2005 Jeep Wrangler

As I was driving home from work on Feb. 14, 2023, in Rocky Hill, NJ. the vehicle developed a sudden loss of steering control. I had it towed to Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of Princeton, NJ. The service manager informed me that the area of the frame to which the steering gear box is bolted had completely rotted, and the steering box had separated. The car was not driveable and could not be repaired. The vehicle will be available for inspection until April 15, 2023.

Ecm computer , o2 heater sensor from ecm and controls transmission shift points . Replaced o2 sensors and transmission is controlled by ecm not shifting correctly will stay in first gear and hard shift to second can create loss of control in wet weather conditions.

The dashboard will display odd behavior and all of a sudden the ignition will cut. Total loss of power. This has happened in the past with children in the vehicle. Very dangerous. Resetting the key will reset but it is random.

Engine failed, speedometer, tach went to 0, all gauges went to 0, power steering failed after I declutched and then coasted to a full stop (power brakes failed but still had some brake input) safely on the shoulder of an off ramp. (This not the first time this has happened, however it was the first time pulling a full trailer, so I drive as if it could happen again) Vehicle was at Branhaven Jeep in Branford, CT last July @ 64429 miles... they were unable to duplicate. It is now at Gengras Jeep in East Hartford, CT, same story. I've asked Gengras to replace the ignition switch again. I have the ignition switch from Branhaven which I found the copper plate worn off to steel and evidence of arcing on the contacts

The contact owns a 2005 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle loss motive power. Several gauges became inoperable with unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled over and waited approximately 15 minutes before the vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The ignition switch was replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 66,666.

ECU STOPED WORKING NO REASON.

THE PCM HAS A KNOWN HIGH FAILURE RATE DUE TO THE VIBRATION. THE COMPONENTS ARE COVERED IN A RESIN THAT YOU CAN NOT REMOVE. THE PCM IS 500-1300 TO GET A REPAIRED AND REPROGRAMED ONE. I HAVE A 2005 AND THE PCM HAS FAILED AND GIVES BAD PERFORMANCE AND DOES NOT RUN ON TEH 14.7 STOKES FOR AIR/FUEL/ IT DUMPS FUELS AND I DO NOT THINK IT MEETS EMISSON LEVELS IN THIS CONDITION.

: I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. FOR THE LAST 10+ YEARS MY ACCELERATOR HAS STUCK AT FULL THROTTLE 5-7 TIMES. EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A SHOP - THEY HAVE TEST DRIVEN IT BUT NO STICKING. LAST WEDNESDAY (5/22) AT A 4 WAY STOP SIGN MY ACCELERATOR STUCK AGAIN AT FULL THROTTLE & I HIT A CAR. NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT I WAS GIVEN A CITATION WITH WITNESSES TO THE ACCELERATOR BEING STUCK. THE MAN AT THE SHOP TOLD ME HIS JEEP WRANGLER HAD A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED JEEP CORPORATION & FILED A REPORT (CASE [XXX]) WITH A WORKER "ALY". SHE TOLD ME TO PARK MY JEEP AND AN INSPECTOR WOULD BE THERE TO INVESTIGATE. THAT WAS MORE THAN A WEEK AGO & 5 CALLS TO 1-877-426-5337. CAN YOU HELP ME? MY INSURANCE CO. WANTS ME TO GET ESTIMATES FOR MY DAMAGE BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DRIVE ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE ACCELERATOR STICKING & NOT BEING INSPECTED BY JEEP RECALL INSPECTORS. PLEASE HELP ME...'.

Keep wobble almost caused head on collision afraid to drive vehicle over 55 mph

MY WRANGLER HAS SEVER RUST DAMAGE ON THE FRAME, WINDSHIELD FRAME, PASSENGER ROCKER, AND FIREWALL. THE FRAME HAS ROTTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND CAUSED THE TRANSFER CASE MOUNTING BOLTS TO PULL THROUGH. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT LUCKILY I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY HEADED TO WORK. THE WINDSHIELD FRAME RUST CAUSED HOLES THAT ALLOWED WATER TO LEAK INSIDE THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE FLOOR TO RUST FROM THE INSIDE OUT AS WELL. THESE ISSUES CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN WITH EACH NEW REVISION TO THIS MODEL. WHEN AND WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THE COMPANY TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE?

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND PULLING FROM MY DRIVEWAY ONTO A CITY STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENED. BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGER CENTER SECTIONS OF THE FRAME RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT WITH NO VISIBLE INDICATION ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE FRAME RAILS. WATER AND DEBRIS ENTER THROUGH HOLES USED IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND DUE TO NO DRAIN HOLES IN ANY OF THE LOWER POINTS THE WATER AND DEBRIS ROT THE FRAME AWAY. IN MY CASE THE TRANSMISSION PAN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE FELL FREE WHEN THE BOTTOM OF THE FRAME RAIL ON THAT SIDE CRUMBLED WHILE ENTERING A CITY ROAD FROM A PRIVATE DRIVE AT LESS THAN 5 MPH. DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE TRANSMISSION, TRANSFER CASE, ONE AXLE, AND THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A PRIVATE GARAGE BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PLACE IT ON A LIFT TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE AS THE FRAME WOULD HAVE CRUMBLED AND SNAPPED IN ADDITIONAL PLACES THUS CREATING A HAZARD AND POSSIBLY DEADLY SITUATION THE TECHNICIAN INSPECTING THE DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN PLACED ON A FLATBED AND BROUGHT BACK TO MY HOME.

At every fuel fill up, gasoline splashes back out onto the vehicle, the person filling the vehicle and creates a very unsafe puddle of gasoline on the ground. There is never a time that it does not happen. I would be readily available to make my vehicle available for inspection of this concern. Chrysler has issued recalls for this exact problem on several of their vehicle models all within the same time period of manufacturing. The fuel tank inlet check valve is a widely known and dangerous issue that should be seriously considered to repair the remaining vehicles on the road with this problem. It has been documented by numerous owners of Jeep Wranglers from 2005-2006 while the same issue forced a recall of the same Jeeps in later model years, 2007-2008. The Jeep has been inspected by a certified mechanic where I was notified of much of this information. With the amount of gasoline that spills out and the motorist re-enters their vehicle, there could be a static charge that could ignite the gasoline and cause extreme personal harm and property damage. There is no indication or warning sign to alert you that it is going to splash out gasoline. I am left to rarely fill my fuel tank to the maximum level to avoid being soaked in gasoline and irritating my skin or worse. I have owned this Jeep for going on 4 years and it has been a concern since day 1. I am noting this report of having been injured but the injuries at this point are only skin irritations as a result of gasoline coming in contact with our skin. I also noted the date as the first time this happened but as mentioned before, it happens or will happen at every fill up.

TAKATA RECALL, OIL PUMP DRIVE GEAR, PCM POWERTERRAIN CONTROL MODULE I BELIEVE NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED I HAVE A FAILURE OF POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD LIKE ITS GETTING TO MUCH OR TO LITTLE FUEL AND LAST WEEK MY OIL PRESSURE WILL NOT BUDGE MY GAUGES ARE SLOWLY GOING OUT ON MY DASH AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH BLINKS RAPIDLY WITH THE CHECK GAUGES BECAUSE OF MY OLD PRESSURE I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE PLACES TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AND THEY SAY IT IS THE OIL PUMP DRIVE GEAR AND THE PCM NEEDING TO BE REPROGRAMMED ALONG WITH THAT BEING OUT OF LINE MY GROUND CONNECTIONS SEEM TO BE BAD BUT I REPLACE ALL OF THEM FROM THE BATTERY TO THE ENGINE BLOCK THE DASH AND A COUPLE MORE IT HAS PRESSURE BUT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT. ALL OF THIS STARTED HAPPENING AT ABOUT 143,000 MILES I HAVE REPLACED MULTIPLE PARTS INCLUDING THE OIL PUMP OIL SENSOR ALL OF THE GROUND WIRES AND TERMINALS AND CHECKED AS MANY RELAYS AS I CAN. ALONG WITH MY DASH WHEN I HAD GOT IT IT HAD 130,000 MILES ON AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BLINKED AND NOTICED A LOSS IN POWER WHEN I DRIVE SINCE I'VE HAD IT, IT RUNS THROUGH SPARK PLUGS AND COILS PACKS MONTHLY AND HAS SINCE I'VE GOTTEN IT I DROVE IT TO GEORGIA AND BACK AND IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GETTING WORSE AND JUST KEPT GETTING WORSE AND WORSE UNTIL LAST WEEK MY OIL PRESSURE GAUGE SAYS I HAVE NO PRESSURE AND THE ENGINE HAS OIL PRESSURE BUT YOU CAN TELL IT'S GOING MORE AND MORE OUT OF LINE. I KNOW WHEN I LOOK UP MY VIN NUMBER IT SAYS IT'S BEEN UPDATED SINCE MARCH 14, 2019 BUT WHEN I LOG INTO ANOTHER APP IT SAYS I HAVE RECALLS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR HOW TO FIX IT BUT IT DEFINITELY IS THE THREE RECALLS THAT WAS PUT ON THE 2005 JEEP WRANGLER TJ.

JEEP STARTED STALLING EITHER WHEN PARKED OR IN TRAFFIC. DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL UNIT (PCM OR COMPUTER). TWICE ENGINE STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING. ONCE AS I WAS MAKING A TURN LUCKILY HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO PULL OVER AND ANOTHER TIME GETTING READY TO PROCEED AFTER A RED LIGHT IT STALLED ALL OF A SUDDEN AND AGAIN ABLE TO PULL OVER. I HAVE FOUND MANY JEEP OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND I AM AWARE JEEP IS AWARE BUT NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN DONE. STARTED MOTHERS DAY 2018 AND A FEW TIMES UP TILL JULY WHEN I JUST PARKED IT AND HAD IT TOWED TO 3 SHOPS INCLUDING DEALERSHIP.

THE POOR DESIGN OF THE GAS TANK ROLLOVER SAFETY FLOAT BALL IN THIS VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ALLOW GASOLINE TO SPLASH BACK OUT OF THE GAS FILLER NECK OF THE VEHICLE EVERY SINGLE TIME AT AN AUTO SHUT OFF FUELING NOZZLE IS USED. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT BUT WHICH THEY OFFERED A REMEDY THAT HAD AN AGE OR MILEAGE LIMIT. THIS IS A GROSS SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD WARRANTY T A RECALL BEFORE SOME ONE BLOWS UP.

HOOD FLUTTER WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AT OR ABOVE 50MPH. HAD TO REPLACE LATCHES WITH A NEW SYSTEM TO ELIMINATE THE FLUTTER AND POSSIBILITY OF IMPENDING FAILURE.

EVERY TIME I FILL THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE, WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE 'BURPS' OUT AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY CHECK VALVE INSTALLED FROM THE FACTORY THAT STOPS WORKING BECAUSE OF THE ETHANOL IN THE FUEL. JEEP HAS RECALLED LATER WRANGLERS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT LEFT US 2005-2006 OWNERS STUCK WITH THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY, HEALTH, AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. I WILL BE GLAD TO SEND YOU A VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING.

EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK FUEL SPILLS OUT THE FILLER NECK CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT FUEL SPILL. THE JEEP IS STATIONARY AND ON LEVEL GROUND AT THE GAS STATION

GAS TANK OVERFLOW. ANYTIME I FILL MY TANK, A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SHOOTS BACK OUT OF THE TANK, DRIPPING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR, AND OFTEN SPLASHING ME OR GAS ATTENDANT. NOT ONLY IS THIS DANGEROUS, IT IS ALSO DAMAGING THE PLASTIC AND PAINT ON MY CAR, AS WELL AS WASTING GAS.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT ALMOST EVERY MANUFATURER IS RECALLING AIR BAGS FROM YEARS 2002 AND UP, I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THE VEHICLE IS TOO OLD AND NOT ENOUGH OF THEM ARE STILL AROUND, WHICH IS NOT TRUE. THERE ARE LOTS OF OLDER JEEPS STILL IN SERVICE AS OFF ROAD VEHICLES, BUT MINE IS A DAILY DRIVE VEHICLE. HOW DO I KNOW IF MINE WILL WORK WHEN NEEDED? KNOCK ON WOOD IT WILL NEVER BE NEEDED, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW I'M SAFE WITH MY FAMILY. MY 2005 WRANGLER IS STRONG
