FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL VIOLENTLY ERUPTS FROM TANK MOUTH WHEN FILLING AND OVERFLOWS ONTO THE VEHICLE, GROUND & MYSELF. THIS OCCURS AT EACH COMPLETE FILL-UP. THIS 2005 JEEP WRANGLER SPORADICALLY TRIPS OBD-2 CHECK ENGINE CODES FOR EMISSION EVAPORATIVE COMPONENTS, IN THE P0440-P0456 RANGE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 SPUN A BEARING DUE TO INFERIOR MANUFACTURING, ASSEMBLY AND PARTS. I WAS TURNING A TRAFFIC CIRCLE CORNER AT APPROX 40MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF ONCE THE BEARING SPUN. AS A RESULT, I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH 2007-2008 JEEP WRANGLERS. I THINK THE MANUFACTURER OF THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS AS ITS DUE TO POOR WORKMANSHIP AND INFERIOR PARTS. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX AND DANGEROUS SINCE THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF SHORTLY AFTER THE INCIDENT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK, ANYWHERE FROM A CUP TO A QUART OR MORE OF FUEL OVERFLOWS AND SPRAYS OUT AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND (OR EVEN ON TO ME IF I'M STANDING BY IT) AFTER THE PUMP STOPS. I BOUGHT THE JEEP USED, AND IT HAS DONE THIS AT EVERY FILL UP SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS TANK OVERFILL ISSUE. DURING FILL UPS THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY AS INTENDED. WITHIN SECONDS A QUANTITY OF GAS WILL SURGE FROM THE FILLER NECK AND LEAK DOWN THE SIDE. THE QUANTITY IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT. PER MY RECORDS FROM PREVIOUS FILL UPS (WHERE THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE) NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN QUANTITY OF GAS OR MILEAGE DRIVEN HAS OCCURRED. ATTEMPTS TO LIMIT THE PROBLEM BY FILLING UP AT 1/2 TANK DID NOT HELP. SLOWING THE FILL RATE DOES NOT HELP MOST OF THE TIME. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THE PUMP WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AND THERE IS A HUGE SPRAY OF GASOLINE OUT OF THE TANK. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME, YOU ARE FORCED TO LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF THE GAS AND JUDGE WHEN IT IS ABOUT TO SPILL OUT IN ORDER TO PREVENT IT. (NOTE: I NO LONGER OWN THIS VEHICLE, BUT I AM DOCUMENTING IT HERE SINCE I HAVE HEARD THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM.) *TR

AIR BAGS
I CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AFTER I WAS RESEARCHING THIS WEB SITE AND SAW RECALL #L37. NHTSA ACTION # PE11019. I OWN A RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEP AND THIS RECALL VERY SPECIFICALLY SAID 2008-2012 RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEPS WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CLOCK SPRING. I CONTACTED JEEP SEVERAL TIMES, I WENT AHEAD AND HAD THIS REPAIR DONE ON MY OWN IN FEAR OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT AND NOT HAVING AN AIR BAG TO DEPLOY IF NEEDED, (I'M ON THE HIGHWAY 5-6 HOURS PER DAY) ALSO MY HORN WOULD NOT BLOW, IT IS NEEDED AT TIMES TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS ETC.. DEC. 15TH I CALLED AND REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS RECALL WAS VERY VIN SPECIFIC, AND MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED, I LET THEM KNOW I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS REALLY TROUBLED ME SO I CONTACTED JEEP AGAIN BY EMAIL, THEY INFORMED ME AGAIN THAT MY JEEP WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE VIN SPECIFIC RECALL. WHAT CAN I DO TO BE TREATED FAIRLY AND GET REIMBURSED FOR A RECALL THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON MY VEHICLE AS WELL??? I WAS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AS THE ONES THAT WERE RECALLED, AND THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEMS FOR ME AS WELL AS THE JEEPS THAT WERE SO VIN SPECIFIC. THERE SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM TO HAVING A VEHICLE RECALLED IF IT COULD HINDER THE AIR BAG FROM DEPLOYING AND RISKING THE LIVES OF ANYONE. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A BUMP AND WILL NOT STOP SHAKING UNTIL VEHICLE IS BROUGHT TO A STOP. DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT 5 TIMES BETWEEN AUGUST 06 AND JANUARY 07. DEALER REPLACED STEERING DAMPNER IN AUGUST, 2006. REPLACED TRAC BAR IN DECEMBER, 2006. I HAD INDEPENDENT SHOP CHECK FRONT END. FOUND NOTHING OUT OF SPEC. AT ONE POINT DEALER CLAIMED THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY TIRES. NEW TIRES FIXED PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME. HAD TIRES BALANCED 4 TIMES IN 2009. REPLACED STABILIZER SHOCK AGAIN IN AUGUST, 2009 AND AGAIN IN DECEMBER OF 2011 WITH HEAVY DUTY ONE. PROBLEM PERSISTS TODAY IN JANUARY OF 2012. *TR

EQUIPMENT, SUSPENSION, STEERING
DEATH WOBBLE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. BOUGHT VEHICLE IN OCT 2011, 5 OCCURRANCES OF DEATH WOBBLE, ALL ON FREEWAYS THROUGH JAN 10TH 2012. ONLY RECOURSE IS TO PULL OVER & STOP AFTER HITTING A BUMP OR GROOVE IN THE ROAD. NEWTONS LAW, EVERY ACTION CAUSES A REACTION. FRONT WHEELS WILL START SHAKING BEGIN GRADUALLY THEN VIOLANTLY UNTIL YOU CAN LUCKILY PULL OVER & STOP. ONCE STOPPED, YOU CAN START AGAIN & NOT EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN FOR WEEKS & THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN WHENEVER YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. VERY HARD TO EVEN CONTROL THE VEHICLE ONCE IT ABRUPTLY STARTS. DEALER SAYS IT'S DAMPER NEEDS REPLACED FOR 250$. DOING THIS... BUT THIS REALLY FEELS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE OR COVERED UNDER A EASY CARE WARRANTY THAT I WAS DUPED INTO BUYING AS WELL. AFTER 4 MONTHS OF OWNING A 20,000$ CAR & NEARLY KILLED 5 TIMES IS OUTRAGEOUS. MANY PEOPLE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL A VEHICLE IF THIS HAPPENED TO THEM. THIS IS A CHRYSLER DEFECT & THEY SHOULD BE ADDRESSING THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THEIR FAULTY ENGINEERING AND/OR PARTS. *TR

THE FUEL ALWAYS SPEWS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN ALLOWING THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF OF THE GAS PUMP. IT HAPPENS WITH EVERY GAS STATION I USE. I WOULD ESTIMATE ABOUT 1 TO 2 CUPS OF FUEL SPILL OUT AND ONTO THE GROUND EACH TIME I FILL UP. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT INVOLVES A FAULTY VALVE IN THE WRANGLER GAS TANK. JEEP NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS ISSUE. *TR
