FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
JUST PURCHASED A USED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED AND HAVE YET TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FUEL UP WITHOUT MASSIVE OVERFLOW AT FULL. NEVER HAVE I EXPERIENCED SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT OF OVERFLOW ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. THIS OCCURS ON THE FIRST SHUT OFF AT FULL, NOT UNDER TOPPING OFF (WHICH I KNOW SHOULD NOT BE DONE). I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME OVERFLOW AT EVERY FUEL UP AND AT DIFFERENT FUEL STATIONS. *TR

FILLED UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK 4 DOOR AT THE GAS STATION. UPON REACHING THE FULL MARK, THE PUMP SHUT OFF AND ABOUT 1 SECOND LATER, FUEL SPURTED OUT OF THE FUEL NECK AND CAP OPENING ALL OVER ME AND THE SIDE OF MY JEEP. SINCE THEN IT HAS CONTINUALLY HAPPENING EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS TO RULE OUT A CERTAIN GAS STATION. *TR

WHEN I FILL UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA, USING THE PUMP LOCK FEATURE ON THE GAS PUMP, FUEL SPLASHES OUT OF THE GAS CAP TUBE WHEN THE TANK GETS FULL. FUEL SPLASHES DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. ONE TIME, MY SON WAS STANDING AT THE REAR CORNER OF THE VEHICLE, AND GAS NEARLY SPLASHED ALL OVER HIM. DEFINITELY A CONCERN. *TR

STEERING
AS I WAS TRAVELING ON 95 TOWARDS BALTIMORE I HIT A BUMPY PATCH IN THE ROAD, MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER4 DOOR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE. IT FELT AS THOUGH ALL FOUR TIRES WERE ABOUT TO FALL OFF. IT WAS QUITE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE JEEP AND I BARLEY MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER WITH OUT HITTING ANOTHER CAR. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN TRAVELING ABOUT 45 MPH. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE TIE ROD AND THE STEERING CHASSIE WITH "REENGINEERED PARTS" THIS VIOLENT SHAKING IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AND THERE ARE COUNTLESS DOCUMENTED INSTANCES OF THIS IN TESTIMONIAL AND VIDEO FORM ON THE INTERNET. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID "OH YOU HAVE THE DEATH WOBBLE" BUT AFTER CONTACTING CHRYSLER THEY KNEW NOTHING OF THIS PROBLEM AND WILL REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS THE JEEP WAS JUST BARLEY OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE JEEP IS OUT OF CONTROL UNTIL IT COMES TO A STOP. *TR

STEERING
ON SUNDAY , OCTOBER 10,2010, MY HUSBAND AND 16 3/4 YR OLD SON DROVE TO LONG ISLAND, NY FROM OUR HOME IN NJ IN OUR 2007 FOUR DOOR JEEP , JUST AS HE WAS GETTING ON SOUTHERN STATE PARKWAY ,GOING 60-65, THE JEEP SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY. HE THOUGHT THE WHEELS WERE COMING OFF. IT TOOK ALL HE HAD TO CONTROL THE CAR . HE PULLED OVER, JEEP LOOKED FINE AND HE DROVE 50 REMAINDER OF WAY AND THEN HOME. WE WENT TO JEEP DEALERSHIP ( WORLD JEEP SHREWSBURY NJ) THE FOLLOWING DAY TO GET AN APPOINTMENT FOR IT. TO OUR ASTONISHMENT THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT WHAT HE EXPERIENCED WAS CALLED THE "DEATH SHAKE" OR "DEATH WOBBLE" ... WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL 10/13/10. I ARRIVED HOME AND GOOGLED "JEEP DEATH SHAKE " AND CAME UPON PAGES AND PAGES OF OTHER CONSUMERS DESCRIBING AND COMPLAINING OF THE SAME SCENARIO. HTTP://WWW.WRANGLERFORUM.COM/F12/JEEP-DEATH-WOBBLE-62728.HTML THE JEEP ON WEDNESDAY 10/13/10 WAS REPAIRED: THE JEEP HAD TO HAVE ITS "STEERING DAMPENER REMOVED AND REPLACED DUE TO A LEAKING WHEEL SHAKE" WORLD AUTO GROUP SHREWSBURY DID THE REPAIR FOR A "GOOD WILL $50 DEDUCTIBLE" THIS WAS BECAUSE I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND COMPLAINED. WE ARE VERY UPSET BECAUSE OUR SON COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING THAT CAR. HE GETS HIS OFFICIAL LICENSE IN DECEMBER . HAD HE BEEN DRIVING ,MY HUSBAND FEELS HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. HE THINKS IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN EVEN DIFFICULT FOR ME. THIS SITUATION IS DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET, THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE BECAUSE THEY TOLD US IT WAS CALLED THE DEATH SHAKE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!! *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I ACQUIRED MY JEEP WRANGLER (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) IN JANUARY OF 2007, SHORTLY THEREAFTER IT STARTED POPPING OUT OF 1ST GEAR. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH, IT HAS PROGRESSED TO A POINT WHERE IT WAS DOING IT 4-6 TIMES PER DAY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT I WAS NOT ENGAGING IT PROPERLY, BUT I'VE SUBSEQUENTLY TRIED TO HOLD IT IN 1ST GEAR AND IT FORCES ITSELF OUT OF GEAR SO HARD THAT IT ALMOST BROKE MY WRIST. I'VE NOTICED THAT IT POPS OUT MORE UPON LOW TO MEDIUM ACCELERATION. LAST MONTH, I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE A RIGHT HAD TURN. AS I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE THE TURN FROM A STOPPED POSITION, UPON MODERATE ACCELERATION, THE TRANSMISSION POPPED OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND LEFT ME STALLED IN NEUTRAL IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE BEHIND WAS ABLE TO SKID AND BARELY HIT MY SLOWED VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT MY WIFE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS SHE FELT IT WAS TWO DANGEROUS. I WAS NOW CONVINCED THAT THIS CONDITION WAS VERY UNSAFE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE (@49,500 MILES) TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP UPDATED THE 1-2 SYNCHRONIZER ASSEMBLY WITH STRONGER DETENT SPRINGS PURSUANT TO THE CHRYSLER/JEEP TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 21-001-10 THAT WAS ISSUED ON MARCH 2, 2010. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO INVESTIGATE THIS DEFECT IN ORDER TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ADDITIONAL VEHICLE OWNERS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH IN THE RAIN THE SOFT TOP ON THE VEHICLE BEGAN LEAKING ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS SIDE WHERE THE DOORS MEET. IF WATER LEAKED ON THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE VEHICLE THEY COULD RUST OR A FIRE MAY OCCUR. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE WATER LEAK AND THEY REPLACED THE DOOR SEALS ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE; HOWEVER, THAT HAS NOT REMEDIED THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE SOFT TOP AND THE DOOR SEALS. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE LEAKING SOFT TOP AND THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,500.
