Takata recall; s33/ NHTSA 16v-290. While travelling forward at approximately 35 to 40 MPH in a straight direction, a vehicle turned left in front of me and our vehicles collided. Unable to apply any sort of braking, my jeep's front center and front left side struck the left front, left front quarter-panel, and driver's side door of the other vehicle. My jeep spun approximately 45 degrees to the left before coming to a stop with the other vehicle. My airbag did not deploy as a result of the crash.
Purchased this jeep wrangler unlimited 4 door 2 wheel drive 12/26/2006 new, while driving in town between traffic lights after complete stop I start to move forward slowly to the next red light approx 500 feet at about 25 MPH. The radio turns off and as I look at the radio all of the dash warning lights are on. By the time I removed my foot from the gas pedal the radio turned back on and the warning lights turned off. I continued to drive home for the next 20 minutes at 70 MPH.
During normal driving, my vehicle will stall. Has happened twice since I have owned it (5 months). Total loss of all power steering, brakes, and electrical in the vehicle. Dealer told me on both occasions that since the vehicle did not report a code in the computer, there was nothing they could do.
Every time I fill up the jeep with gasoline the gasoline will spill out all over the side of the jeep, just as the automatic shut off from the gas pump activates. This started happening this last summer and is still occurring.
Two weeks ago I when to the dealer to detail clean my jeep, I park at the entrance of the shop, when they where going to take my jeep in for cleaning, it will not start, they had to push the jeep into the shop, after checking it for a wild, they told me that it burn a fuse, they replace it and everything was find. Last week when I came out of my job, the jeep will not start again, I just replace the fuse and it was all fine.
