FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE USED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2011 WITH 27K MILES ON IT AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK I END UP WITH GASOLINE OVERFLOW. BASICALLY, I STICK THE GAS NOZZLE IN AND WHEN IT IS AUTOMATICALLY FINISHED, SOME GASOLINE SPITS BACK OUT OF THE TANK ALL OVER THE CAR, THE GROUND AND AT TIMES MYSELF. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME, REGARDLESS OF GAS STATION OR WHAT STATE I AM IN (INDIANA, ILLINOIS AND KENTUCKY). THE ONLY SOLUTION IS THE MANUALLY PUMP THE GAS AND ESTIMATE WHEN IT IS ALMOST FULL AND STOP. THIS IS HARDLY PRACTICAL AND SHOULD BE FIXED. I SEE THAT THE ISSUE HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY A SIMPLE GOOGLE.COM SEARCH BUT ONLY FOR THE 2007-2008 JEEP WRANGLERS. MINE IS A 2009 WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. *TR

SUSPENSION
I AM A SECOND OWNER OF A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. AFTER PURCHASING THE JEEP, I EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS IS WHEN THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE OF THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION GOES INTO AN UNDRIVABLE WOBBLE. TO RECOVER YOU EITHER TAKE YOUR FOOT OF THE ACCELERATOR OR ATTEMPT TO BRAKE. THERE ARE YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING THIS OCCURRING. I TOOK THE JEEP TO A SHOP WHERE THE OWNER HAD A JEEP AND KNEW ABOUT THE "DEATH WOBBLE". HE ALIGNED THE VEHICLE AND INSPECTED ALL THE FRONT END SUSPENSION PARTS. THIS DID NOT HELP. HE BALANCED ALL THE TIRES. THIS HELPED FOR BUT THE WOBBLE RETURNED. AFTER RETURNING TO THE SERVICE SHOP THE OWNER REPLACED THE CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS. THIS HELPED FOR 2-3 DAYS. NOW THE DEATH WOBBLE IS BACK. THE JEEP IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IN MY JEEP, AND IT IS TERRIFYING. WHEN DRIVING ANYWHERE FROM 40-65 MPH, THE FRONT END WILL OCCASIONALLY BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND IT FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW WAY DOWN AND TRY TO GET OFF THE ROAD (DIFFICULT IN MANY CONDITIONS). I RECENTLY TOOK IT IN TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY "FIXED" THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE BALL JOINTS, THE STEERING DAMPER, AND THE FRONT SHOCKS ($1,700). IT SEEMED TO BE OK FOR ABOUT 2 1/2 MONTHS, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE AT THIS TIME, BUT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION (ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING 60 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY!), AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALL THE SUDDEN THE WHOLE VEHICLE INCLUDING THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE HORRIBLY. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I CAN CONTROL THE STEERING WHEN THIS OCCURS. STEPPING ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN/STOP MAKES IT WORSE. ONCE I DROP BACK BELOW 40 MPH IT STOPS, TIL THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS ONLY OCCASIONALLY. RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN THIS OCCURS. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS ISSUE IS BUT IT IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING WHILE THIS IS OCCURRING. *TR

POWER TRAIN
ON THE 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION THE 2009 JEEP WRANGLER WILL VIOLENTLY SLIP OUT OF 1ST GEAR INTO NEUTRAL WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN FAIRLY FREQUENTLY SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2009. WHEN THIS DOES OCCUR IT IS A VERY LOUD NOISE AND THE FORCE OF THE SHIFTER COMING OUT OF GEAR CAN INJURE A HAND. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS LEAVING A FRIENDS HOME WHO LIVES IN THE HILLS ABOVE MALIBU BEACH CALIFORNIA. THE STREET SHE WAS TRAVELING DOWN IS TRAMONTO DRIVE. SHE GOT NO FURTHER THAN 4 HOUSES AWAY, AND BEING TRAMONTO IS A HILL WITH SOME MILD TWISTS AND TURNS, SHE WENT TO BRAKE. THERE WERE NO BRAKES. SHE TRIED TO PRESS HARDER ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE AND THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP. SHE HIT A MAILBOX AS WELL AS A PARKED CAR AS SHE HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO GET HER CAR TO STOP. THERE WAS A WITNESS WHO WAS RIGHT BEHIND HER WHO COULD TELL THAT SOMETHING WAS HAPPENING WITH THE CAR. OUR DAUGHTER PULLED THE ER BRAKE, AND SKID HITTING AND TAKING OUT TWO MAILBOXES AND THE BUMPER OF A CAR. THE TOTAL DISTANCE SHE HAD DRIVEN....4 HOUSES...THE BRAKE PEDDLE WOULDN'T DEPRESS. *TR

ON MULTIPLE INSTANCES, WHILE FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE GAS WILL NOT SHUT OFF, AND THE FUEL WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF THE TANK AND SPILL ON THE GROUND AND SIDE OF VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, AND I HAVE FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR JEEP. VEHICLE IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY, AND I FEEL THIS UNSAFE CONDITION SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR
