2010 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE I MUST BE CAREFUL I CANNOT FILL MY TANK. IT OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS CREATING A HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT THAT IS DANGEROUS TO MY FAMILY AND OTHERS. YESTERDAY IN THE PUMP IT GOT SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS WHEN THE THE SPILL RAN OUT OF CONTROL. *TR

WHEN HITTING BUMPS THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHAKES. "DEATH WOBBLE" LOSE CONTROL UNTIL I CAN STOP JEEP. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE FUEL PUMPS DO NOT SHUT OFF AND FUEL SPILLS OUT. THE VEHICLE IS ALLOWED TO BE OVERFILLED. THE GAS TANK NEEDS TO FORCE THE GAS PUMPS TO STOP WHEN FULL. FUEL ON MOST OCCASIONS SPLASHES AND SPILLS ON THE PERSON FUELING THE VEHICLE. THIS CREATES SAFELY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. A FIRE IS WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

WHEN FUELING UP THE GAS TANK THE FILLER TUBE VALVE WILL NOT STOP FUEL FROM OVERFLOWING AND SPILLING ALL OVER THE PLACE. OCCURS EVERY TIME WHEN FILLING UP. *TR

FUEL TANK SPITS OUT GAS AFTER AUTO FILL AT FUEL-UPS, DEALER CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH TANK. SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER, WITHOUT A DIAGNOSIS, THEY SAY IT IS A ANNOYANCE AND NOT NECESSARILY A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

DURING GAS FILL UP, WHEN THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY STOPS, FUEL COMES GUSHING OUT OF THE FUEL FILL ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. *TR

WHEN FUELING UP AT THE GAS PUMPS, IF YOU PUT THE PUMP ON AUTO, THE PUMP HANDLE WILL SHUTOFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, BUT SPEWS ABOUT A HALF GALLON OF FUEL BACK UP AND OUT ON THE VEHICLE AND YOUR HAND (IF ON THE PUMP HANDLE). DOES IT EVERY TIME. ONLY WORK AROUND I HAVE COME UP WITH IS TO FUEL UP, CLOSE TO FULL, THEN SLOWLY FEATHER UP TO FULL, OR ON LOWEST PUMP SETTING. OTHERWISE YOU HAVE FUEL DUMPING OUT ALL OVER, WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2010 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED ON JULY 11, 2013. IT HAD JUST UNDER 10K MILES ON IT. WITHIN THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF DRIVING IT, I HEAR AND FEEL A THUMP IN THE STEERING, WHILE DRIVING. IT IS NOT A NORMAL NOISE FROM SUSPENSION WORKING. THE ISSUE HAS GONE ON AND ON. LATER AT ABOUT 18K MILES, I BEGAN HAVING DEATH WOBBLE ISSUES. I HAVE HAD IT TO 2 SHOPS AND INSPECTED THINGS MYSELF. BALL JOINTS, WHEEL BEARINGS, TIE RODS/ENDS, STEERING STABILIZER, YOU NAME IT. I FINALLY AFTER SEVERAL SCARY EVENTS, AND CONTINUALLY HAVING SHOPS TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, HAVE FOUND THE ISSUE. WITH 25K MILES, I AM HAVING TO HAVE THE STEERING GEAR BOX REPLACED. THE SECTOR SHAFT IS SHOT. THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER, SO UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE NO OPTION BUT TO DRIVE IT AND HOPE I MAKE IT TO AND FROM SAFELY, AS WELL AS THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I BELIEVE AFTER A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE JEEP FORUMS, THAT JEEP HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR BOX, AND THAT IT IS ONE OF THE COMMON CAUSES OF DEATH WOBBLE IN THE JK MODELS. I AM TAKING MINE IN TOMORROW TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I HAVE ONLY 25K MILES ON IT, BUT IT IS 4YRS OLD. SO, I AM SURE I WILL END UP STUCK WITH THE BILL ON THIS. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 JEEP JK UNLIMITED 4X4. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED FROM A LOCAL DEALER IN JULY OF 2013, WITH APPROX. 10K MILES ON IT. AT ABOUT 18K MILES, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE COMMON DREADED "DEATH WOBBLE". I WAS DRIVING DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEATS. ALL OF A SUDDEN, WHILE HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN RAPIDLY MOVING BACK AND FORTH AND THE FRONTEND OF THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I QUICKLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE, CHECKED ON MY NOW FRIGHTENED CHILDREN, THEN GO OUT TO EXAMINE MY VEHICLE. I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING OBVIOUS, LIKE TIE RODS OR BALL JOINTS. SO, I SLOWLY DROVE HOME. I WENT OVER THE ENTIRE FRONT END. COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. AFTER READING A LOT OF FORUMS ON THE MATTER, I FOUND I AM ONE OF MANY JEEP OWNERS THAT HAVE/ARE FIGHTING THIS SAME ISSUE. I WENT AHEAD AND PUT ON A NEW STEERING STABILIZER, AND TRACKBARS, AS THESE ARE CLAIMED TO BE THE MOST COMMON ISSUES (EVEN THOUGH MINE LOOKED FINE AND HAD NO PLAY). I CONTINUALLY HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD IT TO SHOP FOR AN ALIGNMENT, TIRE ROTATIONS, AND CHECKING THE BALANCING ON THE TIRES. THE SHOP SAID TIRES AND ALIGNMENT WERE FINE. WE FOUND THAT THERE WAS SOME PLAY IN THE SECTOR SHAFT WHERE THE PITMAN ARM CONNECTS TO THE STEERING GEARBOX. SOME GUYS ARE SAYING THEY HAVE REPLACED THEIRS 3 TIMES IN 30K MILES. I DON'T OFFROAD, MY VEHICLE ISN'T EXPOSED TO HARSH CONDITIONS, WHERE ONE COULD EXPECT MECHANICAL FAILURES. I CURRENTLY HAVE 26K MILES ON MINE, AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND OUT THE CAUSE, MEANWHILE THROWING $$ AND PARTS ON IT TO TRY AND FIND THE ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING AND SEEING THE LARGE AMOUNT OF OWNERS FIGHTING DEATH WOBBLE AND THE COMPONENT FAILURES WHICH CAUSE IT, I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO SOME LEVEL. I THINK THEY SHOULD BE RECOGNIZING THE PROBLEM AND THE LARGE SCALE OF IT, AND OFFERING SOME TYPE OF SOLUTION TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR
