2009 Jeep Wrangler Other Problems

Your AC hose is touching your power steering hose, which has caused the AC hose to burn and fail. This happened because the hoses aren't properly separated or protected. The fix will involve rerouting the hoses and adding protective covering (like mesh or heat wrap) to prevent them from making contact again.

SO ON MY 4X4 TRANSFER CASE THE BUSHING KEEPS POPPING OFF I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IT 4 TIMES AND KEEPS LEAVING ME STRANDED AND HAVING TO CRAWL IN THE MUD AFTER GETTING STUCK AND PUTTING IT IN 4X4 AND HAVE HAD IT COME OFF GOING DOWN RD

FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, WHENEVER IT RAINS, WATER FLOWS IN FROM THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF BOTH FRONT DOORS. ALSO, IF MY VEHICLE IS PARKED AND IT RAINS, NEXT TIME I DRIVE IT WATER ABSOLUTELY POURS IN ALL OVER ME AND THE PASSENGER SEAT, OR MY PASSENGER.

APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AGO, THE HEATER CORE IN MY JEEP FAILED SUDDENLY, POURING ANTIFREEZE OUT ONTO MY PASSENGER FLOORBOARD REPEATEDLY. AT THE TIME I WAS NOT AWARE THAT IT WAS MY HEATER CORE. WE ASKED A MECHANIC TO LET US KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG AND THAT'S WHEN WE FOUND OUT. I AM SO GLAD THAT WE NOTICED IT IN TIME BECAUSE WE HAVE 3 DOGS THAT FREQUENTLY ARE IN MY VEHICLE AND ONE, SOME, OR ALL OF THEM COULD HAVE DIED. THIS WAS NOT A CHEAP FIX AS THEY HAD TO TAKE APART THE DASH TO GAIN ACCESS. I LOVE MY JEEP, BUT COME ON YOU GUYS.... NO CUSTOMER SHOULD HAVE TO FORK OVER SO MUCH MONEY FOR MANUFACTURER DEFECTS.

MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X WAS STRUCK AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH ALMOST HEAD ON. ON A CITY STREET MOVING STRAIGHT. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THIS JEEP HAS HAD AT LEAST THREE CLOCK SPRINGS REPLACED AND IS ON A CLOCK SPRING WARRANTY FOR LIFE. THE JEEP HAD NO SIGNS CLOCK SPRING FAILURE PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT I.E. AIRBAG LIGHT NOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ALTHOUGH WEARING SEATBELTS MY FACE STRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL AND I WAS INJURED.*DT

ON AN INCLINED BOAT RAMP W/PONTOON AND EMERG BRAKE ENGAGED DISCOVERED LOOSE DISENGAGED SHIFTER. GOOGLE SEARCH LED TO DISCOVERY DETERIORATED SHIFTER BUSHING. SAME AS RECALL V34. MANUALLY MANEUVERED SHIFTER ON TRANSMISSION IN ORDER TO DRIVE HOME. IN GOOGLE SEARCH FOR REMEDY, SAW COUNTLESS POSTS FROM JEEPS WITH SAME ISSUE WHICH COULD EASILY BE SAFETY RELATED. WAS EXCITED WHEN I SAW V34, BUT WASN'T SHOWING UP FOR MY JEEP. WHAT CONSTITUTES A RECALL FOR ONE VEHICLE AND NOT ANOTHER WHEN THE ISSUE IS IDENTICLE?

I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 50-55 MPH ON A STRAIGHT ROAD, WHEN THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND COME TO A STOP. I WAS VERY SHAKEN UP. I DID HAVE IT LOOKED OVER TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS WRONG. COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING (TIRES, TIE-IN RODS, BALL JOINTS, AND ALIGNMENT). THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I FOUND OUT THEY CALL THIS THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT DIDN'T SEE ONE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ. DON'T WAIT TILL SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SEVERE WOBBLING OF OUR VEHICLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 65 MPH, ON A CITY FREE WAY. THE WOBBLING HAS BEEN INITIATED WHERE SLABS OF ROAD MEET, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS NOT EVEN ONE. ON ALL WOBBLING OCCASIONS WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO FIND OURSELVES ON AN OUTSIDE LINE. WE WERE ABLE TO CONTROL THE WOBBLING BY HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL AND SLOWLY PULLING OVER ON TO THE SHOULDER. I HAVE HAD ALL THE BRAKES REPLACED, FRONT AND REAR SHOCKS AND COILS REPLACED AND TIRE LUBED. WE ARE STILL DRIVING THE VEHICLE VERY CAREFULLY BY AVOIDING ROUGH AREAS ON THE ROAD.

DEATH WOBBLE SHAKES TERRIBLY WHILE DRIVING AND MOST OFTEN AFTER HITTING A SLIGHT BUMP.

BOUGHT A USED 2009 JEEP, WHEN TAKING OFF IT JUMPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR.

EVERY FEW MINUTES THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WITH A CHIME THEN GOES AWAY AFTER A MILE OR SO COMES BACK ON

DRIVING TO WORK AT 5 AM, AND HIT A UNEVEN PATCH OF PAVEMENT AND FRONT END OF JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY; LIKE BOTH TIRES WENT FLAT. I INSPECTED, BUT TIRES WERE NOT DAMAGED. AFTER A FEW MORE DAYS OF THIS HAPPENING ON REGULAR OCCURENCE, I MADE APPT. AT AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP IN MY HOMETOWN. THEY INSPECTED AND SAID STEERING DAMPNER WENT BAD. A COUPLE DAYS LATER, SAME PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. MADE APPOINTMENT AND DEALER SUGGESTED THAT BALANCE AND ROTATION WAS NEEDED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. HAD THAT DONE AND PROBLEM STARTED UP AGAIN VERY NEXT DAY. MADE ANOTHER APPT. WITH SAME DEALER AND THEY INSPECTED. I WAS TOLD THE DAMPNER THAT WAS INSTALLED WEEK PREVIOUS WAS BAD, SO THEY REPLACED IT AGAIN. WHEN THEY FINISHED INSTALLING SECOND DAMPNER, I ASKED WHAT NEXT STEP WAS IF THIS DIDN'T REMEDY ISSUE. THEY SIMPLY TOLD ME "WE DON'T KNOW. REPLACING DAMPNER AND BALANCE/ROTATION OF TIRES USUALLY FIXES IT." WHILE SEARCHING THE WEB FOR SIMILAR ISSUES ASSOCIATED, I CAME ACROSS ARTICLE AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE JEEP "DEATH WOBBLE." AFTER READING THRU NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUMS, AND WATCHING RELATED VIDEOS, IT WOULD APPEAR THAT MY JEEP IS EXPERIENCING EXACT AFFECTS. CALLED CHRYSLER AND REGISTERED COMPLAINT ON 11 MARCH 2013. ODDLY ENOUGH, THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE "DEATH WOBBLE" NOR HAD ANY RECENT COMPLAINTS OF THESE ISSUES. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE!!!! *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT 50 MPH OR ABOVE ( HIGHWAY SPEEDS) AND HIT A BUMP THE WHOLE VECHILE WILL SHAKE SO VIOENTLY THAT YOU THINK YOU ARE LITERALLY GOING TO DIE. IF YOU STEP ON THE BRAKES, IT ONLY GETS WORSE. ON THE OUTSIDE THE TIRES WOBBLE IN OUT OUT, LOOKING AS THOUGH BOTH AXLES JUST BROKE OFF. I HAVE HAD MINE IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP OVER 10 TIMES AND HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR OVER 2 MONTHS. I WIL GET IT BACK FROM THE SHOP AND WITHIN A WEEK OF HAVING IT BACK THE DEATH WOBBLE ( SHAKING OF VECHILE) IS BACK AND ONLY GETS WORSE. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP THEN I BOUGHT IT AND THEY FOUND THAT THE LIFTKIT THAT WAS ALREADY INSTALLED ON MY JEEP BEFORE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW HAD MISSING PARTS AND THEY USED A LUG NUT FOR A NUT ON IT. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. THEY ARE JUST THROWING PARTS AT IT.
