FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER PORT DURING THE REFUELING PROCESS. 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. THE FUEL SPLASHES ON THE PERSON FUELING THE CAR, THE CAR ITSELF, AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY, NOT JUST A SINGLE OCCURRENCE. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS ALL OVER THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF ON THE GAS PUMPS DOES NOT DO ANYTHING. THE GAS PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY AND STILL OVER FLOW. SICK AND TIRED OF CONSTANTLY CLEANING GAS OFF THE OUTSIDE OF MY CAR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
LAST SUMMER (2010) MY 4-DOOR 2007 JEEP WRANGLER BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS SHUT-OFF VALVE. WHEN FILLING UP WITH GASOLINE, GAS WOULD SHOOT OUT OF THE TANK AT THE END OF THE FILLING PROCESS. IT SPLASHES OUT OF THE TANK AND IF I DON'T GET OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME, GAS CAN SPRAY ON MY BODY. OTHERWISE, GAS SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY FOR A WHILE AND NOW HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH FUEL. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT AND NOT SOMETHING I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER THAT SPEWS GAS EVERYTIME I FILL UP, THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE 2007-2010 JEEPS. IT ALSO HAVE A BAD CLOCKSPRING FROM HITTING A BUMP, ANOTHER THING THAT GOES BAD OFTEN IN THE 2007-2010 JEEPS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
OVER FLOW OF GASOLINE EVERY TIME I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION. IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT MY JEEP BRAND NEW IN 2006. THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT HOLDS YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL GASOLINE AND EXPECTS IT TO BE CLEANED. I DRIVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER X. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
I HAVE A 2004 WRANGLER RUBICON - ALL STOCK, AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING WHAT I'VE JUST COME TO REALIZE IS THE DEATH WOBBLE FOR THE PAST 8+ MONTHS. I'VE REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES, HAD ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING, JUST TODAY HAD STEERING STABILIZER REPLACED TO NO AVAIL. THE WOBBLING CONTINUED ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE SHOP. ANYTIME I HIT A BUMP, THE FRONT END STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO A NEAR STOP BEFORE I CAN PROCEED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP. THIS IS MY DAILY RIDE TO WORK AND IT IS NOT SAFE! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SUSPENSION, STEERING
SEVERE WOBBLE IN FRONT END WHERE CONTROL OF VEHICLE IS HARD TO MAINTAIN. IT BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY AND BRIEFLY AND NOW IS REPETITIVE AND SUSTAINED. MY WRANGLER IS NOW BEING EVALUATED FOR THE FOURTH TIME AND NEEDS A STEERING DAMPENER REPLACED (WHICH WAS THE RECALL) ALONG WITH REPLACING UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS. CHRYSLER REPORTEDLY HAD 4,000 OF THESE VEHICLES RECALLED UNDER SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: CSN-J34 WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS LIKE IT IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHAKES/WOBBLES AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS WAS A "KNOWN ENGINEERING FLAW".

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE ISSUE IS LEAKING TRANSMISSION LINES IN 2007 - 2012 JEEP WRANGLERS EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THE TRANSMISSION LINES THAT LEAD FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO THE RADIATOR ARE LEAKING WHERE THE LINES CHANGE FROM METAL TO RUBBER. ACCORDING TO MANY PEOPLE ON A WWW.JKFORUM.COM AND OTHER JEEP FORUMS ON THE WEB, THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE. IF SOMEONE IS NOT AWARE OF THE LEAK, IT COULD RESULT WITH ALL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK OUT AND THE TRANSMISSION TO OVER HEAT. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD FAIL AND COST THE CONSUMER $1,000'S TO HAVE REPAIRED. ALSO, IF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK IS SERIOUS, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COULD SPRAY ONTO THE EXHAUST OR ENGINE BLOCK AND CATCH FIRE. LEAKING TRANSMISSION LINES ARE HAPPENING TO TOO MANY JEEP WRANGLERS AND IT IS NOT FAIR FOR ALL THESE CONSUMERS TO PAY FOR THESE DAMAGES. THE COST TO REPLACE THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION LINES COULD RANGE BETWEEN $200 AND $300 DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIVE. AND ONCE AGAIN...IT IS NOT FAIR FOR THE CONSUMER TO EVEN PAY THIS AMOUNT TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY JEEP WRANGLERS FROM THE MANUFACTURE YEARS OF 2007 - 2012. WHEN I CALL MY DEALERSHIP TO PRICE THE TRANSMISSION LINES, THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE PART BECAUSE THEY ARE SOLD OUT. I HAVE ALSO HEARD THAT THE REPLACEMENT LINES HAVE A NEW PART NUMBER (WHICH MAKES ME THINK THEY HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED) AND ARE ON BACK ORDER.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DURING RE-FUELING MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER, FUEL WILL COME BACK OUT OF THE INLET WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL REACHES THE TOP. IT SPILLS NO MATTER HOW SLOW OR FAST I FUEL THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN READING ON INTERNET COMMUNITY SITES THAT THIS IS A LARGE SCALE PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD LOG A COMPLAINT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WITHIN THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I CANNOT FILL UP MY GAS TANK WITHOUT GAS SPILLING OUT BEFORE THE TANK CUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE TUBING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SO THEY DID IT. BUT, I STILL HAD THE PROBLEM. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THE CHARCOAL CARTRIDGE IS CLOGGED AND HAS BLOCKED THE VENT INTO THE GAS TANK. THIS WILL NOW NEED REPLACING. BECAUSE I AM JUST OUTSIDE MY WARRANTY, CHRYSLER HAS AGREED TO COVER MOST OF THE COST. EACH TIME I HAVE TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE BECAUSE THE DEALER KEEPS DECIDING IT IS SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN JEEPS. WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM? I READ THERE WAS A RECALL OF THE PROBLEM IN '07-'08 JEEPS, BUT ONLY THOSE YEARS. IF THE PROBLEM WAS ACKNOWLEDGED, WHY IS IT STILL HAPPENING IN '09 JEEPS? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CLOCK SPRING IN MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER WENT OUT IN OCTOBER, 2010. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT GETTING THE PART REPLACED. I THOUGHT THAT SINCE THE CLOCK SPRING IS THE PART RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THE AIRBAG DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT, IT WAS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE SERVICED FREE OF CHARGE, SINCE MY AIRBAGS WERE NOW RENDERED USELESS. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS NO SUCH POLICY, SO I WAS FORCED TO PURCHASE A NEW CLOCK SPRING OUT OF POCKET. THE CLOCK SPRING WAS APPROXIMATELY $250 IN COST. I INSTALLED THE CLOCK SPRING MYSELF, AND I DISCARDED THE OLD ONE, THINKING I HAD NO USE FOR IT ANYMORE. *TR

STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD CEASE ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS DECELERATED TO 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ADJUSTED THE TIRE PRESSURE AND PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SECOND DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO A COMBINATION OF A DEFECT IN THE STEERING DAMPENER, TIRE WEAR AND AN ALIGNMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED UT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,106.

SUSPENSION:FRONT
2009 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X 4 DOOR 4X4 STOCK: EXPERIENCED "DEATH WOBBLE" WHILE TRAVELING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 40-65 MPH FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY ESPECIALLY WHEN HITTING SMALL OR LARGE BUMPS OR POT HOLES. HAS HAPPENED FOR THE PAST 10,000 MILES AND THE CAR HAS JUST UNDER 30K NOW. SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT THAT VEHICLE HAD TO BE BROUGHT TO A COMPLETED STOP EVEN IN THE LANE OF TRAVEL ON THE HIGHWAY. VERY DANGEROUS AS A CAR SLAMMED ON ITS BRAKES BEHIND ME ON THE LEFT LANE OF THE NJ GARDEN STATE PARKWAY NEARLY SETTING OFF A CHAIN REACTION ACCIDENT. STEERING DAMPER REPLACED BY DEALER CLAIMING THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER PICKING THE VEHICLE UP IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NEXT TIME THE DEALER REPLACED RUINED BALL BEARINGS DUE TO THE DEATH WOBBLE AND REALIGNED & WHEELS BALANCED AND ROTATED. A FEW DAYS LATER THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS HURT OR DIES TO INTERVENE. CLEARLY THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR THESE JEEPS, JUST GOOGLE AND YOU WILL SEE MANY COMPLAINTS NOT FORMALLY LODGED HERE! MANUFACTURE NEEDS TO COME OUT WITH A VIABLE RESOLUTION AS THE DEALERS SEEM STUMPED. *TR
