STEERING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE A 2007 4DR JEEP WRANGLER NOT 4 WHEEL DRIVE. JUST RECENTLY HAS A PROBLEM STARTED ON MY JEEP. I WILL BE DRIVING AT 35-65MPH AND HIT A BUMP OR A SERIES OF SMALL BUMPS AND MY JEEP WILL BEGIN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND WILL NOT STOP UNLESS I IMMEDIATELY PULL OFF THE ROAD OR SLOW TO ABOUT 20MPH. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING TO WHICH THEY REPLIED I HOPE IT'S NOT THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. FROM WHAT THEY COULD SEE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AS FAR AS STEERING AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT JEEP DEALERSHIP TO GET FURTHER INFORMATION. I BEGAN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE VIA THE INTERNET AND IT IS COMMONLY KNOWN BY JEEP OWNERS AS A 'DEATH WOBBLE'. IN ALL CASES THEY HAVE HAD TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN AND GET OUT OF TRAFFICS WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL, IN SOME REPORTS READ IT HAS CAUSED WRECKS AND EVEN A BROKEN WRIST. I AM WRITING HOPING THAT THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY AN INVESTIGATION CAN BEGIN ON THE SUBJECT BECAUSE IT IS TERRIFYING WHEN THIS ISSUE BEGINS AND YOU ARE ON A HIGHWAY OR ANY BUSY ROAD. I BELIEVE THEIR NEEDS TO BE SOME KIND OF RECALL TO GET THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF IF IT IS A COMMONLY KNOWN DEFECT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE, WHEN THE PUMP CUTS OFF GASOLINE SPURTS OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND AND SOMETIMES OVER THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE NOZZLE IS BEING HELD AND SQUEEZED BY THE PERSON FILLING OR IS LOCKED IN POSITION FOR HANDSFREE FILLING. IT HAS HAPPENED CONSISTENTLY WITH FILLUPS FOR THE PAST 4-5 MONTHS NO MATTER WHICH GAS STATION IS USED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING MY JEEP THE AND AUTO SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP STOPS A FAIR AMOUNT OF FUEL COMES SPILLING OUT AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A DANGER AS THERE IS EXPOSED FUEL ON MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS IS A WASTE OF MY MONEY AND A RISK TO THE ENVIRONMENT AS THE SPILL IS ON THE CONCRETE. WHEN RAIN OR WASHED THIS FUEL WILL BE INTRODUCED INTO THE WATER SYSTEM. ALSO THE DANGER IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS RAW FUEL FLOWING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK AND ON AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP,THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AND THEN GAS WILL ALMOST SHOOT OUT OF THE FILLING TUBE. THIS HAPPENS ON AT ANY GAS STATION AND LEAVES GAS ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ON THE GROUND. I NOW ONLY GET GAS WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CAN GUESS ON HOW MUCH GAS I NEED. AT FILL UP, I PUT THE PUMP TO AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF UNTIL I ESTIMATE I AM 2 GALLONS SHORT. I THEN FINISH OFF MANUALLY AT THE LOWEST FLOW RATE. THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE TO WORK.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING WITH GAS SPEWS OUT. ON JANUARY 10TH FLEW OUT SO BAD, MY WINTER COAT, PANTS, GLOVES AND SHOES WERE RUINED. BEEN ONGOING PROBLEM. HAS REPAIR ORDERS FROM DEALERSHIP. IN ADDITION, THE HARD TOP HAS LEAKED SINCE DAY ONE AND NEVER BEEN REPAIRED. I AM NOT DRIVING VEHICLE SINCE THE AWFUL SPILLAGE ON JANUARY 10TH. I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP RUINING CLOTHES. IN ADDITION, CONCERNED IT CAN CAUSE FURTHER PROBLEM (IE, PERHAPS FIRE). ALWAYS IN ATTENDANCE WHILE FILLING. SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL OTHER JEEP OWNERS EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR CHRYSLER TO CORRECT THIS DEFAULT, A DEATH, OR SEVERE INJURY. IF NOT WINTER TIME I FEEL I WOULD HAVE BEEN BURNED ON MY SKIN BY THE GASOLINE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DURING FUELING, WHEN THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY STOPS THE FLOW OF GASOLINE , FUEL SURGES BACK THROUGH THE FILLER TUBE AND VIGOROUSLY SPLASHES OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ANYTHING OR PERSON WITHIN 2 TO 3 FEET OF THE FUEL FILLER. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED. IT HAS SPILLED FUEL ON EVERY FILL UP (AT LEAST ONE CUP), DESPITE PRECAUTIONS (SLOWING FILLING RATE). MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING GAS TANK A LARGE BACKSPLASH OF GAS COMES OUT AS TANK APPROACHES FULL. I TRIED ADJUSTING THE GAS HOSE NOZZLE BOTH IN AND OUT. SPLASHING OCCURS IN ALL CASES. GETS LESS THE FURTHER THE NOZZLE IS PULLED OUT. GAS COULD SPLASH ON PERSON STANDING CLOSE, MOSTLY RUNS DOWN SIDE OF JEEP AND ONTO AND OVER REAR BUMPER AND ONTO GROUND. SERVICE STATION ATTENDANTS HAVE COME OUT TO CHECK FOR ISSUE DUE TO AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLED. CAR HAD NO ISSUES WITH THIS FOR FIRST 3 YEARS. PROBLEM DEVELOPED SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING. ONLY FIX IS TO NOT COMPLETELY FILL TANK BUT YOU HAVE TO GUESS EACH TIME HOW CLOSE TO FULL THE TANK IS. GAS SPILLED OUT BETWEEN 1/10 AND 1/2 GAL EACH TIME -HARD TO MEASURE. *TR

THE FUEL FILLER NECK/GAS TANK ON MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER HAS FILLING PROBLEMS. ANY TIME I GO TO FILL UP ON GAS THE PUMP DOES NOT CLICK OFF IN TIME AND GAS LITERALLY SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ALL OVER THE BUMPER OF THE JEEP AND ON THE GROUND. I HAVEN'T TRIED TO MEASURE THE VOLUME OF GAS THAT SHOOTS OUT EACH TIME, BUT I WOULD ESTIMATE AT LEAST 6-8OZ OF FUEL. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
2009 JEEP WRANGLER 2DR 4WD W/6SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ACCORDING TO A RECENT DEALERSHIP SERVICE VISIT THAT THEY ARE "FULLY AWARE OF". THE GEAR SHIFT FREQUENTLY POPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR WHILE STARTING FROM A STANDSTILL. VEHICLE HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT, ISSUE HAD BEGUN AT ABOUT 16-18K. IT BEGAN AS A SPORADIC ISSUE AND HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT, APPROX 1-2 TIMES PER MONTH. ON THE SERVICE VISIT 1/20/2011, DEALERSHIP WAS OF NO HELP AS THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND NO REPAIR OR ADVICE WAS GIVEN. VEHICLE WILL BE OUT OF WARRENTY IN APPROX 8000K. THIS COMMON ISSUE WILL THEN BE ON THE HANDS OF THE OWNER. IT IS ACTUALLY MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUE AS THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN IT'LL POP OUT OF GEAR AS ONE PULLS INTO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND THEN SUDDENLY BECOMES IMMOBILE POSING A SERIOUS T-BONE POTENTIAL. SURPRISING, THE TOTAL LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY ON THE DEALERSHIP/AUTO MANUFACTURER REGARDING THIS ISSUE SINCE IT IS SO WELL KNOWN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. *LN

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2009 JEEP UNLIMITED WRANGLER X 4 DOOR. THE JEEP IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD ON 1/20/2011 AT 39,313 TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER PIPES HAD TO BE REPLACED. WONDERING IF THERE ARE OTHER JEEPS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY I BOUGHT FROM ACURA DEALER WOULD NOT COVER THE ISSUE. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2009 FROM THE ACURA DEALER WITH 13,000 MILES ON IT. THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. IT IF I DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, AUTO-SHUT-OFF OF THE GAS DISPENSER OCCURS TOO LATE. GAS POURS OUT OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS (AT EVERY FILL UP). TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I STOP THE FILL UP BEFORE AUTO-SHUT-OFF. JEEP / CHRYSLER SAYS THE GAS TANK MUST BE REPLACED. *TR
