FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X (JUST PURCHASED THIS PAST SATURDAY 3/15/14) OVERFLOWS GASOLINE WHEN FILLING IT UP. IT DOESN'T INDICATE LIKE OTHER VEHICLES THAT IT'S NEARING FULL BY SHUTTING OFF, IT KEEPS GOING AND SPLASHES OUT, EVERY TIME YOU FILL IT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EACH TIME I FILL UP AND SET THE GAS PUMP TO 'AUTO FILL' THE GASOLINE SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND THE PUMP FAILS TO SHUT OFF. THIS OCCURS WITH NO WARNING AND I WAS SPLASHED WITH GASOLINE AGAIN YESTERDAY. I DO NOT TRUST THE CAR USING THE AUTOMATIC FEATURE AS THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGHT THE JEEP NEW IN 2007. I WAS DOUSED WITH GASOLINE YESTERDAY AND I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR NATURE FOUND ONLINE FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY WERE OF NO HELP AND CLAIM NOT TO BE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. I THINK THIS IS MORE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE AND IS OF A PARTICULAR SAFETY CONCERN AS GASOLINE IS SPEWING OUT FROM THE FUEL RECEPTACLE. PLEASE FOLLOW UP WITH CHRYSLER AND SEE IF A SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH WHEN THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING SO VIOLENTLY I THOUGHT I HAD LOST A WHEEL. I COULD BARELY CONTROL THE CAR AND WAS SURROUNDED BY 18 WHEELERS. I WAS HORRIFIED. I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER AND GOT OUT EXPECTING TO SEE A FLAT TIRE BUT EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I GOT BACK IN AND DROVE DOWN THE ROAD ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN I WENT OVER 55MPH. I CALLED EMERGENCY SERVICE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY "FIXED" IT AND CHARGED ME FOR THE WORK DONE. BUT WHEN I DROVE IT AGAIN AT 53MPH WHEN I HIT A BUMP IT STARTED VIBRATING AGAIN. I NOW NEVER DRIVE OVER 50MPH OVER THE FEAR OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN. I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND IT IS CALLED DEATH WOBBLE AND JEEP WILL NOT HELP US. I HAVE NOT ALTERED MY VEHICLE AT ALL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT AND NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. IT IS LIKE DRIVING ON THE WORST WASHBOARD ROAD YOU EVER SAW AT 60MPH SURROUNDED BY TRAFFIC. IT IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER. THE CAR SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT THE WHEELS WOBBLE. PLEASE LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERNET. A REPORTER IN CALIFORNIA DID A STORY ON IT. PLEASE DO A RECALL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING JEEPS SINCE 1986 AND THIS IS THE 4TH JEEP I HAVE OWNED. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. MY LAST JEEP HAD 131,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAD NO PROBLEMS. JEEP HAS OBVIOUSLY CHANGED THE DESIGN OR IS USING CHEAPER PARTS. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE JEEP BRAND. *TR

SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING ROUGHLY 60-65MPH ON HIGHWAY 5 FROM SAN DIEGO TO LA THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL OF MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER DRIVING OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT. I DECREASED SPEED FROM 60-65MPH TO ROUGHLY 30-40 MPH PAYING ATTENTION TO TRAFFIC AS I VEERED FROM THE 2ND FAST LANE TO THE SHOULDER. THE VIOLENT SHAKING CONTINUED AS I PULLED THE VEHICLE TO SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY UNTIL I REACHED A SPEED OF ABOUT 15-20MPH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO 2 DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERSHIPS; ONE IN SAN DIEGO AND ONE IN LA. THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I REPLACED THE SHOCKS, TIRES, AND DAMPER ALONG WITH MULTIPLE ALIGNMENTS AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I'M SO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT THAT I RENTED A CAR.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55-60MPH, THERE WERE SOME MILD TAR BUMPS IN THE ROAD THAT I DROVE OVER AND THE CAR PROCEEDED TO THE DEATH WOBBLE. IT IS EXACTLY AS EVERYONE ELSE HAS NOTED, THE JEEP FELT LIKE ALL 4 WHEELS WERE COMING OFF, THE JEEP SHOOK VOILENTLY, WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO HANDLE. I SLOWED MY SPEED AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD. THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO COME APART. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO CHRYSLER AND TO THIS ORGANIZATION, WHY WON'T YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT????? WITH ONLY 33K MILES, I NOW HAVE TO GET A NEW CAR BECAUSE I AM IN FEAR OF DRIVING THIS ONE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF AN EXPRESSWAY....IT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC AND DEADLY....IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE WAITING FOR? HOPE IT ISN'T ANYONE YOU KNOW WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN!

SUSPENSION, STEERING, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY GOING AROUND 60MPH, HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY MY HEART WENT OUT OF MY CHEST. I FLIPPED ON MY HAZARDS AND MADE MY WAY OVER TO THE SLOW LANE, BUT THE SHAKING STOPPED. WHEN I ARRIVED TO WORK, I RESEARCHED THE "SHAKING" AND FOUND ANOTHER NAME FOR IT, "DEATH WOBBLE." I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THE PARTS THAT CAUSE THIS, IT HASN'T CAUSED ANY FATALITIES YET; BUT IT WILL. *TR

MY HOT OIL LIGHT COMES ON GOING ON INCLINES IN 2WD OR 4WD WHEN MY TRANNY FLUID GETS HOT IT SHOOTS FLUID OUT OF THE TRANNY LINES @ FITTINGS! I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAY I NEED A TRANNY COOLER BUT I FEEL THEY SHOULD DO THE WORK SINCE THEY KNOW OF THE ISSUES ALL 4DR AUTO JKS ARE HAVING AND SINCE THEY DID INSTALL THE HOTOIL LIGHT ON IT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO ! ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO HANDLE WLD B GREAT! IT VERY WELL COULD CATCH ON FIRE AND THERE ARE A TON OF JEEPS THAT HAVE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ! THANKS *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHEN DRIVING CAUSING THE DRIVER TO GIGGLE THE STICK SHIFT AND GET IT IN GEAR. THIS TAKES ATTENTION AWAY FROM DRIVING AND GETTING THE CAR IN GEAR. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER CROSSING OVER A BRIDGE, THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. BRAKING DID NOT BRING THE CONDITION UNDER CONTROL. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND ABLE TO PULL ONTO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. THE SHAKING STOPPED WHEN MY SPEED FELL BELOW 25MPH. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AT APPROX 50,000 MILES. THIS CONDITION HAS NEVER OCCURRED BEFORE. CLEARLY THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR OUTRIGHT LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, OR POTENTIAL FOR COLLISION FROM BEHIND DUE TO NEED FOR RAPID DECELERATION WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
I HAVE LOVED THIS JEEP SINCE THE DAY I GOT IT, AT ABOUT A FEW YEARS AFTER OWNING IT I HAD EXPERIENCED SOMETHING I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE!!! I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 45 MILES AN HOUR WHEN I MUST HAVE HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, MY JEEP CONTINUED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I COULD NOT STOP IT UNLESS I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TRIED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I THEN WENT DIRECTLY TO MY MECHANIC WHO THEN INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, HE FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND SAID HE DID NOT EXPERIENCE IT HIMSELF. I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE SHOCKS,NEW TIRES, BRAKES, STEERING PIN AND STILL HAVE THAT PROBLEM, I DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS UNTIL I STARTED LOOKING IT UP ON THE INTERNET, THERE IS EVEN A VIDEO OF SOMEONE DRIVING A JEEP EXACTLY LIKE MINE AND IT IS DOING THE SAME THING. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS, IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED WHEN THEY ARE IN ICE OR RAIN!!!! WHY HASN'T ANYONE STEPPED UP TO HAVE THIS FIXED? I HAVE CALLED JEEP ON IT AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD COMPLAINTS BUT NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT! REALLY?? HOW ABOUT YOU CLIMB INTO MY VEHICLE AND HAVE THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPEN TO YOU WITH YOUR CHILD IN IT??? I AM 2 PAYMENTS AWAY FROM PAYING OFF MY JEEP, THIS JUST DISGUSTS ME! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!!!!! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I BOUGHT THE JEEP IN JULY OF 2013. EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK THE FUEL SPILLS OUT ON THE GROUND, ME, AND THE JEEP'S BODY. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY STATION, EVERY TIME. I HAVE TAKEN TO MATHEMATICALLY FIGURING OUT THE AMOUNT OF FUEL I NEED TO ADD TO THE TANK AT EACH FILL UP SO IT DOESN'T FILL, BUT IF I'M WRONG IT SPILLS OUT ALL OVER ME! *TR

ENGINE
PURCHASED 2007 WRANGLER SAHARA NEW. MAINTAINED VEHICLE AS SUGGESTED BY MANUFACTURER. NOTICED EARLY ON THE 3.8 L V6 BURNED OIL. WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL, SO I ADDED A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. AT 51,000 MILES NOTICED A LOUD KNOCK. IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN. I HAD CHANGED THE OIL AT 50,000 MILES BUT SOMEHOW LOST ALL OF THE OIL IN 1,000 MILES. NEVER HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OIL WARNING LIGHT, NO OIL SHOWING ON THE GROUND. DEALER WANTED $7,000 TO INSTALL REMANUFACTURED LONG BLOCK. WOULD NOT CALL CHRYSLER ON MY BEHALF EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD BEEN THE ONE SERVICING THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE OUT OF WARRANTY. THREE DIFFERENT CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO SPEAK WITH ANYONE ABOVE THEM AS THE DECISION (MADE IN ONE HOUR) WAS FINAL. THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME AN ADDRESS OR FAX NUMBER SO THAT I COULD SUBMIT MY SERVICE RECORDS TO SHOW THAT I HAD MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE. IN FACT, THEY INDICATED THAT NOT ONLY WAS A QUART OF OIL EVERY 700-1,000 MILES WAS PERFECTLY NORMAL, THAT IS WAS ALSO NORMAL TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE. A QUICK REVIEW ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THOUSANDS WITH THIS PROBLEM. 650 SIGNATURES ARE ON ONE PETITION ALONE THAT SHOW THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. *TR
