SUSPENSION, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WAS DRIVING A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AND THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I FILLED THE TIRES TO THE SPECIFIED AMOUNT AND DROVE DOWN THE ROAD. THE JEEP ALL OF A SUDDEN VIOLENTLY SHOOK BACK AND FOURTH TO THE POINT I COULD BARLEY HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, VISUALLY CHECK THE WHEELS AND DRIVE AWAY AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I BELIEVE WHAT I EXPERIENCED WAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." NOW RECENTLY MY FATHER WAS DRIVING THE SAME JEEP AND IT HAPPENED TO HIM 3 TIMES ON A ROAD TRIP WITHOUT THE TIRE PRESSURES BEING CHANGED. HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER. I BELIEVE THIS IS JUST A FIX TO THE DAMAGE THAT WAS CAUSED BY THE JEEPS MALFUNCTIONS AND THEY DID NOT FIX ANYTHING TO PREVENT THE WOBBLE FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH GAS WHEN IT IS FULL IT SPILLS OUT ABOUT A HALF GALLON OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ON TO THE GROUND. I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AND WATCH WHEN IT IS ALMOST FULL TO PREVENT THIS. IF I DON NOT WATCH IT WOULD DO IT EVERY TIME. *TR

VIOLENT SHAKE OF THE FRONT END OF MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK RUBICON. SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND FEELS LIKE THE ENTIRE VEHICLE IS GOING TO FALL APART.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS TANK OVER FLOW WHEN FILLING UP 2007 JEEP JK WRANGLER RUBICON. THE PUMP DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO STOP FOR IT TO HAPPEN. I CAN FILL IT UP WITH 10 GALLONS OF GAS, STOP THE PUMP AND AS SOON AS YOU PULL THE PUMP OUT OF THE NECK GAS SPRAYS OUT. THE OPTION BELOW TO ENTER A DATE ONLY ALLOWS FOR ONE DATE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE JEEP. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN LEAVING A STOP, MANUAL TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY POPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR ON ACCELERATION. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN ACCELERATION IS NEEDED MOST OF ALL SUCH AS WHEN TURNING LEFT ON A BUSY 4-LANE ROAD. DRIVER IS THEN UNABLE TO PUT CAR IN ANY GEAR FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THIS WILL LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT EVENTUALLY BY BEING HIT BROADSIDE OR FROM THE REAR IF STALLED LEAVING A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. DEALER ACTS LIKE THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS BUT THE WEB IS FULL OF SIMILAR REPORTS. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS OTHER THAN A TRANSMISSION REDESIGN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES IN THE PAST 3-YEARS. THE ONLY THING THAT SEEMS TO HELP IS TO HOLD THE SHIFTER FIRMLY IN 1ST GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING TO PREVENT IT FROM POPPING OUT OF GEAR. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TRADE THE JEEP BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALER WILL SELL IT TO SOME POOR UNSUSPECTING PERSON WHO WILL PROBABLY KILL HIMSELF. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EACH TIME I FILL UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM THE FILLER TUBE ALL OVER MY JEEP AND THE GROUND. I THOUGHT I WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG SO I STOPPED USING THE CLIP THAT ALLOWS THE FUEL TO FLOW WITHOUT HOLDING THE HANDLE - THIS DID NOTHING BUT GET FUEL ALL OVER ME AS WELL AS THE JEEP AND LEAVE A LARGE PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. I CHECKED WITH SOME FRIENDS WHO OWN JEEPS AS WELL AS JEEP BLOGS AND AS IT TURNS OUT MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM - SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW VERSUS USER ERROR. *TR
