FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT LOCATIONS WHEN FUELING THAT THE PUMP WILL STOP AND THEN WITHIN SECONDS AFTERWARDS GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT ALL OVER THE VEHICLE THE GROUND AND WHOMEVER IS PUMPING THE FUEL. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A PRODUCT CALLED CELLCONTROL WHICH IS A DISTRACTED DRIVING PREVENTION PRODUCT. WHEN PLUGGING THEIR PRODUCT INTO MY OBD PORT MY CAR'S COMPUTER BEGAN ACTING UP. AFTER 2 WEEKS IN THE SHOP AND REPLACEMENT OF 2 COMPUTERS IN MY VEHICLE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CELLCONTROL DEVICE NOT ONLY COOKED MY CAR'S ELECTRONICS BUT IT VOIDED MY WARRANTY SINCE I BROKE THE FACTORY INSTALLED SEAL ON THE OBD PORT IN ORDER TO PLUG THEIR DEVICE IN. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN ADEQUATELY TESTED AND MAY RESULT IN ACCIDENTS SINCE MY VEHICLE AT ONE POINT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF HIGH GEAR DUE TO THE COMPUTER MALFUNCTIONING. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THIS WAS ONE OF THE WORST TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT MY JEEP USED IN OCT OF 2011 THAT IT DID THIS HORRIBLE SHAKING BETWEEN 55-60 MPH. IT HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN AND RECENTLY WAS WORSE THAN EVER!! IT STARTED AT 40 MPH AND CONTINUED EVEN OVER 60 MPH IT WAS SO BAD I NEEDED TO PULL OVER, AS I COULDN'T CONTROL IT. I HAVE SINCE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE MANY JEEP OWNERS FACE-ESPECIALLY 2007. I AM GOING TO CONTACT JEEP AS I WANT IT FIXED, I COULD HAVE CRASHED IF I WEREN'T IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT!!! IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RECALLED TO BE REPAIRED. I'M HOPING JEEP AND MY LOCAL DEALER CAN FIX IT AND IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING, SUSPENSION
BOUGHT 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X IN APRIL 2010. 2 MONTHS LATER WHILE FILLING IT UP AT THE GAS STATION THE GAS CAME POURING BACK OUT. I THOUGHT PUMP WAS BROKEN ACTUALLY INFORMED CLERK. HAPPENED AGAIN 3 FILL-UPS LATER. AROUND THAT TIME STARTED HAVING A SHIMMY IN FRONT END. BROUGHT IT BACK TO DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WAS TOLD THEY NEVER HEARD OF GAS COMING BACK OUT I MUST BE DOING SOMETHING WRONG AND THE SHIMMY WAS "NORMAL" FOR JEEPS. BEEN HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN ANY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. I'VE ONLY BOUGHT USED. I'VE HAD TO HAVE THE 02 SENSORS CHANGED 4 TIMES. I HAVE MY TIRES BALANCED SEVERAL TIMES. MY TIRES ROTATED. ALIGNMENTS, ETC. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER. FAST FORWARD TO 2013. SHIMMY IS SO BAD I ALMOST TOOK OUT ANOTHER DRIVER. THANKFULLY I'M A COMMERCIALLY TRAINED DRIVER OTHERWISE IT COULD HAVE ENDED BADLY. STILL HAVE GAS POURING OUT EVERY FILL UP. 02 SENSORS STILL KEEP CRAPPING OUT. HEAD GASKETS HAD TO BE REPLACED ALREADY. I FINALLY HAD ENOUGH AND TOLD DEALER THEY NEED TO FIX NO MORE GAMES AND I FIND OUT ABOUT THE TSB FOR THE STEERING DAMPER. THEN I ALSO HAVE TO BE TOLD THAT MY MAIN REAR OIL SEAL IS NOW LEAKING AND MY TRANNY COOLANT LINES ARE LEAKING??? OH AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL THIS WAS NORMAL FOR JEEPS AS WELL???? REALLY!!!!! THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 66K MILES ON IT. IT'S ALL ORIGINAL NO LIFT KITS, NO OFF ROADING, NOTHING.... THIS IS BULL... FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I PAID FOR THIS VEHICLE SOMEBODY SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING. I FIND HIS SITE AND LO AND BEHOLD... I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE... UNBELIEVABLE!!!! *TR

JEEP LEAKS DURING ANY RAIN STORM. AREA BETWEEN THE DOOR AND FRAME OF JEEP THAT IS NORMALLY PROTECTED BY WEATHERSTRIPPING DOES NOT CONTROL LEAKS. I HAVE HAD THE WEATHERSTRIPPING REPLACED AND THE LEAKS STILL CONTINUE. A GOOD RAIN STORM WILL LEAVE 2 INCHES OF WATER IN MY FLOORBOARDS. CARPET IS BEGINNING TO ROT AND MOLD WILL HAVE TO BE REMOVED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS FUELING MY JEEP. WHILE THE PUMP WAS ACTIVE I WAS WASHING THE WINDOWS. I HEARD ANS SMELLED FUEL SPLASHING AND HAD TO RUN BACK AND MANUALLY DISENGAGE THE NOZZLE. THE LEFT REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND WERE COVERED WITH GAS. THINKING IT MIGHT BE A GAS PUMP (GAS STATION) PROBLEM, I IGNORED THE PROBLEM. WHEN IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, I GOT REPAIRS DONE AT A LOCAL GARAGE. MY GARAGE LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND HTTP://WWW.EDMUNDS.COM/AUTOOBSERVER-ARCHIVE/2011/02/CHRYSLER-FUEL-SPIT-BACK-COMPLAINTS-RISE.HTML WHICH DOCUMENTS A SPIKE IN COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS. *TR
