2007 JEEP WRANGLER EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK WITH GAS IT WILL OVERFLOW AND SPILL OUT. IT APPEARS TO BE ANYWHERE FROM A FEW OUNCES TO MAYBE AS MUCH AS A HALF A GALLON. I NOW TURN THE KEY TO ACCESSORY POSITION WHILE PUMPING GAS SO THAT I CAN WATCH THE GAUGE AND STOP PUMPING BEFORE IT REACHES FULL. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STAND STILL AND TAKING THE VEHICLE FROM NEUTRAL TO FIRST GEAR, THE SHIFTER POPS OF OUT FIRST AND BACK INTO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THE CONTACT HAS TO HOLD THE SHIFTER IN FIRST GEAR TO PREVENT IT FROM POPPING BACK INTO NEUTRAL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE SLOWS AND JERKS WITH TRAFFIC COMING FROM BEHIND. TWO SEPARATE DEALERS STATED THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15000.

STEERING
DRIVING A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED AT SPEEDS FROM 45-55 MPH CAUSES DEATH WOBBLE WHERE THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND STEERING IS UNABLE TO BE CONTROLLED. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT; YET, IF YOU GOOGLE THE PROBLEM IT IS SERIOUS AND RAMPANT. HAPPENS EVERY TIME THAT SPEEDS REACH 45-55 MPH. UPDATED IVOQ 10/22/10 *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 SAFARI WITH ESP (ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM). ESP INTERMITTENTLY TURNS ON BY ITSELF AND CAN'T BE TURNED OFF. IT WILL EVENTUALLY TURN ITSELF OFF. DEALER TELLS ME IT'S CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN, WHICH ALSO CONTROLS THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG, CRUISE CONTROL AND THE HORN! I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, IF ANY OF THESE DEVICES QUIT WORKING, BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING!!!! *TR

2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS 80% OF THE TIME I FILL UP. ONCE, IT KEPT RUNNING WITHOUT STOPPING AND SPILLING 5-10 GALLONS. THIS CAUSED ME TO SLIP IN THE GAS RESULTING IN WHIPLASH WHICH I AM STILL HAVING TO ADDRESS 2 MONTHS LATER. THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD, SAFETY HAZARD, ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN AND MONETARY PROBLEM AND JEEP/CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THE PROBLEM AND ISSUE A RECALL. IF NOT, THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO FORCE THE ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 FROM A DEALER. THE PAST HANDFUL OF TIMES WE HAVE FILLED THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, GAS HAS SPRAYED OUT ALL OVER THE CAR, GROUND AND MYSELF. I AM NOT TOPPING OFF THE VEHICLE - I AM FILLING UP TO THE POINT OF WHEN THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY STOPS. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME TYPE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE( FILL UP TIME), THE AUTO SHUT OFF CONTINUALLY "CLICKS" ITSELF OFF AND SPILLS FUEL. THIS CONDITION EXISTS ON AN EMPTY OR PARTIALLY FILLED TANK. I HAVE OWNED SAID VEHICLE SINCE NEW. PROBLEM DIDN'T BEGIN UNTIL ADAPTATION OF VAPOR RECOVERY DEVICES ADDED TO THE GAS STATION PUMPS. IT NOW TAKES APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES OF FRUSTRATION TO FILL THIS VEH. WITH THE 16 GALLONS REQUIRED TO FILL IT. ALSO RESULTS IN A SPILL EVERY SINGLE TIME. I BELONG TO AN ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE, AND IT HAPPENS VERY OFTEN. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
E S P A DEADLY IDEA THAT IS BEING FORCED UPON US. MAY OF 2010 I PURCHASED A JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. FIRST WEEKEND OF SEPTEMBER I HAD E S P FAILURE. TOOK IT TO JEEP THE FOLLOWING WED. THEY ATTEMPTED TO RETURN IT TO ME UNABLE TO DUPLICATE, NO PARTS REPLACED. THE PROBLEM DID NOT "GO AWAY ". E S P FAILURES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2007. A SAFETY DEVICE TO SAVE YOU IN A CRASH SHOULD NOT CAUSE THE CRASH. ONLY ABOUT 12,300 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. FACTORY STOCK. NO MODS. JEEP BUYING BACK THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PROTECT ME OR MY LOVED ONES. THE OTHERS WILL STILL BE OUT THERE ON THE ROAD. FORCED LEGISLATION OF THIS WILL ACTUALLY CREATE OTHER PROBLEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FAILURES. VARIOUS "HACK JOBS" WILL BE PERFORMED IN ORDER TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BUT WILL ACTUALLY CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS. I ALREADY HAVE TO DODGE WEAVING DRIVERS FOR OTHER REASONS. DRUNKS ARE AT LEAST ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE. HAS NO ONE ANY COMMON SENSE ANYMORE? IF I WANTED TO BE DRIVEN I WOULD HIRE A CHAUFFEUR. REMEMBER THE AUTO SEAT BELTS THAT THREW PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR CARS AND CAUSED THEM TO BE KILLED OR PARALYZED. ( I PERSONALLY KNOW SOMEONE THAT THIS HAPPENED TO). HOW ABOUT THE AIR BAGS DECAPITATING CHILDREN? THAT REALLY SAVED LIVES THERE. LET US NOT FORGET THE RECENT PRIUS FAILURES. *TR
