FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2006 UNLIMITED JEEP WRANGLER AND A COUPLES YEARS AGO, WHILE MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THE GAS TANK STARTED OVERFLOWING, THE PUMP DID NOT STOP AND GAS WOULD GET ALL OVER THE CAR, MY CLOTHING, ETC. THE DEALERSHIP THEN REPLACED THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. RECENTLY THIS PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN AND I HAD TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER DIRECTLY AND THEN THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS FIXED. I ENDED UP PAYING APPROXIMATELY $222 TO GET A NEW GAS TANK AGAIN. WHEN I WENT FILL UP THE CAR AFTER PICKING IT UP FROM BEING "SUPPOSEDLY" FIXED I REALIZED THAT IT WAS NOT FIXED AND GAS WAS ALL OVER MY CAR. IT SEEMS AS IF THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND REPLACING THE GAS TANK IS A SHORT TERM FIX OR NO FIX AT ALL. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAVE TO BRING MY WRANGLER BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING, THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF HAS STARTED SHUTTING OFF TOO LATE, RESULTING IN A FUEL SPILL EVERY TIME = FIRE HAZARD PLUS PAINT DAMAGE. MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS, MULTIPLE PUMPS, DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES. THE INCIDENT DATE REFLECTS THE MOST RECENT FILL-UP, WHERE I STARTED SEARCHING FOR A SOLUTION. SEARCHED ON-LINE, AND HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS COMMON WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL AND MODEL YEAR. (UNFORTUNATELY, I AM JUST PAST THE 3-YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK IT WILL OVER FLOW AT THE FILLER NECK. WHEN THE FUEL PUMP CUTS OFF THERE IS AIR PRESSURE THAT WILL FORCE THE GAS OUT WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED. I HAVE USED DIFFERENT STATIONS WITH THE SAME RESULTS. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 SPORT (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE PASSED THE VEHICLE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND THE WIND CAUSED THE HOOD TO OPEN APPROXIMATELY AN INCH AND A HALF. THEN THE HOOD CLOSED VERY HARD. THE FAILURE CONTINUED EVERY 100 MILES EVERY TIME A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE PASSED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT NORMAL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,300 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 7,500. UPDATED 3/14/11 *CN UPDATED 06/24/11

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS OVERFLOWS FROM FILLER CAP WHILE REFUELING. THE LAST 2 TIMES I HAVE REFUELED, THE PUMPS HAVE FAILED TO AUTOSTOP AND GASOLINE HAS OVERFLOWED OUT OF THE FILLERCAP. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 2 SEPARATE GAS STATIONS WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT IS AN ISSUE RELATED TO THE DESIGN OF THE JEEPS GAS FILLER CAP/TUBE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY COMPLAINT AND WARNING HAS TO DO WITH OUR 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED,SARAHA, 3.8 LITRE. WE HAD A PRE-MATURE ENGINE FAILURE IN OUR JEEP DUE TO IMPROPER ENGINE ASSEMBLY DURING MANUFACTURE OF THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE FOR THE ENGINE OIL BY-PASS VALVE BEING INSTALLED IN THE WRONG ORDER, CAUSING THE ENGINES OIL BEING ONLY PARTIALLY FILTERED. THIS NON-FILTERED OIL CAUSED THE ENGINE TO FAIL DUE TO THE DIRTY OIL PASSING THROUGH THE ENGINE AND CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR OF THE ENGINE. OUR ENGINE FAILED AT JUST OVER 43,000 MILES AND THE FAILURE COULD BE SUDDEN AND PUT ANYONE THAT HAS THIS ENGINE CONDITION AT RISK IF THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHILE THE FAILURE OCCURS. I WANT TO BE ON RECORD BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO BE INJURED OR WORSE LOSE THERE LIFE OVER SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS WARNING THE PUBLIC OF THIS ISSUE FOUND IN OUR ENGINE, AND ALSO TO BE ON RECORD BECAUSE WHO KNOWS HOW MANY ENGINE WERE ASSEMBLED THIS WAY WHICH IN MY MIND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. TOTAL DETAILS, COST AND THE FULL EXTENT OF DAMAGED CAN BE EXTENDED TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS OR WANTS THIS INFORMATION, IF REQUESTED IN WRITING OR EMAIL. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IN COLD WEATHER AND WITH THE VEHICLE COLD, FOURTH GEAR CONTINUALLY POPS OUT OF GEAR AND NOW 2ND IS STARTING TO DO IT. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ALSO, THEY CHECKED THE TSB, BUT NONE ARE LISTED. I HAVE READ JEEP FORUMS AND LEARNED THAT SOME BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE 2011S IS THE BOOT, EITHER INNER OR OUTER OR BOTH. WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE, THE BOOTS DON'T FLEX WELL--SO IT PUSHES THE VEHICLE OUT OF GEAR. I HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN AND IT HAPPENS--HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WOULD GO FROM 30 MPH AND UP APPLY THE BRAKES AND GET A VIOLENT SHAKING. TOOK IT TO GOODYEAR (HAD ONLY 24000 BTW) WHEN WE GOT NEW TIRES PUT ON IT AND THE GUY SAID THE ROTORS WERE 3/16 PAST TURNING. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE US $875 FOR NAPA ROTORS. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAD BEEN REPORTED. SO SEEING WE WERE DEFEATED WE ASKED FOR PRICES ON ROTORS (SINCE WE WERE THERE) $310 FOR DRIVER SIDE AND $325 FOR PASSENGER. I WAS LIKE UHM OK....WENT TO FOUR WHEEL PARTS GOT A DRILLED SET MADE IN USA WITH PADS FOR $275 OUT THE DOOR.I MEAN I FIGURED WHY PAY OVER 600 AND HAVE THEM ONLY LAST ANOTHER 24000 MILES? GOT 54000 ON IT NOW WITH THE US BRAKES AND HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM. BTW IT STOPS ALOT BETTER THAN THE STOCK ONES DID. OH AN I SAID 1 INJURY BECAUSE I DID INJURE MY WRIST TRYING TO HOLD IT ON THE ROAD EVERYTIME I DROVE IT. *TR

2008 JEEP WRANGLER JK (2 DOOR). GAS LEAKS OUT OF TOP OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN FILLING THE JEEP UP WITH GAS. THE AUTO SHUTOFF ON THE GAS PUMP CLICKS AND THEN THERE IS PROB 1/4 TO 1/2 GALLON OF GAS SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR. INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND ITS NOT BECAUSE IM TOPPING THE TANK OFF. THERE SEEMS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BECAUSE IT HAPPENS AT ALL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS WITH OR WITHOUT THE RUBBER COVER ON THE GASOLINE PUMP FILLER NECK. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED A 2010 JEEP RUBICON IN NOV 2009, RETURNED TO THE DEALER WITHIN 60 DAYS AND STATED TO THE DEALER THAT FIRST AND SECOND GEARS HAD CONTINUALLY "POPPED OUT" WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE FROM A STAND STILL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED AND THAT I "NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL IN MY SHIFTING". I HAVE HAD MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS IN ALL MY CARS SINCE I WAS 16. I KNOW HOW TO DRIVE THEM, I HAVE ALSO HAD TWO PREVIOUS JEEP WRANGLERS AND BOTH WERE MANUALS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO "POPPING" ISSUES. I HAVE TAKEN THIS ISSUE UP WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND TIME AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING AGAIN. TOMORROW IT IS GOING IN FOR THE THIRD TIME FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS "POPPING" OCCURS ON AVERAGE OF ABOUT 4/5 TIMES A WEEK. I HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IN INTERSECTIONS, ON RAMPS, UP HILLS, (VERY SCARY IF SOMEONE IS BEHIND YOU) AND NUMEROUS OTHER SITUATIONS WHERE SAFETY HAS BEEN JEOPARDIZED AND A SERIOUS ACCIDENT NARROWLY AVOIDED. MY WIFE ALSO DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND HAD TO SEE A DOCTOR FOR A HYPER EXTENDED FINGER WHEN THE SHIFTER KICKED BACK AND CAUGHT HER UN AWARE. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED, RECALLED, SOMETHING. *TR
