STEERING
THE STEERING IS DEFECTIVE IT ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND YOU LOSE CONTROL. I ALMOST RAN INTO A CONCRETE WALL ALONG THE INTERSTATE. I WAS ACCELERATING UP AN ENTRANCE RAMP AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THE HOOD WAS SEPARATING FROM THE BODY I ESTIMATE AT LEAST 6" OFF SIDE TO SIDE SHAKE. I COULD NOT STEER, JUST TRY TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT AND ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. THE BALL JOINTS, TIE ROD JOINTS, AND TRACK BAR MUST BE REPLACED. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
EXTREME VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END BROUGHT ON BY (1) HITTING A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD AND (2) HITTING THE BRAKES HARD. I NOW UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS REFERRED TO AS THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. IT IS, AS YET, UNREPAIRED. VEHICLE DAMAGE IS UNKNOWN AT THIS POINT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
OVER THE PASS TWO MONTHS AS I FILL THE GAS TANK OF MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER ONCE THE TANK IS FULL AND THE PUMP STOPS THE FLOW OF GAS, GAS SPITS BACK OUT OF THE FUEL INLET WITH SOME FORCE BEHIND IT. OTHER THAN GAS COVERING MY HANDS AND LEGS NO INJURIES HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS BUT WITH THE FORCE THAT IT DOES COME OUT OF THE INLET IT COULD EASILY GET IN TO SOMEONE'S EYES, NOT TO MENTION THE EFFECT OF GAS COVERING MY HANDS EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME I NEED TO REPLACE MY GAS TANK AS THERE IS A VENT THAT IS PART OF THE TANK THAT CAN NOT BE REPLACED WITHOUT CHANGING THE WHOLE TANK AT A COST OF 610.00 THIS SOUNDED ODD TO ME SO I STARTED LOOKING IN TO IT AND FOUND A LARGE NUMBER OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE. THAT IN TURN LED ME TO YOUR WEB SITE AND THIS COMPLAINT FORM. I HAVE AN OPEN CASE FILE IN WITH JEEP BUT HAVE NOT GOT AN ANSWER AS I WRITE THIS. I HAVE READ THE INVESTIGATION YOU HAVE DONE INTO THIS AND MY ONLY COMMENT TO THAT IS JUST BECAUSE NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT YET DOES NOT MAKE IT SAFE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR RUBICON MODEL THAT CHRYSLER'S RECENTLY RELEASED TSB TO REPLACE GAS TANKS DUE TO FUEL TANK OVERFLOW AND SPILLAGE DOES NOT COVER. MY BUILD DATE IS 11-06 AND IS PRIOR TO THE 3-07 BEGINNING BUILD DATE THAT CHRYSLER WILL REPAIR. I HAVE THIS FUEL OVERFLOW AND SPILLAGE PROBLEM EVERY TIME I FILL UP. FIRST I WOULD DO EVERYTHING TO AVOID SPILLING FUEL FOR MY AND OTHERS SAFETY HOWEVER AFTER BEING LEFT OUT OF THE TSB FROM CHRYSLER AND YOU ALL CLOSING THE CASE ON THE INCIDENT I FEEL COMPLETELY DISENFRANCHISED AND I HAVE DECIDED TO LET YOU KNOW THE SERIOUSNESS AND NEED FOR THIS TO EXPEDITED THAT I WILL NO LONGER BE CAREFUL AND I WILL ALLOW THIS PROBLEM TO OCCUR EVERYTIME I FILL UP. THIS OPINION IS SHARED BY MANY OTHERS AND OUR IDEA IS WE ARE GOING TO GIVE THIS PROBLEM EVERY CHANCE OF BEING AS DISASTROUS AS POSSIBLE TO GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. I KNOW THIS TACTIC IS NOT SAFE OR RESPONSIBLE HOWEVER NEITHER IS WHAT HAS BEEN DONE WIT THIS SITUATION ALL TOGETHER. HOPEFULLY THIS DANGEROUS AND AGGRAVATING SITUATION CAN BE RESOLVED QUICKLY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER, I GET GAS SPILLAGE EACH TIME I FILL UP THE TANK. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CERTAIN 2007 & 2008 WRANGLERS BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE GOOD ON ALL VEHICLES THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND NOT JUST PICK A FEW TO FIX. PLEASE HEAR MY PLEA AS I AM RETIRED AND LIVING ON A FIXED INCOME AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MAKE REPAIRS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS A FAR REACHING PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN GAS PUMP IS LEFT IN AUTOMATIC POSITION. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR MY YEAR AND MODEL OF VEHICLE, BUT IT'S NOT WITHIN THE MANUFACTURE DATE OF THE RECALL. THERE ARE MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I AM A FIREFIGHTER, SO I DO REALIZE THAT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE MANUFACTURE DATE IS 12/06. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH FUEL ABOUT A QUART SHOOTS BACK OUT AFTER THE PUMP STOPS. DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND AMBIENT TEMPS DO NOT AFFECT THE ISSUE, IT ALWAYS HAPPENS. THIS IS UNSAFE! MY WIFE AND I BOTH HAVE HAD GAS SPILLED ON US, OUR CHILDREN CAN BREATH THE FUMES ON US GETTING BACK IN THE CAR, AND GAS IS LEFT TO SEEP INTO THE GROUND OR CATCH ON FIRE FROM THE HEAT OF THE NEXT CARS EXHAUST. NOT SAFE! TSB 14-001-11 WHICH EXTENDS THE GAS TANK VALVE DOES NOT PERTAIN TO MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SINCE IT WAS BUILT DEC 22, 2006 AND THE TSB BEGINS ON MARCH 1, 2007. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SPLASHES OUT OF FILLER NECK ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED AT FILL-UPS WHEN THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. IT HAS OCCURRED IN WARM AND COLD WEATHER, AND AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS BOTH WITH AND WITHOUT VAPOR RECOVERY TYPE NOZZLES. AN ESTIMATED 1-2 CUPS OF FUEL CAN SPLASH OUT, GETTING ALL OVER ME, THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. ORIGINALLY THE PROBLEM NEVER OCCURRED, BUT NOW HAPPENS 50% OR MORE OF THE TIME HAVING STARTED PERHAPS TWO YEARS AGO. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT JUST BE ME UNTIL I LEARNED RECENTLY NHTSA WAS LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM CAN BE A POTENTIAL FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD, AS I OFTEN SEE IDIOTS SMOKING WHILE REFUELING THEIR VEHICLES. NOT TO MENTION OTHER POTENTIAL HEALTH AND INCONVENIENCE ISSUES DUE TO CONTACT WITH GASOLINE. *TR

NOTHING LEADING UP TO IT. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK. IT OVERFLOWS ALL OVER THE GROUND. IT HAS HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGHT MY JEEP BRAND NEW IN 2006. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT EXCEPT NEVER ACTUALLY FILL IT ALL THE WAY I USUALLY STOP ABOUT A GALLON OR TWO SHORT. BUT SOMETIMES DON'T LET GO OF THE PUMP IN TIME AND IT STILL OVERFLOWS. *TR

TIRES, EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER, SUSPENSION
WELL I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER X. WHEN I GET TO 50 MPH I EXPERIENCE EXTREME "DEATH WOBBLE" AS ITS OFTEN CALLED. MY VEHICLE WILL SHAKE TO THE POINT THAT IT FEEL LIKE EITHER THE AXEL IS GOING TO SNAP OR THE WHEELS WILL SHOOT OFF IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. IT IS VERY SCARY. ITS DOES IT ROUGHLY 8 OUT OF 10 TIMES AT 50MPH. IT STARTED AFTER HAVING THE JEEP FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS AND MY DEALERSHIP TRIED ONCE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AFTER THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS THE FRONT STABILIZER. IT CONTINUED AFTER THEY REPLACED THAT AND FROM THAT STANDPOINT TOLD ME IT WAS THE TIRES AND THEY WOULDN'T COVER NEW TIRES AFTER ONCE TELLING ME THEY HAD FIXED THE ISSUE. I NOW HAVE TO AVOID THE HIGHWAY IN FEAR OF DEATH. IT IS HONESTLY RESEMBLES OF A 8 OR 9 ON THE RICHTER SCALE. *TR
