Most Recent Complaints
WHEN FILLING UP WITH GASOLINE, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE TANK IS FULL THEN GAS FLOWS BACK OUT OF THE CAR AND SPILLS ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE I OWNED THE JEEP AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE $1500 TO FIX A DESIGN FLAW. THE GAS VOLUME THAT SPILLS IS AT LEAST A QUART AND CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION.
DRIVERS MIRROR FELL OFF WHILE STATIONARY. THE INTERNAL BRACKET HAS CORRODED AND FAILED IT OBVIOUSLY A MATERIAL DEFECT.
I HAVE A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON. I DROVE CROSS COUNTRY IN 2010 (MILITARY MOVE) AND GOT THE TIRES ROTATED AFTER THE LONG DRIVE. WHEN I DID, WHILE DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON DC, MY CAR STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO FALL OFF THE SIDE OF THE BRIDGE AND FALL INTO THE WATER 100 FEET DOWN. LUCKILY IT STOPPED ONCE I SLOWED DOWN TO UNDER 10 MILES PER HOUR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY BLAMED THE TIRES. THEY NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE KNOWN DEATH WOBBLE, SO WHILE I DIDN'T FULLY BELIEVE IT, I JUST REPLACED THE TIRES AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES FOR A WHILE. I RECENTLY MOVED TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS SUMMER FOR WORK, AND HAVE TO NOW DRIVE OVER MORE BUMPY WINDY MOUNTAIN ROADS. NOW, ANY TIME I AM DRIVING OVER 45MPH ON THESE WINDY ROADS, PARTICULARLY WHEN GOING DOWNHILL, THE WHOLE JEEP SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY. I HAVEN'T GONE OFF THE SIDE OF A CLIFF YET - BUT I FEEL LIKE I MIGHT AT ANY POINT DURING ONE OF THESE DRIVES. AND WHERE I LIVE NOW, I HAVE TO DRIVE THESE ROADS, WHICH IS SCARY FOR MY WIFE AND I AND OUR TWO YOUNG KIDS. THE JEEP IS ALMOST PAID OFF - BUT NOT YET, SO I'D TRADE IT IN, BUT WILL LOSE ALOT OF MONEY TO DO THAT - AND WAS HOPING TO HAVE THIS JEEP FOR YEARS AFTER I PAID OFF THE JEEP - BUT AM NOT SO SURE NOW. I ALSO WAS A LOYAL JEEP CUSTOMER, UNTIL NOW.
THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE TIE ROD ON BROKE OFF THE TRUCK AND HAD TO BE WELDED ON. DEATH WOBBLE FOR AT LEAST 9 MONTHS. REPLACED INNER & OUTER TIE ROD ENDS, 2 STABALIZER BARS, SHOCKS, SWAY BAR AND STILL SHAKES. CALLED JEEP CORP. AND THEY SAID SORRY BUT THEY WERENT PAYING TO GET IT FIXED
