FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA WITH 69,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN FEBRUARY OF 2007. FOUR ABOUT THE LAST 18 MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I GO TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL THE TANK. I PLACE THE NOZZLE IN THE FILLER TUBE AND SET THE PUMP TO AUTO FILL. ONCE THE TANK IS FILLED, THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AND THE FUEL TANK THEN "BURPS" ABOUT 2-3 CUPS OF FUEL OUT. AT TIMES, THE FUEL COMES OUT VIGOROUSLY IN A SPRAY MAKING IT EVEN MORE FLAMMABLE AND COVERING ME AND THE VEHICLE. I HAVE GONE TO MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SINCE, AND HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. THE PROBLEM ALSO OCCURS WHEN I HOLD THE PUMP AND TRY TO LIMIT THE FUEL FLOW. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF KNOWN CASES REGARDING THIS EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT, OR EVEN WORSE...KILLED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
THE "CLOCK SPRING" FAILED IN MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON. THE "CLOCK SPRING" IS THE DEVICE WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL HUB THAT THE ELECTRICITY PASSES THROUGH ALLOW IN THE AIRBAG, HORN, AND CRUISE CONTROL TO WORK WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS BEING TURNED. WHEN THE CLOCK SPRING FAILS THESE ITEMS DO NOT WORK. THE SERVICE WRITER AT KEFFER JEEP IN CHARLOTTE NORTH CAROLINA, 704-532-1050, EXPLAINED THERE IS MORE THAN 500 BACK ORDERED AND IT WILL BE UP TO A YEAR BEFORE THE PART ARRIVES. THIS MEANS THERE ARE CURRENTLY MORE THAN 500 JEEP OF ALL MODELS (ALL MODEL JEEPS USE THE SAME CLOCK SPRING) DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT FUNCTIONAL AIRBAG SYSTEMS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK (2 DOOR) SPITS BACK FUEL AND SPILLS ABOUT A CUP OF FUEL WHEN GAS STATION PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT THE END OF FILLING THE TANK REGARDLESS OF THE PACE THE FUEL IS PUMPED (AMOUNT SPILLED IS LESS AT LOWER PUMP RATE BUT STILL HAPPENS). THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 27,000 MILES. IT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THAT. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUES SINCE IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FUELED. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK OF MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF GASOLINE IS SPEWED FROM THE FILLER HOLE. FROM WHAT I'VE RESEARCHED CHRYSLER'S FIX IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM EVENTUALLY STARTS AGAIN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
MY GAS TANK OVER FLOWS AND GAS SQUIRTS OUT AS I'M FILLING MY GAS TANK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GET GAS. AS SOON AS IT NOZZLE CHICKS, GAS SQUIRTS OUT FIRST AND THEN WHEN I TAKE THE NOZZLE OUT, GAS GUSHES OUT ALL DOWN THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. GAS IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO LOSE GAS EACH TIME. I AM A COMMUTER AND GAS UP OFTEN. ALSO, WHAT IS THE GAS SPILLING ON MY JEEP DOING TO THE PAINT? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE LOSES POWER TO ACCELERATOR AT RANDOM, UNPREDICTABLE TIMES (COULD BE AT A STOP SIGN, COULD BE WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY, AND DOES NOT MATTER IF CAR IS HOT OR COLD). WARNING LIGHT (LIGHTNING BOLT) FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD, AND ACCELERATOR IS SLUGGISH TO RESPOND OR UNRESPONSIVE ALTOGETHER. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN IN TWO ACCIDENTS WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE CARS STARTS TO GO, BUT THEN LOSES POWER AND THE ACCELERATOR TAKES ABOUT 3-4 SECONDS TO RECOGNIZE I AM STEPPING ON IT. I HAVE HAD IT INTO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES NOW, AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. FIRST TIME THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. THE SECOND TIME, THE PCM MODULE (DRIVETRAIN COMPUTER/MODULE) WAS REPLACED IN ITS ENTIRETY. PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING AROUND 30,000 MILES, AND HAS CONTINUED SINCE (NOW AT 41,500). HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO BE IN TWO BAD ACCIDENTS, WHICH CAUSED OTHER CARS TO SWERVE/SKID AROUND ME BECAUSE I WAS STOPPED BROADSIDE IN ROADWAY. THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM UNTIL THEY MADE ME DRIVE THEM AROUND OUR CITY, AND PROVE TO THEM WHAT HAPPENS. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED WHILE HE WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME, BUT THE SERVICE TECHS ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND CONTINUE TO WORK WITH CHRYSLER ENGINEERS TO NO AVAIL. OTHER INSTANCES INCLUDE BEING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A HILL, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GO FORWARD IN TIME, AND NEARLY DRIFTING BACKWARDS INTO VEHICLES BEHIND ME. THIS REQUIRES USE OF HEAVY FOOT ON GAS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE. ADDITIONALLY, VEHICLE IS A 6 SPEED MANUAL, AND SOMETIMES 'POPS' OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHILE STARTING FROM A STOP POSITION. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED FOR THE LAST 5,000 MILES APPROXIMATELY BUT IS BECOMING MORE COMMON (NEARLY DAILY). I BELIEVE THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE AND CORRECT IT (COMMON PROBLEM ACCORDING TO MY INTERNET RESEARCH), HOWEVER IT DOES NOT APPEAR THEY HAVE A HANDLE ON THE FIRST ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL THEY CAN DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM, IT'S NOT SAFE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING AT 55MPH AND RAN OVER A BADLY MAINTAINED ROAD BUMP (A 3FT SECTION OF PAVEMENT SPANNING BOTH LANES OF A 2 LANE RD. THAT HAD NO STONE IN IT TO LEVEL IT OFF) AND MY 2007 JEEP 4DR WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA LOST ENGINE POWER. ALL POWER OPTIONS IN TURN LOST POWER. I MANAGED TO PULL THE JEEP TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT. IT STARTED BACK UP WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. THIS SAME POWER LOSS OCCURRED ONCE BEFORE AFTER DRIVING ON A WET ROAD ON A RAINY DAY. THAT 2ND OCCURRENCE LASTED ABOUT 1SECOND AND THEN RE-POWERED. *TR
