STEERING
THE "ESP/BAS" LIGHT LIGHT WHILE DRIVING (01/16/10) THE DEALER DIAGNOSED A FAULTY SENSOR AND SENT ME DOWN THE ROAD, TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL WHEN PART CAME IN AND WOULD REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY (01/1910). ON THE DRIVE HOME THE I EXPERIENCED "DEATH WOBBLE" AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I LOST CONTROL AND RAN OFF THE ROAD ON TO THE MEDIAN IN THE CENTER OF THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER. THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT TRAC BAR BRACKET BROKE FROM THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRACKET WILL HAVE TO BE WELDED BACK IN PLACE TO CORRECT. *TR

2008 WRANGLER 2 DOOR. AT ABOUT 25,000 MILES, STARTED OVERFLOWING WHEN I FILLED UP GAS TANK. I DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT TOO MUCH UNTIL I HAD ANOTHER ISSUE AND WENT IN FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALER. THAT IS WHEN I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT. THEY SAID THE SHUT-OFF VALVE INSIDE THE TANK WAS STUCK AND REPLACED THE GAS TANK. 100 MILES LATER, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER INSPECTED IT AND SAID THERE WAS A FAULTY EMISSIONS VALVE ON THE GAS TANK AND WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE GAS CONTINUALLY OVERFLOWS. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF THE TANK IS FUELING FAST OR SLOW. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER TO STAND BACK YOUR SHOES AND CLOTHING ARE SATURATED. *TR

WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK AT A MAJOR GAS SUPPLIERS STATION THE NOZZLE SHUTOFF (CLICKED) INDICATING THE TANK WAS FULL THEN THE TANK BURPED GAS OUT AROUND THE NOZZLE. IT SPLASHED DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE BUMPER. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN FILLING THE TANK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK SAHARA - EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, THE PUMP WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF UNTIL THE GAS OVERFLOWS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH QUITE A FEW OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND THEY ARE ALL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE THAT IS SPILLED ONTO THE GROUND AND COULD LEAD TO A FIRE. THE DEALER INDICATES THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK AT MY EXPENSE. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS FACT DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND AFFECTS OTHER OWNERS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. *TR

STEERING, WHEELS, SUSPENSION
2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED - FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT OR ABOVE 55 MPH AFTER HITTING SMALL BUMP IN ROAD. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY, FEELS LIKE WHEELS ARE GOIGN TO FALL OFF OR CAR WILL FLIP OVER - COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL UNLESS YOU SLOW DOWN TO 35MPH - WHICH IS NOT EASY TO DO ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. THIS OCCURS ALMOST DAILY. TO DATE WE HAVE REPLACED THE TRACK BAR, REPLACED THE TIRES, HAD THE VEHICLE RE-ALLIGNED AND TIRES BALANCED. NEXT STEP IS TO REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER. SO FAR NO PERMANENT FIXES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A DIRT ROAD, THE CONNECTOR THAT ATTACHES THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE COMING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK TO THE METAL LINE THAT RUNS TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT SNAPPED IN TWO, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP RUNNING FUEL TO BE PUMPED ONTO THE GROUND UNDER THE JEEP WHERE IT STOPPED. DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO THE COMPONENT INVOLVED, WHICH WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS SPILLS, SPLATTERS, SHOOTS VIOLENTLY WHEN TANK IS FULL. IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL UP AT ANY GAS STATION. OCCURS WHETHER I HAND CONTROL FILLUP OR WHETHER I RELY ON AUTO SHUT OFF. HAND FILLUP DOES SEEM TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF EXCESS GASOLINE SPEWING FROM TANK. GAS ENDS UP ON MY PAINT, PLASTIC, THE FUELING STATION GROUND, AND OFTEN MY CLOTHING AND/OR SHOES. VERY FRUSTRATING, CONCERN FOR FUEL SPARKS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SPEWS GAS AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF. I DO NOT TOP OFF AND HAVE TRIED SEVERAL GAS STATIONS. THE GAS PUMPS CLICKS OFF AND 3 SECONDS LATER I HEAR A GURGLE AND ABOUT 2 CUPS OF FUEL VOMITS OUT, RUNS DOWN MY PAINT, PLASTIC BUMPER AND ON THE GROUND. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS THING. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP BACK TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE GAS TANK. THE FIRST FILL UP WITH THE NEW TANK HAD NO ISSUES, FROM THE SECOND FILL UP ON IT SPEWS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FACTORY RADIO IN 2007 JEEP WRANGLER BEGAN OVERHEATING DURING THE SUMMER OF 2009. OVERHEATING WAS CAUSING EXTREMELY LOUD POPPING NOISE TO BE BROADCAST OVER ALL SPEAKERS IN VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND INSPECTED, RADIO WAS REPLACED. PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE FIXED HOWEVER; THE WEATHER TEMPERATURE HAD COOLED BY THAT TIME SO IT WAS UNCLEAR AS TO WHETHER THE SITUATION HAD BEEN ALLEVIATED. IN OCTOBER 2009 THE PROBLEM BEGAN OCCURRING ONCE AGAIN, THIS TIME WHEN THE DEFROST AND HEAT WAS TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AGAIN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE HEAT FROM THE DEFROST AND THE HEATER WAS CAUSING THE RADIO TO BECOME EXTREMELY HOT. THE POPPING NOISE WAS DUE TO THIS OVERHEATING PROCESS THAT WAS OCCURRING. CHRYSLER CORPORATION WAS NOTIFIED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED HOWEVER THEY STATE THAT THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION AT PRESENT AND THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ENOUGH INSTANCES TO WARRANT A RECALL. THEY HAVE OFFERED NO REMEDIES OTHER THAN EMPTY APOLOGIES. WE ARE AFRAID TO TURN ON THE RADIO IN THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR THAT IT WILL CAUSE A FIRE. THE DEALER STATES THAT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN. FURTHERMORE THE POPPING POSES A HAZARD IF IT OCCURS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AS IT IS SO SUDDEN AND SO INCREDIBLY LOUD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SINCE I HAVE OWNED MY 99 WRANGLER, ABOUT EVERY TWO YEARS. THE FAN MOTOR OR SELECTOR SWITCHES HAVE BURNED OUT. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED IT METED DOWN THE WIRING HARNESS AS WELL. IT IS MY FEELING THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF. SINCE THEY HAVE A SPECIAL BULLETIN THAT ALLOWS YOU TO BUY THE SWITCHES INDIVIDUALLY, INSTEAD OF THE ENTIRE HEATING COOLING HEAD UNIT. *TR
