  When filling my tank, it spits gas back out of the nozzle. I’ve been told in several forums that this is a warranty issue and is to be replaced by a dealership for free. The item that needs to be repaired is a fuel filler tube. I don’t wanna spend the money on buying the part myself if this is something that is covered by the dealership through the factory. This happens every time I fill the tank and has been an ongoing problem for over a year almost 2 years. I have to fill it very slowly with gas as well. I cannot fill it fast as it will stop automatically. The part number is 52060489AH

  I OWN A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR MODEL THAT HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK. I HAVE SEEN ON NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUMS THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS MATTER. WHEN I USE THE PUMP TO FILL MY TANK IT WILL AUTO SHUT OFF THE PUMP THEN SPEW AT LEAST 2-3 CUPS OF GASOLINE OUT OF THE GAS INTAKE ONTO THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE, GROUND AND ON OCCASION MYSELF. I HAVE READ THAT MANY HAVE ALSO FILLED A COMPLIANT SO THAT CHRYSLER WILL PERFORM A RECALL WHILE OTHERS HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS ISSUES. I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS FAIR TO HAVE PAYING CUSTOMERS PAY FOR AN OBVIOUS DESIGN OR FUEL SYSTEM FLAW.

  I OWN A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, I HAVE EXPERIENCED INCREASING ISSUES WITH MY WRANGLER IN THAT IT BEGINS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN I AM DRIVING ABOVE 50 MPH AND HIT EVEN SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THIS PAST SUMMER I HAD IT WORKED ON TWICE IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN STORAGE SINCE SEPTEMBER AND I DROVE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS PAST WEEKEND. TODAY (12/23/14), I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND IN LESS THAN 30 MILES, THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP (OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS DIFFICULT, AND SOMETIMES IMPOSSIBLE, ON THE FREEWAY). THE SITUATION BECOMES VERY DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND THE DRIVERS AROUND ME. I HAVE MADE NO MODIFICATIONS TO MY WRANGLER. *TR

  WHEN FILLING UP MY 2 DOOR JEEP WRANGLER IT NEVER FAILS TO OVERFLOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT PUMP I USE OR HOW FAST OR SLOW I FILL UP. I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT THEY FIXED A COUPLE YEARS AND MINE DOESN'T FIT INTO THAT. I FEEL IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT THEY WON'T FIX ALL YEARS CONSIDERING THEY KNOW THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND A SAFETY HAZZARD AS THE GAS DOESN'T JUST GET ALL OVER MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND BUT MYSELF AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A COUPLE MONTHS, I THOUGHT IT WAS MAYBE THE PUMP OR THE WAY I WAS PUMPING THE GAS AND NOTHING I HAVE DONE TO CHANGE IT HAS HELPED.

  THE WIPERS KEEP TURNING ON BY THEMSELVES AND SOMETIMES WON'T SHUT OFF. THEY ALSO SOMETIMES COME ON WHEN THE TURN SIGNALS ARE USED, AND AGAIN SOMETIMES WON'T TURN OFF. THEY SOMETIMES WON'T TURN ON. ALSO, BULBS, SUCH AS HEADLIGHT, MARKERS, AND FOG LIGHTS KEEP BLOWING OUT ON AN EXTREMELY FREQUENT BASIS. ALL THESE THING HAPPEN WHEN THE JEEP IS BOTH IN MOTION AND IDLING BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY DRIVING.....GOING FOREWORD AND DURING MID TURN. WHILE ACCELERATING AND BRAKING. ALL OCCURRENCES HAVE HAPPENED DURING ALL 4 NEW YORK SEASONS. AND AT NO SPECIFIC TIME OF DAY. WE HAVE NO PHOTOS BUT THIS HAPPENS AT VARIOUS TIMES AND HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE THE JEEP WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2010 AND THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP WHICH INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT PHYSICALLY "SEE" IT HAPPEN THEREFORE COULD NOT DIAGNOSE. I WILL PUT A DATE IN THE "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN BOX" BELOW AS A START POINT...BUT KNOW IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN TO THIS DAY. *TR

  APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AGO, THE HEATER CORE IN MY JEEP FAILED SUDDENLY, POURING ANTIFREEZE OUT ONTO MY PASSENGER FLOORBOARD REPEATEDLY. AT THE TIME I WAS NOT AWARE THAT IT WAS MY HEATER CORE. WE ASKED A MECHANIC TO LET US KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG AND THAT'S WHEN WE FOUND OUT. I AM SO GLAD THAT WE NOTICED IT IN TIME BECAUSE WE HAVE 3 DOGS THAT FREQUENTLY ARE IN MY VEHICLE AND ONE, SOME, OR ALL OF THEM COULD HAVE DIED. THIS WAS NOT A CHEAP FIX AS THEY HAD TO TAKE APART THE DASH TO GAIN ACCESS. I LOVE MY JEEP, BUT COME ON YOU GUYS.... NO CUSTOMER SHOULD HAVE TO FORK OVER SO MUCH MONEY FOR MANUFACTURER DEFECTS.

• 12/12/2019· STEERING,SUSPENSION,WHEELS

  I HAVE A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X, PURCHASED NEW. A FEW YEARS AFTER PURCHASE I BEGAN EXPERIENCING 'DEATH WOBBLE.' A MECHANIC'S DIAGNOSTIC STATED MY TRACK BAR WAS BENT AND MY BUSHINGS WERE WORN AND NEEDED REPLACING AS A RESULT OF ALL THE VIOLENT SIDE TO SIDE SHAKING. THIS WAS REPAIRED AT GREAT EXPENSE OUT OF POCKET. THIS REPAIR SEEMED EFFECTIVE FOR SOME TIME BEFORE THE SPEED WOBBLE STARTED UP AGAIN THIS PAST YEAR. DURING ONE EPISODE, THE HARSH SHAKING CAUSED MY LEFT SIDE BLINKERS AND BRAKE LIGHT TO FAIL. NO ONE SHOULD REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO OPERATE A VEHICLE WHEN IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SUDDENLY, UNEXPECTEDLY, UNCONTROLLABLY, VIOLENTLY, HARSHLY, AND DANGEROUSLY START SHAKING, ESPECIALLY WHILE IN OPERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I AVOID DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ANYMORE BECAUSE I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC BEFORE JARRING SHAKING WILL START. ANY DRIVING IS NOW INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS TO ME, MY PASSENGERS, AND OTHER NEARBY DRIVERS. THE UNCONTROLLABLY VIOLENT SHAKING IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, FRIGHTENING, AND FORCES ME TO ABRUPTLY PULL OVER, GREATLY INCREASING MY CHANCES OF BEING SEVERELY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT IS NOT RIGHT FOR JEEP OWNERS TO SUFFER THIS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR JEEP. THEY SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR AND REIMBURSE JEEP OWNERS ANY AND ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH REPAIRS, ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION, INJURIES, DEATHS, DISTRESS, OR ANY OTHER CONDITIONS OR COMPLICATIONS ARISING FROM, RELATED TO, OR OTHERWISE RESULTING FROM 'DEATH WOBBLE.' CAUSES FOR THIS HAZARD VARY, SO DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS CAN BE EXTREMELY LENGTHY AND COSTLY, NOT TO MENTION REPAIRS NEEDED FOR OTHER AREAS OF THE VEHICLE WORN AND DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF SUCH AGGRESSIVELY UNSAFE SHAKING. THIS IS NOT STANDARD WEAR AND TEAR, BUT A SERIOUS, DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED BY NHTSA, THE CENTER FOR AUTO SAFETY, LAWYERS, AND COURTS.

WE HAD THE ENGINE REPLACE AT ANOTHER SHOP. COST $5K. AT TIME OF REPAIR WE FOUND OUT THAT THE PROBLEM STEM FROM A MFG DEFECT.

WE WERE REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE OF A MFG DEFECT. THEY REFUSED TO COVER COST OF REPAIRS. I THAN GOT CONNECTED WITH A CASE MANAGER AT CHRYSLER.

HE SAID THAT I SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER IN FEB 2014 NOT THE DEALER REGARDING THE WARRANTY. THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE OFFERED TO DO A FREE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY INSPECTION THAN OR REFER ME TO CONTACT CHRYSLER. [XXX] ALSO SAID THAT THE POWERTRAIN INSPECTION I WAS REQUIRED TO HAVE DONE NOV WAS TO NEGATE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY ON THE REPLACED ENGINE. WE FEEL THAT CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS.THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE THE ENGINE. CHRYSLER IS VERY AWARE OF THIS DEFECT. THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE TOLD US THEY NEEDED TO PERFORM A FREE INSPECTION OF THE MOTOR WHEN IT FAILED IN FEB 2014 TO DETERMINE IF THE REPAIRS WOULD BE COVERED RATHER THAN TURN US AWAY STATING THE WARRANTY WAS VOID, OR AT LEAST REFER US TO CALL CHRYSLER.PLEASE UNDERSTAND, MY CONCERN IS NOT REGARDING MAINTAINING THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY.
