I was driving approximately 55mph 10/22/2024 on a two-lane roadway in my 2009 Jeep Wrangler X (VIN: [XXX] ) when another vehicle pulled out in front of me. I struck that vehicle in a frontal collision. The force of the impact caused my Jeep to ride up and over the vehicle, enter the opposite lane of travel, and roll over a second vehicle before continuing to roll down the road. Despite the high-speed frontal impact and subsequent rollover, none of the airbags in my vehicle deployed, including the driver frontal airbag. The other vehicles involved in the crash did experience airbag deployment. The crash resulted in significant vehicle damage, including roof deformation consistent with rollover forces. Given the severity of the impact and rollover, I believe the airbags should have deployed. The failure of the airbag system may have contributed to the injuries I sustained. I am concerned that there was a failure of the airbag or restraint system in my vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Crash 1 injured

Turned on ignition and wipers and headlights turned on with no control, car ignition beeped constantly, all dash lights illuminated, all gauges stopped working (speedometer, fuel, tachometer, temperature) and there was a clicking noise on the transmission. Had to drive home hoping my electrical system wouldn’t shut down while driving home. Narrowed down to faulty TIPM.

My wrangler's brakes locked up repeatedly and I took it to the dealer. They said that it needs a new ABS module but that part is not made anymore. This is a safety issue and I now have a car that I can't sell, can't fix, and can't drive. My wife almost got into an accident.

When filling my tank, it spits gas back out of the nozzle. I’ve been told in several forums that this is a warranty issue and is to be replaced by a dealership for free. The item that needs to be repaired is a fuel filler tube. I don’t wanna spend the money on buying the part myself if this is something that is covered by the dealership through the factory. This happens every time I fill the tank and has been an ongoing problem for over a year almost 2 years. I have to fill it very slowly with gas as well. I cannot fill it fast as it will stop automatically. The part number is 52060489AH

The manual transmission malfunctioned, it is available for inspection upon request. My safety and others are put at risk due to the transmission not accepting first gear when in 1st gear, and it “pops” out of gear unexpectedly, leaving me and others in the middle of an intersection. The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by dealers, the manufacturer knows about the problem, to my knowledge. There were not any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure. This issue happens very frequently, and happens to thousands of others with this Jeep. And it’s extremely dangerous.

The passenger seatbelt locking mechanism is stuck and won't release, rendering the seatbelt unusable. When attempting to release the seatbelt, it locks and tightens, potentially choking the passenger. The dealership is unwilling to fix the issue for less than $1000.

The AC hose line is making contact with power steer hose line and burned the AC hose. It needs to be properly covered with some kind of mesh so it doesn't happen again

The ABS contoller has failed! This controls the Anti Lock system on the brakes. People can loose control of their vehicle with this failure. All dealers and parts warehouses are on back order with no ETA in sigh! This is very concerning and should be a safety recall because it is a well known maor Safety failure. Nobody has they part! This should be a safety issue and a recall just like the air bags/ sensors! All my lights on the dash came on.. ABS, Brakes, Anti Slip, Check Engine Light etc... I went right to my mechanice shop a few mile from were I was! It was a ABS Internal Failure! Obviosly a well known fact because everyone is having the same issue. This concerns braking and not locking up the brakes were you can loose control of the vehicle or no brake pedal response at all! Please look into it. We will be contacting our State Senanator to also bring up this concern. Thank you in advance for the help! Are we suppose to stop driving to work? No ETA in sight?

Fuel overflow problem. It happens every time I fill up the gas tank.

My Jeep Wrangler warning light cycled on under normal driving conditions. I drove it to my mechanic he said the code read was for the transmission. We checked the transmission fluid and it was filled with fluid. I drove it home into my driveway and I saw smoke and looked under the vehicle. I didn't find anything. When I stood up and walked around the vehicle I noticed smoke coming from the engine compartment. I lifted the hood and flames where present. I closed the hood and ran for fire extinguishers to put out the fire. The Jeep has always been maintained and only has 92k miles on it. The whole incident was captured on my Ring Camera.

Fire

Frank Hyundai sold this vehicle with significant structural damage to everything that is metal due to rust.

The contact owns a 2009 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V290000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Every time I fill the fuel tank it will overflow quite profusely. Not just a trickle, but more like a quart or more. Not only is this manufactured defect a COSTLY inconvenience, BUT A POSSIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. Not to mention stinking like gasoline when I arrive at my destination, which was Sunday church service the last time. Research has shown me there has been recalls for this issue on jeeps very near my vehicle's "birthday". I grew up pumping gas for my parents at the station, but now I have to be sure there is a "splash zone" of at least 5 feet of distance from the filler so innocent bystanders don't get splattered. I have been verbally attacked numerous times at the pump because of this manufacturer defect. Now I know perfection can be unattainable, lots of quirky parts in vehicles today, but i can honestly say this situation alone is keeping me from being an advocate of what i once thought was a great buy. I have replaced the steering damper that created the now legendary death wobble, and personally dealt with evap system part failures. Repairing those issues myself doesn't bother me, but the fuel tank is another story. This is something that should absolutely be addressed. If Im required by the government to pass an e-check so minimal fumes don't enter the atmosphere, then this needs to be replaced/corrected IMMEDIATELY because all these jeeps are dumping fuel on the ground all over the world! Also Ive learned about a mopar replacement filler tube with a check valve built in. I feel this issue should be recognized as a recall, or exposed for the environmental hypocrisy it creates.

Excessive heat on shoes while driving. Found defective and rusted floor boards on driver and passenger side.

TIPM failure while driving is very unsafe. Can cause lights, wipers, and other failures while driving, including intermittent dangerous stalling and non starting. Please don’t wait until deaths or injury occur before action of this widely known issue.

WHEN FILLING MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER WITH GAS, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS - OFTEN SO MUCH THAT IT SPILLS ONTO THE GROUND. NO MATTER HOW SLOWLY OR CAUTIOUSLY I PUMP THE FUEL, IT STILL OVERFLOWS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THERE IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE MATTER AND FOUND THAT APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I ASK THAT THIS BE DEEMED A RECALL - AND THAT THE COMPANY PAYS TO FIX IT. THIS MALFUNCTION COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND OTHER ISSUES RELATED TO GASOLINE EXPOSURE.

It has been a common known issue for at least the past year for Chrysler/JEEP to have faulty ABS modules in their vehicles. The ABS control module is a microprocessor that runs diagnostic checks of a vehicle's antilock braking system and processes information from wheel-speed sensors and the hydraulic brake system to determine when to release braking pressure at a wheel that's about to lock up and start skidding. It is probably one of the most important parts of a vehicle to make it safe. My local Jeep dealership said to me today that Chrysler plans to be able to allow them to order this part in February of 2023. I feel this is unacceptable, very unsafe and lives can be lost if the production of this part does not come sooner.

Hi.. My Jeep has the death wobble and that my Jeep is not included in the recall due ; according to the Jeep dealership. The recall has expired for my 2009 Jeep Wrangler. My kids and grand was in the car when my Jeep after hitting a bump started shaking in the middle of the highway. Please help me. I would get it fix on my own, but I can not afford it and this should not happen when it's a known issue and a safety issue. I can be reached at [XXX]. Thanks [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The contact owns a 2009 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V290000 (Air Bags) however, the dealer informed the contact that the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the cruise control was engaged but failed to respond. The contact stated that the cruise control button was located on the side of the steering wheel. The contact also stated that the steering wheel would make abnormal clicking and grinding sounds while turning. The ABS warning light, stability control warning light, and the parking brake warning light were illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the failures were related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V290000 (Air Bags). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

Any time you fuel this vehicle the fuel gushes out of the filler neck. We have tried several different fueling stations . Different times of the day and night. Nothing changes , the fuel still blows out. Sometimes even if you pump slow it will still spew back out. Not every station has the rubber splash guards on their nozzles. The reason this is a danger is very obvious. Gasoline has a low flash point , not to mention the health risk of the vapors. One freak spark unrelated to me fueling could have deadly consequences. I spoke to jeep headquarters about this issue. They refused to give me the lot number for the faulty fuel tanks. The fuel tanks that had issues was on 2008 and earlier jeep Wranglers. Our jeep was manufactured in 2/2009 and from what I have gathered uses the exact same tank as the 2008 and earlier tanks back to a certain year. Is it to far fetched to believe that the tank installed could be faulty , just like the earlier ones. Just so we are clear this has been occuring since we purchased the jeep and continues to. I would like jeep to replace the tank or the valve in the tank. They could install the retro fit repair . I don't feel as an owner we should have the Burden of replacing the tank.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH MALFUNCTIONED AND THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON OR OFF. ADDITIONALLY, THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHT FAILED TO OPERATE AND THE REVERSE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD INADVERTENTLY LY TURN ON. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE NOT YET DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER CLAY COOLEY DODGE LOCATED AT 1261 E AIRPORT FWY, IRVING, TX 75062 AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE THROTTLE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

TIPM HAS EVERYTHING GOING CRAZY. WHEN THE JEEP IS STARTED THE WRIPER START WIPING AND THE THE LIGHTS QUIT AND THERE ARE NO BLINKERS. ALSO HAPPEN WHEN IN MOVEMENT.

THERE IS NO SAFETY STOP ON THE FUEL LINE. EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED IT OVERFLOWS SPILLING GAS EVERYWHERE. THIS IS NOT NEW, BUT FINALLY REPORTING IT. THERE ARE TONS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET

FIRST GEAR KEEPS POPPING OUT WHEN CROSSING INTERCEPTION IT COULD GET DANGEROUS

DEAD WOBBLE ON JEEP AT 50 MPH SUV STARTS SHACKING LIKE IT'S GOING TO ROLL OVER

I HAVE A STOCK JEEP. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS TO FIX THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE AND THE MOPAR TRACK BAR IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO STOP IT! I HAVE REPLACED IT 3 TIMES THIS YEAR!! THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS! I LOVE MY JEEP BUT MAY HAVE TO GIVE IT UP!

WHILE FUELING THE PUMP WILL AUTOMATICALLY CLICK OFF, BUT FUEL WILL SPILL OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE, MYSELF, AND THE GROUND, HUGE SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN.

EXPERIENCEING THE WELL KNOWN DEATH WOBBLE IN FRONT SUSPENSION AT SPEEDS AROUND 50 MPH. HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE FIXES YET CONDITION STILL REMAINS. ALSO WILL GO INTO DEATH WOBBLE AT OTHER SPEEDS IF HIT A POTHOLE OR BRIDGE TO ROAD GAP, HUMP OR BUMP IN ROAD. THIS JEEP HAS NO CUSTOM MODIFICATIONS. 2009 JEEP WRANGLER WITH ONLY 26000 MILES, NEW TIRES, HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS DEATH WOBBLE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT NEW FROM THE DEALER. I ALSO OWN RAM TRUCKS AND FIXED THE DEATH WOBBLE ON MY 2005 RAM WITH NEW TRACK BAR BUSHINGS. BUSHINGS IN MY 2009 JEEP SHOW NO PLAY AT ALL.

FIRST GEAR POP OUT

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

Crash Fire

CRACKED FUEL TANK, FOUND THROUGH A SMOKE TEST

THE JEEP HAS LESS THAN 40.000 IS AND IS NOT USED OFF ROAD. ABOUT 55MPH THE FRONT END GETS A OUT OF CONTROL WOBBLE. YOU HAVE TO SLOW WAY DOWN FOR IT TO STOP. IT HAS DONE A FEW TIMES BEFORE. THE LAST TIME IT WAS 4/29/20.THE TRACK BAR WAS REPLACED WITH OEM PART AND STILL DOES IT. IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF WRANGLER JEEPS. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. DOING SOME RESEARCH IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. THIS JEEP IT COMPLETELY STOCK WITH THE SAME TIRES IT CAME WITH NEW.

AFTER DRIVING IN THE RAIN WITH NO LEAKS EVIDENT THE NEXT DAY THE CAR HAD THE WIPERS RUNNING EVEN WHEN THE SWITCH WAS IN "OFF". THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE SWITCHED "OFF" AND THE INSTRUMENT GAUGES ARE ALL NON FUNCTIONAL AS WELL AS THE ODOMETER AND DOME LIGHT. REMOVING BATTERY CABLE FIXES THE ISSUE ONE TIME THEN IT GOES BACK TO NOT WORKING

ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TURNED ON AND THERE WAS A CONSTANT CHIME. FUEL GAGE DROPPED TO EMPTY, I DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAD. THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER NO LONGER WORKED, I HAD NO IDEA HOW FAST/SLOW I WAS GOING. WINDSHIELD WIPERS STAYED ON CONSTANTLY, IN THE OFF POSITION, EVENTUALLY DESTROYING MY BLADES. HEADLIGHTS STAYED ON CONSTANTLY IN THE OFF POSITION AND BLINKERS WOULD NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. HORN WOULD RANDOMLY GO OFF AND DOORS WOULD LOCK & UNLOCK. AC BLEW HOT. IT KIND OF FELT LIKE MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I COULD SMELL STRONG FUMES FROM THE EXHAUST. I FIRST REPLACED THE TIPM AND SOME OF THE PROBLEMS WERE FIXED, BUT NOT ALL. I THEN REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ALL PREVIOUS UNRESOLVED ISSUES, WERE RESOLVED. WHEN THE PROBLEMS FIRST STARTED HAPPENING, IT ONLY HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY. IT HAPPENED AT RANDOM TIMES, DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS OR STREETS OR SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. AFTER A FEW MONTHS IT WAS CONSTANT AND WOULD START AS SOON AS VEHICLE WAS STARTED.

AT 16000 MILES, MY DRIVER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED. THE DEALER REPLACED. IT HAS NOW BEEN REPLACE 6 ADDITIONAL TIMES. THE DEALER WILL NOT HONOR THEIR ORIGINAL REPAIR WHICH OBVIOUSLY DID NOT WORK. I AM BREATHING INSAFE EXHAUST FUMES. CHRYSLER CORP HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM (TSB 09-001-13) NOW CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX.IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE FIRST 4 TIMES IT CRACKED. CLEARLY IT IS A WARPED HEAD OR VALVE PROBLEM. EITHER WAY EXHAUST COMES IN THE CAR.

MANUFACTURER JEEP AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ARE AWARE OF THE SAFETY RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING GET THE ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF FOR OVER 6 MONTHS NOW, AND JEEP AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (ANCHORAGE CHRYSLER CENTER) REFUSE TO FIX THE SAFETY ISSUE. I BROUGHT IN MY JEEP TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR A SCHEDULED RECALL FIX. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIX IT AT THAT TIME BECAUSE THEY NEEDED TO ORDER A PART THEY WEREN'T AWARE THE RECALL REQUIRED. THEY INFORMED ME THE PART WOULD ARRIVE IN ABOUT 4 DAYS AND THEY CONTACT ME. THAT WAS OVER TWO MONTHS AGO. THEY HAVEN'T CONTACTED ME AND ON THE RARE INSTANCES I GET A HOLD OF THEM THEY JUST SAY THEY NEED TO ORDER THE PART EVERY TIME. SO THEY HAVE NEVER ORDERED THE PART AND CLEARLY HAVE NO INTENTION OF DOING SO. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW BECAUSE OF JEEP AND IT'S DEALERSHIPS UNWILLINGNESS TO FULFILL THEIR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS.

MY BRAKES WENT OUT WHEN DRIVING IT DOWN THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO POPE DAVIS AND THEY SAID THE HYDRAULIC HOSES WENT BAD CAUSING THE CALLIPERS, ROTORS, AND PADS TO GO BAD. THEN I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS BUT WHEN I CALLED CHYSTLER THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WASN'T AFFECTED. YES OBVIOUSLY IT WAS. I SPENT $800 ON HAVING THE HYDRAULIC HOSES, CALLIPERS, PAD, AND ROTARS REPLACED.

SEVERE VIBRATION WHEN OVER 40 MPH. MAINLY AFTER HITTING A POT HOLE. DEATH WOBBLE !
