FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE PUMPING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE. THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKS AND SHUTS OFF FUEL WHEN GAS TANK IS FULL. THE VEHICLE WILL BURST FUEL BACK OUT. SPILLING ALL OVER SIDE OF VEHICLE AND ON TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I PUMP GAS I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I DON'T FILL GAS TANK TO FULL OR THE PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND IN DIFFERENT GASOLINE STATIONS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
SINCE PURCHASING THE 2005 JEEP RUBICON FROM BENGAL MOTORS, KINGSTON NY A OFFICIAL CHRYSLER, JEEP DEALER IT HAS SPRAYED OUT GAS FROM THE FILLER EVERY TIME YOU FILL IT UP. NO MATTER HOW EASY YOU SQUEEZE THE HANDLE IT WILL SPRAY OUT EVERY TIME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE. MY HAND KEEPS GETTING GAS ALL OVER IT AND THE GAS BURNS MY SKIN.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FUEL SPIT BACK ISSUE! I RECENTLY JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP FROM A LOCAL DEALER THAT FIRST NIGHT WHILE LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I WENT TO FILL UP MY TANK. THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T FILL UP YOUR TANK IF YOU BUY A USED CAR. WHILE STANDING AND WAITING FOR THE PUMP NOZZLE TO STOP I DID WHAT I USUALLY DO AND WAITED BY THE FUEL NOZZLE. AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE CLICKED LETTING ME KNOW THAT THE TANK WAS FULL AND UPON TAKING OUT THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE I NOTICED THAT ABOUT 3/4 OF A QUART OF GAS POURED OUT ALL OVER MY SHOES. AT FIRST I DIDN'T MIND THIS BUT AFTER A FEW TIMES OF REFUELING TO FULL THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME! IT SEEMS AS IF THERE IS PRESSURE IN THE TANK THAT BUILDS UP AND IS NOT RELEASED DURING FILLING. EACH AND EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN AND PUMP UNTIL FULL ALSO IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE FUEL PUMP IS ON HIGH PRESSURE OR LOW PRESSURE. GAS POURS OUT!

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
IT STARTED WITH A SLIGHT KNOCK IN THE ENGINE AT FIRST START UP. IT WOULD GO AWAY AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THAT LASTED ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS. UNTIL ONE START UP THE ENGINE WOULD NOT STOP TICKING, BY THE TIME I ARRIVED HOME THE ENGINE WAS KNOCKING VIOLENTLY. OIL LEVELS WERE FINE. HAD THE JEEP TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ENGINE INSPECTED, TO SEE IF IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE TECH DID AN INSPECTION AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE SPUN 2 CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS, BENT 4 RODS, DAMAGED 4 PISTONS, DAMAGE TO CRANK, AND ALMOST ALL OIL PASSAGES IN ENGINE WERE CLOGGED BY METAL DEBRIS. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE FACTORY SEAL ON THE ENGINE WAS OPENED. THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND TOLD THEM THE SITUATION. I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER MANY TIMES OVER THE MONTH SPAN THAT THE JEEP WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP,I ALSO HAD THE DEALERSHIP FAX ALMOST 20 OTHER CASES TO THE CLAIMS DEPT. THAT I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE SAME SITUATION AND PROVIDED THE VEHICLE YEAR, MAKE, AND MILEAGE INCLUDING ALL OF MY SOURCES. CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE ENGINE REPAIR BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE AND THAT I WAS NOT THE FIRST OWNER OF THE VEHICLE,THE JEEP HAS 53K ON IT. NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP COULD TELL ME THE REASON WHY THIS HAPPENED, OR HOW I CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SELF DESTRUCT. I WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT THE OIL PORTS INSIDE THE ENGINE GOING TO THE CRANK WERE DESIGNED TOO SMALL, AND THIS IS WHY THE CRANK BEARINGS WERE FAILING. I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO ANOTHER MECHANIC, HE ADVISED THAT A NEW ENGINE SHOULD BE INSTALLED. HE TRIED TO ORDER A NEW ENGINE FROM HIS SUPPLIER, BUT WAS TOLD THEY ARE ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT A WEEK TO RECEIVE A NEW ONE. HE WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS VERY AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND HAS REFUSED TO TAKE ANY ACTION AS OF NOW. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING TANK. AFTER AUTOMATIC NOZZLE SHUTS OFF GAS BACKS UP IN FILL TUBE AND EXITS FROM FILL TUBE. GAS SPILLS OVER ONTO OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE DESTROYING PAINT AND FORMING PUDDLE ON GROUND. SOMETIMES GAS EXPELS SO FAST IT SHOTS OUT AND GETS ON PERSON PUMPING FUEL. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FULL FILL UP. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS EXCEPT FOR TRYING TO MANUALLY STOP PUMP BEFORE TANK IS FULL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL WOULD SPEW BACK OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THE DEALER MADE TWO ATTEMPTS TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND CONCLUDED THAT THE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE PARTS NEEDED WERE NOT READILY AVAILABLE AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING THE ARRIVAL OF THE PARTS FOR REPAIRS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,309 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF DOES NOT ENGAGE FROM THE VEHICLE ITSELF. FUEL (ABOUT A QUART) CONTINUES TO FLOW AND OUT AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO SPRAYS OUT AND ON THE PERSONNEL FUELING THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A TSB 14-001-11 FROM JEEP ABOUT THE ISSUE, AND I REQUEST THIS BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS UNSAFE FOR THE OPERATOR TO HAVE FUEL SPRAYED ON THEM, AND HAVE FUEL SPILLAGE ON THE GROUND.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY BUILD DATE ON MY JEEP SAHARA WAS 10/2006. IT STARTED SHOOTING GAS BACK OUT THE FILL PIPE APP. A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED IT AND IT IS STILL DOING IT ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP REGARDLESS OF THE GAS STATION OR THE SPEED THE PUMP IS PUMPING (SLOW MEDIUM OR FAST).IT HAS SHOT GAS OUT AS FAR AS A FOOT FROM THE JEEP, SPRAYING ON ME A COUPLE DIFFERENT TIMES. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT SOME JEEPS AFTER A BUILD DATE FROM MARCH 2007 THRU 2008 ARE BEING REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE EARLIER BUILD DATES ARE NOT SINCE IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED A 2007 FOUR DOOR STEEL BLUE JEEP WRANGLER FROM A DEALERSHIP IN KANSAS. FROM THE START, I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHENEVER WOULD HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE CAME WITH AFTERMARKET TIRES AND RIMS THAT WERE 18 INCHES, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LIKE THAT. WHEN I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD 1ST THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT. THEN I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE TIRES, THEN I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A HEAVY DUTY STEERING DAMPER. I HAVE SINCE GOT THE TIRES THAT ORIGINALLY CAME WITH THE VEHICLE PUT BACK ON THEM, A NEW HEAVY DUTY STEERING DAMPER, BY THE DEALERSHIP, THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE JEEP, IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD. I HAVE TO BRING MY VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP, NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING 10 MPH OR 65 MPH, PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND PULL OVER IF I CAN, BEFORE RESUMING DRIVING. I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 22000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I EVEN PURCHASED A 2ND VEHICLE TO AVOID DRIVING THE JEEP. BUT, I AM STILL PAYING ON THIS JEEP AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT WITHOUT FEAR AND ANXIETY ABOUT A POSSIBLY COLLISION OR ACCIDENT WHICH I EXPERIENCE EVERY TIME I'M BEHIND THE WHEEL. THIS WINTER, I HAD TO DRIVE IT FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS BECAUSE MY CAR WAS DOWN FOR REPAIRS, BUT SINCE I HAD CAR FIXED I HAVE SINCE PARKED THE JEEP AGAIN. I NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP, NOT JUST FOR ME BUT FOR OTHER JEEP OWNERS, IF YOU ARE SO INCLINED PLEASE CHECK OUT "JK DEATH WOBBLE" AS IT IS TERMED ON THE INTERNET AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND YOU WILL KNOW WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED SINCE 2007, AND MANY JEEP OWNERS AS WELL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. I EXPERIENCE THE "DEATH WOBBLE" EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE JEEP WITHOUT FAIL, ABOUT 2-3 TIMES DEPENDING ON THE ROAD CONDITION, POTHOLES, BUMPS, AND UNEVEN WEAR. *TR

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN 50 AND 65 MPH AND HITTING A SLIGHT BUMP OR DIVET IN THE ROAD JEEP WRANGLER JK BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL I AM FORCED TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER AND BRING IT UNDER 30MPH.

AT THE PRESENT TIME I HAVE HAD IT TO THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS WHERE THE ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN CHECKED FOUR TIMES, THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED AND ROTATED BACK, A NEW STEERING STABILIZER HAS BEEN INSTALLED ALONG WITH A NEW BUSHING, NEW TRACK BAR AND NEW BALL JOINT. *TR
