Filed Aug 6, 2019 · Driver assistance, Electrical · 124,000 miles · CA

Vehicle would stall and put itself into limp mode upon driving at highway speeds. Happened numerous times over the course of a 3 week period. Obd-ii threw codes pertaining to failing sensors in egr, camshaft and acceleration pedal. Read many online forums about other with jeep and chrysler vehicles having faulty tipm units. My car will now not run without sounding like it's being starved of fuel. I fear the bad tipm may have also caused the fuel pump to go bad. Chrysler was less than helping in suggesting I bring the vehicle in and was told my warranty (if I even had one still valid) could be voided for bringing the vehicle to a shop my friend owns for the repairs instead of a dealership. This car has been nothing but problems since I purchased it two years ago. I'm in the thousands of dollars in non routine repairs and owe too much on it to walk away from it. It's my daily driver and have no other vehicle to get to work or around.

This vehicle frequently experiences fuel "spit-back" on filling. It was manufactured in 10/06, five months before the date in jeep's lifetime fuel tank replacement extended guaranty for spit-back. Also, the tank began leaking after every fill up. It leaked on the ground and/or with gas fumes present until the tank level got below 1/2 tank the leak source was where the fuel pump is inserted into the top of tank. The iron clamps and lock ring for the fuel pump are located in a depressed "bowl" at the top of the tank. Water accumulates and remains in the bowl causing the lock ring and clamps to rust. The rust expands and cracks the plastic that the fuel pump is made of. The repair requires replacing the fuel tank, lock ring, and fuel pump. In my opinion, this is a design or manufacturing problem and these conditions cause serious environmental and safety problems. I informed jeep (case number 30126422) on 9/15/16 and they declined to do anything. I have spent $1,019.60 on emergency and permanent repairs. Photos of the tank as it was removed from the jeep showing "the bowl" and rust, rusted clamps, and cracked fuel pump are attached. Please let me know if I can provide any further information.

Incidents of engine stall; airbag non-deployment; random horn, headlight, taillight, door lock, instrument panel and windshield wiper activity; failure of fuel pump shutoff resulting in unintended acceleration; and fires. All the dash back lights come off and on randomly especially the heater controls. Air bag light is always on. Air bag light and beeper flash and beep all the time and no mechanic does not know what to do about it. Very flushterating to drive w airbag beeping . No resale value due to all the above things. Will you buy it? Horn has now stopped working and lights behind the heater do not work either.

When filling up with fuel at the gas station, when the tank gets near full, the fuel pump will shut off, but not until fuel spits back out of the fuel fill tube, out onto the outside of the jeep and into the ground. There is a lifetime warranty recall for jeep wranglers for this problem, that starts with vehicles manufactured after march 1, 2007. However, our vehicle was manufactured in november, 2006.

During fueling, after the auto-shutoff of the fuel pump stops the fuel dispensing, fuel overflows (approx. 1/2-1 gallon) from the fuel tank past the still in-place pump handle causing fuel to spill on the side of the vehicle, the ground, and on anyone standing directly beside the fuel inlet.
