FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL TANK BURPS AIR AND GASOLINE DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ON THE BUMPER. THIS OCCURS AFTER THE AUTO SHUTOFF HAS CLICKED SHUTTING OFF FUEL FLOW. I DID NOT ADD ANY FUEL AFTER THE CLICK OF THE AUTO SHUTOFF. THIS IS NOW OCCURRING AT EVERY FILLUP, SINCE GOING OVER THE 50,000 MILE MARK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:ELECTRICAL HEATING ELEMENT
2000 JEEP WRANGLER. THE WIRING TO THE A/C CONTROL SWITCH SHORTS OUT AND CAUSES A MINOR FIRE. THE SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF A PREVIOUS FIX IN SPLICED WIRING. THE WIRING HARNESS IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. RESEARCH ON JEEP RELATED WEB SITES HAS PROVEN TO ME THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENCE AND OCCURS IN MANY OF THE SURROUNDING MODEL YEARS. THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE THREE POSTS THAT CONNECT TO THE SELECTOR SWITCH, THEY ARE TO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2007 JEEP WRANGLER. GAS OVERFLOWS WHEN REFUELING. IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU JUST LET THE PUMP CLICK OFF WHEN FULL. I HAVE NEVER TRIED TO OVERFILL IT, OR "TOP IT OFF". YOU SIMPLY FILL UNTIL THE PUMP CLICKS, AND THEN A FAIR AMOUNT OF FUEL SEEMS TO BUBBLE BACK OUT. IT RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THEN LEAVES A FAIRLY LARGE PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 2-1/2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP (23,000 MILES) NOW IT IS JUST ABOUT EVERY FILL UP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE REFUELING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER THE FUEL FILL WOULD OVERFLOW WHEN FULL RATHER THAN CAUSE THE GAS PUMP TO TRIP. THIS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I WOULD REFUEL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE GAS TANK AND THE EVAP CANISTER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL OVERFLOW WHEN FILLING UP MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4DR., WHEN AT OR NEAR FULL CAPACITY AT THE GAS PUMP. THE GAS OVERFLOWS OUT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE FENDER AND GROUND, NEARLY SPLASHING ONTO ME AS I AM STANDING AT THE FUEL FILLER CAP AREA AT THE JEEP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS, NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 2010 WHILE FILLING UP MY 2008 JEEP WITH GASOLINE TO FULL LEVEL. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WOULD EXPLAIN THIS AS A TERM THAT IS USED IN THE "JEEP COMMUNITY" AS A "DEATH WOBBLE". BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENED IS I WAS EXITING AN INTERSTATE OFF RAMP FOR ANOTHER INTERSTATE. I SLOWED TO ABOUT 40-45 MPH. WHEN I STARTED TO FOLLOW THE BEND TO THE RIGHT I CROSSED OVER A "SEAM" IN THE ROAD CONNECTING SECTIONS OF THE PAVEMENT. IT WAS AT THIS MOMENT THAT MY JEEP JK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE SHAKING WAS LOCATED AT THE FRONT OF THE JEEP. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 10 MPH (LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME) AND THE SHAKING WENT AWAY. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT IT WAS SUCH A VIOLENT SHAKING THAT I THOUGHT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS GOING TO COME OUT OF MY HANDS AND I THOUGHT THE FRONT END OF MY JEEP WAS GOING TO "EXPLODE". IF THE NTSB WOULD SEARCH THE WEB FOR "DEATH WOBBLE" YOU WOULD LOCATE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE THAT SHOW EXACTLY WHAT OCCURRED TO ME.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. THE CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS FILLER AND THE FACT THAT GAS BUBBLES BACK OUT THE FILLER HOSE WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED. IT OCCURS WHEN THE GAS TRIGGER IS SET TO SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. ONCE THE TANK GETS FULL OF CLOSE TO FULL AND THE TRIGGER IS SHUT OFF GAS WILL GUSH BACK OUT THE HOSE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE CAR, MY SHOES AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. DEPENDING ON THE STRENGTH OF THE GAS PUMP AS MUCH AS 2 PINT HAVE BUBBLED BACK OUT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 (4DR) AND NOW, WHENEVER I FILL THE TANK, FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER PORT DURING THE REFUELING PROCESS. IN ESSENCE IT IS EXACTLY AS THE COMPLAINT THAT IS FILED WITH CHRYSLER MENTIONS -- "THIS CONDITION GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO THE FULL OR NEARLY FULL LEVEL AND THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OR CLICKS OFF." FUEL SPILLS ON ME, THE CAR AND THE GROUND. I WOULD SAY IN EXCESS OF A COUPLE QUARTS. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
WHILE DRIVING 50 TO 70 MPH IF THE VEHICLE HITS ANY SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD IT THEN BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THERE IS A TERM GIVEN BY JEEP OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS YEAR JEEP CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE." THERE ARE MANY OF DISCUSSION GROUPS ONLINE THAT TALK ABOUT IT AND THERE IS EVEN FOOTAGE ON YOUTUBE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE WOBBLE IS TO STOP THE VEHICLE AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN. NOT SAFE AT ALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? GENERAL MOTORS WAS SAVED BY THE TAX PAYERS OF THE U.S. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PUT VEHICLES THAT ARE UNSAFE ON U.S. HIGHWAYS. I ONLY HOPE NO ONE HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED FROM THIS ISSUE. MY JEEP IS ALL STOCK FROM THE FACTORY. I HAVE HAD NO WORK OR MODIFICATIONS DONE TO IT. THERE IS NO REASON WHY JEEP OWNERS THAT PAY $24,000 OR MORE FOR THEIR JEEP TO PAY OVER $1000 TO FIX A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. I HAVE HAD A FEW RECALL ON MY JEEP FOR MINOR ISSUES AND HAD THEM FIXED. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, TIRES
FRONT TIRE SHIMMY SO BAD THAT IT CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO GO OUT OF CONTROL. WHEN A BUMP, POTHOLE OR RAILROAD TRACK IS DRIVEN OVER THAT FRONT TIRES WOBBLE AND SHIMMY SO BAD THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. THERE HAVE BEEN NEW TIRES, WHEELS, ALIGNMENTS AND STEERING STABILIZERS INSTALLED BUT THAT HAS NOT STOPPED THE SHIMMY. THE CAR HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
I WAS REAR ENDED AND PUSHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING A JEEP FOUR DOOR AND MY HEAD HIT THE HEAD REST WHICH IS VERY HARD. I HAVE HAD HEADACHES EVER SINCE AND THE SEAT BELT LOCKED DOWN SO TIGHT THAT MY SHOULDER HAS HURT EVER SINCE, NO BROKEN BONES, BUT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. I KNOW FOR A FACT THE HEADRESTS NEED TO BE EVALUATED ON THEIR SAFETY! I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE JEEP PLACE FOR ANOTHER RECALL AND THAT IS WHEN I AM GOING TO DISCUSS THE HARD HEADRESTS AGAIN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2008 JEEP WRANGLER JK - GAS OVERFLOW (THIS ISSUE IS THE SAME AS THAT REPORTED IN INVESTIGATION PE10032) WHEN FILLING UP WITH FUEL AT THE SERVICE STATION, GAS OVERFLOWS AND SPRAYS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND, AND THE PERSON OPERATING THE PUMP. THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS SCENARIO AND COULD RESULT IN A FIRE, EXPLOSION, INJURY, OR DEATH. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION. 1. NO EVENTS HAVE LED UP TO THE FAILURE. 2. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE. 3. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SAYS THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY THE FAILURE IS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK ASSEMBLY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HIT A BUMP AND MY JEEP STARTED SHAKING LIKE A DOG THAT IS ALL WET. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO SLOW DOWN ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP. THEN IT IS FINE FOR A WHILE. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, BUT MY JEEP WAS NOT ONE OF THEM, SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. READING SO OTHER POST I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. HAS ANYBODY FIGURED OUT WHAT WILL FIX THIS???? *TR

GAS SPILLS OUT OF TANK, OVER THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND ON TO THE GROUND AT THE GAS PUMP. 3. NO ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT FAILURE AT THIS POINT. *TR
