2011 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

THIS JEEP HAS A RECALL FOR THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS FOR THE HEATED MIRROR FOR POSSIBLE FIRE. THE AUTONATION DEALER IN GOLDEN COLORADO SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART AND JEEP RECALL DEPARTMENT SAYS THEY DO. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE DEALER DOESN'T WANT TO FIX RECALL ITEMS DO TO THE PROFITABILITY. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. JEEP RECALL IS SAYING THAT ISN'T THE CASE. THE MANUFACTURE AND DEALERS NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS HAZARDOUS RISK BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS FOR SOME TIME NOW AND JEEP SHOULD BE MORE COOPERATIVE.

DEATH WOBBLE - I HAD HEARD OF OTHER JEEP WRANGLER DRIVERS TALKING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS, BUT HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED IT UNTIL LAST WEEKEND. IT STARTED WITH A SLIGHT SHIMMY AT AROUND 35MPH AT THE BEGINNING OF A ROUGHLY 250 MI. ROAD TRIP. BEFORE HITTING THE END OF THE TRIP, THE SHIMMY HAD TRANSFORMED INTO AN INCREDIBLY VIOLENT JERKING MOTION OF THE STEERING BETWEEN 10:00 - 2:00 AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. VERY NEARLY RESULTED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, HAD TO REPLACE THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS, WHEEL BEARINGS, TIE ROD ENDS, STEERING STABILIZER, TRACK BAR AND DRAG LINKS. THE TRACK BAR BOLTS IN THE END SLEEVES SEEMED FAR TOO SMALL IN DIAMETER AND ROUTED OUT THE BUSHINGS OVER TIME AND THIS LOOKED TO BE ONE OF THE MAJOR CULPRITS OF THE PROBLEM. INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION AND ALSO AN INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE FIX AS ALL OF THESE PARTS ARE AFFECTED AND INTERCONNECTED. WHEN ONE STARTS TO GO IT HAS A DOMINO EFFECT ON THE OTHERS.

ABS BRAKES ENGAGE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT TOUCHING BRAKES. THIS CAUSES THE ABS LIGHT TO TURN ON AND ALL FOUR WHEELS GO THROUGH THE ANTI-LOCK STUTTER PATTERN AND CAN DRAMATICALLY AFFECT STEERING CONTROL WHEN IT IS UNEXPECTED, PULLING THE VEHICLE HARD IN EITHER DIRECTION. THIS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES YESTERDAY WHILE MAKING A 250 MI ROAD TRIP ON THE WAY BACK HOME. THE DASHBOARD LIGHT ILLUMINATES BRIEFLY EACH TIME AS THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES FOR ROUGHLY 2-3 SECONDS AND THEN RELEASES. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED ROAD SPEEDS WERE BETWEEN 45-65MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. AT VARIOUS TIMES, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO LEAKING OIL FREQUENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

2011 JEEP JKU CLOCKSPRING FAULTY WHY ONLY 2007-2010 RECALL WHEN ALL YRS ARE CRAP!

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON CONSISTENTLY AND STARTED ABOUT 55,000 MILES. DEALER TESTED AND SAYS IT IS CODE B1B02. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I SAW WHERE THIS HAS BEEN AN KNOWN ISSUE FOR SOME TIME.

TAKATA RECALL WE FEEL WE CANNOT SAFELY USE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED. WHEN DO THEY ANTICIPATE HAVING A PROPER FIX?

THERE IS FUEL CAP MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD. I CHANGED THE CAP AND THE MESSAGE CONTINUED. I TOOK THE RUBICON TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL TANK AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A HOSE THAT GOES FROM WHERE THE FUEL GETS FILLED TO THE ENGINE AND THE WHOLE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND A SAFETY HAZARD. THE JEEP IS NOT BEING DRIVEN RIGHT NOW DUE TO MY CONCERN. THE JEEP IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND IT ONLY HAS 36K MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURE REPLACEMENT> I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH ISSUES ON OTHER VEHICLES EVEN AFTER 50+ YEARS. PLEASE ADVICE ME ASAP ON MY NEXT STEP. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED RANDOMLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED PRIMARILY AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

TAKATA INFLATORS. AFTER CALLING JEEP CHRYSLER REGARDING THE RECALL NOTIFICATION I WAS INFORMED THAT THE COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE A FIX, OTHER THAN NOT ALLOWING PASSENGERS. AS THEY DO NOT HAVE A REPAIR I INQUIRED ABOUT THE OTHER OPTIONS (BUY BACK AND TRADING FOR A NON AFFECTING VEHICLE) AND WAS INFORMED THAT JEEP CHRYSLER WOULD NOT PERFORM EITHER ACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NHTSA GUIDELINES. IF COMPANIES ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL GUIDELINES, HOW CAN THEY ARBITRARILY CHOSE NOT TO HONOR THEM? WE ARE A SINGLE VEHICLE HOME AND NOW WE CANNOT USE IT TO TRANSPORT OUR FAMILY WITHOUT RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH AND JEEP CHRYSLER HAS NO REPAIR IN PLACE AND THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT A RETURN OR A SWAP TO A SAFE VEHICLE.
