1 Wheel Bolts problem of the 2009 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/20/2012

During a routine wheel rotation, I was alerted to all 4 of the nuts that secure the tire pressure monitors (and the valve stems) being cracked along their lengths. If only one had been cracked, I would consider it odd, but all 4 means an obvious and extremely dangerous defect. When (not if) one fell one fell off, it would lead to a sudden loss of air pressure and, very likely, an accident. This is a low mileage vehicle that has had no abuse, damage, or accidents that might have caused the cracks to occur.

2 Wheel Bolts problem of the 2008 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 02/01/2012

2008 Jeep Wrangler. Consumer writes in regards to mechanical problems and brake line routing defect the consumer stated the first problem he had with the vehicle was the transmission. It began failing to engage and shifting out of gear. The dealer discovered that the transmission oil filter had not been installed and was lying on the bottom of the transmission oil pan. In January 2011, while driving at highway speeds, the consumer began to experience intermittent violent shaking of the entire vehicle, which seemed to be originating from the front end. The consumer stated it felt as though a wheel was loose. The consumer went to a repair shop, where the tie rod and pitman were replaced. Two weeks later, the shaking occurred again and soon it became increasingly violent ,making it nearly impossible to control the vehicle and stay in his lane. The consumer returned to the repair shop where they replaced the steering damper, which seemed to correct the problem for awhile. In July, the consumer took the vehicle for a routine maintenance check. While checking the front end, the mechanic was able to get two full turns on a nut on the track bar. Since then, the shaking has not occurred. The consumer stated as he approached a line of vehicles stopped at a light, he attempted to apply the brake, but it went soft and to the floor. An inspection revealed a hole in the brake line above the right front wheel, where the line left the wheel well and went into the engine compartment. The hole was caused by rubbing on the line by the edge of the plastic wheel well lining.
