2010 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON 10-5-15 WHEN A DRUNK DRIVER PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME, I HAD NO TIME TO STOP BUT WHEN MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HIT THEIR VEHICLE, I IMMEDIATELY SMELLED AND SAW SMOKE COMMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF MY JEEP. I DROVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I QUICKLY GOT OUT AND MADE IT JUST IN TIME BECAUSE THE VEHICLE QUICKLY BURST INTO FLAMES. MY AIRBAGS ALSO DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH I THOUGHT ODD BECAUSE I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 45 MPH AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.

THERE ARE RECALLS ALREADY FOR THE ISSUE BELOW FOR RIGHT HAND STEERING VEHICLES. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE APPLIED TO ALL JEEP WRANGLER VEHICLES 2007-2012. A BROKEN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT IN THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING WIRING ASSEMBLY CAN LEAD TO NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROPERLY PROTECT THE DRIVER IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURIES. ANYTIME THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IS MOVED FROM NEUTRAL/STRAIGHT POSITION THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND A CHIME IS HEARD.

I HAVE WHAT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE JEEP "DEATH WOBBLE". I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS. I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ENTERING A HIGHWAY WITH A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AS THERE WAS NO WHERE TO PULL OVER. THE JEEP WAS UNCONTROLLABLE AT 55 MPH.

AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL DEALER TELLS ME ITS THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING. WHEN I TURN ON MY BLINKER TO TURN LEFT IT DOESN'T TURN OFF SINCE I'VE BOUGHT IT. MY CAR HAS 66,567 MILES ON IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000.

CAR STALLED LOOSING ALL POWER AND DRIVABILITY DEALER CLAIMS THE ALTERNATOR WENT BAD AND FUSE ABLE LINK MELTED CAUSING ME TO NEED A WHOLE NEW WIRING SET

WHEN EXITING VEHICLE NOTICED A STRONG RAW GAS SMELL ON DRIVERS SIDE. VEHICLE WAS THEN PARKED IN GARAGE OVERNIGHT AND UPON ENTERING THE GARAGE THE NEXT MORNING, THE FUMES WERE SO STRONG THAT IMMEDIATE VENTILATION WAS NECESSARY. PROBLEM MAY COINCIDE WITH WHEN GAS TANK IS FILLED TO CAPACITY. PROBLEM REPEATED FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN DID NOT REOCCUR UNTIL GAS TANK WAS REFILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ILLUMINATE THE HEADLIGHTS, BUT THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

THE PROBLEM IS AND HAS BEEN WITH FIRST GEAR (6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION). WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER WAS ASKED ABOUT THE "POPPING-OUT" OF FIRST GEAR. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO DO SO WHILE THEY HAD IT IN THEIR POSSESSION. WITHIN THE LAST TWO (2) MONTHS IT HAS GOTTEN TO BE NOT ONLY AN ANNOYANCE, BUT A SAFETY ISSUE. SAFETY IN THAT PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC BECOMES AN "ADVENTURE." THERE IS NO CONFIDENCE THAT IT WILL NOT POP-OUT LEAVING THE VEHICLE MOMENTARILY IN A STALLED CONDITION WITH APPROACHING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ONE WEEK AGO IT WAS TAKEN AGAIN TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER. WARRANTY EXPIRED THIS PAST APRIL. THE PROBLEM WAS ACKNOWLEDGED AND THE COST FOR THEM TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WAS STATED TO BE $6,000. {NOTE: ONLINE WE HAVE NOTICED MANY CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO OURS. IN FACT, MANY JEEP DEALERS HAVE USED THE EXACT SAME LINE "WE COULD NOT GET IT TO OCCUR." APPARENTLY THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A TSB ISSUED BY JEEP ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF THE FIRST GEAR POPPING PROBLEM}

I WAS TRAVELING ON A COLD AND ICY ROAD AND INSIDE WAS COLD DUE TO THE HEATER CORE BEING FILLED WITH CASTING SAND. I CROSSED A RIVER AND THE DIFFERENCE IN HUMIDITY CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP AND FREEZE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD, BUT MANAGED TO STICK MY HEAD OUT THE WINDOW TO KEEP FROM CRASHING. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE TEMP WAS ABOUT 5 OUTSIDE. I WAS NEAR GRAND ISLAND NEBRASKA. SOUTH OF THE WALMART ON SOUTH LOCUST STREET.
