2009 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, IT SPITS BACK ABOUT A PINT OR TWO OF GAS AFTER THE AUTO SHUTOFF ON THE GAS PUMP TURNS OFF. IT DOES THIS EVERY TIME NOW AT ANY GAS STATION. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE FIRE HAZARD OF SPILLED FUEL SHOOTING AROUND. *TR

I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE FRONT END BEGAN SHAKING SO BADLY I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO GET IT TO QUIT. SINCE THEN THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES BUT IT IS VERY RANDOM WHEN IT HAPPENS AND TYICALLY I NEED TO SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A STOP TO GET IT TO QUIT. THIS WILL BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS ON A BUSY ROADWAY AND I HAVE TO SLOWDOWN TO ALMOST A STOP TO GET IT TO QUIT. *TR

HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, GAS FILL-UP OVERFLOW. GAS SPEWS OUT ALL OVER JEEP AND ANYONE STANDING NEAR IT. *TR

ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO THE JEEP STARTED SPITTING OUT A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE AT THE FUEL PUMP 10 SECONDS AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL NOW AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS YOU HAVE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE WITH THE REAR CORNER COVERED IN GASOLINE. I DID RESEARCH AND THIS IS A COMMON CHRYSLER/JEEP ISSUE YET THEY SAID IT'S NOT A COVERED REPAIR ON MY YEAR MODEL AND COULD COST $1000 TO FIX... THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. I URGE ALL DRIVERS WITH THIS ISSUE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AS IT'S DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY IF NOT, RECALL. MY JEEP IS STOCK EVERYTHING AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT OCCURRED OUT OF THE ORDINARY WHEN THIS STARTED HAPPENING. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE UP AT A GAS STATION AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FUEL WILL KICK BACK OUT OF THE TANK AND GET ON THE INDIVIDUAL, THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT NEARS A FULL TANK. I HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON A 2007 THAT WAS RECALLED BY CHRYSLER, BUT THEY TELL ME THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE 2009. THIS CONDITION IS SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE THAN MY OLD 2007 AND POSES AS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON (AND CONTINUES TO STAY ON FOR THE PAST 2 DAYS) WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD RECENTLY. AFTER CHECKING WITH SEVERAL SOURCES, INCLUDING CHRYSLER'S RECALL DEPT., I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH JEEP WRANGLERS, BUT ONLY A SELECT FEW HAVE BEEN ISSUED RECALL NOTICES. THIS IS APPARENTLY AFFECTING A BROADER NUMBER OF JEEPS THAN CHRYSLER HAS INCLUDED IN THEIR INITIAL RECALL (NUMBER L37). UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO FIX THIS ON MY OWN, APPARENTLY MY SAFETY IS AT RISK IF MY AIR BAG FAILS TO DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT. FAULTY SAFETY EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE THE MANUFACTURERS RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER 4DR 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER DRIVING OVER A BUMP. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND INSPECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FRONT END LINKAGE AND RACK BAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

EVERY TIME FILLING THE JEEP WITH FUEL WHEN THE GAS PUMP KICKS OFF FUEL SPILLS OR SHOULD I SAY BLOWS BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK COVERING WHO EVER IS FUELING VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE SIDE OF VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE JEEP DOWN THE HIGHWAY THROUGH CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND IT VIBRATED VIOLENTLY AFTER I DROVE OVER A BUMP. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN VERY QUICKLY DURING RUSH HOUR AND WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE REAR BY ANOTHER CARE SO THE WOBBLE WOULD GO AWAY. I TOOK IT TO HAVE IT FIXED AND WAS TOLD THIS IS COMMON. I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND WAS AMAZED. FOR A NEWER VEHICLE I WAS FLOORED THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BY JEEP. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TOO. I TOOK IT TO JEEP AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY TO FIX IT, SO WHAT WAS I GOING TO DO DRIVE AND UNSAFE CAR (AND IT IS UNSAFE, ANOTHER CAR ALMOST HIT ME). I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED. THEY REPLACED A DAMPER AND GUESS WHAT THERE IS STILL A WOBBLE. THIS IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS ISSUE AND YET JEEP WILL NOT STAND BEHIND A POOR DESIGN THAT THEY CLEARLY KNOW IS A PROBLEM. SO, I AM LOOKING FOR HELP MAKING IT KNOW THAT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE ADVISED JEEP AND NOW NHTSA. I WILL SURELY CONTACT AN ATTORNEY AND BECOME VERY PUBLIC THAT THERE HAS BEEN WARNING OF THIS. ALL I WANT IS FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS TO BE SAFE IN A CAR. JEEP SHOULD STEP UP AND CORRECT THERE PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO A DANGEROUS SPEED IF YOU CANT PULL OVER RIGHT AWAY TO STOP. THE CAR SHAKES AS IF IT IS FALLING APART. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND WE BROUGHT IT TO OUR MECHANIC. THEY INFORMED US THAT IT WAS THE STEERING DAMPENER AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT IS HAPPENING TO JEEPS ALL OVER AND THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT COVERING REPAIRS. AFTER MY MECHANIC FIXED THE STEERING DAMPENER, THEY TEST DROVE IT AND FOUND THE SHAKE TO STILL BE THERE AND DID FURTHER INVESTIGATING. THEY FOUND THAT MOST OF THE PARTS IN THE STEERING SYSTEM WERE DAMAGED, IE. TIE RODS AND STEERING DRAG LINK. I AM BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO MY JEEP DEALER AND HAVE INFORMED CHRYSLER OF THE SITUATION. I AM HOPING THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THE BAD PARTS BUT DO NOT HAVE A GOOD FEELING. *TR
