2009 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4X4 Rhd

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.

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 HEATER WORKED GREAT FOR 3 YEARS, THEN IT JUST BROKE 1 PART AT A TIME, NOW IT BLOWS ANTIFREEZE OUT THE DUCTS AND NO HEAT AT ALL, ALL THE BLEND MOTORS ARE BROKE ALL THE FLAPPERS ARE BROKE THE HOUSING IS WARPED THE SWITCH IS BROKE, THERE IS NO HEAT AT ALL IT TAKES 3 DAYS FOR SOMEONE WITH EXPERIENCE TO FIX IT AND THE DEALERSHIPS DON'T IMPROVE IT THEY JUST REPLACE PARTS WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS, THIS IS A SHAME THEY WONT REDESIGN THIS HEATER OR THE PARTS AND IT WILL NEED A 2,000$ REPAIR EVERY 3 YEARS, PS. THE AIR CONDITIONING IS TOTALLY GONE TOO. *TR

STARTED MY CAR WITH THE REMOTE STARTER. EVERYTHING FROM WIPERS TO ALARM TO WINDOW WASHER TO LIGHTS WENT ON A FRITZ. SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE HOOD. I MADE SURE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND OPENED THE HOOD TO DISCOVER A FIRE. I HAD A SMALL FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND WAS BARELY ENOUGH TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. ONCE EXTINGUISHED I CALLED THE DEALER WHO HAD JUST SERVICED THE CAR AND AM WAITING FOR AN IDEA WHY IT HAPPENED. IT MELTED THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS NEXT TO THE AIR DAM, WIRES AROUND THE BATTERY ETC. *TR

FIRST A WHINING SOUND BEGAN IN THE CASE AND GOT WORSE OVER THE NEXT 10,000 MILES, THEN AT 90,000 IT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF 4 WHEEL DRIVE FOR A VARYING AMOUNT OF TIME MAYBE 15 SECONDS ONE TIME OR 10 MINUTES OTHER TIMES ETC. WHEN IT DID SHIFT OUT OF 4 WHEEL IT WOULD BANG SO LOUD AND HARD IT FELT LIKE YOU RAN OVER A LARGE OBJECT, IT ACTUALLY THREW YOU UP IN THE AIR A BIT .WHEN YOU GOT STUCK IN SNOW AND NEEDED 4 WHEEL IT ONLY WOULD MAKE A RATCHETING SOUND. JEEP REFUSED TO FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE ITS A RHD POSTAL JEEP. IT COST $1744.00 TO FIX IT WITH A REBUILT CASE THAT CAN ONLY BE PURCHASED FROM JEEP. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHEN IT SHIFTED IT WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND WHEN YOU WERE STUCK IN SNOW YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHEN IT WOULD SHIFT INTO OR OUT OF 4 WHEEL. *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
