2009 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

AFTER ABOUT 7500 MILES ON MY ODOMETER, I ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH; WHEN I ENCOUNTER A ROUGH SPOT ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING SO BAD THAT I HAD TO SLOW TO ABOUT 5 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING SHOCK. I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 7500 ADDITIONAL MILES AND AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 3,000 ADDITIONAL MILES AND NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER ABOUT 3,000 ADDITIONAL MILES. *TR

ON THE 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. A RECALL IS IN EFFECT FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT ONLY FOR RHD 2008-2012 JEEP WRANGLERS. *TR

ESP/BAS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD CLOCK SPRING, THEY FIXED IT SINCE IT WAS JUST UNDER THE 50K MILE WARRANTY, THREE WEEKS LATER I WAS OVER THE 50K WARRANTY AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, TOOK IT BACK AND IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING AGAIN DEALERSHIP FIXED IT AGAIN THEN A BIT OVER A YEAR LATER IT WENT AGAIN, I DON'T GO OFF ROADING OR ANYTHING CRAZY NOW I HAVE TO DROP 600 BUCKS (PARTS+LABOR) TO FIX IT AGAIN IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THE AIRBAG GOES OFF IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT CRAZY THIS IS NOT A RECALL YET, A COMMON JEEP PROBLEM THAT EFFECTS AIRBAGS AND SUSPENSION. *TR

WAS AT A STOP LIGHT,TURNED GREEN, AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC, IT POPPED OUT OF 1ST GEAR LEAVING ME STRANDED AS ONCOMING/OPPOSING TRAFFIC APPROACHED. NEARLY CAUSING A SEVER ACCIDENT.MY FAMILY WAS I. EXTREME DANGER OF BEING HIT HEAD ON BY A TRUCK GOING 45 MPH. (WITHIN HIS DESIGNATED SPEED LIMIT). HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES UNABLE TO DUPLICATE MY ISSUE BUT HAVE VIDEO DOCUMENTATION PROVING IT. THEIR IS CURRENTLY A TSB ON MY ISSUE BUT VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF JEEP KNEES W/THIS SAME ISSUE! HOW MANY PEOPLE/FAMILIES HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS IS A CALLED BACK FOR REPAIR BY THE CHRYSLER CORP. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK ONTO THE FENDER AND GROUND. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS COMES OUT OF THE TANK WHEN THE PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS PUMPS AND GAS STATIONS. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND IS RELATED TO THE GAS CAP. I SUSPECT THIS OVERFLOW PROBLEM MAY HAVE DAMAGED THE VAPOR CANISTER AND IS THE ULTIMATE CAUSE OF THE CHECK ENGINE GAS CAP CODE. NO FIRE YET, BUT THE POTENTIAL IS A LOT GREATER WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I NEVER TOP OFF AFTER THE PUMP STOPS. THIS FIRST OCCURRED A FEW YEARS AGO AND THEN DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN FOR A WHILE, BUT LATELY, IT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT, AND SEEMS TO BE WORSENING. AT FIRST, THE SPILL WOULD BE MINOR AND OCCURRED ONLY WHEN I TOOK THE NOZZLE OUT OF THE TANK. A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, GAS WAS SPILLING OUT OF MY TANK JUST AS THE PUMP STOPPED. TODAY, GAS WAS SQUIRTING OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO ME. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT POTENTIAL DANGERS OF SPILLED FUEL--FIRE, ENVIRONMENTAL, PERSONAL INJURY FROM CONTACT WITH GAS, DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OFF ROAD ON A WASHBOARD TYPE SURFACE AT ABOUT 5 - 10 MPH WHEN MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER AND MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. (IT'S STILL COMES ON AND OFF). WHEN WE STOPPED THE BATTERY WAS HOT AND HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED AND REPLACED, ALSO WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT PROBLEM THE HORN HARDLY MAKES A SOUND. MY MECH SAYS THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AND IT'S A "RUBICON" :( *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,691. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE WHOLE JEEP STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO HOLD ON TO. HAD TO SLOW DOWN ALMOST TO A STOP BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPPED. MY JEEP IS STOCK, AND THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE TRACKBAR WHICH SEEMED TO HELP FOR A WHILE, BUT IT'S BACK AGAIN. *TR
