2010 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

JEEP WRANGLER 2DR SAHARA (LHD) MANUAL TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE JUMPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR AND GOES INTO NEUTRAL WITH A LOUD BANG. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. I FOUND OUT THAT YOU HAVE TO PUSH THE STICK INTO 1ST GEAR REAL WELL AND THE PROBLEM STOPS. *JS

DRIVING ON A 4 LANE ROADWAY AT 4 AM , SPEED WAS 55 MPH WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS FLASHED 4 TIMES AND THEN STAYED OFF. SINCE THIS FIRST OCCURENCE THIS HAS RANDOMLY HAPPENED. A MAINTENANCE VISIT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER IN MANASSAS, VA INDICATES A FAULTY TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER CONTROL MODULE (TIPM) FAILURE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROX 45MPH, THE JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE/JUMP UNCONTROLLABLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE TOOK IT INTO THE JEEP DEALER FROM WHOM WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. HE TIGHTENED THE TRACK BAR (??) AND REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER. WE EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT WE WERE BEGINNING A CROSS COUNTRY TRIP, SO HE SHOULD CHECK EVERYTHING. A WEEK OR SO LATER, WE BEGAN THE TRIP FROM FLORIDA TO CALIFORNIA. TWO DAYS INTO THE TRIP (EAST TEXAS), WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WE EXPERIENCED THE SHAKE AGAIN. WE HAD TO TOP THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST JEEP DEALERSHIP, DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS AT MINIMAL SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS. THERE WERE ALREADY TWO JEEPS IN THE SHOP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND WHILE WE WERE THERE, ANOTHER PERSON CAME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WE THEN CONTINUED OUR TRIP. TWO DAYS LATER, IN CALIFORNIA, WE AGAIN EXPERIENCED THE SHAKE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AGAIN, WE TOOK THE CAR TO A JEEP DEALER WHO SAID WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER. WE TOLD HIM IT HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE. HE NOTED THAT THE STABILIZER THAT COMES AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT WITH THE JEEP IS NOT ROBUST ENOUGH AND THAT MOST JEEPS WILL EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM IF NOT UPGRADED. WE ALSO REPORTED THIS SEQUENCE OF EVENTS TO JEEP. WE HAVE SINCE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM IS KNOW AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AND SEEMS TO BE QUITE PREVALENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, THE BAS/ESP AND ESC CAME ON FOR NO REASON. LIGHTS WILL NOT RESET. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 16,000 MILES THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON. HAVE TAKEN TO CERTIFIED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY MODULE AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, INCLUDING EXTENDED WARRANTY. READING ONLINE COMMENTS DISCOVERING JEEP DID A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE UP TO MODEL YEAR 2008 AND ALSO RECALLED RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS BEYOND 2008 FOR THIS ISSUE. IN MY OPINION THE ONLY REASON THEY ARE NOT RECALLING THIS FOR POST 2008 JEEPS IS THERE ARE TOO MANY ON THE ROAD, OVER 300,000. I ALSO HAVE ISSUE WITH THE DEALER (STETLER YORK, PA) DIAGNOSING AT $95.00 THEN STATING THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART AND NEED TO ORDER IT, IT HAS BEEN 3 WEEKS NOW. ADDITIONALLY, THEY, DEALER COULD NOT TELL US IF THE AIRBAG WOULD OPERATE CORRECTLY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. ONE FINAL NOTE, THE DEALER STATED THIS IS COMMON FROM JEEPS ROUGH RIDE. EXCUSE ME, THEY PROCLAIM/ADVERTISE RUGGED READINESS. I HAVE NEVER OFF ROAD-ED THIS VEHICLE. I AM COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS CONDITION. I THINK JEEP SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. REGARDS, [XXX] [XXX] YORK, PA. [XXX] PH. [XXX] SENT FROM MY IPAD INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45-60 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRE ROD END AND THE STEERING DAMPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE ROTATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,447.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL BIG ISSUES WITH MY JEEP IN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF. FIRST MY BRAKE CALIPER AND PISTON WERE FROZEN DUE TO THE FLUIDS NOT FLOWING PROPERLY ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC. 2 WEEKS LATER MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE MY CLOCK SPRING AND THE THIRD ISSUE WAS MY ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON AND THEN MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY ALTERNATOR WHICH WAS FAULTY AND THEN DRAINED MY BATTERY WHICH I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE. THESE THREE ISSUES HAVE COST ME OVER $1000.00 DOLLARS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I WAS WONDERING IF ANY OF THEM ARE A ISSUE WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS BECOMING I SAFETY ISSUE IN MY EYES. ESPECIALLY MY BRAKES AND AIRBAG ISSUE. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS FLASHING ON AND OFF . IT WILL SOMETIMES COME ON WHEN ENGINE IS STARTED OR AFTER DRIVING A FEW SECONDS. IT GOES ON AND OFF TEN OR TWELVE SECONDS AT A TIME. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE WRANGLER WITH RIGHT HAND DRIVE FOR A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING. THE SAME PART IS MOST LIKELY IN THE LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES. THERE ARE PROBABLY MANY MORE LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES IN THE U.S. *TR

THE JEEP BROKE THE COTTER/ SAFETY PIN [XXX] OF THE 4X4 SHIFTER CASE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHEN CROSSING A BUSY HIGHWAY THE SHIFTER/TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF GEAR WITH SUCH FORCE AS TO FEEL LIKE YOU WERE STRUCK FROM BEHIND. IT ALSO LEAVES YOU DEAD IN THE WATER SO TO SPEAK, WITH TRAFFIC COMING AT YOU. THIS WAS THE 1ST OF SEVERAL INCIDENTS LIKE THIS THAT HAS HAPPENED. THOUGH THESE INCIDENTS HAPPEN AT LOW SPEED THEY POSE THE THREAT OF INJURY OR DEATH FROM BEING STRUCK WHILE YOUR VEHICLE IS OUT OF GEAR. I REPORTED IT TO THE SELLING DEALER IT CAME FROM WHO REFERRED ME TO AMOCO TRANSMISSION TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT UNDER WARRANTY. AMMCO REFERRED ME TO GO TO A JEEP DEALER BECAUSE THERE IS A TSB CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. ONCE AGAIN I CONTACTED THE SELLING DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM TO SEE HOW THEY WANTED TO PROCEED. THEY CONTACTED THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT YES CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM BUT IT IS NOTHING THEY'RE FIXING UNDER WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE AND ARE GOING THROUGH WITH THEIR MANUAL TRANSMISSION EQUIPPED JEEP WRANGLERS. *TR
