FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE UP WITH GASOLINE AT A SERVICE STATION AN OVERFLOW CONDITION OCCURS WHERE A SIGNIFICANT VOLUME OF GASOLINE SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE OVERFLOW OF GASOLINE IS ENOUGH TO DOUSE THE OPERATOR PERFORMING THE FILLUP, RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND LEAVE A LARGE PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON THE GROUND. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN ADDING FUEL TO THE 2006 JEEP WRANGLER EITHER WITH AN AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF PUMP OR BY HAND THE FUEL OVER SPRAYS OUT OF THE NOZZLE HOLE WHEN THE TANK BECOMES FULL. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED YOU ADD FUEL SPILLING GAS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ON THE PERSON ADDING THE FUEL, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND AT THE GAS STATION. THIS MOST LIKELY IS CAUSED BUT VACUUM PRESSURE NOT BEING RELEASED CORRECTLY BY THE FUEL INLET HOSE AND WOULD BE A DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE FLAW. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE VEHICLE UP WITH GAS, GAS COMES POURING OUT OF THE FILLER OPENING. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL TYPES OF GAS PUMPS. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TANK OF VENTING SYSTEM BECAUSE THE PUMPS NEVER AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. GAS SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR. MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS TANK OVER FLOW EVERY TIME I FILL MY WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH GAS. JEEP SAYS ONLY 07 AND 08 ARE RECALLED NOT 06.THEY DON'T THINK A QUART OF GAS ALL OVER THE JEEP AND THE GROUND, HELLO, IS A PROBLEM, WOW UNREAL. MAYBE E.P.A SHOULD CARE. APPARENTLY ALL 05 AN 06 WRANGLERS WERE NOT RECALLED OUTRAGEOUS!!! JEEP AND THE E.P.A SHOULD CARE A LOT MORE ABOUT OUR ENVIRONMENT!! ITS DISGUSTING AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. PS I BOUGHT MY JEEP USED PREVIOUS OWNER NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT FROM WHAT I READ ALL DO THE SAME. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THIS IS AN UPDATE ON A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT OF THE DREADED JEEP WRANGLER "DEATH WOBBLE".THE ODI NUMBER FOR MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT IS 10259486.MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER NOW HAS 52,000 MILES ON IT AND THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAS GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THE LAST COMPLAINT REPORT AT 15,000 MILES.I DRIVE 24 MILES ROUND TRIP TO WORK EACH DAY AND ON AVERAGE THE "DEATH WOBBLE" OCCURS ONCE PER DAY.SOME DAYS IT OCCURS MORE, UP TO 4 TIMES PER TRIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.I CONTINUE TO GET THE SAME ANSWER FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP I.E.THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THERE IS NO COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLERS WITH REGARDS TO THE COMMON NAME FOR THE OCCURRENCE,"DEATH WOBBLE".I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THAT THEIR DENIAL OF A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES IS THAT NO ONE HAS CRASHED AS A RESULT OF IT YET.I CAME VERY CLOSE LAST WEEK WHEN IT OCCURRED TRAVELING DOWN THE LEFT LANE OF 4 LANE US 41 WITH A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER ALONG SIDE ME IN THE RIGHT LANE AND 2 VEHICLES FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND ME.I WAS FORCED TO HIT THE BRAKES AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THERE WAS A LOT OF SCRAMBLING BEHIND ME. I CONSIDER ALL VEHICLES IN THE VICINITY VERY LUCKY. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING, WHEELS
DEATH WOBBLE AS SHOWN ON WEBSITES, GOING 50 OR SO MILES PER HOUR , FRONT END WOBBLES UNCONTROLLABLY!! UNCONTROLLABLE, EXTREMELY UNSAFE AT TIME ,WHEN SHAKING AND WOBBLE STARTS!!! HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON EACH OF THE <<<3>>> TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED!!! WHY IS NHTSA AND JEEP WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO BE KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE TO HELP EVERYONE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE??? VERY SCARY AND FRUSTRATING. THINK OF YOUR FAMILY'S LIFE AS WELL AS ALL OF US!!! WE ARE ALL AT RISK . HOW MANY LIVES NEED TO BE LOST???? *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ALL THREE OF OUR SAME LIKE VEHICLES AT WORK HAVE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER YOUR GAS JUST CUTS OFF YOU CAN COUNT A SECOND OR TWO AND GAS COME FLYING OUT WHERE YOU PUT IT IN. JUST DO A SEARCH ON UTUBE AND YOU CAN SEE A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THIS. PUT IN SOMETHING LIKE JEEP WRANGLER FUELING. ALSO ALL THREE OF OUR FOUR DOOR JEEP 2009 WRANGLER RIGHT HAND DRIVE AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE ON. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS BUT JEEP WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FORE US. IN THE MEANTIME OUR AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 11V528000 AIR BAGS FRONTAL. THEY SAY OUR OURS ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS CRAZY. WHAT CAN WE DO. THANK YOU *TR

EQUIPMENT, STEERING, SUSPENSION
AS I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THE FRONT END OF MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY IN ORDER TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING, WHICH I WAS VERY THANKFUL THAT THE TRAFFIC WASN'T BAD AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. THIS AS KNOWN AS THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. IT HAS NOW DONE IT 5 TIMES, 3 OF WHICH WERE AFTER THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FIXED IT. THE FIRST TIME THEY PUT A NEW DAMPER ON IT. NOW IT IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN AFTER THAT DIDN'T WORK AND THEY ARE PUTTING NEW TIRES ON IT. AFTER READING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE, IT IS APPARENT TO ME THAT NEW TIRES ARE NOT GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. EVERY TIME YOUR FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY LIKE THAT, THE CHANCES OF DAMAGING COMPONANTS FURTHER INCREASES. MY RESEARCH HAS ALSO SHOWN ME THAT MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM AND THEY HAVE HAD TROUBLE GETTING ANYONE TO STEP UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM. IF YOU DO A SIMPLE SEARCH FOR JEEP DEATH WOBBLE YOU WILL FIND HUNDREDS OF PAGES FOR COMPLAINTS. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE OCCURED ON DECEMBER 23, 2011, AND MY MOST RECENT EXPERIENCE WAS ON FEBRUARY 17, 2012. 5 DEATH WOBBLES IN ALL, AND IT GETS WORSE EACH TIME. HAVING LITTLE CONTROL OVER THE STEERING AND FRONT END CREATES WHAT I AM SURE YOU WILL SEE IS A DEADLY COMBINATION IN ANY CONDITION. *TR

GAS STILL OUT WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK. THE SYSTEM DOESN'T STOP AT GAS PUMPS ALL OTHER CARS EVER DRIVEN. GAS ALWAYS STILLS OUT BEFORE IT STOPS THE PUMP. THIS OCCURS AT ALL PUMPS AND APPEARS TO BE A COMMON AND ONGOING ISSUE WITH JEEP OWNERS. *TR
