIR BAG IF THIS KEEPS UP. PLEASE ADVICE. MY DEALER KEEPS TRYING, BUT JEEP NEED TO RESOLVE! THANKS. I WILL UPLOAD COPIES OF MY PRIOR 4 SERVICE DOCUMENTS.

6/9/15 HAD TIRES REPLACED & ALIGNED MERCHANT'S TIRE. 1 DAY LATER TIRE WOBBLING TOOK IT BACK, THEY CLAIMED THEY COULDN'T ASSIST. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP & BALANCE IT 3 TIMES IN 2 WEEKS. NOTICED WHILE DRIVING, COMMUTERS STAY ABOUT A HALF A MILE AWAY FROM ME & FLASH LIGHTS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MARLOW HTS, THEY CLAIM THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. TIRE STILL WOBBLING TOOK IT TO WAL MART AUTO, WHILE TRYING TO CHECK, THEY BROKE MY WHEEL LOCK! LOOKING FOR A TRUSTWORTHY PLACE TO FIX MY VEHICLE. NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO WORK THESE DAYS. A FRIEND JUST SENT THIS SITE & I LEARNED OF THIS DEATH WOBBLE THING IN JEEP WRANGLERS. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR 7 MONTHS NOW AND I'M LIVID!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS FUEL LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE HAD GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORST OVER TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

I WENT FOR BRAKES PRIOR TO 30,000. VEHICLE HAD 25,000 MILES AND THE ROTOR COULD NOT BE CUT... IT ROTTED THROUGH. I HAD TO REPLACE 1 ROTOR ALL OTHERS WERE FINE. COULD HAVE POSSIBLY AFFECTED MANY OTHER VEHICLES.

RE: NHTSA RECALL #14V-631, MY MIRRORS, AND THE DEFROSTING ON THEM AS WELL AS MY REAR WINDOW WORKED FINE BUT I RECEIVED 2 OR 3 RECALL NOTICES IN THE MAIL EARLY 2015. I TOOK MY RUBICON (WRANGLER) INTO A DEALERSHIP, HAWK JEEP IN FOREST PARK, IL (CHICAGO) FOR THE SAFETY RECALL REPAIR. THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO USE THE DEFROSTERS AFTER THE REPAIR WAS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WHEN IT SNOWED - NOTHING WORKS! I USED TO SEE THE ICE/FOG DEFROSTING WITHING 10-15 SECONDS. SINCE THEY DID WHAT THEY DID, THE SIDE MIRROR DEFROSTERS DID NOT WORK NOR DOES MY REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. THE DEALERSHIP OBVIOUSLY DID SOME ADDITIONAL DAMAGE THAT MAY PUT ME AND MY CHILDREN AT RISK OF FIRE OR WORSE. I HAD NO VISIBILITY DRIVING AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO PULL OFF ON AN EXIT TO A GAS STATION TO CLEAR MY REAR WINDOW AND SPRAY DEFROSTER ON MY OUTSIDE MIRRORS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING AND AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE ROUTER AND BRAKE CALIPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPRINGS WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000.

PURCHASED THE VECHICLE NEW, WITHIN 2500 MILES VECHICLE LEAKED WITH OVER 1INCH OF WATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD, THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEALS MOVE FORWARD 40K MILES DRIVE SIDE DOES THE SAME, REPLACED THE SEALS. AS SOON AS THE SEALS HAVE WERE REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE CENTER SEAM OF THE FREEDOM PANEL STARTED LEAKING. MY VECHICLE HAS MOOD AND MILD ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF THE ROOF AND UNDER THE SEATS. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE VERY FIRST FIX WAS AN OBSOLETE FIX AND THEY HAVE COME OUT WITH A BETTER SEAL KIT BUT IT WOULD BE AT MY COST TO REPLACE. MY VECHICLE IS NOW JUST OVER 70K MILES AND HAS NEVER BEEN DRY SINCE WE BOUGHT IT NEW. NOT TO MENTION I'VE GONE THROUGH THREE STEREOS DUE TO THE LEAK AND SHORTING OUT AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 02/19/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED 2 CABLES NEEDED TO BE FIXED ON THE EBRAKE AND THE CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PARTS. *TR

DRIVING ALONG ABOUT 75MPH ON I-26. ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE LIGHTS INSIDE FLASHED AND THEN WHEN DARK. JEEP SHUT DOWN AND WENT DEAD. COASTED TO SHOULDER. SHUT OFF IGNITION AND REMOVE THE KEY. INSERTED KEY AND STARTED JEEP. ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER, I PULLED OVER AT A REST AREA, SHUT OF THE JEEP, AND WENT TO USE THE REST ROOM. WHEN I RETURNED THE JEEP WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE FOB TO UNLOCK THE DOORS, I USED THE KEY IN THE MANUAL LOCK. JEEP WOULD NOT START. I DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS, AND RE INSTALLED. JEEP STARTED AND EVEN 2 DAYS LATER NO RETURN OF SYMPTOMS.

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER THAT IS EXPERIENCING SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES. CURRENTLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND THERE IS A CHIME INDICATING SUCH. THIS CHIME OCCURS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 1 TO 2 MINUTES. AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHT PROBLEM OCCURRED, THE OTHER CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL SUCH AS THE HORN, CRUISE CONTROL AND RADIO CONTROLS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. I CONTACTED JEEP (CHRYSLER) ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WITHIN 24-48 HOURS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. APPROXIMATELY 10 DAYS WENT BY AND I HAD NOT HEARD BACK FROM JEEP. I CONTACTED JEEP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THE SAFETY CONCERNS WITH NOT HAVING A WORKING HORN AND A QUESTIONABLE AIRBAG. THIS DID NOT SEEM TO BE AN ISSUE THAT THEY WERE TO CONCERNED ABOUT. I'VE BEEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, AND I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A FUNCTIONING AIRBAG. THIS IS COMING FROM SOME OF THE ACCIDENTS THAT I HAVE EITHER WITNESSED OR WORKED AS AN INVESTIGATING OFFICER. I HAVE FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH THAT SEVERAL EARLIER MODEL (2007-2008) JEEP WRANGLERS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND I AM SURE YOU HAVE RECEIVED COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE IN THE PAST. THIS IS MY SECOND JEEP AND THE COMPANY REPLACED THE PART THAT WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE BEFORE. IT WAS A 2007. THIS PART IS REFERRED TO AS A CLOCK SPRING AND COST OVER $500.00 TO REPLACE. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEO

TWICE IN LAST 2YRS MY STANDARD WRANGLER HAS REFUSED TO SHIFT INTO GEER AND MADE A WINDING NOISE.. THEN STALLED AND REFUSED TO START FOR UPTO 10 MIN. IT HAPPEND LAST FAL WITH APPROX 2900 MILES ON IT THEN AGAIN A FEW DAYS AGO WITH 4800 MILES... NOT SURE WHY OR WHAT IS CAUSE NOTHING IS WRONG ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP GARAGE. ALSO HITTING ANY LITTLE BUMP FOR THE LAST 30000 MILES HAS MADE JEEP JUMP LIKE THE REAREND IS FLOPPING TO ONE SIDE ALSO HARD BREAKING CAUSES SAME ISSUE.. ALL SUSPENSION PARTS ARE EITHER NEW OR NEWER.. LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE TRIED TO FIX THAT ISSUE AND FAILED... I AM AFRAID THESE ISSUES WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

REALLY ANNOYING AND VERY DANGEROUS!! EACH TIME WE FILL UP OUR 2011 JEEP WRANGLER WITH FUEL, JUST AS THE PUMPS AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF CLICKS, FUEL WILL BLOW OUT AND ALL OVER WHOEVER IS HOLDING THE PUMP HANDLE. THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN, EXCEPT FOR THE CLICK FROM THE PUMP HANDLE A SPLIT SECOND BEFORE YOU GET DOUSED. WE CHECKED WITH OUR JEEP DEALER TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL, AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOT, HOWEVER IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE "INLET CHECK VALVE"; A MECHANICAL ITEM THAT APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE, AND A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN, BUT IS SOMEHOW NOT UNDER WARRANTEE. WE WENT ON-LINE TO RESEARCH AND FOUND SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES, INCLUDING 2007-2009 JEEP WRANGLERS. REALLY AGGRAVATING TO FIND OUT THERE HAD BEEN PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, CHRYSLER KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, BUT BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2011 YEAR, IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED A REAL CONCERN

MY JEEP WRANGLER 2011 SPIT BACK EVERY TIME ME OR MY WIFE REFUEL THE VEHICLE GETTING GAS OVER ME AND THE FLOOR .IF WE PARK THE VEHICLE INSIDE THE GARAGE THE ODOR OF GAS IS VERY STRONG WE DECIDE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE OUT SIDE . I CALL THE AUTHORIZED DEALER THEY TELL ME THAT ARE NOT ANY RECALLS REGARDING THE FUEL SYSTEM,. THE MAIN CONCERN OF THIS SITUATION ARE IF THAT SITUATION CAN INITIATE A FIRE OR THE FUMES CAN BE A HAZARD FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY .

TOOK 2011 JEEP JK TO CAR WASH. AFTERWARDS "SWAY" BAR LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH. SHUT CAR OFF, RESTARTED AND RAN THROUGH DISCONNECT PROCEDURES- PUT TRANS/DIFF IN NEUTRAL AND HIT DISCONNECT BUTTON- LIGHT WENT OFF. WHILE DRIVING JEEP TO WORK NEXT MORNING, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD FLASHED AND CAR SHUT OFF. JEEP WOULD NOT START. TIPM WAS FRIED WITH DISCONNECT MOTOR. WATER HAD GOT INTO CONNECTION BY SWAY BAR DISCONNECT MOTOR. THEY ARE NOT WATER TIGHT. HAVE READ OTHER STORIES OF HAPPENING DURING RAIN STORMS.
