2010 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

AIR BAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON. ALL FUSES CHECKED NO ISSUES, ALL WIRING HARNESSES CHECKED, NO ISSUES, DEALERSHIP INFORMS IT MAY BE CLOCK SPRING WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER PREVIOUS RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOBBLED AND JERKED VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE BALANCED. THE TIRES WERE BALANCED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN ABOUT 20MPH, FIRST ON LINE TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ON ABOUT 20 T0 25 FEET BEFORE THE INTERSECTION AND LIGHT WAS RED, AND WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED IT DID NOT STOP AND THE VEHICLE KEPT MOVING AND IT WAS STOPPED BY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. A BURNING SMELL GOT INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND PEOPLE STOPPED YELLING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. WHEN THE HOOD WAS OPENED AND THE FIRE PUT OUT WE NOTICES THAT THE FIRE STARTED AT THE BRAKES PUMP SENSOR. IT BURNED ALL THE WIRING AROUND THERE TO INCLUDE PLASTIC COVER OF LEFT HAND SIDE WHEEL, THE STEERING COLUMN RUBBER JOINT, SENSORS, THE HOOD AND OTHER PARTS IN THAT SIDE.

FUEL OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. IF I FILL THE TANK TO THE AUTO SHUTOFF POINT A FAIR AMOUNT OF FUEL SPITS OUT AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD, AND NOT VERY GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. SO NOW I ONLY PUT THREE FOURTHS IN SO I DON'T HAVE IT POURING OUT AND ONTO MY JEEP

GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT UPON FULL TANK, PUMP NOZZLE ON AUTO FILL. START TO REMOVE NOZZLE AND GAS SHOOTS OUT OF FILLER TUBE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER LAST TWO YEARS. GAS GETS ON CLOTHES AND SKIN. I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V176000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE ON ACTIVATION OF THE HEADLIGHT CIRCUIT VIA CONTROL STALK. LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER IN A SPECIFIC PATTERN THEN GO DARK. ACTIVATING HIGH BEAM CIRCUIT REPEATED THE CYCLE WITH HIGH BEAM ILLUMINATION. COMPLETE RESET OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (BATTERY DISCONNECTED FOR HOUR +) WOULD CLEAR UP THE ISSUE FOR ~2-3 HOURS OF OPERATION BEFORE PROBLEM RESUMED. REQUIRED DEALER REPLACEMENT OF TIPM AS HEADLIGHT CONTROL CIRCUIT IS A PART OF THAT MODULE. TIPM WAS ON BACKORDER WHEN PROBLEM FIRST SURFACED, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS MODEL OF TIPM MAY BE THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE. VEHICLE WAS UNDRIVABLE FOR COMMUTE DURING EARLY MORNING/EVENING HOURS DUE TO LACK OF FORWARD ILLUMINATION. ALL OTHER VEHICLE LIGHTING AND ACCESSORIES FUNCTIONED CORRECTLY.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND WARNING SOUND GOES OFF INTERMITTENTLY. RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME SYMPTOMS. APPEARS TO BE A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING FOR WHICH CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL BUT ONLY ON RIGHT HAND DRIVES. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY DON'T BELIEVE IT IS AN ISSUE. I'M CONCERNED THAT MY AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. IF THIS IS AN ISSUE IN RIGHT HAND DRIVES, NOT SURE WHY IT WOULD NOT APPLY TO ALL. THEY DO USE THE SAME CLOCK SPRING.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. EVERY TIME WE ATTEMPT TO FILL UP THE FUEL TANK, THE PUMP DOESN'T CUT OFF AND GAS SPEWS ALL DOWN THE JEEP AND WHOEVER IS PUMPING THE FUEL. I DID SOME INTERNET RESEARCH AND FOUND IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP AND HAD HOPED THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED BY NOW TO FIX. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE GAS TANK HAS TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT A COST OF $1,300 AND THAT THE TANKS WERE ON BACKORDER. SINCE I DON'T THINK IT IS SAFE FOR MY DAUGHTER TO PUMP THE GAS, I WILL CONTINUE TO DO IT FOR HER BUT I THINK GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS AND THE SAFETY ISSUES, A RECALL IS IMMINENT. *TR

PROBLEM LIGHT FOR THE SUSPENSION DISCONNECT CAME ON. DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR BECAUSE IT WAS FULL OF WATER AND SHORTED OUT. COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER PROBLEM WITH SUSPENSION, THE TIPM MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT TIME ALL PROBLEM LIGHTS ON DASH BOARD LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND VEHICLE COULD NOT BE STARTED. HAD TO BE TOWED. *TR
