What owners report
STRONG FUEL ODOR, THIS JEEP ONLY HAS 8.000 MILES ON IT I BOUGHT IT USED, STRONG FUEL ODOR IN AND AROUND JEEP. HAVE IT IT IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM, I AM AFRAID OF A EXPLOSION THAT'S HOW BAD THE SMELL IS THE FUEL SMELL IS OVERPOWERING, LIKE I SAID MECHANICS AT A JEEP DEALER CAN'T FIND OUT WHAT IT IS AND WITH HAVING ONLY A LITTLE OVER 8,000 MILES IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS. THE ODOR OF GAS CAN BE STRONG WHILE DRIVING WITH THE AC UNIT GOING THROUGH THE VENTS AND WHEN IT IS STATIONARY IT IS EVEN STRONGER, SMELL STARTED MAY THE 15TH 2019
*POSSIBLE TAKATA RECALL* BUT RECALL WAS COMPLETED AND NOW UNKNOWN, REASON I SAY THAT IS THE THE SMOKE SEEMED TO BECOMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE AIR BAG.JEEP WAS STATIONARY AND WAS STARTED UP TO DRIVE AND BEGAN TO SMOKE WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVE WAY. THE SMOKE SMOKE CONTINUED FOR APPROXIMATELY 3-4 SECONDS AND WAS WHITISH BLUE IN COLOR. AFTER THE HAD DISSIPATED THERE WAS A DISTINCT SMELL OF AN ELECTRICAL BURN. ALL WINDOWS, BLOWER, AC, HEAT CONTROLS WORK AS NORMAL, RADIO AND SPEAKERS WORK AS NORMAL TOO. I'VE HAD MY JEEP SENSE 2012 AND HAVE NEVER SEEN OR EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE BEFORE.
WHENEVER THE GAS TANK IS FILLED, THE GAS WILL SPURT OUT OF WHERE THE NOZZLE IS INSERTED. WHEN THE PUMP STOPS, THE GAS WILL SPURT OUT OF THE TANK AND DRIP DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.
WHEN DRIVING ON A BUMPY ROAD, SOMETIMES THE CAR GOES INTO A REALLY SERIOUS VIBRATION MODE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I THOUGHT I HAD A FLAT TIRE. I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED; ALL TIRES WERE FINE, AND I DROVE AWAY LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THIS CONDITION HAS OCCURRED THREE SEPARATE TIMES, NOW I MOVE TO THE RIGHT AND SLOW WAY DOWN AND THE VIBRATION STOPS. I'M AFRAID TO TAKE THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY.
THE FIRST OF MANY TIMES HAPPENED ONE MORNING AS I WAS GETTING INTO VEHICLE. THE HORN, WINDSHIELD WIPERS . THE WIPERS SPRAYED ALL THE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. I COULD NOT TURN THESE OFF. AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT CRANK FOR SOME TIME AND THE HORN NO LONGER WORKED. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY HORN AND REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING, HORN AND A FUSE. A FEW WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING, THE HORN, WIPERS AND LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AND I COULD NOT TURN THESE OFF! EVEN AFTER REMOVING THE KEY, THE ENGINE AND ALL THE ABOVE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF! ONCE AGAIN, I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY IN ORDER TO SHUT THESE COMPONENTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE! T
