2010 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V176000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000.

WHEN PUMPING GAS THE GAS DOES NOT CLICK OFF AND GAS SPITS OUT ALL OVER ME AND THE JEEP. I JUST PURCHASED THIS USED FROM A FORD DEALER. I HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH MY DODGE DURANGO THAT HAD A RECALL BY CHRYSLER. I CHECKED AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE 2010 JEEP WRANGLER BUT HAVE RESEARCHED AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I FILLED UP AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I HAD OTHER PEOPLE PUMP THE GAS, INCLUDING THE MECHANIC FROM THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE JEEP AT. IT DID THE SAME THING EACH TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID IT IS TO NOT FILL UP WHICH DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

SYMPTOM WAS AIR BAG LIGHT SLOWLY FLASHING, SPECIFICALLY WHILE DRIVING. SOME OTHER SYMPTOMS FROM OTHERS ONLINE SPECIFY WHILE TURNING. DIAGNOSIS IS BAD CLOCK SPRING WITH REPAIRS NECESSARY. THIS HAS BEEN A DOCUMENTED ISSUE THAT CAUSED EXTENDED WARRANTY IN PAST YEARS' MODELS OF JEEP WRANGLER (2007) AND CAUSED A CHRYSLER ORDERED LETTER TO CUSTOMERS, BUT IT IS YET UNCOVERED IN OTHER YEARS, ALTHOUGH THERE IS DOCUMENTATION ONLINE OF THIS ISSUE BEING SEEN IN FUTURE YEARS' MODELS (INCLUDING MY 2010 MODEL).

WHEN FILLING UP WITH FUEL AT THE PUMP, THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ON THE PUMP WILL CLICK OFF AND THEN A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL WILL COME SPILLING BACK OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. IT DOES THIS AT ALMOST EVERY FILL UP REGARDLESS OF THE TEMPERATURE, PUMP OR GAS STATION USED.

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY. THE PROBLEM OCCURS ANYTIME THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSIS AT MY COST AND FOUND THE CLOCK SPRING TO BE DEFECTIVE. SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS 99355 MILES THE WARRANTY WAS DECLINED. THE CASE NUMBER WAS 29098917.

WHILE DRIVING THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. AFTER DIAGNOSIS I FOUND OUT THAT THE CLOCK SPRING IS AT FAULT AND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL? THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE WRANGLERS BUT NO THE LEFT HAND DRIVE. WHY IS THIS? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I THINK NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP.

TIPM PROBLEM. CODE READER CODES ARE B10EC BLOWER MOTOR OVER CURRENT, B219A IGNITION START/ LOCK UNLOCK OVER CURRENT. SUGGESTED FIX, REPLACE TIPM. QUOTED FROM JEEP TO REPAIR IS $1100.00

MY WIFE PARKED OUR JEEP AT THE TOP OF DRIVEWAY. CAR WAS PLACED IN PARK AND SHE GOT OUT OF THE CAR. SHE WENT TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THEN BACK SEAT AND COULD NOT OPEN THE DOORS. SHE REALIZED THE KEYS WERE IN THE IGNITION AND SHE SHUT THE CAR OFF AND PULLED OUT THE KEYS. WHEN SHE DID THIS, THE JEEP STARTED ROLLING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY DRAGGING HER ALONG. VEHICLE THREW HER AND RAN OVER BOTH LEGS AND HAD OTHER INTERNAL INJURIES AS WELL AS SEVERE CONCUSSION.

YESTERDAY WHILE TRAVELING WITH MY 2 YOUNG GRANDCHILDREN, I EXPERIENCED SOMETHING KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE", A VIOLENT VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES YESTERDAY AND TWICE TODAY. ALL TIMES I WAS TRAVELING ON A FREEWAY AT AROUND 55 MPH. IT BEGAN TO WOBBLE AS I ENTERED A CURVE IN THE ROAD. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SLOW AND PULL TO THE SHOULDER EACH TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I'M ESPECIALLY CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO MY 2007 WRANGLER. WHY HAS JEEP NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM? IT'S BOTH TERRIFYING AND EXPENSIVE TO FIX. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER JEEP.
