2010 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

IN APPROX NOV OF 2012 I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH FUEL OVERFLOWING ON GROUND/FEET WHEN FILLING GAS TANK. THERE WOULD BE A QUART OR BETTER OF FUEL THAT WOULD SPILL. AFTER THE FOURTH OCCURANCE I HAD DEALERSHIP CHECK IT OUT WHILE IN FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. ON FEBRUARY 6, 2013, I WAS ADVISED THAT THE VENT HAD FAILED ON THE GAS TANK AND THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS A MINIMUN THREE WEEK BACK ORDER ON JEEP GAS TANKS FROM CHRYSLER. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY ARE SEEING A HIGH NUMBER OF FILLER NECK AND TANK FAILURES, CAUSING THE DELAY IN OBTAINING PARTS. I WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT A RECALL, BUT I AM STILL COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. NOW JEEP FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL WHILE IDILING. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THIS IS PROBABLY RELATED TO THE GAS TANK NOT VENTING. *TR

WHEN YOU HIT SPEEDS OF 55 MPH OR ABOVE AND HIT A SMALL BUMP, MY JEEP STARTS TO SHAKE. TOOK IT IN TO JEEP AND THEY STATED THAT IS IS CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE." CORRECT TERM IN THE WINTER, IN SNOW AND IN A JEEP. THIRD TIME IN THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THE ONLY CHANGE HAS BEEN THE STEERING STABILIZER WITHOUT SUCCESS. *TR

FUEL SPIT BACK DURING REFUELING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASSIONS NOW. WORRIED ABOUT POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. CHRYSLER/JEEP HAS NOT YET ISSUED A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THIS MODEL YEAR EVENTHOUGH INCIDENTS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE SAME REPORTED ISSUE IN 2007-2008 JEEP WRANGLER JKS FOR WHICH A WARRANTY EXTENSION WAS ISSUED. *TR

WHEN REFUELING, THE PUMP HANDLE CLICKS OFF AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME THE TANK SHOULD BE FULL. HOWEVER WHEN YOU PULL THE PUMP HANDLE OUT OF THE FILLER NECK, THE FUEL CONTINUES TO FLOW AS IF IT WERE NOT SHUT OFF. THIS OVERFLOW CAUSES FUEL TO SPEW OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ON THE CAR AND SURROUNDING AREA. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, MY JEEP STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND VIOLENTLY. I HAD NO CONTROL IN THE CAR, THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS PUSH THE BRAKES. I PULLED MY 6 SPEED JEEP INTO NEUTRAL AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND LETTING IT GLIDE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. STILL SHAKING AS I AM SLOWING DOWN, THE JEEP FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END IS GOING TO SHAKE APART. ALL CARS BEHIND ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES BECAUSE THEY SAW I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY JEEP. A STATE POLICE TROOPER FOLLOWED ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. THERE IS NO BROKEN AXLES, LOOSE TIRES, TIRE PRESSURE IS GOOD. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING IN THE "EXPRESS SERVICE CENTER". THIS IS A 2010 WRANGLER WITH 75,000 MILES THAT IS DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY DAILY FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS "DEATH WOBBLE". *TR

WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK, I SET THE PUMP TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. UPON SHUTTING OFF, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS SPEWED OUT DOWN THE SIDE OF VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I HAVE FILLED UP SINCE. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS PUMPS AND STATION AND IT HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME I HAVE FILLED UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT POWERED OFF THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO STOP THE FAILURE. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED EXCESSIVELY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. THE AUTOMATIC THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR WARNING LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT TOLD WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 39,000. UPDATED 03/115/13*LJ THE DEALER REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND CLEARED THE CODE. UPDATED 04/10/13

WHILE FILLING UP MY GAS TANK I SET THE PUMP'S TRIGGER MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS FOR CONTINUOUS FLOW. PRIOR TO THE AUTOMATIC STOPPING OF THE PUMP A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SPEWED OUT FROM THE TANK. THIS RESULTED IN A TRAIL OF GASOLINE FROM MY TANK DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND ULTIMATELY A LARGE PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON THE PAVEMENT. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND THEN THE VEHICLE SPEWS GAS OUT OF THE FILL TUBE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT EVERY PUMP I HAVE USED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT ANGLES AND IT DOES NOT HELP. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED GAS GOT ALL OVER MY HANDS AND ALL OVER THE VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE PAINT WEARING AWAY AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE OF HAVING GAS UNDER THE VEHICLE. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT COMES OUT OF THE FILL TUBE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING ON DIFFERENT FORUMS. IT LOOKS LIKE A WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED FOR 2007 AND 2008 MODELS, BUT NOT 2010'S. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A PASTURE THE FUEL LINE IN OUR 2010 AUTOMATIC JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED BECAME DETACHED FROM THE CLIP THAT HOLDS IT IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (ACCORDING TO THE DEALER). THE PLASTIC PART IN THE FUEL LINE MELTED WHEN IT BECAME IN CONTACT WITH PART OF THE HOT EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE JEEP STOP RUNNING AND A SMALL FIRE STARTED BENEATH THE JEEP ON THE GRASS . WE PUSHED THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE WAY AND PUT THE FIRE OUT . THERE WAS NO FIRE DAMAGE TO THE JEEP. THE JEEP WAS REPAIRED AT LABELLE DODGE/CHRYSLER-JEEP, INC. PH: 1-800-226-1193 INVOICE NO. [XXX] WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WE WERE TOLD THAT HAPPEN BECAUSE WE TOOK THE JEEP OFF ROAD. THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.
