When refueling and the pump shuts off, fuel with then leak back our and will run down the side of the jeep onto the ground. This is a large fire hazard, and there was previously a recall for 2007 and 2008 for this. The dealership states that they have never heard of this, and will not look at it without a full workup and paying up front. This issue is not safe, and I am thinking about getting rid of the vehicle completely due to this. There are are only 77,000 miles on this now so it isn't like I abuse the vehicle

As you were fueling the vehicle it will spit fuel back at you and poor fuel all over the ground and me, many people have this problem there is a recall from 2007 to 2008 but not 2009 through 2010 even though they have the same exact very dangerous issue
Feb 18, 2025
Upon fueling the vehicle and the fueling process stops, the Jeep spits back about 1/2 gallon of fuel, all over the vehicle, the ground and the fuel station.

Plastic rollover valve on gas tank dry out cracked which is modeled to tank can not be replaced which means you have to replace the gastank for what looks like a 5 dollar part. Will not past smog because of this issue.
Feb 21, 2024
The design of the fuel tank installed in the 2010 Jeep Wrangler is faulty, The plastic utilized in the manufacture of the gasoline and evaporation fittings is of an inferior material and it can not withstand heat and low humidity. The plastic tends to dry out, crack and crumble, creating fuel and vapor leaks, which could result in a fire or explosion. I have had to replace the gas tank on my 2010 Wrangler in July 2017, at odometer reading 94944 and again in January 2023 with an odometer reading of 161599.

In March 2015 the BAS ESP (traction control and stability light)warning light came on. It stayed on for several miles and then went off. This happened numerous times. On April 23, 2025 Parker Automotive Service Center removed the steering wheel and replaced the Clockspring. In May the BAS ESP again came on, Parker Automotive recalibrated the Clockspring which has the steering angle sensory built in. In Aug 2025 the BAS ESP light again came on and on August 14, 2025 Parker Automotive replaced the Clockspring under warranty. In September 2025 the BAS ESP came on again. On October 2 2025 Parker Automotive found a Safety recall M31/NHTSA 13V-176 Airbag System Clockspring and advised me to go to the Jeep dealer. Which I did and was told my vehicle was not among the recalled ones. Research shows that m31/NHTSA was replaced by S40/NHTSA. My records show that I “paid” Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Tucson to replace the Clockspring-steering column controls ten years ago on October 22, 2015. It is concerning that when the BAS ESP warning light is on the airbag will not deploy. Does the recall need to be expanded to include additional vehicles? The Clockspring in my vehicle has been replaced now 3 times.
Oct 15, 2025
Jeep Wrangler JK is required to replace clockspring due to dust that could compromise airbag circut causing potential non-deployment of the driver airbag. Currently, the jeep is available for inspection. Non deployment of the airbag can cause bodily harm or life threating injuries that put at risk driver and others. Jeep owner bring multiple times the vehicle to the dealership but they didn't have part available and never is been fixed. The vehicle has been inspected from multiple technicians at differents dealership. Airbag warning is showing in the dashboard of the vehicle since 2016.
Oct 07, 2023
This vehicle was recalled in 2016 for defective airbag clock spring replacement and I had the recall work done in early 2017. In June of 2021, the airbag warning lamp came on and a scan showed that the airbag clock spring (which had been replaced under the recall in 2017) was defective. I took the vehicle to the local Jeep/Chrysler dealer and was told that they only warranty recall related parts for 2 years, which had already expired, and that I was responsible for FULL payment to get the clock spring replaced. It is incomprehensible to me that an official NHTSA recall that resulted in replacing a supposedly defective part with another part that proved defective would not be covered by the original recall at Jeep/Chryslers expense. Serious injury or death could occur to myself and other passengers if the airbags are not properly deployed in a collision. An additional recall should be issued for owners of all Jeep vehicles that had a defective part replaced with another defective part.

PROBLEM IS GAS SPILLING FROM MY JEEP EVERY TIME DURING FUELING. SOMEHOW, IT IS NOT TRIGGERING THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF VALVE CAUSING FUEL GASHING EVERYWHERE. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND IT ONLY STARTED LAST MONTH. I DID NOT ALTER ANYTHING ON MY VEHICLE AND NO ACCIDENTS OF ANY TYPE. I'M NOT SURE WHERE THE PROBLEM IS BUT WHAT I KNOW IS THAT THIS FAILURE COULD BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM IF NOT RESOLVED. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA. MY WRANGLER AS A DEFECT ON THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO VIOLENTLY POP OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE (EVERY SINGLE TIME). LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE, I HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS VERY COMMON WITH THE 2010 MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ISSUED REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION- EVEN THOUGH IT CAN BE DANGEROUS. BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, I HAVE TO START MY JEEP IN SECOND GEAR CAUSING EXTRA WEAR AND TEAR ON MY CLUTCH. ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, IN ORDER TO FIX THE ISSUE, I WILL HAVE TO EITHER COMPLETELY REBUILD MY TRANSMISSION OR GET A NEW ONE (IN THE TSB THAT CHRYSLER PUT OUT REGARDING THE ISSUE, ONLY THE 1-2 SYNCHRONIZER ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE.) IT IS ABSURD THAT CHRYSLER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE, YET A RECALL HAS STILL NOT BEEN ISSUED.

JEEP WILL NOT HOLD FIRST GEAR IN. EVERY TIME IT IS PUT INTO FIRST GEAR, THE SHIFTER IS KICKED OUT. THE CLUTCH WAS PUSHED IN COMPLETELY WHEN PUT INTO GEAR AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. THE ISSUE USUALLY HAPPENS AT ABOUT 5 MPH AND BELOW AND SOMETIMES WHEN COMPLETELY STOPPED. THIS ISSUE HAS NEARLY CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE INABILITY TO BE ABLE ACCELERATE AS NEEDED. ONE OF THE "SOLUTIONS" IS TO USE SECOND GEAR TO TAKE OFF AND COMPLETELY BYPASS THE FIRST GEAR WHICH WILL SPEED UP THE WEAR ON THE CLUTCH CAUSING PREMATURE REPLACEMENT.

SPORATIC UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING WHILE DRIVING. ONLY STOPS WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 20MPH. I GOOGLED IT AND IT'S KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND IS VERY PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT NEEDS NEW STEERING STABILIZER. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.
Feb 22, 2018
I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE AND WAS DRIVING ON A PAVED CITY STREET WITH NO POTHOLES, SPEED-BUMPS, OR OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS. AS I MADE A LEFT TURN INTO OUR DRIVEWAY I HEARD A NOISE AND THEN SUDDENLY THE JEEP TURNED HARD RIGHT AND I HIT ANOTHER CARE PARKED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF OUR DRIVEWAY. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING. UPON INSPECTION, I NOTICED THAT THE STUD COMING FROM THE STEERING GEAR BOX HAD SHEARED IN HALF BETWEEN THE STEERING GEAR BOX AND THE PITMAN ARM. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I DID THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. ALSO, THIS JEEP HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID I NEED TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE.

Track bar bracket broke off at 65 mph due to violent steering death wobble. I had no steering when track bar bracket welds broke off axle. No Sterring. Yes, independent. Had to have vehicle toed on flatbed. Yes, Insurance said they will not cover catastrophic failure of the steering or the damage. No warnings other than dramatic front-end vibration that broke off the metal bracket.

I HAVE WHAT IS KNOWN AS A 'DEATH WOBBLE' AT ANY TIME MY JEEP GOES INTO A SEVERE WOBBLE OF THE FRONT AXLE AND STEERING. I WAS IN 3RD GEAR GOING 30 MPH SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP SIGN, WHEN THE JEEP WENT INTO THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. IT IS SO SEVERE IT FEELS LIKE THE FRONT END IS GOING TO BREAK APART. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS AND PUT THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME NOT TO EVER PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE, BECAUSE THAT CAN CAUSE EVEN MORE DAMAGE. MY MECHANIC AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY JEEP DOESN'T WANT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE OF SAFETY. JEEP JUST TOLD ME THAT YES THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS COMPLAINT BUT THEY USUALLY KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. BUT IT WILL COST ME A LOT OF MONEY. I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE AS WHAT IT TRULY IS "A SAFETY ISSUE"

WHEN REACHING SPEEDS OF 45MPH AND ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. WHEN THIS STARTED, A MECHANIC SAW NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT FOR A WORN OUT STEERING STABILIZER, SO HE REPLACED IT. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, BUT NOW IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN ROAD WHEN TRAVELING ABOVE 50MPH. I TOOK IT TO A SECOND MECHANIC AND HE INSTALLED AN AFTERMARKET TRACK BAR AND BALANCED THE WHEELS. THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON OCCURRENCE WITH JEEPS, YET THE MANUFACTURER HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. MY VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOCK, EXCEPT FOR THE TRACK BAR, AND CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES ON IT.

ABS, Traction Control, & Brake warning lights have come on due to issues with the ABS Sensors. Repairs unavailable due to unavailability of parts.
Jun 26, 2025
The ABS control module is reporting a DTC code C2200 indicating an ABS module internal failure. The instrument panel warning lights for esp, bas, abs and the traction control are all continuously lit. This problem is continuous but has not been confirmed or inspected by a dealer. independent service center, police or insurance representatives. It is, however, a well known issue reported on Jeep owner forums as an ABS Dashboard Christmas Tree. I have not yet had an ABS related accident but it is extremely concerning that there is an internal ABS module failure that could cause an accident. I have attempted to replace the ABS Module, part 68067458AA, but I am told this part is not available due to a hold for engineering review. I was told the engineering review should be completed by March 20 but until then I am unable to obtain a new replacement part.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT APPROX 45MPH IN THE RH LANE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WITH AN ILLUMINATED GREEN RIGHT-TURN ARROW(MY LANE), A VEHICLE IN THE SAME LANE, TRAVELING SAME DIRECTION, SUDDENLY STOPPED AT THE GREEN LIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED HARD PRESSURE TO BRAKE PEDAL, ONLY TO HAVE IT SLAM STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR-BOARD WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKING ACTION. I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY DOWN-SHIFT AND APPLY PARKING BRAKE IN TIME TO AVOID COLLISION WITH STOPPED VEHICLE. I CAREFULLY DROVE VEHICLE TO MY HOME, APPROX 3 MILES FROM INCIDENT INTERSECTION. UPON INSPECTION I NOTED BRAKE MASTER-CYLINDER EMPTY (IT WAS TOPPED-OFF TO "MAX" LINE WHEN CHECKED EVENING PRIOR), AND HYDRAULIC FLUID SPRAYED ALL-AROUND RIGHT (PASSENGER)-SIDE FRONT INNER WHEEL AND PUDDLED/DRIPPING AT BANJO-BOLT. YOU-TUBE RESEARCH FOUND A SIMILAR SITUATION WITH A JEEP 2 MODEL YEARS OLDER THAN MINE. LINK TO VIDEO: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=NVDZJ874XUM&LIST=PLDW3MIE2V4TCRDUUA9D8RBCLQV8QA1MFB&INDEX=2&T=1230S WHEN I REMOVED THE RIGHT BRAKE HOSE ASSEMBLY, THE METAL CRIMP-ON FITTING TO THE FLEX-HOSE WAS COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED BY CORROSION. I REPLACED THE LEFT BRAKE HOSE ASSEMBLY AS WELL, AND FOUND NEARLY AS-SEVERE CORROSION ON THE METAL CRIMP-ON FITTINGS THOUGH NO LEAKAGE HAD OCCURRED FROM THERE DURING THIS INCIDENT. SEE ATTACHMENTS FOR DIGITAL PICS TAKEN THROUGHOUT THE REPAIR PROCESS, AND EXCERPTS FROM THE MAINTENANCE LOGBOOK I MAINTAIN ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE ANOTHER, NEWER (2014) JEEP WRANGLER THAT HAS THE SAME FLEXIBLE BRAKE-HOSE INSTALLATION AT BUILD. I INTEND TO REMOVE/REPLACE THOSE HOSES AT NEXT SCHEDULED INSPECTION, IN APPROX 6-8 WEEKS. I WILL REPORT FINDINGS AND LINK TO THIS REPORT.

ON MY 2010 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 IS HAPPENING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND WHILE IN MOTION EITHER ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY ROADS. THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2010 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."

HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. FOG LIGHTS WORK, BUT HEADLIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THEN RANDOMLY WILL TURN ON. THIS CAN LAST FOR DAYS OR EVEN MONTHS. THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN.

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

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

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

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

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

The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while her son was driving 60 MPH, he experienced what was commonly known as the "death wobble"; where the vehicle would shake uncontrollably without warning until the vehicle slowed down and resumed normal operation. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer where they were initially unable to diagnose the failure. After a technician test drove the vehicle and successfully duplicated the failure, the dealer diagnosed that the steering damper and the driver’s side front wheel bearing needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and denied any knowledge of the "death wobble". The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer and had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

WHEN I REACH ABOUT 45 MPR THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY. TOOK IT SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE IT CORRECTED, BUT THE ISSUE ALWAYS CAME BACK. THEY TOLD ME IT JUST NEEDED A BOLT TIGHTENING. I FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF THIS MODEL HAVE WHAT THEY CALL "DEATH WOBBLE". MY DAUGHTER IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AND IT'S BEEN PARKED IN MY GARAGE EVER SINCE LAST TIME. THE PART IN QUESTION IS IN THE SUSPENSION AND IS CALLED THE STABILIZER OR STEERING DAMPER.

VEHICLE WILL EXPERIENCE UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATION I.E. DEATH WOBBLE WHEN GOING OVER A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE DEATH WOBBLE CAN LAST FROM 20 YARDS TO 100 YARDS DEPENDING ON THE SPEED AND TERRAIN. THIS BEGAN TO HAPPEN ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO AND HAS BEEN MORE FREQUENT RECENTLY OCCURRING ABOUT ONCE PER WEEK. THE DATE BELOW IS THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE.

ON 7/9/16 AND 7/19/16, I WAS DRIVING ON I95 AND MY CAR STARTED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" - UNCONTROLLABLE INTENSE SHAKING THAT I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS, I DISCOVERED RECENTLY, IT IS TO SLOW DOWN TO A STOP, WHICH IS PRETTY DIFFICULT ON A HIGHWAY WITHOUT GETTING REAR ENDED OR INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS APPARENTLY IS COMMON AMONG JEEPS, ESPECIALLY WRANGLERS, BUT IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY CHRYSLER. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS!!

THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGHER RATER OF SPEED (ANYTHING ABOVE 45MPH) AND GOING AROUND A CURVE, THE FRONT END BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE TO THE POINT THAT IT IS DIFFICULT/IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL AND YOU MUST PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AKA THE DEATH WOBBLE. THERE WAS NOT A POT HOLE, OR ANYTHING IN THE WAY, JUST A REGULAR ROAD. I HAVE HAD TO DO THIS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND ON BUSY HIGHWAYS, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND BEING REAR ENDED SINCE I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE TAKE IT IN A NUMBER OF TIMES WITH THIS PROBLEM AND NO SOLUTION IS FOUND, THEY JUST KEEP WANTING TO ROTATE MY TIRES. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER THAT I RUN ON MAIL ROUTES. THE TPMS ALWAYS GOES OFF AND I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX THIS. FOR SAFETY REASONS, I PUT THE SPARE TIRE INSIDE SO I HAVE A BETTER VIEW IN MY REAR WINDOW SO I CAN SEE WHO IS BEHIND ME. I DROVE THE JEEP A FEW MONTHS LIKE THIS AND HAD NO PROBLEM THEN ONE DAY THE TPMS LIGHT AND CHIME GOES OFF EACH TIME I START THE JEEP. THE DEALERSHIP IS GUESSING IT MIGHT BE THE SPARE TIRE THAT IS INSIDE. I EMAILED CHRYSLER A NUMBER OF TIMES TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP EXCUSE IS THE SPARE TIRE IS ON THE INSIDE INSTEAD OF THE OUTSIDE. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET THIS FIXED OR IS THERE NOTHING I CAN DO AT ALL BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO HELP? WOULD THIS NOT BE AGAINST THE LAW IF THIS IS FAULTY AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME IT WOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW TO TURN THE TPMS OFF OR LOWER THE POUNDS PER TIRE?

The muffler heat shield has become detached from all 4 fasteners and drops onto the top of the muffler. When starting the engine could hear a loud metal banging noise from the rear of the vehicle. Where the heat shield attaches to the body on 4 studs and is held in place by 4 zinc plated pal nuts, around the pal nuts the heat shield corrodes and separates from the zinc pal nuts allowing the heat shield to fall onto the muffler. On the Jeep Wrangler forums this is a widely discussed topic happening to many Jeep Wrangler owners from about the 2007 model year to about the 2015 model year. Some have just removed the heat shield by themselves and other have reportedly taken the Jeep Wrangler to Jeep or Chrysler dealerships where they have removed the heat shield. Is there a safety risk?? Not sure, but the manufacture installed the heat shield for a reason. This component, if there for a safety reason, should last almost the life of the vehicle. Only have 48K on the odometer.

THE VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE EFFECTS BOTH HEADLIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS AND WILL STAY OUT FOR SECONDS AND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS REQUIRE SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE COMING BACK ON BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING. I HAD THE SWITCH ON THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED TO THE FUSE BOX.

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.

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 NOT COVERED AND I WOULD NEED BOTH ROTORS REPLACED AT FULL COST. *KB

AFTER DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR APPROX. 40 MILES I ATTEMPTED TO EXIT. I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO START SLOWING DOWN AND PROCEED TO GET INTO THE EXIT LANE. ONCE IN THE EXIT LANE I TRIED TO APPLY MORE BRAKE PRESSURE TO SLOW DOWN FASTER, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL SLOWLY TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I MANAGED TO GET BACK ON TO THE FREEWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT AND ONTO A BREAKDOWN LANE TO SLOW DOWN. I APPLIED MY BRAKES AGAIN, AND AFTER APPLYING A MODERATE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUED TO TRAVEL TO THE FLOOR. USING ONLY MODERATE BRAKE PRESSURE I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN MY VEHICLE AND STOP. ANY MORE THAN MODERATE PRESSURE WOULD CAUSE THE PEDAL TO GO TO THE FLOOR. I CHECKED MY BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, AND IT WAS STILL AT THE MAX LEVEL, SO I PROCEEDED TO PUMP MY BREAKS TO TRY AND LOCATE A LEAK. THERE WERE NO LEAKS AND THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL DID NOT GO DOWN. I SLOWLY CONTINUED HOME KNOWING THAT I HAD LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY. AT HOME I INSPECTED MY VEHICLE AGAIN, AND THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID LOSS. I OPENED THE BRAKE FLUID CONTAINER AND INSPECTED THE FLUID LEVEL, THE FLUID LEVEL WAS AT THE MAX MARK, BUT I NOTICED SMALL BLACK PARTICLES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CONTAINER. I CALLED THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND DESCRIBED THE INCIDENT. THEY PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AND REPLACED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. *TR

THE PROBLEM HAPPENED 3 TIMES. TWO AT VERY LOW SPEEDS DURING THE DAY, AND ONCE AT NIGHT AT HIGH SPEED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING THE JEEP AND THE ENGINE STALLED. IT WAS HARD TO STEER, BUT I WAS MOVING SLOW. I THOUGHT IT WAS A WEIRD FLUKE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT WITH NO PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME IT MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, WE HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE JEEP STALLED. THE BREAKS DON'T WORK WELL, AND THE STEERING IS DIFFICULT. HE PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT WITH NO PROBLEM. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED, WAS ON JANUARY 10, 2015. I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH MY CHILD ON A LONG TRIP. I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE JEEP FOR SEVERAL HOURS ON THE INTERSTATE. IT HAPPENED AT AROUND 10:00 PM - IT WAS VERY DARK. I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE GOING ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED, THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WENT OUT, DASHBOARD WENT DARK, AND I KNEW FROM THE PREVIOUS TWO TIMES, THAT IF I APPLIED THE BREAKS OR TRIED TO STEER, IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT. I DECIDED THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO LOOK DOWN AND TRY TO FIND NEUTRAL AND ACCIDENTALLY PUT IT IN A LOW GEAR. SO I TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON (ENGINE, LIGHT INSIDE AND OUT, POWER STEERING, AND POWER BREAKS) WHILE THE JEEP WAS IN DRIVE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANS RANGE SENSOR WENT BAD. MY MAIN CONCERN IS - WHY IS THE ENGINE STALLING AND JEEP LOSING ALL POWER WHILE MOVING WHEN THE SENSOR GOES BAD? THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT TO LET ME KNOW A SENSOR WAS BAD. ARE ALL JEEPS DESIGNED WITH THIS SENSOR, AND WILL ALL JEEPS EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING IF THEIR TRANS RANGE SENSOR GOES BAD, OR WAS IT JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED WITH MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE? *TR

TAKATA RECALL. ON SUNDAY AUGUST 18TH 2019 AT 4:30 PM A PHONE CALL WAS PLACED TO BROOKLYN CHRYSLER/JEEP AT 718 713 3000 TO CONFIRM AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL MADE THROUGH THE NATIONAL HOTLINE. UPON CONTACTING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I WAS TOLD THAT THE NATIONAL RECALL CENTER DID NOT APPROPRIATELY SCHEDULE THE AIRBAG REPAIR, AND MADE MY APPOINTMENT FOR AN "OIL CHANGE." I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT SCHEDULING ERRORS ARE FREQUENT FROM YOUR OFFICE AND THAT THEY DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE REPLACEMENT AIR BAG PARTS IN STOCK. I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER ONLY SENDS OUT "TWO OR THREE" AIRBAG RECALL PARTS AT A TIME AND THAT THEY ARE GIVEN OUT ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS. SHE STATED THERE IS NO CURRENT PROCEDURE FOR ASSIGNING SERVICE TO A PARTICULAR CUSTOMER AT A PARTICULAR TIME, AND THAT I SHOULD TRY BACK EVERY FEW WEEKS. THIS HAPHAZARD HANDLING, IF TRUE, BEGS THE QUESTION OF WHY YOUR OFFICE WOULD SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS IT DOES SENDING OUT MAILINGS FOR ANY FIX, YET SO LITTLE EFFORT TO STREAMLINE THE ADMINISTRATIVE END TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE. I WILL CONTINUE TO TRY TO MADE THIS "POTENTIALLY DEADLY" REPAIR, BUT SOMEONE CAN COORDINATE BETTER WITH THE DEALERSHIP.

SYMPTOM WAS AIR BAG LIGHT SLOWLY FLASHING, SPECIFICALLY WHILE DRIVING. SOME OTHER SYMPTOMS FROM OTHERS ONLINE SPECIFY WHILE TURNING. DIAGNOSIS IS BAD CLOCK SPRING WITH REPAIRS NECESSARY. THIS HAS BEEN A DOCUMENTED ISSUE THAT CAUSED EXTENDED WARRANTY IN PAST YEARS' MODELS OF JEEP WRANGLER (2007) AND CAUSED A CHRYSLER ORDERED LETTER TO CUSTOMERS, BUT IT IS YET UNCOVERED IN OTHER YEARS, ALTHOUGH THERE IS DOCUMENTATION ONLINE OF THIS ISSUE BEING SEEN IN FUTURE YEARS' MODELS (INCLUDING MY 2010 MODEL).

I IMMEDIATELY PUT IT IN PARK AND GOT OUT TO GET MY SON OUT OF THE BACK SEAT BUT MY DOOR SHUT BEHIND ME AND ALL OF THE REST WERE LOCKED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 BECAUSE I WAS WATCHING THE CAR FILL WITH SMOKE WITH MY 10 MONTH OLD TRAPPED INSIDE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO UNLOCK ANY OF THE DOORS UNTIL I GOT TO THE BACK HATCH, WHERE MY KEY OPENED IT UP. I GOT MY SON OUT AND ABOUT 60 SECONDS LATER, IT STARTED SMOKING WORSE AND IT TURNED TO BLACK SMOKE. ABOUT 30 SECONDS AFTER THAT MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT ALL SEEMED TO START UNDER THE HOOD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR.

ON THE 2010 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 2010 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 2010 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. FIAT CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. MY JEEP WRANGLER HAS JUST OVER 50K MILES AND BOTH THE ESP / BAS LIGHT AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAVE BEGUN FLASHING AND CHIMING INTERMITTENTLY. I WAS TOLD BY FIAT CHRYSLER THAT THE CLOCK SPRING ON THE 2010 (LHD) IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CLOCK SPRING EXTENDED WARRANTY AVAILABLE TO OTHER MODEL YEARS AND THE RHD VERSION ON THE SAME MODEL YEAR. THE CLOCK SPRING IS THE SAME IN ALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES AND REPRESENTS A POTENTIAL THREAT OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH SHOULD THE AIRBAG FAIL TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT OR DEPLOY PREMATURELY.

The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving at 5 MPH, the passenger's side steering column detached. No warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, the transmission had a fluid leak. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the drag link, control arm, and adjustment sleeve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROX 45MPH, THE JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE/JUMP UNCONTROLLABLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE TOOK IT INTO THE JEEP DEALER FROM WHOM WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. HE TIGHTENED THE TRACK BAR (??) AND REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. WE EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT WE WERE BEGINNING A CROSS COUNTRY TRIP, SO HE SHOULD CHECK EVERYTHING. A WEEK OR SO LATER, WE BEGAN THE TRIP FROM FLORIDA TO CALIFORNIA. TWO DAYS INTO THE TRIP (EAST TEXAS), WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WE EXPERIENCED THE SHAKE AGAIN. WE HAD TO TOP THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST JEEP DEALERSHIP, DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS AT MINIMAL SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS. THERE WERE ALREADY TWO JEEPS IN THE SHOP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND WHILE WE WERE THERE, ANOTHER PERSON CAME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WE THEN CONTINUED OUR TRIP. TWO DAYS LATER, IN CALIFORNIA, WE AGAIN EXPERIENCED THE SHAKE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AGAIN, WE TOOK THE CAR TO A JEEP DEALER WHO SAID WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER. WE TOLD HIM IT HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE. HE NOTED THAT THE STABILIZER THAT COMES AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT WITH THE JEEP IS NOT ROBUST ENOUGH AND THAT MOST JEEPS WILL EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM IF NOT UPGRADED. WE ALSO REPORTED THIS SEQUENCE OF EVENTS TO JEEP. WE HAVE SINCE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM IS KNOW AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AND SEEMS TO BE QUITE PREVALENT. *TR

I have a blank instrument cluster, my lights are on and wipers run constantly. No warning before this happened. I cannot turn wipers off or control lights. No safety at night with no interior lights and not to mention. I cannot know how much fuel I have. I have found from research that many Jeep Wrangler owners have the same issue from reading forums. I can disconnect the negative battery cable and it temporarily resets then reverts to the same problem. I have also checked the multifunction switch as I was told could be causing the issue and this is not the case because the issue is still there when the switch was unplugged. I then checked the instrument cluster . Unplugged and plugged back in with only a momentary reset and then back where I started. This is not safe and very frustrating when I know there are Many people with the same issue.

MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS BEEN IDLING FUNNY FOR A WHILE. TODAY MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED RUNNING WITHOUT TURNING THEM ON, THE HEADLIGHT CAME ON HIGH BEAM WITHOUT TURNING THEM ON AND MY TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING. I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET HIME FROM WORK. SOMETIMES THE STARTER STICKS & GRINDS WHEN I TRY TO START IT..SOMETIMES THE CRUISE CONTROL MAKES THE JEEP SHAKE VIOLENTLY LIKE DRIVING ON 4 FLAT TIRES DOWN THE INTERSTATE. MY HUSBAND UNHOOKED THE BATTERY TODAY TO STOP THE WIPERS AND IT WAS SPARKING AND THE WHOLE FUSE CONTROL PANEL WAS TOO HOT TO TOUCH. HE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT IT IS THE TIPM AND IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM IN ALMOST ALL JEEP WRANGLERS, AND HAS BEEN RECALLED IN MOST THAT HAD ALL MY JEEPS ELECTRICAL ISSUES, BUT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED IN THE 2010, EVEN AFTER MANY CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS, GLAD IT DIDN'T CATCH MY JEEP ON FIRE. NOW I'M WORRIED ABOUT PARKING IN MY GARAGE AS IT IS PART OF MY HOUSE. SO NOW MY JEEP THAT ONLY HAS 74000 MILES AND COST ME 35000 DOLLARS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND CAN'T BE PARKED IN ITS COZY 350000 GARAGE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY HOME, JEEP AND POSSIBLY MY LIFE.

WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE WITH THE WHEEL CENTERED THE LIGHT STAYED LOCKED IN, DURING A SWEEPING RIGHT HAND TURN THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT EXTINGUISHED. THIS PATTERN CONTINUED UNTIL I RETURNED HOME AND CHECKED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL POSITION WAS IN FACT THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AND ASSOCIATED CHIME. ANY STEERING WHEEL POSITION LEFT OF CENTER WOULD IMMEDIATELY CAUSE THE LIGHT AND CHIME AND ANY POSITION RIGHT OF CENTER OF WOULD EXTINGUISH THE LIGHT WITHIN 10 SECONDS.

DEALERSHIP PERFORMED A TROUBLECODE CHECK AND RECEIVED DTC: B1B02-DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB 1 CIRCUIT OPEN. DEALERSHIP FURTHER CONFIRMED BY CYCLING THE STEERING WHEEL AND CODE WENT FROM ACTIVE TO STORED. THE CLOCK SPRING WAS REPLACED AND RETESTED SIMILARLY TO MY ABOVE STEERING WHEEL POSITION CHECK AND NO MORE LIGHTS, CHIMES, OR TROUBLE CODES WERE EXPRESSED. FAULTY CLOCKSPRING RIBBON WIRE ASSEMBLIES ARE A RECURRING QUALITY AND SAFETY ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES AND JEEP WRANGLER JK'S SPECIFICALLY.

I will be driving down the road and a red lighting bolt will flash on my gauges then the jeep will either lose power or shut off. I was almost hit by a semi truck due to this. Once I cycle the key goes away till the next time it happens. Also the brake assist will randomly kick on typically applying braking power to the left rear passenger tire. This is not fixed by cycling the key. Jeep has recalled newer Wranglers for these exact issues but when I contacted Jeep they said it would cost me out of pocket

When starting the vehicle the check engine light comes on. Including the low tire pressure sensor comes on. The tires have been repaired yet the pressure system still says low. The car when shortly after it's been turned on only going several miles an hour and staying about 2RPMs starts to kick forward in a abrupt motion as if it wants to accelerate. Sometimes it's a hit or miss to start the car so I have to put it in neutral to start it. In conclusion everytime the vehicle starts to move from a complete stop or braking a loud clanking noise repeats a 2-3 times (clank,clank,clank) continues then stops after driving continually, then repeats after every stop that is made. I'm not sure what to make of it but my guess it has to do with the braking system even though no warning lights for brakes have come up.

Hello, Recently my 2010 Jeep Wrangler has developed the infamous death wobble. It is one of the most terrifying things I've ever experienced. Being on the freeway, doing 75, having my vehicle suddenly start shaking and wobbling like it's coming apart at the seams, and having to come to a complete stop in the middle of rush hour traffic, 3 lanes away from the shoulder has given me extreme anxiety! I have read in depth about this issue, I have read that there have been lawsuits and tech bulletins, but never a recall because "nobody has died from this". Believe me, it's only a matter of time, whether it be a heart attack or an accident, it will happen.

I was driving from the store, I was coming up to a cross road when my wipers just went wild for reasons unknown. When I went to turn them off it completely shut off putting at a sudden stop thankfully just before the crossroad and I'm blessed my kids weren't with me. Put it in park then tried to start it and it was shortly after when I was able to get it started again. Once it was able to start I put into drive and the whole dash was up in lights, and it was almost like it was bogging the rest of the way, under a certain Rpm it was gunna die and I couldn't get it to sustain at a rpm. Almost like it was bogging down on me. Just hoping and praying it would last till home. Once I got it home it died on me. Once it was parked and I tried to figured it out it only tries to turn over after that it dies on me. For how sudden it happened I just don't think I can trust taking it out anymore especially with my children. I am greatful that myself and no one else was injured if it had happened seconds later it would of been a different story. I haven't been able to move it or get it checked because of work and towing costs. So I'm at a loss for what it could be.

I purchased the vehicle from Loperena Auto Sales based on a video and phone conversation with Eddie Loperena who said nothing was wrong with the vehicle expect maybe a left front tire. On March 31 I wired ($14, 995.00) to Loperena Auto. I hired a transportation company to transport the vehicle to my home address in Bedford NH - the vehicle arrived with a ripped temporary plate, 1 key, copies of Bill of Sale but NO TITLE.He informed me the title was coming (On April 20th still no title) and to relax. I ordered four new tires (as they were all bad and would not pass inspection) and they arrived a few days ago so I took the Jeep to Tire Warehouse and they said the vehicle has some issues and they recommended I take the vehicle to a mechanic. I texted Eddie from Lopererna who informed me that this was a used vehicle and he does not check anything in his cars including brakes, engines nothing - this was a completely different tune than when I spoke with him before when he said nothing was wrong with the vehicle. He then called me a text gangster, so I called him and became belligerent and asked me if I knew who I as dealing with and come down to the dealership.I told him the car needed work which was different than what he told me on the phone before purchasing the vehicle and he again said he never checks his cars.. they are used cars. I took the vehicle to my local mechanic and he said the car was a lemon. The car needs new front bearings, two new U joints and if they are stuck to the front axle then a new front axle, rear axle seal and additional bearings. He then said there is so much OIL on the engine that it is a fire hazard (Must not be Driven) and he cannot determine where the oil is coming from without pressure washing the Engine but at a minimum the whole engine needs to be resealed. Answers: Engine, Tires and Axle failed inspection and yes. Definite safety risk! Inspected by mechanics and police. NO Lights at all and only made aware at mechanics shop

HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE JEEP KNOWS ABOUT A TIPM ISSUE BUT WILL NOT FIX IT. TIPM issue. This issue is common and described across the web but is a safety hazard! The headlights will flash 3-5 times then completely shut off. Restarting the Jeep and disconnecting the battery does not help. Jeep dealer says circuit in the TIPM is the issue and that this is common! Lordy have mercy for all the vecs on the road when my headlights started flashing at them and then went out on, of course, an unlit section of the road. But the crazier part is Jeep knew this could happen and doesn't warn the customers. I sure did not know that I might be driving blind at night becoming a safety hazard. The lights then decide to not work for a few days before going back to being reliable for anywhere from weeks to months until you happen to drive at night again and bam they go out again. Luckily the runner/ fog lights are unaffected but as a primary vehicle I can not just keep taking ubers every time it is dark outside! This is such a serious safety issue to loose your lights while driving! There are two common fixes for this. One you buy the TIPM or two you buy non stock headlights and reroute them to your own switch but for most of us, buying a part that Jeep knows will break is crazy and not practical (plus WE the consumer didn't know it would) and the alternative of having to buy a different company's lights to buy pass the wiring in just crazy. It is such a serious issue I do not understand why there is no recall! I'm also so unsure if I can even pass a safety inspection anymore. Also the automatic fuel stopper does not work which is ANOTHER know glitch with the TIPM. This is okay if you know about it because you can hold the handle the whole time while filling up but you can not trust it alone. It isn't like it is all the time either. Just enough to keep you on your toes and plosion the ground with spillage. The first time is scary though.

MY REVERSE WENT OUT ON MY 42RLE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN MY WRANGLER AND I LOOKED IT UP AND SUPPOSEDLY THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY COMMON. LIKE STORY AFTER STORY AFTER STORY AFTER STORY AFTER STORY. THIS TRANSMISSION HAD A RECALL IN ITS EARLY DAYS WHERE IT WOULDN'T GO INTO PARK AND PEOPLE WERE CRASHING THEY FIXED THAT BUT EVER SINCE THIS TRANSMISSION CAME OUT ACCORDING TO GOOGLE. PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT SHOULDN'T JUST GO OUT LIKE THAT. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. WELL I WAS TRYING UNTIL I REALIZED THAT I WASN'T GOING ANYWHERE SO I HAD TO DRIVE OVER THE LITTLE HUMP THINGS. BUT MY REVERSE LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING COME ON BUT MY ENGINE JUST REVS. AND EVERYONE I'VE ASKED FROM PEOPLE IN NEW ORLEANS JEEP CLUB TO LOOKING IT UP ON GOOGLE EITHER HAS THIS PROBLEM OR HAD THIS PROBLEM OR KNOWS SOMEONE WHO EITHER HAS OR HAD THIS PROBLEM.

1) DOORS ARE SUPPOSED TO LOCK WHEN VEHICLE GETS TO A CERTAIN SPEED BUT THE DRIVER SIDE NO LONGER LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY. 2) WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, THE AUTOMATIC GEAR SLIPPED INTO DRIVE AND SMASHED INTO A WALL AND TOTALLY SHUT DOWN. THE JEEP HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER AS THE AUTOMATIC GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE JEEP WOULD NOT START. THE JEEP HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP FOR 3 DAYS AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE JEEP.

AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET I CAM ACROSS THE ACRONYM OF THE ISSUE. WHAT HAPPENED IS EXACTLY DESCRIBED IN THIS ARTICLE AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." HTTP://ABC7NEWS.COM/ARCHIVE/8547340/ THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE I'M DRIVING AT AN AVERAGE SPEED OR HIGH SPEED. IF I HIT A DIP OR TURN AT A AVERAGE TO HIGH SPEED MY JEEP SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY. TODAY I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE 60 EASTBOUND IN THE HIGH SPEED LANE GOING THE SPEED LIMIT (CRUISE CONTROL). MY JEEP HIT A DIP AND SHOOK SO UNCONTROLLABLY I ALMOST HAD TO DO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY. I TRIED THE BEST I COULD TO MERGE TO THE SLOW SPEED LANE TO POSSIBLY EXIT THE FREEWAY. A FEW VEHICLES WERE BEHIND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT ALMOST CAUSED A SEVERE ACCIDENT. IT LITERALLY FEELS LIKE THE AXEL IS GOING TO SNAP IN HALF OR THE VEHICLE MAY EVEN FLIP IF THE SHAKING WERE TO CONTINUE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHAKING LIKE THIS THE ONLY WAY I'VE EXPERIENCED FOR IT TO STOP IS QUICKLY SLOWING DOWN ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP. IF I SLOW DOWN SLOWLY IT STILL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY SO MUCH SO THAT IT PUTS ME IN THE OTHER LANE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND CAN MOST DEFINITELY KILL SOMEONE. THIS HAPPENED TODAY AT LEAST 3 TIMES. I THEN FINALLY PUT MY VEHICLE IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AT 2H WHILE DRIVING FEARING IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, MY AXEL MAY BREAK; OR WORSE MY LIFE TAKEN. BEFORE THIS INCIDENT I'D SAY IT'S HAPPENED EVERY NOW AND THEN. APPROX. ONCE EVERY 3-6 MONTHS SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE. I ALSO HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED EVERY TIME I GET MY OIL CHANGED AT 3,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING

FIRST, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HIT THE BRAKES, WHEN THE VEHICLE LOCKED ALL THE BRAKES COMPLETELY, THE VEHICLE STARTED SKIDDING ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. A FEW WEEKS LATER, I WAS DRIVING UP THE HILL WHEN ALL THE DASH LIGHTS LIGHTED UP, I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT OFF BUT THEY DID NOT WENT OFF . I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD TO REPLACE THE ABS MODULE (68067458AA) COSTING $215.00 PLUS $160 ON LABOR. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT A FEW CUSTOMERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. THE VEHICLE IS ALSO TURNING OFF THE HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT. RIGHT KNOW THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. THE CHECK ENGINE CODE IS B162F, RIGHT LOW BEAM CONTROL. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, IT COST AROUND $400. WHEN I LOOKED IN THE INTERNET, THERE ARE SEVERAL CASES OF THAT ISSUE SINCE 2010.IT CREATES A POSSIBLE HAZARD DRIVING AT NIGHT.

HOWEVER, WE STILL HAVE TO OPERATE THESE VEHICLES KNOWING THAT IT'S A RISK TO OUR HEALTH AND SAFETY. NHTSA SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND SPOKE TO A REP. I TOLD HIM MY CONCERN AND HE EXPLAINED THAT PARTS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL EARLY 2017. I TOLD HIM THIS CALL WAS TO INFORM HIM OF MY CONCERN AND THAT GOD FORBID SOMETHING HAPPENS THAT I WOULD OWN CHRYSLER AND WILL FILE A SUIT AGAINST NHTSA.

AFTER PUTTING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON SO IT WOULD ROLL INTO ANOTHER CAR I JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR JUST IN TIME TO SEE THE FLAMES EAT THE HOOD OF MY JEEP AND WORK ITS WAY BACK THROUGH MY ENTIRE VEHICLE. I WATCHED AS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT THE FIRE OVER AND OVER AND OVER. SINCE IT HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS MY JEEP WAS DISTROYED. I PUT $70,000 OF PARTS INTO MY JEEP AND IT WAS ALL EATEN BY A FIRE IN 20 MINUTES. I GOT THE OIL CHANGED DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT A RECALL. I NEVER RECIEVED ANY PIECE OF MAIL NOTIFYING ME OF ANY RECALL. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE FIRE ISSUES UNTIL I STARTED TO RESEARCH WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

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.

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

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

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

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

PARKING BRAKE,EQUIPMENT
1 complaint
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 VERIFY HE EXAMINED MY VEHICLE AND FOR A COPY OF THE RESULTS FOR MY OWN FILE, THAT REQUEST WAS ALSO DENIED. APPROXIMATELY A MONTH LATER, I AM STILL AWAITING A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER WITH DETAILS FROM HANK'S INVESTIGATION. I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM CHRYSLER STATING THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN DISCRIMINATED AGAINST DUE TO MY AGE I LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES FOR THE SPECIAL CLAIMS DEPARTMENT AT CHRYSLER AND NEVER RECEIVED A PHONE CALL BACK. ONLY ONCE I GOT ONE BACK. *TR

E S P A DEADLY IDEA THAT IS BEING FORCED UPON US. MAY OF 2010 I PURCHASED A JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. FIRST WEEKEND OF SEPTEMBER I HAD E S P FAILURE. TOOK IT TO JEEP THE FOLLOWING WED. THEY ATTEMPTED TO RETURN IT TO ME UNABLE TO DUPLICATE, NO PARTS REPLACED. THE PROBLEM DID NOT "GO AWAY ". E S P FAILURES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2007. A SAFETY DEVICE TO SAVE YOU IN A CRASH SHOULD NOT CAUSE THE CRASH. ONLY ABOUT 12,300 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. FACTORY STOCK. NO MODS. JEEP BUYING BACK THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PROTECT ME OR MY LOVED ONES. THE OTHERS WILL STILL BE OUT THERE ON THE ROAD. FORCED LEGISLATION OF THIS WILL ACTUALLY CREATE OTHER PROBLEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FAILURES. VARIOUS "HACK JOBS" WILL BE PERFORMED IN ORDER TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BUT WILL ACTUALLY CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS. I ALREADY HAVE TO DODGE WEAVING DRIVERS FOR OTHER REASONS. DRUNKS ARE AT LEAST ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE. HAS NO ONE ANY COMMON SENSE ANYMORE? IF I WANTED TO BE DRIVEN I WOULD HIRE A CHAUFFEUR. REMEMBER THE AUTO SEAT BELTS THAT THREW PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR CARS AND CAUSED THEM TO BE KILLED OR PARALYZED. ( I PERSONALLY KNOW SOMEONE THAT THIS HAPPENED TO). HOW ABOUT THE AIR BAGS DECAPITATING CHILDREN? THAT REALLY SAVED LIVES THERE. LET US NOT FORGET THE RECENT PRIUS FAILURES. *TR
