2011 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

REALLY ANNOYING AND VERY DANGEROUS!! EACH TIME WE FILL UP OUR 2011 JEEP WRANGLER WITH FUEL, JUST AS THE PUMPS AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF CLICKS, FUEL WILL BLOW OUT AND ALL OVER WHOEVER IS HOLDING THE PUMP HANDLE. THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN, EXCEPT FOR THE CLICK FROM THE PUMP HANDLE A SPLIT SECOND BEFORE YOU GET DOUSED. WE CHECKED WITH OUR JEEP DEALER TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL, AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOT, HOWEVER IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE "INLET CHECK VALVE"; A MECHANICAL ITEM THAT APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE, AND A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN, BUT IS SOMEHOW NOT UNDER WARRANTEE. WE WENT ON-LINE TO RESEARCH AND FOUND SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES, INCLUDING 2007-2009 JEEP WRANGLERS. REALLY AGGRAVATING TO FIND OUT THERE HAD BEEN PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, CHRYSLER KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, BUT BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2011 YEAR, IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED A REAL CONCERN

TOOK 2011 JEEP JK TO CAR WASH. AFTERWARDS "SWAY" BAR LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH. SHUT CAR OFF, RESTARTED AND RAN THROUGH DISCONNECT PROCEDURES- PUT TRANS/DIFF IN NEUTRAL AND HIT DISCONNECT BUTTON- LIGHT WENT OFF. WHILE DRIVING JEEP TO WORK NEXT MORNING, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD FLASHED AND CAR SHUT OFF. JEEP WOULD NOT START. TIPM WAS FRIED WITH DISCONNECT MOTOR. WATER HAD GOT INTO CONNECTION BY SWAY BAR DISCONNECT MOTOR. THEY ARE NOT WATER TIGHT. HAVE READ OTHER STORIES OF HAPPENING DURING RAIN STORMS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH, AND I EXPERIENCED A WOBBLE/VIBRATION/SHAKING IN THE STEERING. I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 40MPH, AND ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION. A FEW DAYS LATER, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AGAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH, AND MY JEEP STARTED VIOLENTLY WOBBLING/SHAKING/VIBRATION TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD BARELY MAINTAIN CONTROL OF MY JEEP. UPON SLOWING DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 35MPH, THE JEEP CONTINUED TO WOBBLE/SHAKE/VIBRATE VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD. I CHECKED TIRES FOR LOOSENESS AND DID NOT FIND THAT THEY WERE LOOSE. I GOT BACK IN MY JEEP AND CONTINUED TO MY DESITINATION DRIVING UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH WITH MY FOUR WAY HAZARD LIGHTS FLASHING BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID OF LOSING CONTROL OF MY JEEP. ONCE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION, I PROCEEDED TO PULL OFF THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE TO CHECK FOR ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE WOBBLE/VIBRATION/SHAKING. NOTHING LOOKED DAMAGED/LOW ON FLUID/BROKEN SO I PUT THE TIRE BACK ON. I THEN PROCEEDED TO A TIRE BUSINESS AND HAD ALL FOUR TIRES BALANCED AND ROTATED. THE WOBBLE/SHAKING/VIBRATION SEEMED TO IMPROVE BUT THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. THE JEEP CONTINUED TO WOBBLE/SHAKE/VIBRATE WHEN TRYING TO SLOW DOWN THEREFORE THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. THE STEERING STABILIZER HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED WHICH SEEMS TO MAKE THIS ISSUE WORSE AND THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES/CONCERNS.

I TOOK IT A MONTH AGO THEY TOLD ME THEIR MACHINE WOULDNT PICK IT UP BUT THEY SAID THEY THOUGHT IT HAS TO DO WITH ANTI BRAKING SYSTEM. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME
