FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY BUILD DATE ON MY JEEP SAHARA WAS 10/2006. IT STARTED SHOOTING GAS BACK OUT THE FILL PIPE APP. A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED IT AND IT IS STILL DOING IT ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP REGARDLESS OF THE GAS STATION OR THE SPEED THE PUMP IS PUMPING (SLOW MEDIUM OR FAST).IT HAS SHOT GAS OUT AS FAR AS A FOOT FROM THE JEEP, SPRAYING ON ME A COUPLE DIFFERENT TIMES. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT SOME JEEPS AFTER A BUILD DATE FROM MARCH 2007 THRU 2008 ARE BEING REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE EARLIER BUILD DATES ARE NOT SINCE IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED A 2007 FOUR DOOR STEEL BLUE JEEP WRANGLER FROM A DEALERSHIP IN KANSAS. FROM THE START, I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHENEVER WOULD HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE CAME WITH AFTERMARKET TIRES AND RIMS THAT WERE 18 INCHES, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LIKE THAT. WHEN I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD 1ST THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT. THEN I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE TIRES, THEN I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A HEAVY DUTY STEERING DAMPER. I HAVE SINCE GOT THE TIRES THAT ORIGINALLY CAME WITH THE VEHICLE PUT BACK ON THEM, A NEW HEAVY DUTY STEERING DAMPER, BY THE DEALERSHIP, THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE JEEP, IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD. I HAVE TO BRING MY VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP, NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING 10 MPH OR 65 MPH, PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND PULL OVER IF I CAN, BEFORE RESUMING DRIVING. I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 22000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I EVEN PURCHASED A 2ND VEHICLE TO AVOID DRIVING THE JEEP. BUT, I AM STILL PAYING ON THIS JEEP AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT WITHOUT FEAR AND ANXIETY ABOUT A POSSIBLY COLLISION OR ACCIDENT WHICH I EXPERIENCE EVERY TIME I'M BEHIND THE WHEEL. THIS WINTER, I HAD TO DRIVE IT FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS BECAUSE MY CAR WAS DOWN FOR REPAIRS, BUT SINCE I HAD CAR FIXED I HAVE SINCE PARKED THE JEEP AGAIN. I NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP, NOT JUST FOR ME BUT FOR OTHER JEEP OWNERS, IF YOU ARE SO INCLINED PLEASE CHECK OUT "JK DEATH WOBBLE" AS IT IS TERMED ON THE INTERNET AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND YOU WILL KNOW WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED SINCE 2007, AND MANY JEEP OWNERS AS WELL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. I EXPERIENCE THE "DEATH WOBBLE" EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE JEEP WITHOUT FAIL, ABOUT 2-3 TIMES DEPENDING ON THE ROAD CONDITION, POTHOLES, BUMPS, AND UNEVEN WEAR. *TR

EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AT THE GAS STATION, IT OVERFLOWS ABOUT 1/2 GALLON OF FUEL DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. I HAVE TRIED USING DIFFERENT PUMP STATIONS, BUT NOTHING STOPS IT FROM OVERFLOWING. *TR

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN 50 AND 65 MPH AND HITTING A SLIGHT BUMP OR DIVET IN THE ROAD JEEP WRANGLER JK BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL I AM FORCED TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER AND BRING IT UNDER 30MPH. IT HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY OTHER DAY, BUT OCCURRED FOUR TIMES TODAY ALONE. AT THE PRESENT TIME I HAVE HAD IT TO THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS WHERE THE ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN CHECKED FOUR TIMES, THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED AND ROTATED BACK, A NEW STEERING STABILIZER HAS BEEN INSTALLED ALONG WITH A NEW BUSHING, NEW TRACK BAR AND NEW BALL JOINT. *TR

STEERING
THE STEERING IS DEFECTIVE IT ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND YOU LOSE CONTROL. I ALMOST RAN INTO A CONCRETE WALL ALONG THE INTERSTATE. I WAS ACCELERATING UP AN ENTRANCE RAMP AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THE HOOD WAS SEPARATING FROM THE BODY I ESTIMATE AT LEAST 6" OFF SIDE TO SIDE SHAKE. I COULD NOT STEER, JUST TRY TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT AND ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. THE BALL JOINTS, TIE ROD JOINTS, AND TRACK BAR MUST BE REPLACED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
OVER THE PASS TWO MONTHS AS I FILL THE GAS TANK OF MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER ONCE THE TANK IS FULL AND THE PUMP STOPS THE FLOW OF GAS, GAS SPITS BACK OUT OF THE FUEL INLET WITH SOME FORCE BEHIND IT. OTHER THAN GAS COVERING MY HANDS AND LEGS NO INJURIES HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS BUT WITH THE FORCE THAT IT DOES COME OUT OF THE INLET IT COULD EASILY GET IN TO SOMEONE'S EYES, NOT TO MENTION THE EFFECT OF GAS COVERING MY HANDS EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME I NEED TO REPLACE MY GAS TANK AS THERE IS A VENT THAT IS PART OF THE TANK THAT CAN NOT BE REPLACED WITHOUT CHANGING THE WHOLE TANK AT A COST OF 610.00 THIS SOUNDED ODD TO ME SO I STARTED LOOKING IN TO IT AND FOUND A LARGE NUMBER OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE. THAT IN TURN LED ME TO YOUR WEB SITE AND THIS COMPLAINT FORM. I HAVE AN OPEN CASE FILE IN WITH JEEP BUT HAVE NOT GOT AN ANSWER AS I WRITE THIS. I HAVE READ THE INVESTIGATION YOU HAVE DONE INTO THIS AND MY ONLY COMMENT TO THAT IS JUST BECAUSE NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT YET DOES NOT MAKE IT SAFE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR RUBICON MODEL THAT CHRYSLER'S RECENTLY RELEASED TSB TO REPLACE GAS TANKS DUE TO FUEL TANK OVERFLOW AND SPILLAGE DOES NOT COVER. MY BUILD DATE IS 11-06 AND IS PRIOR TO THE 3-07 BEGINNING BUILD DATE THAT CHRYSLER WILL REPAIR. I HAVE THIS FUEL OVERFLOW AND SPILLAGE PROBLEM EVERY TIME I FILL UP. FIRST I WOULD DO EVERYTHING TO AVOID SPILLING FUEL FOR MY AND OTHERS SAFETY HOWEVER AFTER BEING LEFT OUT OF THE TSB FROM CHRYSLER AND YOU ALL CLOSING THE CASE ON THE INCIDENT I FEEL COMPLETELY DISENFRANCHISED AND I HAVE DECIDED TO LET YOU KNOW THE SERIOUSNESS AND NEED FOR THIS TO EXPEDITED THAT I WILL NO LONGER BE CAREFUL AND I WILL ALLOW THIS PROBLEM TO OCCUR EVERYTIME I FILL UP. THIS OPINION IS SHARED BY MANY OTHERS AND OUR IDEA IS WE ARE GOING TO GIVE THIS PROBLEM EVERY CHANCE OF BEING AS DISASTROUS AS POSSIBLE TO GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. I KNOW THIS TACTIC IS NOT SAFE OR RESPONSIBLE HOWEVER NEITHER IS WHAT HAS BEEN DONE WIT THIS SITUATION ALL TOGETHER. HOPEFULLY THIS DANGEROUS AND AGGRAVATING SITUATION CAN BE RESOLVED QUICKLY. *TR

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN GAS PUMP IS LEFT IN AUTOMATIC POSITION. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR MY YEAR AND MODEL OF VEHICLE, BUT IT'S NOT WITHIN THE MANUFACTURE DATE OF THE RECALL. THERE ARE MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I AM A FIREFIGHTER, SO I DO REALIZE THAT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE MANUFACTURE DATE IS 12/06. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH FUEL ABOUT A QUART SHOOTS BACK OUT AFTER THE PUMP STOPS. DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND AMBIENT TEMPS DO NOT AFFECT THE ISSUE, IT ALWAYS HAPPENS. THIS IS UNSAFE! MY WIFE AND I BOTH HAVE HAD GAS SPILLED ON US, OUR CHILDREN CAN BREATH THE FUMES ON US GETTING BACK IN THE CAR, AND GAS IS LEFT TO SEEP INTO THE GROUND OR CATCH ON FIRE FROM THE HEAT OF THE NEXT CARS EXHAUST. NOT SAFE! TSB 14-001-11 WHICH EXTENDS THE GAS TANK VALVE DOES NOT PERTAIN TO MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SINCE IT WAS BUILT DEC 22, 2006 AND THE TSB BEGINS ON MARCH 1, 2007. *TR

FUEL SPLASHES OUT OF FILLER NECK ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED AT FILL-UPS WHEN THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. IT HAS OCCURRED IN WARM AND COLD WEATHER, AND AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS BOTH WITH AND WITHOUT VAPOR RECOVERY TYPE NOZZLES. AN ESTIMATED 1-2 CUPS OF FUEL CAN SPLASH OUT, GETTING ALL OVER ME, THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. ORIGINALLY THE PROBLEM NEVER OCCURRED, BUT NOW HAPPENS 50% OR MORE OF THE TIME HAVING STARTED PERHAPS TWO YEARS AGO. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT JUST BE ME UNTIL I LEARNED RECENTLY NHTSA WAS LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM CAN BE A POTENTIAL FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD, AS I OFTEN SEE IDIOTS SMOKING WHILE REFUELING THEIR VEHICLES. NOT TO MENTION OTHER POTENTIAL HEALTH AND INCONVENIENCE ISSUES DUE TO CONTACT WITH GASOLINE. *TR
