WHEN PUMPING GAS INTO MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED IT HAS STARTED OVER FILLING EVERYTIME I PUT GAS IN IT. QUITE A BIT OF GAS SPEWS OUT AND GETS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND I HOPE THAT CHRYSLER IS PLANNING A RECALL OR HAS A FIX BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I OWN A 2007 4 DOOR 2WD JEEP WRANGLER THAT HAS WHAT IS KNOWN AS A "DEATH WOBBLE." IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN BREAKING WHILE DRIVING ONTO UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR DIVETS IN THE ROAD. THIS STARTED HAPPENING OVER A MONTH AGO AFTER I NOTICED THE STEERING SEEMED SOFT/LOOSE. NOW IF HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY. I AM WORKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHO BELIEVE THIS IS A CHRYSLER DEFECT THAT CAN NOT BE FIXED. CHRYSLER ALSO CONFIRMS THAT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IS INDICATIVE TO THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. THIS DEFECT IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS AND THERE SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER CAN NOT DO A RECALL FOR A DEFECT THAT THEY CAN NOT FIX. YESTERDAY, I TOOK A CERTIFIED TECH ON A TEST DRIVE AND THE VIOLENT SHAKING HAPPEN WITHIN TEN MINUTES WHILE ACCESSING AN ON RAMP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
NORMAL VEHICLE USE. NO VISIBLE FAILURE, HOWEVER THE FUEL TANK HAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE/DEFECT THAT DOES NOT ALLOW THE AIR TO VENT DURING FILLING OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS CAUSES THE FUEL TO SHOOT OUT OF THE FILLER CAP DURING NORMAL FILLING, SPILLING APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART OF GASOLINE ON THE BUMPER AND GROUND. IT OCCURS DURING EVERY FILL UP AT ANY GAS STATION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID NOTHING AND INFORMED ME IF I WANTED IT TO WORK PROPERLY I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE AN ENTIRE NEW GAS TANK. VEHICLE IS JUST 2 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 60,000 MILES. I EXPRESSED SAFETY CONCERNS AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT CARE. *TR

I HAVE A JEEP JK WRANGLER 2007 UNLIMITED. I HAVE OWNED IT FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. I WAS FILLING MY GAS TANK AT MY REGULAR STATION AT MY REGULAR PUMP (I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN) AND WHEN THE TANK FILLED UP GAS BEGAN GUSHING OUT. I HAD TO MANUALLY SHUT OFF THE GAS NOZZLE AND GOT GAS ALL OVER ME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TRAGIC INCIDENT HAD A SPARK FLOWN FROM A CAR PASSING BY OR SOMEONE THROWN A CIGARETTE OUT THE WINDOW. I REALLY THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WAS LOOKING THROUGH SOME FORUMS I FREQUENT (WWW.JK-FORUM.COM) AND SAW THERE WAS A THREAD ON THIS EXACT SUBJECT. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF JEEP WRANGLER. PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE LOOK IN TO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT (IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY) IN THE MEANTIME, I'VE TRIED 2 DIFFERENT STATIONS AND IT'S OVERFLOWED ONE TIME AND THE OTHER TIME IT DID NOT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, KOLLINS BULL A CONCERNED CONSUMER *TR

I HAVE A PROBLEM WHERE MY GAS TANK HAS BEGUN SPEWING GAS OUT EVERYTIME I PUT GAS IN THE TANK. MY GRANDSON AND I WERE COVERED IN GAS WHILE WE WERE 4 TO 5 FEET AWAY. FROM INVESTIGATION MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 2007 JK OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT NEVER USE TO DO THIS AND SUDDENLY NOW IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME YOU GET FUEL. WE NEED HELP BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK GAS COMES RUSHING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK A COUPLE OF SECONDS AFTER THE TANK REACHES FULL AND THE AUTO-SHUT OFF ON THE FUEL STATIONS FILL PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS CAUSES FUEL TO SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP WRANGLER AND PUDDLES ON THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL-UP AT DIFFERENT FUEL STATIONS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
1) DURING THE PERIOD OF PLACING THE MANUAL 6 SPEED INTO FIRST GEAR, THE GEAR WILL SPORADICALLY POP OUT AND ABRUPTLY BACK INTO NEUTRAL. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE AS TO THE TEMPERATURES NOR CONDITIONS OUTSIDE. IT OCCURS UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. (STATE/CITY ROAD 2WD) 2) THE FAILURE IS THAT WITHOUT WARNING IN A SPORADIC STATE, 1ST GEAR WHILE ENGAGED AND MOVING AT EITHER 1 - 10 MPH WILL ABRUPTLY POP OUT OF FIRST AND LAND IN NEUTRAL WITH A LOUD THUD WHEN OCCURRING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE IN THAT IF ONE IS PULLING ONTO A ROAD TO GO WITH OR AGAINST TRAFFIC AND THIS OCCURS, THE END RESULT COULD BE LIFE THREATENING. IF ONE PULLS ONTO A ROAD AND A CAR IS MOVING AT 40 MPH AND IS UNABLE STOP, A HIGH PROBABILITY EXISTS WHEREAS A T-BONE ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR THUS CAUSING DEATH. WITHIN 2500 MILES, THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED 10+ TIMES. 3) A SERVICE VISIT IS CURRENTLY SCHEDULED, ALTHOUGH IF IT IS A COLLAR OR SYNCHRONIZING ISSUE, IT WILL AS LIKELY AS NOT BE REPAIRED. THE INCIDENT DOES NOT DUPLICATE TIME AFTER TIME. AS I MENTIONED, IT HAS OCCURRED IT 10+ TIMES WITHIN 2500 MILES. ROUGHLY 2.5% OF THE TIME WITHIN THE 0 MILES TO 2500 MILES THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT THE MOST ACCURATE RESULT DUE TO 1ST GEAR ONLY BEING UTILIZED WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STAND STILL. A VAST MAJORITY OF MILEAGE IS ADDED WITHIN THE 4 - 6 RANGE. 2009 JEEP WRANGLER X, 2DR. *TR
