2010 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEAT BLOWS COLDER THAN THE PASSENGERS SIDE HEAT. PROBLEM LAYS WITH EITHER FAULTY HEATER CORE, AIR DIVERSION SWITCH, OR IMPROPER CHANNELING. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN SITTING IDLE, AND WHILE DRIVING. PREVENTS PROPER DEFROSTING MEASURES WHEN DRIVING IN COLD, WET WEATHER.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF AS I'M DRIVING, CONDITIONS (STREET OR HIGHWAY) ARE MORE PRONOUNCED WHILE CORNERING... THE CLOCK SPRING WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO, ITS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY APPROX 70 MPH (SPEED LIMIT) WHEN THE BATTERY LIGHT SENSOR NOTIFICATION CAME ON. MOVED OVER TO THE SLOW LANE TO GET OFF THE NEXT EXIT. WITHIN ~ 5 MILES OF DRIVING, THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. TOTAL ENGINE LOSS AND LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL INCLUDING POWER STEERING MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY EXIT THE LANE ONTO THE SHOULDER.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HIS DAUGHTER WHO OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE NUMBER 3 SPARK PLUG WIRE AND EGR VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. SOUTH COUNTY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (7127 S LINDBERGH BLVD, SAINT LOUIS, MO 63125, (888) 486-1749) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE EGR NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

MY REVERSE WENT OUT ON MY 42RLE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN MY WRANGLER AND I LOOKED IT UP AND SUPPOSEDLY THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY COMMON. LIKE STORY AFTER STORY AFTER STORY AFTER STORY AFTER STORY. THIS TRANSMISSION HAD A RECALL IN ITS EARLY DAYS WHERE IT WOULDN'T GO INTO PARK AND PEOPLE WERE CRASHING THEY FIXED THAT BUT EVER SINCE THIS TRANSMISSION CAME OUT ACCORDING TO GOOGLE. PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT SHOULDN'T JUST GO OUT LIKE THAT. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. WELL I WAS TRYING UNTIL I REALIZED THAT I WASN'T GOING ANYWHERE SO I HAD TO DRIVE OVER THE LITTLE HUMP THINGS. BUT MY REVERSE LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING COME ON BUT MY ENGINE JUST REVS. AND EVERYONE I'VE ASKED FROM PEOPLE IN NEW ORLEANS JEEP CLUB TO LOOKING IT UP ON GOOGLE EITHER HAS THIS PROBLEM OR HAD THIS PROBLEM OR KNOWS SOMEONE WHO EITHER HAS OR HAD THIS PROBLEM.

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF GAS TANK FILLER TUBE ONTO SIDE OF JEEP AND ONTO GROUND EVERY TIME FILL UP TANK. WIFE NORMALLY DRIVES JEEP AND DIDN'T TELL ME WHEN THIS STARTED HAPPENING, BUT I THINK HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR MORE THAN A YEAR BUT SHE DIDN'T INVESTIGATE IT ONLINE OR REPORT IT TO YOUR STAFF. THEN SHE WENT OUT OF TOWN FEW DAYS AGO AND WHEN I FILLED TANK ON 10/19/20 IT OVERFLOWED A VERY NOTICEABLE AMOUNT OF GAS ONTO SIDE OF JEEP WHEN USING AUTOMATIC PUMP SHUTOFF NOZZLE AT COSTCO. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATED FCA WAS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT IN 2007-2008 JEEP WRANGLERS AND TSB ISSUED IN 2011 TO COVER FREE REPAIR OF VALVE, BUT ALTHOUGH THIS IS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM, COULD NOT FIND RECALL OR TSB FOR 2010 JEEP WRANGLERS. QUICK CHECK ONLINE INDICATES MANY OTHERS WITH JEEP WRANGLERS BUILT AFTER 2008 HAVING EXACT SAME PROBLEM. NEVER HAD A VEHICLE DO THIS BEFORE, BUT IT IS A SERIOUS DEFECT AND SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE UNDER A RECALL OR TSB, AS WAS DONE WITH THE 2007/2008 JEEPS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED AND MORE INFO.*DT CONSUMER STATED HIS WIFE TOLD HIM IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.*JB

WHEN I REACH ABOUT 45 MPR THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY. TOOK IT SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE IT CORRECTED, BUT THE ISSUE ALWAYS CAME BACK. THEY TOLD ME IT JUST NEEDED A BOLT TIGHTENING. I FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF THIS MODEL HAVE WHAT THEY CALL "DEATH WOBBLE". MY DAUGHTER IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AND IT'S BEEN PARKED IN MY GARAGE EVER SINCE LAST TIME. THE PART IN QUESTION IS IN THE SUSPENSION AND IS CALLED THE STABILIZER OR STEERING DAMPER.

I HAVE WHAT IS KNOWN AS A COMMON PROBLEM. JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISN'T UNDER RECALL. THE CAR STARTS VIBRATING WHILE IN MOTION STARTING AT 50 MPH. IF IN TRAFFIC I HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR IT TO STOP WOBBLING. IT HAPPENS DAILY AND IS DANGEROUS. STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. LAST HAPPENED YESTERDAY. GETTING WORSE.

IGNITION SWITCH. I PUT KEY IN IGNITION AND AT TIMES WILL NOT START VEHICLE. ONCE I JIGGLE THE KEYS IT STARTS.

THE AUTOMATIC SHIFT WON'T REMAIN SECURE IN DRIVE. IF IT'S DISTRIBUTED IN ANY WAY IT GETS KNOCKED OUT OF DRIVE EVEN WHILE MOVING. ON ALL ROADWAYS ALL DIRECTIONS. *TR
