general problems of the 2010 Jeep Wrangler - part 1

Abs module failure. Unable to get replacement. Manufacturer refuses to provide & unable to use used ones due to being programed to VIN#. It has been over 2 years and no resolution in site.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

The dealer does not have any parts available to fix the clock spring in my Jeep Wrangler as a result the airbags may not deploy in an accident.

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.

Heater core sludge blocked.

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.

Vehicle is consuming excessive oil. I check the dip stick every time I get gas to be sure it doesnt 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 didnt not fix the problem. I have been to several specialty Jeep machines who have said I will need a new engine.

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.

Ignition switch. I put key in ignition and at times will not start vehicle. Once I jiggle the keys it starts.

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.

1) doors are supposed to lock when vehicle gets to a certain speed but the driver side no longer locks automatically. 2) while vehicle was in park, the automatic gear slipped into drive and smashed into a wall and totally shut down. The Jeep had to be towed to the dealer as the automatic gear shift would not move and the Jeep would not start. The Jeep has been in the repair shop for 3 days and the dealership has not been able to determine what is wrong with the Jeep.

After researching the internet I cam across the acronym of the issue. What happened is exactly described in this article as the "death wobble. . Read more...

While driving approx. 10 mph my Jeep started smoking in the cab. I immediately stopped the car, jumped out and already there were flames coming from the engine. My entire. . . I mean entire Jeep burned within a few minutes. Nothing but a shell left. What happened? it was so scary!.

2010 Jeep Wrangler unlimited rubicon 4x4 horn doesn't work. Works to alert me when alarm is active or tripped only. Clockspring replaced as per recall. Horn still doesn't work. Diagnosed horn. Actual horn works. Fuse is good. Relay in tipm doesn't click. Non- servicable part???!!! can't physically replace a simple relay for a horn for under $1000. 00???!!! what the. . . I can not believe this. I need a horn for safety.

Symptom was air bag light slowly flashing, specifically while driving. Some other symptoms from others online specify while turning. Diagnosis is bad clock spring with repairs necessary. This has been a documented issue that caused extended warranty in past years' models of Jeep Wrangler (2007) and caused a Chrysler ordered letter to customers, but it is yet uncovered in other years, although there is documentation online of this issue being seen in future years' models (including my 2010 model).

Airbag light and chime comes on and off while the Jeep is being driven. Horn still works, cruise control still works, dealership reviewed and diagnosis is clockspring is causing the issue. Dealership also verified that when the light comes on and chime, the airbags are disabled. Since the only part not working is the airbag sensor, shouldn't this be a safety issue and covered by Chrysler? Chrysler says that if this happened while the Jeep was under warranty it would have been covered.

While parked engine began to repeatedly cranked and moved over curb over 20 feet until stop by striking over vehicles and exhaust battery power.

Recently purchased a used 2010 Jeep Wrangler every time I fill the tank gas it spits out on auto shut off and is like a geyser when I remove the pump. Gas goes all over my hand and clothes. I note there are several other reports of this. This occurs every time I fill the tank. There were > 900 complaints regarding this in 2010-11. Why won't Chrysler fix this problem?.

I was driving to work on 10-5-15 when a drunk driver pulled out in front of me, I had no time to stop but when my 2010 Jeep Wrangler unlimited hit their vehicle, I immediately smelled and saw smoke comming from the engine compartment of my Jeep. I drove to the side of the road where I quickly got out and made it just in time because the vehicle quickly burst into flames. My airbags also did not deploy which I thought odd because I was traveling around 45 mph at the time of the accident.

Car stalled loosing all power and drivability dealer claims the alternator went bad and fuse able link melted causing me to need a whole new wiring set.

Was driving down freeway and the vehicle just went up in flames out of no where beginning on passengers side under the hood. Fire engulfed the vehicle entirely. Total loss.

Vehicle caught on fire, vehicle was declared a total loss.

While the vehicle was driven about 20mph, first on line to a traffic light and on about 20 t0 25 feet before the intersection and light was red, and when the brake was applied it did not stop and the vehicle kept moving and it was stopped by the emergency brake. A burning smell got inside the vehicle and people stopped yelling that the vehicle was on fire. When the hood was opened and the fire put out we notices that the fire started at the brakes pump sensor. It burned all the wiring around there to include plastic cover of left hand side wheel, the steering column rubber joint, sensors, the hood and other parts in that side.

I have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler sahara unlimited with 62k on it. I first noticed a jar and shaking after hitting a bump a few months ago and didn't think anything of this, until tonight!y Jeep is completely stock. I was coming home from work and hit a bump on the highway and my whole entire front end completely shook where I could barely control the vehicle. I had to slow down but was scared to death because there was a semi behind me, when I slowed down it didn't do it anymore! this is so dangerous I go on multiple trips with my two sons and can't imagine to safety that is at risk with this type of malfunction in a Jeep.

Hard top 2010 Jeep Wrangler water leaks inside of the car every time it rains it leaks from the rear window center part of the roof where the two parts meet by the doors on top where the pillar meets t top of the windshield where the two removel parts meet right side and left side doors water get in and this happens whether is moving or just park.

I was traveling on a cold and icy road and inside was cold due to the heater core being filled with casting sand. I crossed a river and the difference in humidity caused the windshield to fog up and freeze. I was not able to see the road, but managed to stick my head out the window to keep from crashing. I could have been killed. The temp was about 5° outside. I was near grand island nebraska. South of the walmart on south locust street.

I have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler that I run on mail routes. The tpms always goes off and I take it to the dealership and they are unable to fix this. For safety reasons, I put the spare tire inside so I have a better view in my rear window so I can see who is behind me. I drove the Jeep a few months like this and had no problem then one day the tpms light and chime goes off each time I start the Jeep. The dealership is guessing it might be the spare tire that is inside. I emailed Chrysler a number of times to fix the issue and they refuse to fix the issue because the dealership excuse is the spare tire is on the inside instead of the outside. Is there anything I can do to get this fixed or is there nothing I can do at all because the dealership and Chrysler refuses to help? would this not be against the law if this is faulty and they also told me it would be against the law to turn the tpms off or lower the pounds per tire? the dealership said they went over all the troubleshooting instructions from Chrysler and they can not find the issue to fix this problem.

The Jeep broke the cotter/ safety pin 1j4ba3h15al160700 of the 4x4 shifter case.
