2010 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES ON MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER BEGAN TO LEAK AT THE HOSE-TO-TUBE CRIMP JOINTS. THERE WAS NO OTHER WEAR TO THE LINES - ONLY THE FAILURE OF THE HOSE-TO-CRIMP AREA. THE COOLER LINES HAD TO BE FULLY REPLACED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER ISSUED A DOCUMENT COVERING 2008-2010 JEEP WRANGLER ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES WEEPING AT THE HOSE-TO-TUBE CRIMP JOINTS, BUT THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO COVER MY VIN FOR THE YEAR. FURTHER VINS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE FIX, AS IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MORE JEEPS THAN THEY HAVE PREVIOUSLY INCLUDED. *TR

I HAVE A LHD JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SPORT. IT IS A 2010 AND THE ISSUE THAT IS OCCURRING IS THE CLOCKSPRING HAS GONE BAD. THE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE AIR BAG IN ABOUT MAY AND ONCE I SAW HOW MUCH IT WAS TO FIX IT I JUST DECIDED TO DEAL WITH THE ANNOYING BEEP. AFTER RESEARCHING JEEP FORUMS, I'VE SEEN THAT CHRYSLER CORP HAS BEEN PRETTY NEGLIGENT IN ADDRESSING THE ISSUE BY SAYING THE RECALL ONLY APPLIES FOR RHD VEHICLES. IF YOU'RE HAVING NUMEROUS REPORTS OF A PROBLEM BUT IN A LHD VEHICLE WHY WOULDN'T YOU OWN UP TO IT? I'M NOT SURE IF PEOPLE NEED TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THEY OWN UP TO IT OR WHAT BUT ITS PRETTY RIDICULOUS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR WAS FAULTY, WHICH CAUSED FUEL TO SPEW BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN REFUELING. THE FAILURE RECURRED AT EVERY FILLUP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. MA 08/05/15 UPDATED 8/24/2015 *JS

GAS WILL OVERFLOW AT VERY FILL UP, ESPECIALLY WHEN USING THE AUTO-FILL LEVER LATCH ON THE PUMP HANDLE. MANY TIMES, THE GAS HAS SPRAYED AND SOAKED THE ATTENDANT FILLING MY CAR (I LIVE IN NJ AND CANNOT FILL THE VEHICLE MYSELF). THE IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AS MANY GALLONS HAVE BEEN SPILLED DURING SINGLE INCIDENTS. MOST RELEASES ARE APPROXIMATELY A 1/10 OF A GALLON OR LESS BUT ONCE A MONTH OR SO, IT IS VERY SEVERE AND WILL CONTINUE TO SPRAY GAS UNTIL SOMEONE MANUALLY RELEASES THE LEVER. *JS

THE PROBLEM HAPPENED 3 TIMES. TWO AT VERY LOW SPEEDS DURING THE DAY, AND ONCE AT NIGHT AT HIGH SPEED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING THE JEEP AND THE ENGINE STALLED. IT WAS HARD TO STEER, BUT I WAS MOVING SLOW. I THOUGHT IT WAS A WEIRD FLUKE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT WITH NO PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME IT MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, WE HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE JEEP STALLED. THE BREAKS DON'T WORK WELL, AND THE STEERING IS DIFFICULT. HE PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT WITH NO PROBLEM. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED, WAS ON JANUARY 10, 2015. I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH MY CHILD ON A LONG TRIP. I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE JEEP FOR SEVERAL HOURS ON THE INTERSTATE. IT HAPPENED AT AROUND 10:00 PM - IT WAS VERY DARK. I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE GOING ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED, THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WENT OUT, DASHBOARD WENT DARK, AND I KNEW FROM THE PREVIOUS TWO TIMES, THAT IF I APPLIED THE BREAKS OR TRIED TO STEER, IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT. I DECIDED THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO LOOK DOWN AND TRY TO FIND NEUTRAL AND ACCIDENTALLY PUT IT IN A LOW GEAR. SO I TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON (ENGINE, LIGHT INSIDE AND OUT, POWER STEERING, AND POWER BREAKS) WHILE THE JEEP WAS IN DRIVE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANS RANGE SENSOR WENT BAD. MY MAIN CONCERN IS - WHY IS THE ENGINE STALLING AND JEEP LOSING ALL POWER WHILE MOVING WHEN THE SENSOR GOES BAD? THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT TO LET ME KNOW A SENSOR WAS BAD. ARE ALL JEEPS DESIGNED WITH THIS SENSOR, AND WILL ALL JEEPS EXPERIENCE THE SAME THING IF THEIR TRANS RANGE SENSOR GOES BAD, OR WAS IT JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED WITH MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE? *TR

WHEN FILLING MY GAS TANK GAS SPRAYS ALL OVER IF I COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK. GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER PIPE AND GOES EVERYWHERE. THIS IS DANGEROUS! IT IS ESPECIALLY BAD IN COLD WEATHER.

WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS I WOULD GET AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND CHIME ASSOCIATED WITH STEERING INPUTS. CONTACTED SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAID NO RECALL EXISTS AND IM OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. LOOKED UP RECALLS AND FAILED COMPONENTS COMMON TO MY COMPLAINT. FOUND THE EXACT PROBLEM ON MY JEEP UP TO 2009 AND ANOTHER RECALL FOR MY YEAR JEEP BUT ONLY RIGHT HANDED STEERING MODELS. DID MORE RESEARCH AND THE SAME PART NUMBER COMPONENT IS USED IN ALL OF THEM IN THIS YEAR GROUP BUT MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED. THIS IS A GROSS NEGLECT TO ADDRESS A KNOW SAFETY CONCERN AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE JEEP WAS BOUGHT NEW, AND AIRBAGS SHOULD BE WARRANTIED FOR LONGER THAN 36,000 MILES. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE BEING RECALLED FOR EVERY YEAR AND MODEL AROUND MINE AND I HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE THE PUMP SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. THERE WAS THEN A SURGE OF GASOLINE THAT CAME OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND SOAKED THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED THE LAST 3 TIMES I HAVE REFUELED. ALL 3 TIMES WERE AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. *TR

AT THE END OF ATTEMPTING TO FILL OUR GAS TANK, FUEL EXPELLED FROM THE TANK BACK OUT ONTO MY HUSBAND, THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND THE GROUND AROUND THE PORT. THIS EXPERIENCE HAS REPEATED ITSELF AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND IN DIFFERENT OUTDOOR CONDITIONS (RAINY, SUNNY, SNOW, ETC.). WE PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER THAT DEMONSTRATED THE SAME ISSUE AND A REPAIR WAS MADE AS THAT MODEL YEAR WAS WITHIN A PREVIOUS RECALL RANGE. BEFORE WE PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE (USED) WE CHECKED THE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR RECORDS AND KNEW THIS ISSUE HAD NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED. SO, WE WERE SURPRISE TO EXPERIENCE IT. WE WERE EVEN MORE SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT GOING TO ASSUME THE RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THIS KNOW DEFECT ISSUE FOR A LATER MODEL (WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN FIXED?) WITH LITTLE CONCERN FOR PERSONAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY FOR FAMILIES WHEN REPORTED. ALL ATTEMPTS TO CONVERSE WITH CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVES ABOUT THIS HAVE RESULTED IN A "IT'S YOUR PROBLEM" ATTITUDE - NO RECALL, NO WARRANTY AND WRONG MODEL YEAR - AND ABSOLUTELY PUSHING US TO TAKE IT UP WITH THE DEALER TO GET FIXED. OUR DEALER IS AN HONEST, HARDWORKING BUSINESS AND WE KNOW IT'S NOT HIS ISSUE . . . IT'S CHRYSLER'S. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. THIS IS MY PRIMARY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I DRIVE THREE SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN IN THIS CAR. IT WAS TO BE THE CAR MY SOON-TO-BE LICENSED DRIVERS WERE TO HAVE. *TR

THE FUEL SHUTOFF FOR FILLING UP THE TANK NO LONGER WORKS. IF YOU FILL UP THE VEHICLE, WHEN THE SHUTOFF CLICKS FUEL GUSHES OUT. WHEN YOU REMOVE THE FUEL NOZZLE, MORE FUEL GUSHES OUT. I USE THE TERM GUSH BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SMALL AMOUNT BUT QUITE A BIT OF FUEL. *TR
