2010 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

TAKATA RECALL: MARCH 2017 WE RECEIVED NOTICE FROM FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES DESCRIBING A RECALL FOR OUR VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR. ON 1 APRIL 2017 I CONTACTED SPARTANBURG CHRYSLER JEEP, I WAS TOLD PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THEY WERE AVAILABLE. AS OF 24 OCTOBER 2017 I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM SPARTANBURG CHRYSLER JEEP AND HAVE NOW RECEIVED NOTICE FROM TK HOLDINGS INC., THAT THEY ARE FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION AND I MAY LOOSE MY ABILITY TO FILE A CLAIM. I WOULD LIKE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED WITH A SAFE ONE AT NO EXPENSE TO ME.

SINCE I PURCHASED MY JEEP IT HAS HAD A FUEL OVERFLOW ISSUE WHERE FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE GAS TANK ONCE FILLED TO CAPACITY. I HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO NOT FILL TO CAPACITY TO AVOID THE ISSUE. I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE NOW BECAUSE I AM HAVING MY JEEP SERVICES FOR OTHER RECALL NOTICES AND WAS SURPRISED THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ALREADY IN PLACE FOR THIS HAZARD.

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. THE HEADLIGHTS CUTTING OUT IS A MAJOR CONCERN AND WHEN I CALLED JEEP FOR A PRICE THEY HAD IT IN STOCK WHICH WOULD INDICATE THIS IS A KNOWN AND NORMAL ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. COURTESY NISSAN IN ALTOONA, PENNSYLVANIA, (814)-942-9000 WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH INTO A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE ALTERNATOR STARTED TO SMOKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS FAULTY AND DESTROYED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE COMPUTER. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 99,600.

THERE HAS STILL BEEN NO REMEDY TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG WHICH CAN EXPLODE UNDER EXTREME HUMIDITY

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, FUEL COMES GUSHING OUT FROM THE FILLER HOLE. THIS HAPPENS JUST AS THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF. IT SPILLS A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL ALL OVER THE CAR AND ME. I WOULD ESTIMATE 1/2 CUP TO 1 CUP OF GAS SPILLS DEPENDING ON HOW QUICKLY THE GAS PUMP IS RUNNING. FROM MY RESEARCH SO FAR THIS IS NOT RECALLED AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT WAS PRESENT AND COVERED FOR 2007-2008 MODELS. 2010 MODELS NEED TO BE LOOKED AT AND COVERED. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIALLY FATAL DEFECT.

TIPM ISSUES. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY FLASH 3-5 TIMES EQUAL IN LENGTH AND THEN SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WILL NOT RESET EVEN IF JEEP IS TURNED OFF AN TURNED BACK ON. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE LIGHTS CAN RANDOMLY BEING TO FLASH AN THEN SHUT OFF.

AFTER AIRBAG RECALL SERVICE, THE HORN STOPPED WORKING AND THE DEALER DIAGNOSIS IS THE TIPM MODULE.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN AT A STOP AND IN FIRST GEAR, WHEN I PROCEED TO GO FORWARD THE GEAR WILL POP OUT OF 1ST INTO NEUTRAL. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. SPORADIC.
