Hello, Recently my 2010 Jeep Wrangler has developed the infamous death wobble. It is one of the most terrifying things I've ever experienced. Being on the freeway, doing 75, having my vehicle suddenly start shaking and wobbling like it's coming apart at the seams, and having to come to a complete stop in the middle of rush hour traffic, 3 lanes away from the shoulder has given me extreme anxiety! I have read in depth about this issue, I have read that there have been lawsuits and tech bulletins, but never a recall because "nobody has died from this". Believe me, it's only a matter of time, whether it be a heart attack or an accident, it will happen.
Code C2116 - ABS Pump Motor Supply low. This error code has been occurring for the past year. I have no ABS brake function, no air bag function, and no traction control function. The part from Jeep Chrysler, ABS Module, has been on back order for 1 year. I believe it is dangerous for me to be driving this vehicle. One year on back order, please do something and help.
I was driving from the store, I was coming up to a cross road when my wipers just went wild for reasons unknown. When I went to turn them off it completely shut off putting at a sudden stop thankfully just before the crossroad and I'm blessed my kids weren't with me. Put it in park then tried to start it and it was shortly after when I was able to get it started again. Once it was able to start I put into drive and the whole dash was up in lights, and it was almost like it was bogging the rest of the way, under a certain Rpm it was gunna die and I couldn't get it to sustain at a rpm. Almost like it was bogging down on me. Just hoping and praying it would last till home. Once I got it home it died on me. Once it was parked and I tried to figured it out it only tries to turn over after that it dies on me. For how sudden it happened I just don't think I can trust taking it out anymore especially with my children. I am greatful that myself and no one else was injured if it had happened seconds later it would of been a different story. I haven't been able to move it or get it checked because of work and towing costs. So I'm at a loss for what it could be.
I purchased the vehicle from Loperena Auto Sales based on a video and phone conversation with Eddie Loperena who said nothing was wrong with the vehicle expect maybe a left front tire. On March 31 I wired ($14, 995.00) to Loperena Auto. I hired a transportation company to transport the vehicle to my home address in Bedford NH - the vehicle arrived with a ripped temporary plate, 1 key, copies of Bill of Sale but NO TITLE.He informed me the title was coming (On April 20th still no title) and to relax. I ordered four new tires (as they were all bad and would not pass inspection) and they arrived a few days ago so I took the Jeep to Tire Warehouse and they said the vehicle has some issues and they recommended I take the vehicle to a mechanic. I texted Eddie from Lopererna who informed me that this was a used vehicle and he does not check anything in his cars including brakes, engines nothing - this was a completely different tune than when I spoke with him before when he said nothing was wrong with the vehicle. He then called me a text gangster, so I called him and became belligerent and asked me if I knew who I as dealing with and come down to the dealership.I told him the car needed work which was different than what he told me on the phone before purchasing the vehicle and he again said he never checks his cars.. they are used cars. I took the vehicle to my local mechanic and he said the car was a lemon. The car needs new front bearings, two new U joints and if they are stuck to the front axle then a new front axle, rear axle seal and additional bearings. He then said there is so much OIL on the engine that it is a fire hazard (Must not be Driven) and he cannot determine where the oil is coming from without pressure washing the Engine but at a minimum the whole engine needs to be resealed. Answers: Engine, Tires and Axle failed inspection and yes. Definite safety risk! Inspected by mechanics and police. NO Lights at all and only made aware at mechanics shop
The driver's side heat blows colder than the passengers side heat. Problem lays with either faulty heater core, air diversion switch, or improper channeling. This problem occurs when sitting idle, and while driving. Prevents proper defrosting measures when driving in cold, wet weather.

My reverse went out on my 42rle automatic transmission in my Wrangler and I looked it up and supposedly this issue is extremely common. Like story after story after story after story after story. This transmission had a recall in its early days where it wouldn't go into park and people were crashing they fixed that but ever since this transmission came out according to google. People have had this problem and it shouldn't just go out like that. The vehicle was stopped and I was backing out of a parking space. Well I was trying until I realized that I wasn't going anywhere so I had to drive over the little hump things. But my reverse lights and everything come on but my engine just revs. And everyone I've asked from people in new orleans Jeep club to looking it up on google either has this problem or had this problem or knows someone who either has or had this problem.
I have what is known as a common problem. Jeep death wobble. I can't understand why this isn't under recall. The car starts vibrating while in motion starting at 50 mph. If in traffic I have to come to a complete stop for it to stop wobbling. It happens daily and is dangerous. Started about 2 years ago. Last happened yesterday. Getting worse.
The automatic shift won't remain secure in drive. If it's distributed in any way it gets knocked out of drive even while moving. On all roadways all directions.
Vehicle is consuming excessive oil. I check the dip stick every time I get gas to be sure it doesn't go dry. It started being very low at just 3,000 since last oil change and progressively got worse. The dipstick will now be below the safe line at 1,600 miles since last oil change. I have had the PCV value replaced and it didn't not fix the problem. I have been to several specialty Jeep machines who have said I will need a new engine.
Takata recall. On Sunday August 18th 2019 at 4:30 pm a phone call was placed to brooklyn Chrysler/Jeep at 718 713 3000 to confirm an appointment for an airbag recall made through the national hotline. Upon contacting the service department, I was told that the national recall center did not appropriately schedule the airbag repair, and made my appointment for an "oil change." I was also told that scheduling errors are frequent from your office and that they do not currently have replacement air bag parts in stock. I was told that Chrysler only sends out "two or three" airbag recall parts at a time and that they are given out on a first come, first served basis. She stated there is no current procedure for assigning service to a particular customer at a particular time, and that I should try back every few weeks. This haphazard handling, if true, begs the question of why your office would spend as much time as it does sending out mailings for any fix, yet so little effort to streamline the administrative end to be more effective. I will continue to try to made this "potentially deadly" repair, but someone can coordinate better with the dealership.
Purchased car in Sept 2010, have had intermittent heat and defrost problems since the get go. No heat, heat on one side, luke warm heat, no defroster. Been to the dealer and other mechanics and the problem still persists. This seems to be a known problem to Chrysler Corp as there was a class action lawsuit regarding casting sand clogging the HVAC system. Chrysler refuses to recall theses vehicles and address the problem. The problem persists at start and when the engine is fully warmed up, no discernible change in cabin temp.
The casting sand from the motor has clogged up the heater coil. The Jeep dealer in augusta, ga said I need to spend over $3000 to have the radiator, heater coil and other items to remedy the situation. The passenger side blows hot but the drivers side blows ice cold.
Driving down the highway, my heater stopped blowing hot air on the driver side vent and then 20 minutes later my heater core exploded coolant all through my passenger footwell, and steamed the entire interior of my Jeep. Leaving the windshield fogged over and me dangerously pulling off to the side of the highway. Is my understanding that this is a very common reoccurring manufactures defect.
Takata recall - plus other items.Jeep refused to fix my Jeep without standing recall notices. I made an appointment and had all data verified of the outstanding issues. The dealership called back to confirm mileage. My appointment was today 06/25/2018 at plaza Jeep in inverness, fl - I dropped the vehicle off and when I returned to pick it up; only 1 of 6 recalls were addressed. I was told that they need to now order parts that the ones assigned to my vehicle had been used or gone. Call Chrysler and they advised that I could come back but parts may not be there. How can I make an appointment and confirm parts and yet they refuse to complete the work. I am told that I may make several appointments to get these done. I need help and cannot afford to keep taking days off and hope they have not used the parts assigned to me.
Heater core failed three times first time core failed windshield was covered in hot antifreeze. Second heater core lasted one year leaking out onto rug and filling heater box win antifreeze. Third time core failed it sprayed scalding hot antifreeze on my 10 ten year old daughters leg. Third heater core was only seven months old.all of the heater core were own supplied from Jeep, they are made off a very cheap aluminum and either crack or leak inthe same spot. This very expensive repair as the front seat, dashboard. Air conditioning and electrical harness has to be removed. Jeep dealers charge between $1800 to $2300 to do this repair. At present time I will be paying 3 times in less than 2 years to have this repair done. At all times this failure occurred the vehicle was running and being driven.two ofthe failures occurred at highway speed creating a very dangerous situation were vehicle had to driven with antifreeze spraying on windshield. And passager side floor until I could get vehicle off to side of road. If my daughter did not have on long pant and high boots she would have been severely burned
I currently own a 2010 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport. Every time I fill up that gas tank it over flows. I have never had this issue in any other car I've owned. I go to the gas station to fill up my tank and I sit in my car while it fills up and when it's full I get out of my car and every time there is gas all over my Jeep and on the ground as well. I asked around and many other Jeep owners have the same issue. I want to know what is causing this to happen and how it can be fixed. I won't even get out of my car until my tank is full because it spray everywhere. Please someone fix this issue we are having
