FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE FILLING UP FUEL TANK TO FULL AND USING THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF SUPPLIED BY ALL FUEL STATIONS THE GAS WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF THE FILLER NECK FOR 1-2 SECONDS BEFORE ACTUALLY STOPPING THE FLOW OF THE FUEL. *JS

STEERING
FRONT END STARTS INTO A VIOLENT WOBBLE BETWEEN 50 & 55 MPH. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT TIRES AND DIFFERENT TIRE PRESSURES AND THE WOBBLE STILL PERSIST. THE SUSPENSION HASN'T BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY WAY AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE IS IN STOCK CONDITION. I THINK THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF LIFE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX IT. *JS

STEERING
MY JEEP WAS EXPERIENCING A WOBBLE AND LOOSE STEERING THE FIRST TIME AT 2900 MILES (5OCT2011). AFTER MY SECOND VISIT (15NOV2011) TO THE DEALER TO ADDRESS THE CONTINUED ISSUE, THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER. THE THIRD AND FOURTH VISIT (22 AND 29NOV2012), THE SERVICE TECH SAID HE LOOKED AT THE SUSPENSION AND TIGHTENED UP SOME "THINGS". THIS WORKED FOR A FEW WEEKS. ON THE FIFTH VISIT (13MAR2012), I WAS EXPERIENCING A MORE SEVERE WOBBLE/SHAKE. THE SERVICE TECH STATED THAT HE REVIEWED THE VEHICLE AND THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. AS A RESULT, IT WAS STATED ALL WAS IN VEHICLE STANDARDS. I WAS ADVISED I COULD PURCHASE AN AFTER MARKET STEERING DAMPENER THAT WAS MORE ROBUST THAT THE ISSUED DAMPENER. TO DATE, THE VEHICLE STILL DRIVES IN A LOOSE MANNER ON THE ROAD. WHEN I HIT MINOR AND MAJOR BUMPS ON THE ROADS, I GET A SEVERE WOBBLE EFFECT. THIS WOBBLE/SHAKING REVERBERATES THROUGHOUT THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH CAUSES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN TO GAIN CONTROL. THE BEST WAY TO OPERATE IT AT THIS TIME IS TO DRIVE AT A LOWER SPEED (40-50 MPH). AT THIS POINT, I AM MERELY SEEKING ADVICE ON HOW TO REMEDY THE SITUATION TO MAKE THE VEHICLE MORE STABLE TO DRIVE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS 9500. *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME THAT I FILL MY VEHICLE UP WITH FUEL IT OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. AT FIRST, I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMPS AT THE GAS STATION I NORMALLY GO TO, BUT RECENTLY I'VE STARTED TO GO TO A NEW GAS STATION AND THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING. WHAT FINALLY BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTENTION WAS THAT I WAS FILLING UP, AND SOMEONE WITH THE SAME YEAR (2007) JEEP WAS GETTING GAS RIGHT NEXT TO ME AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM. I KNOW 2 OTHER PEOPLE WITH JEEP WRANGLERS AND THEIRS ARE DOING THE SAME THING. I'D BE WILLING TO BET MOST HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT'S NOT ONLY BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS WELL. *KB

STEERING, SUSPENSION
EXPERIENCED THE INFAMOUS 'DEATH WOBBLE'. MY WIFE CALLED SCARED TO DEATH AND WASN'T SURE SHE COULD MAKE IT HOME BECAUSE FRONT END HAD STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I THOUGHT SHE MAY HAVE DROPPED A WHEEL WEIGHT. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC, SPENT OVER $450 FOR NEW STABILIZER AND STEERING SHOCK, WHEEL ROTATION, AND BALANCE, AND PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED. TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC, HE TRIED AGAIN, AND DID NOT CHARGE ME. HE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED ALL THE COMPLAINTS THERE. NO ONE HAS A FIX FOR THIS. CHRYSLER SAYS ALL SOLID FRONT AXLE VEHICLES DO THIS. BULL! WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT A SOLID FRONT AXLE VEHICLE IF THEY ALL DO THIS? IT'S SCARY. YOU HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY BRAKE TO STOP THE SHAKE AND HOPE NO ONE IS RIGHT BEHIND YOU. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL OR A SOLUTION FORWARDED FOR THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. ALWAYS WANTED A JEEP BUT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE THING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SOMETHING'S GOT TO BE DONE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT EVENTUALLY. I CAN'T BELIEVE NO ONE HAS BEEN REAR-ENDED OR SOMETHING HASN'T SHAKEN LOOSE WITH ALL THAT VIOLENT VIBRATION. *KB

I WAS TURNING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND HEARD A SNAP IN THE STEERING WHEEL. AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE HORN NO LONGER WORKED. THE NEXT DAY I HEARD ANOTHER LITTLE SNAP AND THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL I CAN HEAR THINGS SCRAPING INSIDE IT.

SUSPENSION
THE STEERING WHEELS AND FRONT WHEELS STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A MILD BUMP AND THAT WAS THE FIRST GIVE IN A COSTLY BALL JOINT REPLACEMENT ON A STOCK UNABUSED JEEP WRANGLER. IT COST OVER $1400 TO FIX THROUGH 4 WHEEL PARTS. THE DEALER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED THE TIRES WERE SIMPLY UNBALANCED AS THE PROBLEM FOR THE SHAKE THAT NEARLY CAUSED SERIOUS WRECK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL PUMP NEVER SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE NOW FOR A LONG TIME. THE FUEL SYSTEM ALLOWS THE PUMP TO CONTINUE RUNNING AFTER THE TANK IS FULL. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I GO TO. GASOLINE ALWAYS OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND. I WAS RECENTLY REFUELING MY AND THE VEHICLE AND THE PUMP DID NOT SHUT OFF. A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF GAS FLOWED OUT ONTO THE GROUND AND SOMETHING LIT THE FUEL VAPORS CAUSING A SMALL FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT OUT WITH AN EXTINGUISHER. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE ENTIRE GAS STATION TO CATCH FIRE/EXPLODE AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR ..UPDATED 09/12/12 *BF UPDATED 09/12/2012 *JS

POWER TRAIN
MY 2012 WRANGLER SPORT (6SP) HAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. IT MAKES A HORRIBLE RATTLE AT HIGH RPMS IN 3RD AND 4TH GEAR, THE GEARS WHINE AND 1ST IS REALLY HARD TO ENGAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SLOWLY ROLLING. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO DOUBLE CLUTCH IT JUST TO GET 1ST GEAR TO WORK WHEN ROLLING. REVERSE GRINDS. THE GEAR SHIFTER SHAKES EXCESSIVELY WHEN VEHICLE IS IN 4TH AND 5TH GEAR. SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND IS NOTCHY AS IS 5TH TO 6TH AND WHEN PUTTING IT INTO REVERSE. THE CLUTCH OFTEN HAS A CRUNCHY FEEL WHEN I PRESS THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHENEVER I ADD GASOLINE (FROM ANY STATION), A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF FUEL WILL SLOSH BACK OUT OF THE FILLER RIGHT BEFORE THE PUMP KICKS OFF. CHECKING WITH THE DEALER AND OTHER SOURCES, IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM. HOWEVER, JEEP IS ONLY CONCERNED WITH FIXING THE 2007 AND NEWER JK MODELS. THEIR FIX FOR THOSE MODELS IS AN EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY. MY OTHER SOURCES SAY THAT IT'S RAMPANT IN YEARS PRIOR AS WELL. THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER SAYS IT'S THE "ROLLOVER VALVE" THAT GOES BAD. THE VALVE ISN'T REPAIRABLE. THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK NEEDS REPLACED. *TR
