FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
VEHICLE SPITS OUT FUEL IF YOU ALLOW THE AUTO SHUT OFF TO RUN FROM THE PUMP. IF I FILL UP MY TANK UNTIL THE PUMP SHUTS OFF IT WILL OVERFLOW ABOUT A QUART OF FUEL ON THE FLOOR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID IT DID NOT HAPPEN FOR THEM. I HAVE RECORDED THE NEXT THREE FILL UPS AND IT DID IT EVERY TIME. MY VEHICLE IS A 2007 BUT WAS BUILT IN 10/2006. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM ON SIMILAR VEHICLES BUILT AFTER 03/2007. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY VEHICLE SPILLS FUEL OUT OF THE FILLER AREA EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THE FUEL GETS ON ME, THE VEHICLE, AND THE GROUND. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE MATTER, AND THEY ADVISE ME BECAUSE I AM OUTSIDE THE TIME FRAME FOR THEIR TSB, ANY REPAIRS WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID BY ME. AFTER THOROUGHLY RESEARCHING THE MATTER, IT SEEMS THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD CONCERN. CHRYSLER HAS ADDRESSED THE ISSUE FOR SOME, BUT NOT OTHERS BECAUSE "WE'RE OUTSIDE THE WINDOW". PLEASE SEE YOUR CODE #PE10032. ALSO, MY VEHICLE CONSUMES OR BURNS OIL AT THE RATE OF ONE QUART PER 1000 MILES. AGAIN, RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS ANOTHER WIDE SPREAD MATTER ATTRIBUTED TO FAULTY MOTOR CONSTRUCTION OF SOME 2007/2008 ENGINES. OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE REPAIR DONE UNDER WARRANTY FOUND THAT ON THREE PISTONS, RING GAPS WHERE IN A LINE, THE OTHER THREE WHERE CLOSE, ALL SIX OIL EXPANDER RINGS AND PISTON RODS WHERE INSTALLED UPSIDE DOWN. CHRYSLER WILL ADDRESS THE MATTER ONLY IF YOU ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE COST SHOULD BE BARED BY THE CONSUMER WHEN BOTH MATTERS ARE SO COMMON AND WIDE SPREAD AS TO INDICATE DESIGN FLAWS IN THE PRODUCT. WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR THEIR INABILITY TO BUILD A COMPONENT CORRECTLY?

I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED(4-DOOR MODEL) IT IS A HALF DOOR, NOT LONG AFTER BUYING NEW MY HALF DOORS STARTED LEAKING, SO WENT INTO SHOP 4 TIMES, WAS FIXED FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW LEAKING VERY BADLEY AGAIN! CALLED JEEP THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO FIX THEIR FLAWED DESIGN! DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE THERE IS A 2 INCH GAP THAT OPENS UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS! AND WHEN IT RAINS IT COMES RIGHT INSIDE, HITTING YOU IN THE FACE! WHICH TO ME IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE I WEAR CONTACTS REALLY BAD! AND I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AT JEEP FORUMS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 4 DOOR HALF DOORS..SO WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY SHOULD RECALL? SO PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE FOR ME.... [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHENEVER MY 2007 JEEP HIS A BUMP AT SPEEDS OVER 45MPH, IT BEGINS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". IT SHAKES AS IF READY TO FALL APART. IT OCCURS MOSTLY ON THE HIGHWAY, WHERE I NEED TO HOLD ON TIGHT AND SLOW AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO A NEAR STOP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I WILL NOT LET MY THREE TEENAGERS DRIVE THE CAR. APPARENTLY THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALL 2007 WRANGLERS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED OVERFLOWS FUEL EVERY TIME AT THE PUMP. DOES NOT MATTER IF I HOLD IT, OR IF IT IS ON AUTOMATIC HOLD. ALWAYS OVERFLOWS. SOMETIMES SPRAYS OUT OF THE HOLES ON THE VAPOR LOCK. DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1200 TO REPLACE FUEL TANK. CHRYSLER TSB ON 2007-08, BUT NOT OTHER YEARS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE TOTALITY OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
A WHILE AGO I HAD THE CLIMATE CONTROLS GO OUT IN MY 1999 JEEP WRANGLER. UPON INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THAT THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR AND THE CLIMATE CONTROLS HAD MELTED DUE TO THE HEAT GENERATED FROM THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. I REPLACED THE CLIMATE CONTROLS IN MY JEEP, HOWEVER, THE ELECTRICAL WIRING STILL GETS VERY HOT. I DID SOME CHECKING IN JEEP FORUMS AND APPARENTLY, THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THE "TJ" JEEP MODEL. I AM ENCLOSING A LINK TO AN ARTICLE THAT ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE, IN IT THE AUTHORS DETERMINED THAT THE UNCORRECTED WIRING CAN REACH 122 DEGREES.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER CONSTANTLY LIGHTS UP AND CHIMES ABOUT EVERY 20-30 SECONDS. THERE WASN'T AN INCIDENT THAT CAUSED THIS TO START HAPPENING, IT JUST STARTED DOING IT ONE DAY. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHICH, I ALSO BELIEVE WILL PREVENT THE DRIVER AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING, AS OF YET, TO GET THIS REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN HOPING THERE WOULD BE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM SEEING THAT MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
THE HORN STOPPED WORKING AND THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT APPEARED. IN MY CASE THE FAILURE OF HORN AND AIRBAG OCCURS ALWAYS AND I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD LEAD TO DEATH IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. AT THIS TIME I HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE FIXED BUT THE DEALER ESTIMATES $500 TO REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING WHICH SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE. THIS SEAMS SO BE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF JEEP AS I HAVE SEEN THAT MANY OF THE RHD JEEPS FROM THIS YEAR ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT, STEERING
MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR DEVELOPED A VIOLENT SHAKE WHEN I WOULD HIT A BUMP OR GO OVER RAILROAD TRACKS AT SPEEDS AROUND 15 MPH TO 25 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK LEFT AND RIGHT, ALMOST TO THE POINT THAT I COULD NOT MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL OR THE VEHICLE. I COULD FEEL THE FRONT WHEEL SHAKING BACK AND FORTH. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WOULD BE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER A GREAT DEAL OF DIAGNOSING THIS ISSUE, I REMOVED THE FRONT TRACTION BAR AND NOTICED THAT THE BOLT HOLES ON BOTH THE FRAME AND AXLE BRACKETS THAT SECURE THE TRACTION BAR HAD BECOME ELONGATED. DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING OUT OF WARRANTY, I TOOK IT TO A WELDING SHOP. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE TO WELD A HEAVY DUTY WASHER ON BOTH SIDES OF EACH MOUNTING BRACKET TO SECURE THE MOUNTING BOLTS. THE WELDING SHOP ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE A PERMANENT FIX, BUT MAY LAST FOR A WHILE. THEY ALSO INFORMED MY THAT THE METAL BRACKETS APPEARED TO BE MADE OF WEAK METAL AND THE BOLTS ARE GRADE 8. THEY SAID THIS EXPLAINS THAT THE BRACKET IS WEAKER THAN THE BOLT AND THAT IS WHY THE BRACKETS GAVE WAY. AFTER THE WASHERS WERE WELDED ON THE BRACKETS, THE SHAKING HAS GONE AND HAS NOT RETURNED. I HAVE READ ON JK-FORUM.COM OF MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
2006 JEEP WRANGLER AND THE DEATH WOBBLE. JEEP HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS CONDITION FOR SOME TIME NOW AND SINCE MY WARRANTY IS UP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT WAS UP, I AM NOW STUCK WITH IT OR PAY ALOT OF MONEY FOR A ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED YEARS AGO BY JEEP. EVERY TIME I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AT 60MPH THE JEEP GOES OUT OF CONTROL AND SHAKES THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE ROAD AND THEN ITS FINE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GOOGLE JEEP AND DEATH WOBBLE AND YOU WILL SEE HOW MANY COMPLAINTS ARE OUT THERE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER LIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING 10 MPH AND ABOVE, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BOUNCE VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO FILL THE GAS TANK ON MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER X FUEL OVERFLOWS AT THE POINT AT WHICH IT SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. ON SOME OCCASIONS ITS A SMALL AMOUNT, OTHER TIMES, ITS SPRAYS OUT FORCEFULLY AND GETS ALL OVER ME, MY JEEP, THE GROUND, AND ANYTHING ELSE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH GAS STATION I FILL UP AT, IT HAPPENS EVERYWHERE. MY ONLY SOLUTION IS TO ATTEMPT TO CALCULATE HOW MUCH I CAN PUT IN MANUALLY WITHOUT TOTALLY FILLING IT UP. LOTS OF GUESSWORK INVOLVED, SOMETIMES UNSUCCESSFULLY. I SEE SPRAYING A FLAMMABLE LIQUID AROUND IN AN UNINTENDED MANNER AS A SAFETY HAZARD. SO FAR, JEEP DOES NOT SEE IT THE SAME WAY.... *TR
