Fuel/Propulsion System · at 98,000 miles · reported Jun 12, 2019
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…
Power Train · reported Dec 25, 2015
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

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.
Electrical System · at 30,000 miles · reported Apr 24, 2014
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.
