2010 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

LIGHTS ON DASH WENT HAYWIRE AND THE VEHICLE JUST DIED WHILE GOING 35 MPH WOULD NOT RESTART OR COME OUT OF GEAR WHEN IT WAS STOPPED. I WAS STUCK ON A CITY STREET WITH NO LIGHTS OF ANY KIND. VERY THANKFUL MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT WITH ME!!

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE WOULD VIOLENTLY START SHAKING IF IT HIT A POT HOLE OR THE ROAD WOULD CURVE. WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE, STEERING THE VEHICLE WAS IMPOSSIBLE AND IT ALSO KILLED THE ENGINE ONCE. THIS HAPPENED DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO ON RESIDENTIAL ROADS. TURNED ON THE VEHICLE THE WIPERS ARE GOING NONSTOP WITHOUT BEING TURNED ON, THE TURN SIGNALS AND ALL OF THE GAUGES ARE NOT WORKING. THE HEADLIGHTS STAY ON WHEN THE JEEP IS ON. THIS HAPPENS WITH STARTING THE VEHICLE AND ALSO DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BUSHING INSIDE THE DOOR HINGES FRACTURED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO OPEN AND SECURELY CLOSE THE DOORS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S DOOR AND THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS WERE INOPERABLE. BURDICK DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (5885 CIR DR E #335, CICERO, NY 13039, (315) 699-3846) DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR HINGE BUSHINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED PHONE CONVERSATION WITH CORPORATE JEEP/CHRYSLER, ALSO DRIVERS SEAT BELT DOES NOT RETRACT BY ITSELF ANYMORE. THE CAR (JEEP) CLICKS NOW, EVERY NOW AND THEN AND WON'T START TILL AFTER 8 CLICKS- "TIPM"! IT WAS RECALLED ON EARLIER JEEPS- THEY THOUGHT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. NOT! UPDATED 10/19/18*JB

BREAKS: WHEN THE JEEP IS OFF THE PEDAL WILL PUMP UP WITH PRESSURE BUT WHEN IM DRIVING THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR IF I JUST PRESS IT ONE TIME.

TAKATA RECALL - PLUS OTHER ITEMS.JEEP REFUSED TO FIX MY JEEP WITHOUT STANDING RECALL NOTICES. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND HAD ALL DATA VERIFIED OF THE OUTSTANDING ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED BACK TO CONFIRM MILEAGE. MY APPOINTMENT WAS TODAY 06/25/2018 AT PLAZA JEEP IN INVERNESS, FL - I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WHEN I RETURNED TO PICK IT UP; ONLY 1 OF 6 RECALLS WERE ADDRESSED. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEED TO NOW ORDER PARTS THAT THE ONES ASSIGNED TO MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN USED OR GONE. CALL CHRYSLER AND THEY ADVISED THAT I COULD COME BACK BUT PARTS MAY NOT BE THERE. HOW CAN I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND CONFIRM PARTS AND YET THEY REFUSE TO COMPLETE THE WORK. I AM TOLD THAT I MAY MAKE SEVERAL APPOINTMENTS TO GET THESE DONE. I NEED HELP AND CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING DAYS OFF AND HOPE THEY HAVE NOT USED THE PARTS ASSIGNED TO ME.

WHEN FUELING TO FULL, THE TANK ALMOST ALWAYS OVERFILLS, THE SAFETY SWITCH ON THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT TRIP (NO MATTER WHAT STATION I USE). I MUST MONITOR IT CLOSELY AND GUESS HOW MUCH FUEL I NEED AND STOP THE PUMP EARLY.

MY VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE WITH FUEL SPILLING OUT OF THE TANK AND ON TO THE GROUND EACH TIME I FILL UP. I DO NOT TOP OFF THE TANK NOR DO I USE THE FASTEST SETTING ON THE PUMP TO DELIVER THE FUEL. IT IS KNOWN ISSUE BY THE MANUFACTURER AND A WARRANTY BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS. THE MANUFACTURER NOR THE DEALERSHIPS TAKE RESPONSIBLE ACTION ON REPAIRING THE SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. THEY INSTEAD ASK CONSUMERS TO FRONT THE COSTS AND SAVE RECEIPTS IN THE EVENT A RECALL IS ISSUED IN THE FUTURE FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I AM WRITING THIS HOPES THAT YOUR AGENCY WILL INVESTIGATE AND ISSUE THE RECALL IF NECESSARY SO THIS PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED.

EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK, I SPILL A LOT OF GAS OUT THE FILL NECK. IT OCCURS NO MATTER HOW SLOW OR FAST I FILL. IT SPIT GAS OUT ALMOST LIKE IT'S BURPING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM.

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON MY 2010 WRANGLER DOES NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE ON ANY SORT OF INCLINE. THE VIRGINIA CODE FOR A PARKING/ EMERGENCY BRAKE STATES THAT IT MUST STALL THE VEHICLE IN 2ND GEAR (IT DOES) BUT THE BRAKE WILL NOT MAINTAIN THE POSITION OF THE VEHICLE ON THE SLIGHTEST INCLINE. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE MAY ROLL AWAY INTO THE ROAD AND CAUSE HARM TO OTHERS. FURTHERMORE, IF I WERE TO BE IN THE VEHICLE THEN I MAY BECOME TRAPPED WITH IT ROLLING IN TO TRAFFIC. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON THE EARLY 2007-2017 BODY STYLE WRANGLER AND NEEDS ATTENTION BEFORE IT CAUSES SERIOUS HARM.

EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, GAS SPLASHES BACK ONTO THE PAVEMENT (OR MY CLOTHING IF I AM STANDING NEAR THE FILL PIPE). THIS IS A WELL KNOWN, AND DANGEROUS, PROBLEM THAT JEEP OWNERS ARE AWARE OF (PER THE ON-LINE FORUMS). I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN RELATED TO EARLIER MODELS OF JEEP WRANGLERS. TWO DEALERS I WENT TO DENY ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH 2010 WRANGLERS. ON-LINE FORUMS INDICATE THAT THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM ON NEWER WRANGLERS AND THAT DEALERS ARE CHARGING $200 - $600 TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN A SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR MANY OWNERS HAS BEEN TO PERSONALLY INSTALL PART CNNNX321AC ($40.00) WHICH IS A REPLACEMENT FUEL FILL TUBE THAT HAS SOME SORT OF MECHANISM IN IT TO PREVENT SPLASH BACK. I INSTALLED THIS PART AND IT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERS I WENT TO SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS FIX. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THIS FIX. INSTEAD THEY ARE DENYING THAT THERE CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM ON THE NEWER VEHICLES. I CAN'T EMPHASIZE ENOUGH HOW DANGEROUS THIS PROBLEM IS.
