2010 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while her son was driving 60 MPH, he experienced what was commonly known as the "death wobble"; where the vehicle would shake uncontrollably without warning until the vehicle slowed down and resumed normal operation. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer where they were initially unable to diagnose the failure. After a technician test drove the vehicle and successfully duplicated the failure, the dealer diagnosed that the steering damper and the driver’s side front wheel bearing needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and denied any knowledge of the "death wobble". The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer and had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

I have a blank instrument cluster, my lights are on and wipers run constantly. No warning before this happened. I cannot turn wipers off or control lights. No safety at night with no interior lights and not to mention. I cannot know how much fuel I have. I have found from research that many Jeep Wrangler owners have the same issue from reading forums. I can disconnect the negative battery cable and it temporarily resets then reverts to the same problem. I have also checked the multifunction switch as I was told could be causing the issue and this is not the case because the issue is still there when the switch was unplugged. I then checked the instrument cluster . Unplugged and plugged back in with only a momentary reset and then back where I started. This is not safe and very frustrating when I know there are Many people with the same issue.

HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE JEEP KNOWS ABOUT A TIPM ISSUE BUT WILL NOT FIX IT. TIPM issue. This issue is common and described across the web but is a safety hazard! The headlights will flash 3-5 times then completely shut off. Restarting the Jeep and disconnecting the battery does not help. Jeep dealer says circuit in the TIPM is the issue and that this is common! Lordy have mercy for all the vecs on the road when my headlights started flashing at them and then went out on, of course, an unlit section of the road. But the crazier part is Jeep knew this could happen and doesn't warn the customers. I sure did not know that I might be driving blind at night becoming a safety hazard. The lights then decide to not work for a few days before going back to being reliable for anywhere from weeks to months until you happen to drive at night again and bam they go out again. Luckily the runner/ fog lights are unaffected but as a primary vehicle I can not just keep taking ubers every time it is dark outside! This is such a serious safety issue to loose your lights while driving! There are two common fixes for this. One you buy the TIPM or two you buy non stock headlights and reroute them to your own switch but for most of us, buying a part that Jeep knows will break is crazy and not practical (plus WE the consumer didn't know it would) and the alternative of having to buy a different company's lights to buy pass the wiring in just crazy. It is such a serious issue I do not understand why there is no recall! I'm also so unsure if I can even pass a safety inspection anymore. Also the automatic fuel stopper does not work which is ANOTHER know glitch with the TIPM. This is okay if you know about it because you can hold the handle the whole time while filling up but you can not trust it alone. It isn't like it is all the time either. Just enough to keep you on your toes and plosion the ground with spillage. The first time is scary though.

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE FUEL SHUTOFF PROBLEM SINCE IT WAS NEW. WHEN THE FUEL IS BEING PUT IN THE TANK THE FUEL WILL NOT SHUT OFF. THE FUEL SQUIRTS BACK OUT OF THE TANK, APPROX 1/2 GALLON. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS A RECALL HOSE ON THE JEEP JK MODELS WHICH ARE UP TO MODEL 2008 0R 2009 WHICH HAS BEEN ADRESSED. THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS ALL JEEP JK MODELS. I HAVE FOUND A HOSE THAT IS THE REPLACEMENT PART BUT THE DEALER WILL NOT SELL IT TO ME SAYING ITS A RECALL PART. I WANT THIS PART SO I CAN FIX MY JEEP. I AM A CERTIFIED MERCEDES BENX TECH AND WANT TO FIX IT OR TAKE IT TO HAVE THAT PART PUT ON.

The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V290000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The local dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and scheduled an appointment however, the dealer stated that the part was still not available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

DEALER IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH A COURTESY VEHICLE DURING THE RECALL WORK AND THE RECALL TAKES SEVERAL DAYS TO COMPLETE. FORCING ME TO PAY FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE DURING THE RECALL REPAIR IS A COST TO ME TO GET THE RECALL CORRECTED.

GAS POURS OUT WHEN FILLED UP AND GOES ALL OVER THE JEEP AND THE CONCRETE WHICH IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AT GAS PUMP

VEHICLE'S SENSOR DOES NOT TELL GAS PUMP WHEN TO STOP FILLING WITH GAS AND SPRAYS OUT ONTO THE CONCRETE AND VEHICLE. CAUSING A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AND POLLUTANT.

RPM FLUCTUATING RAPIDLY, LOSS OF POWER, THEN IT STARTS A DEATH WOBBLE THAT IS ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE THAT IS SIDE TO SIDE. WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME.
