2010 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

WHEN FUELING VEHICLE, FUEL WILL SPILL OUT WHERE NOZZLE IS AND FLOW DOWN SIDE OF VEHICLE AND FROM A PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GROUND, IT'S IS UNKNOWN HOW CLOSE FUEL GETS TO MUFFLER EXHAUST SYSTEM BUT COULD POTENTIALLY START A FIRE AT THE GAS PUMPS.

TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) FAILED WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE JEEP TO DIE AT HIGHWAY SPEED MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL ON THE NORTH TEXAS EXPRESSWAY WITH NO EXITS. JEEP CAME TO A STOP ON A BLIND CURVE AND WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK TO BE MOVED. SHIFTED TRANSFER CASE TO NUT NEUTRAL AND WITH ANOTHER DRIVES ASSISTANCE PUSHED OFF THE EXPRESSWAY.

I BOUGHT THIS JEEP BRAND NEW AND ALMOST FROM THE START WHEN FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION. WHEN THE TANK IS FULL THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF THEN A LOT OF GAS COMES OUT THE FILL PIPE I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE TRIED GOING SLOW TOOK ALMOST 20 MINUTES TO FILL THE GAS TANK AND STILL GAS COME SPLASHING OUT OF THE FILL PIPE. I THINK THEIR IS SOMETHING DEFECTIVE IN THE FILL PIPE THAT DOESN'T TRIGGER THE SHUT OFF IN THE NOZZLE FAST ENOUGH.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY RESIDENTIAL STREET AND MY JEEP'S WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING OFF, MY HORN STARTING HONKING AND MY SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND 3 SECONDS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING BUT THIS TIME IT DIED AND SMOKE STARTED COMING THROUGH MY VENTS INSIDE. 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.

ALL THE BREAK LIGHTS CAME ON AT ONE TIME (ESP, BAS, ABS) AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WILL NOT GO OFF. I WAS SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP SIGN IN A SCHOOL PARKING LOT. NO RAIN OR OTHER WEATHER EVENTS OCCURED, ON DRY PAVEMENT

THE HEAD LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. THEY FLASH WHEN I START THE JEEP AND WHEN I TURN ON THE LIGHT SWITCH. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN I CHANGED THE BATTERY. I CAN'T DRIVE IT AT NIGHT ANYMORE. THE WEB IS FULL OF THIS SAME COMPLAINANT. I HAD THE SYSTEM SCANNED AND GET CODES B162F & B162B. HOW CAN THIS PROBLEM EXIST? I'M TALKING ABOUT HEAD LIGHTS. THE RUNNING LIGHTS ARE NOT AFFECTED.

GASOLINE SPLASHES BACK WHEN TANK GETS REFUELED WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AT THE PUMP. I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE SINCE AT LEAST MARCH OF 2018. MY MECHANIC SUGGESTS THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS A DEFECT NECESSITATING A RECALL. GOOGLE SEARCH INFORMS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON AND ONGOING PROBLEM FOR OTHER WRANGLER OWNERS AS WELL. YOU'LL FIND VIDEO'S POSTED BY OTHERS ON YOUTUBE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES, IT OVERHEATED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN JEEP DEALER IN MANHATTAN, NY WHERE FAILURE CODE: P1745 WAS LOCATED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON INTERMITTENTLY DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, MEANING THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THERE'S A COLLISION. SUSPECTED COMPONENT FAILURE IS THE CLOCKSPRING. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON OTHER YEARS OF JEEP WRANGLERS FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT NOT 2010 TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

MAJOR GAS SPILLAGE AFTER STOPPING THE PUMP. GAS GOES EVERYWHERE. THIS IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS!
