SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
PROBLEM WITH ANTILOCK BRAKES: ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ARE ON. THEY INTERMITTENTLY GO OFF, BUT MOSTLY THEY STAY ON. PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION/ENGINE: WHEN I DRIVE, THE JEEP STALLS OUT. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY, SO FAST SPEED, AS WELL AS ON SIDE STREETS. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE ONGOING, HAVE BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE JEEP.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAN NOT PUT FUEL INTO THE GAS TANK. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF EVERY FEW SECONDS DUE TO BACK PRESSURE. A MECHANIC CHECKED THE SYSTEM AND SAID THE PROBLEM WAS A STUCK ROLL OVER VALVE INSIDE THE FUEL TANK AND THE ENTIRE GAS TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1400. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, GAS SPLASHES OUT ONTO CAR AND ANYONE TRYING TO FILL THE TANK. SPILLING GASOLINE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AN MYSELF IS A SAFETY HAZARD!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN SEPTEMBER OF 2007. IT CURRENTLY HAS ~45,000 MILES ON IT. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR IT BEGAN TO STALL AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. IT MAY RUN FOR A SHORT TIME.....LONG ENOUGH TO PULL OUT FROM THE PUMP AND INTO TRAFFIC AND THEN STALL. IT HAS ALWAYS RESTARTED, BUT ON OCCASION STALLS AGAIN, OR MAY BUCK. FORTUNATELY, THIS HAS NOT RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT SO FAR. FOR SAFETY REASONS, I HAVE BEGUN TO LET IT RUN FOR A BIT AFTER FILLING BEFORE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. I DO NOT TOP OFF THE TANK ONCE THE SENSOR SHUTS THE PUMP OFF. IF I SHUT OFF THE PUMP BEFORE FULL, IT HAS NOT STALLED. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY CLAIMED NOT TO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, BUT I HAD FOUND ONLINE FORUMS WHERE OTHER OWNERS DISCUSSED EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK...AN EXPENSIVE PROPOSITION. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW AND PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE CAR REPEATEDLY STALLS. IT IS NOT BEING OVER-FILLED. NOT HUMAN ERROR. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. STALLS IN TRAFFIC - NO WARNING. JUST QUITS. REPEATEDLY. NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND LOTS OF MONEY SPENT AND IT WAS NOT REPAIRED. COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER WHO RECOMMENDED WE TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. WE DID. THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED. MECHANICS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. NHTSA SITE DOCUMENTS 35 REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. 16 REPORTS IN 2016. NUMEROUS ALSO IN THE 2008 JEEP. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHY NO RECALL RECOMMENDED.
