2011 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WARNING INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE AT 30 SECOND INTERVALS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FEDERICO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1875 E EDWARDSVILLE RD, WOOD RIVER, IL 62095, (618) 254-1000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V288000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,537.

CRACK IN GAS TANK - THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED YESTERDAY WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC. THERE IS A CRACK IN THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT AFTER RESEARCH IN TRYING TO GET A NEW GAS TANK, HE FOUND THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. MOPAR HAS A SIGNIFICANT BACKORDER FOR THESE TANKS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HOPE IT WILL BE LOOKED INTO.

THE CLOCK SPRING ON MY JEEP APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED. THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY JEEP IS ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS AS LONG AS THIS LIGHT IS ON THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE WILL NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND JEEP (FCA US) RECALLED A MAJORITY OF JEEPS FROM '07-'12 FOR THIS ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY THEY ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE CLOCK SPRING FOR MOST WRANGLERS FROM '11-'16. MY VEHICLE SHOULD FALL WITHIN EACH. I'M BEING TOLD BY BOTH FCA US AND THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED ON MY JEEP. THIS SEEMS WRONG WHEN THE CLOCK SPRING ISSUE IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN.

JEEP WRANGLER 2011 STALLED ON THE CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY IN SEVERAL OCCATIONS. IT OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS ON THE ROAD, THE JEEP WENT OUT COMPLETELY, IT DID NOT BRAKE, IT DID NOT TURN ON, IT DID NOT HONK, I DID NOT RESPOND. SEVERAL TIMES THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION HAPPEN EXACTLY THE SAME AND I ALMOST RISKED MY LIFE. I ALREADY BEEN ON THE EDGE OF CRASHING AND I HAD TO STOP IN THE GRASS OR GREEN AREAS TO NOT KILL MYSELF. MECHANICS DO NOT COME UP WITH THE PROBLEM. IN THE DEALER THERE ARE SEVERAL JEEP WRANGLER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. LAST VISIT TO A PROFESSIONAL AND AUTHORIZE REPAIR CENTER 6/11/18. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT THAT ATTENDS LIFE AND SECURITY.

TAKATA RECALL, THESE AIRBAGS REMAIN IN MY VEHICLE WITH THE RECALL OF TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY IN MY AREA MAKE MY VEHICLE A CONSTANT DANGER TO MY LIFE AND ALL THOSE ON ANY ROAD OR HIGHWAY I MAY DRIVE ON. THEY CONTAIN METAL COMPONENTS THAT KILL. NHTSA IS NOT DOING NEARLY ENOUGH TO GET THE MANUFACTURER TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO REPLACE SAID AIRBAGS BEFORE, HIGHLY POSSIBLE MULTIPLE DEATHS OCCUR. THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, WATER ACCUMULATING ON THE FLOOR IN 8 TO 12 INCHES ON BOTH FRONT PASSENGER SIDES. NOT A DROP WAS FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE WITHIN THE VEHICLE. IT TOOK 4 ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO, REPORT OTHER THAN THOSE I HAVE ON A HARD DRIVE FROM SOMEONE MY DEALERSHIP HAD TO CALL IN TO FIX THIS ISSUE, BY THE NAME OF,"THE WATERMAN." WHY ARE THERE NO REPORTS ON FILE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF MY DEALERSHIP. THERE ARE CONSTANT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, ICONS LIGHTING UP, REPAIR DEPARTMENT CLAIMING THEY CANNOT REPEAT THE ISSUE. THOUGH I HAVE TAKEN IN PHOTOS OF THE DASHBOARD AS PROOF AND EVIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY MECHANICAL AND BODY OUTSIDE S WELL AS THE ENTIRE INTERIOR.THE CARPET REQUIRES REPLACING REFUSED BY THE SERVICE DEPT. THE WATER CAUSED THE CARPETING TO BECOME LOOSE, THE CHEAP PLASTIC CLIP TO HOLD THE MAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOES NOT HOLD IT IN PLACE ,CAUSING IT TO PUNCH UP UNDER THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS.THERE IS ALSO A RIP ABOUT AN INCH OR SO BESIDE THE PLASTIC CLIP MEANT TO HOLD THE MAT IN PLACE. THIS IS A DEADLY DEFECT WAITING TO HAPPEN. AFTER TWICE BEING DEEMED REPAIRED, BOTH SIDE VIEW ELECTRIC HEATED MIRRORS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP THEM CLEAR FROM WATER, THE DANGEROUS PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE WATER DAMAGE HAS CAUSED RUST AND CORROSION TO ACCUMULATE UNDER THE CARPET WHERE MOST OF THE WIRES AND PARTS TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ARE PLACED AND COMPROMISED.THERE ARE SUSPENSION PROBLEMS,VISIBILITY

MY EMERGENCY BRAKE KEEPS POPPING LOOSE WHEN ENGAGED. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP TIGHTEN IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT HOWEVER IT NEVER FELT LIKE IT WAS TIGHT. RECENTLY I'VE HAD MORE WORK DONE TO THE JEEP AND I ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT IT. THE RESPONSE WAS THAT IT CAN NOT BE TIGHTENED, IT HAS TO BE REPLACED. HE SAID THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON WRANGLERS. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE WARRANTIED FOR 2 YEARS. AS FAR AS THE DATE FOR WHICH IT HAPPENED I WOULD HAVE TO SAY IT'S BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM EVER SINCE WE'VE OWNED IT.

WHEN I FILL UP AT THE PUMP GAS OVERFLOWS - TRIED DIFFERENT STATIONS AND SETTING ON THE LEVER.

DRIVING HOME FRIDAY NIGHT ENGINE STARTED HARD KNOCKING AND HAD CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THROWN ROD. CALLED LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND CORRESPONDED WITH MOTHER SHIP JEEP - TOLD ME TO POUND SAND. MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEING A CANADIAN CAR AND NO WARRANTY - HOW WOULD I KNOW THAT?

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING 55 MPH AND A HUGE GUST OF WHITE SMOKE CAME THRU THE DASH VENT SYSTEM SO I PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT OF MY JEEP SAHARA AND NOTICED A BIG MASS OF WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD... 2 MINUTES LATER, FIRE STARTED AND WITHIN A COUPLE MINUTES MY WHOLE FRONT PART OF THE JEEPS ENGINE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THAN FROM THERE IT BURNED UP THE REST OF THE JEEP.. THIS VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED IN A MATTER OF 10-15 MINUTES.. I WAS DRIVING ON A PAVED ROAD IN THE COUNTRY ..

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING VEHICLE.. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON LINE
