Air bags
Unrecalled, unreplaced TAKATA air bags. This particular Jeep has been operated in high temperature/high humidity conditions and which was known to the manufacturers to cause potentially fatal injuries to the driver and front seat passenger. The truck was built by Daimler Chrysler (2006), and neither they, nor the successor companies Fiat/Chrysler and Stellantis have made no efforts whatsoever to contact the owners (I am the original owner from day 1) to effect repair or replacement of the defective air bags and initiator units. The unit was extensively operated in the Paris , Texas area for 2-1/2 years in extremely high humidity/hot temperatures in normal service. They should be considered…

The ECU/PCU has developed a failure to control the idle air intake valve due to an unrepairable defect on the computer. IT can shut the engine down without warning while running, especially when approaching stops. IT requires the operator to try to control the issue using the accelerator pedal to override it and prevent the engine from cutting out. It can happen without warning, and de[pending on the skill level of the driver, an accident can easily result. PLUS there are NO repair parts for the ECU/PCU in the parts system, resulting in an unsafe and unmaintainable vehicle on the highways. The ECU /PCU was used one year only, so the Chrysler engineers knew they had a defect. No older Jeep…

The frame of this vehicle has deteriorated to the point of becoming a safety hazard. The frame has rusted through over 50% of the thickness (internally) and has broken through to the outside in several areas around where the suspension and transmission attach. I recognize that this is an older vehicle, but it has larger percentage of rust than other vehicles I have owned and I do not believe it should be this deteriorated. I believe there must have been a manufacturing defect in the design (water/dirt) can get trapped in the frame or the material used was of insufficient corrosion resistance. Component Malfunction: Frame Structural Integrity Safety Risk: Drivetrain/Suspension could detach…

December 19th, 2022 Gentlemen/Ladies: This vehicle has been operated over five (5) of its sixteen (16) years in East and West Texas, in an extremely high heat and high humidity environment. It has been also in Central Illinois for about 9 years in a similar environment, and it is known to have the Takata air bag initiator units that are prone to an over 50% dangerous explosion failure rate when actuated. Given that this vehicle is soon to be exported to an equally high heat and humidity environment in service, may I ask why haven't you required Chrysler/Jeep to recall and repair the units in question? Given that there are no doubt several million Jeep Wranglers and Wrangler Unlimiteds with…
Dec 19, 2022Fuel/propulsion system
Vehicleâs inlet check valve for gas tank does not work properly when tank is filled at fueling stations. Does not trigger gas pumps to stop causing overflow and spilling on person / clothing / vehicle and gas station property. This is a known issue for 2005-2006 Jeep Wranglers. The issue was repaired by manufacturer for newer Jeep Wranglers. Currently no manufacturer ownership on remediation issue and/or recall for 2005-2006 model year Jeep Wranglers.

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL, THE FUEL SPLASHES OUT GOING OVER ME, MY FENDERS, SIDE OF JEEP AND THE GROUND. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.AND JEEP SHOULD BE LIABLE. GOD FORBID IF THIS CAUSED A FATALITY.
