2010 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE FUEL TANK OVERFLOWED AND SPILLED FUEL ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

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.

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.

DASHBOARD DOESN'T ILLUMINATE, DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS DON'T OPERATE, WIPERS WON'T STOP. THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS I HAD THIS DIAGNOSED BY A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC. AND I HAD THE CLOCK SPRING REPLACED BY A JEEP DEALER AS THIS DIDN'T CORRECT THE EXISTING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED AFTER THE JEEP WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT IN MY GARAGE AND IT HAPPENED JANUARY 2016.

TAKATA RECALL-------- OK--I RECEIVED A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS MONTHS AGO....IN THE RECALL IT STATES THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A "SERIOUS THREAT TO YOUR AND YOUR PASSENGERS SAFETY" AND SHOULD BE REMEDIED ASAP......"IT COULD RESULT IN DEATH.." CALLED MY DEALER AGAIN TODAY TO SEE IF I CAN GET IT FIXED..I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND THE LATEST HE HAS HEARD IS MONTHS IF NOT YEARS AWAY FROM EITHER A FIX OR GETTING THE PARTS........ WHAT IS NHTSA'S POSITION ON THIS?? JUST DRIVE THE CAR AND CONTINUE TO TAKE A CHANCE THAT THE PROBLEM WILL NOT OCCUR..?? IF IT DOES AND KILLS MY GRANDSON???? IS ANYBODY AT NHTSA LOOKING INTO THIS AND DO YOU HAVE ANY POWER TO FORCE THIS COMPANY TO PRODUCE A REMEDY TO PERHAPS SAVE SOME LIVES???? COULD IT TRULY BE MONTHS AND MONTHS AWAY FROM A FIX????

JUST BOUGHT 2010 JEEP ON 1/2/17 WITH ONLY 38K MILES FOR OUR 17 YEAR OLD SON. EVERY TIME WE PUT GAS IN THE JEEP THE GAS SPLATTERS OUT EVERYWHERE, ENOUGH TO SATURATE SIDE OF JEEP AND GROUND AS WELL AS CLOTHES, SKIN. THE GAS WILL STILL COME OUT AFTER AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF OCCURS. IT SEEMS THE GAS IS COMING BACK OUT OF THE TANK AND NOT THE NOZZLE SINCE WE HAVE GONE TO DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. EVEN LET THE GAS NOZZLE SIT A MOMENT BEFORE REMOVING FROM TANK. VEHICLE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF AND NOT RUNNING. NOZZLE WAS PROPERLY INSERTED. MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF HAVE TRIED TO DO IT WITHOUT THE GAS SPILLING (SLOW, NOT TOPPING OFF, WAITING TO REMOVE NOZZLE) BUT IT STILL DOES IT. NOT A SAFE VEHICLE FOR OUR SON TO TAKE TO COLLEGE.

TAKATA RECALL - NO PARTS AVAILABLE SINCE MAY 2016. SAYS DEATH MAY OCCUR IF THIS RUPTURES!

WHEN FUELING, GAS SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILL HOLE. THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS CONDITION FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND FOR THE PEOPLE IT SPRAYS ON. FCA SAYS I NEED A NEW FUEL TANK.($1100.00) THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM WHEN THE WARRANTY WAS IN EFFECT BUT NOW THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.
