2010 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

NEVER KNEW THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE UNTIL RECENTLY BUT FOR 5 YEARS, SINCE THE FIRST FILL UP OF GAS, THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ON THE PUMP POPS FOLLOWED BY A SPURTING OF GASOLINE OUT OF MY TANK. IT GETS EVERYWHERE. ON ME, MY CLOTHES, MY SHOES, THE GROUND, NOT TO MENTION ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND THE FENDER.

MY HEADLIGHTS AND MARKER LIGHTS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF UNLESS I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON AND NOT SHUT OFF. CHANGED OUT THE ACCESSORY SWITCH AND THAT DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING. CHANGED SOME FUSES AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE RESOLVED. THE NEXT DAY MY JEEP WOULDN'T START. JUMPED IT WITHOUT A PROBLEM AND ABOUT A HALF A MILE DOWN THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. MY JEEP ENGINES MOTOR STALLED WHILE IN MOTION ON A BUSY CITY STREET WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 40 MPH, FORTUNATELY I HAD JUST STARTED SLOWING DOWN FOR THE RED LIGHT SO AN ACCIDENT DID NOT OCCUR. I SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY ROAD FOR TEN MINUTES WAITING FOR THE POLICE TO PUSH ME TO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT. DUE TO THESE SYMPTOMS AND THE PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION (NHTSA DEFECT INVESTIGATION #DP14004), I BELIEVE I HAVE A FAULTY TIPM. THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP IN HUBBARD, OHIO LOOKED OVER THE JEEP FOR BAD GROUNDS AND WIRES AND NOTHING WAS FOUND. ON MARCH 6, 2016, THE JEEP'S HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF UNLESS THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF, THE FOG LIGHTS LIGHT ON THE DASH FLASHED AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD COME ON WITH THE FOG LIGHT SWITCH. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN I SHUT THE JEEP OFF AND REMOVED THE KEY, SO I DEALT WITH THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW DAYS UNTIL IT WENT AWAY ON ITS OWN. I'M HOPING THIS IS THE LAST OF MY TIPM ISSUES.

THE JEEP WAS TURNED OFF AND STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION AND WHEN FILING UP WITH GAS THE GAS PULSATES OUT OF THE OPENING AND SPEWS OUT ALL OVER JEEP AND GROUND. ALSO NOT SURE IF RELATED THE NEXT DAY THE GAS CAP CODE CAME ON.

WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK, IT WILL OVERFLOW AND ABOUT A GALLON OF GAS WILL COME OUT AND GO ALL OVER THE GROUND. IT HAPPENS AT MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND IS A HAZARD TO PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT .

WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK FUEL WILL SPILL OUT OF THE FILLER SPOUT. IT SEEMS TO BE UNDER PRESSURE WHEN THE TANK IS ALMOST FULL....VERY DANGEROUS...IF YOU DO NOT STOP THE PUMP PRIOR TO A FULL TANK OF GAS IT WILL SPILL OUT EVERY TIME

AIRBAG DASH LIGHT AND WARNING CHIME COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. CODE SHOWS - B1B02 - DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB 1 CIRCUIT OPEN. CLOCK SPRING IS SUSPECT, BUT THE HORN & CRUISE CONTROL ARE STILL FUNCTIONAL. THIS CONDITION HAPPENS AT ALL TIMES, WHETHER STATIONARY, MOVING OR TURNING.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AND CHARM COME ON, FAILED CLOCK SPRING, VERY COMMON ISSUE ON THESE JEEP WRANGLERS, VERY DANGEROUS AS AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A COLLISION.

GAS TANK OVERFLOW ON EVERY FILLUP. ON SOME PUMPS I CAN ONLY PUMP 1/3 OF A GALLON AT A TIME VERY SLOWLY. IT SEEMS CLEAR THAT THE CHECK VALVE IS HAVING SOME KIND OF ISSUE AS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM IN THESE JEEPS. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM AND CHARGES ALMOST DOUBLE WHAT A NEW TANK WOULD COST TO DIAGNOSE AND REPLACE THE TANK.

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER PORT DURING THE REFUELING PROCESS. THIS CONDITION GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO THE FULL OR NEARLY FULL LEVEL AND THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OR CLICKS OFF. THE FUEL SPLASHES ON THE PERSON FUELING THE CAR, THE CAR ITSELF, AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY, NOT JUST A SINGLE OCCURRENCE. HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS PUMPS, SLOWING THE PUMP WHEN IT GETS TO ALMOST FULL, AND FINALLY NOW JUST NOT FILLING UP COMPLETELY DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS OF FUEL SPILLING ONTO GROUND/DRIVER/VEHICLE. DATE GIVEN IS MOST RECENT OCCURENCE, WHILE IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER 6 MONTHS.
