FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
JEEP WRANGLER HAS HAD AN ISSUE WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL OVERFLOW AT TIME OF FULL TANK. THE PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF AND GAS IS SPILLED ON VEHICLE AND GROUND. HAPPENS EVERYTIME I FILL UP SINCE ABOUT 12K MILES ON ODOMETER. HAVE HEARD THAT JEEP WILL PAY FOR REPAIRS FOR JEEPS MANUFACTURED BEGINNING MARCH 2007. THERE ARE MANY OF US, LIKE MYSELF, THAT HAVE JEEPS MANUFACTURED EARLIER (MINE WAS MANUF. OCTOBER, 2006 - 2007 MODEL) THAT ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE JEEP TO OVER COVERAGE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE GAS TANK AS THEY ARE DOING FOR OTHERS. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. PLEASE ASSIST. THANK YOU. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING THRU CONSTRUCTION AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED STARTED SHAKING AND WOBBLING VIOLENTLY. IT WAS SO TERRIFYING AND WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING. MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE TAKING MY GRANDSON TO CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AND HAD ANOTHER 70 MILES TO TRAVEL AHEAD OF US AND WERE SCARED TO CONTINUE IN THIS VEHICLE. WE HAD TO SLOW TO ALMOST A STOP TO GET IT TO STOP WOBBLING. WE GOT OFF THE HWY AND FOUND A JEEP DEALER WHO RENTED US A CAR TO FINISH OUR TRIP AS THEY TRIED TO REPAIR MY JEEP. I HAD ONLY BOUGHT IT 34 DAYS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED BUT HAVE OWNED JEEPS FOR THE LAST 18 YEARS. WHEN WE RETRIEVED THE JEEP, THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER SHOCK AND SAID I SHOULD CONSIDER UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS. WE MADE IT HOME SLOWLY AFRAID IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. MY FIANCE AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WE GOT IT FROM THE NEXT MORNING AND LEFT IT THERE FOR THEM TO EXAMINE, THEY SAID THE BALL JOINTS LOOK FINE AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WE DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE IT IS CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" AND WITH GOOD REASON, IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO DIE. THE NEXT DAY WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE SALESMAN AND HIS MANAGER, THEY SAID WE NEED TO PUT IN A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER AND THE WOULD SPEAK TO THEIR CHRYSLER REP. AS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT. THAT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN MY FIANCE WAS DRIVING IT AS HE WAS GETTING ON AN OFF RAMP AT 50 MPR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT COULD KILL SOMEONE. I KNOW IF I TRADE IT IN SOME OTHER FAMILY WILL GET IT AND I DON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO GO THRU THIS. PLEASE PLEASE HELP US. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK UP THE PUMP NOZZLE DOES NOT SHUT OF AUTOMATICALLY AND I GET WHAT SEEMS LIKE A HALF A GALLON OF FUEL ON THE GROUND OR ON THE SIDE OF MY JEEP. I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT JEEP OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND ITS DUE TO A FAULTY ESIM SWITCH OR SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WHOLE GAS TANK ON JEEPS. *TR

AIR BAGS
THIS IS MY THIRD CLOCKSPRING IN JUST OVER TWO YEARS. I RUN A JEEP TOUR COMPANY WITH TWO JEEPS, TWO BEING THE 4 DOOR UNLIMITED. JUST AFTER REPLACING THE SECOND ONE IN JUST UNDER TWO YEARS ON THE 07 JEEP THIS ONE WENT OUT. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH OR LESS WHEN THE AIRBAG WAS ILLUMINATED. BASED ON PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH THE 07 I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND DISCOVERED THIS CLOCKSPRING HAD BECOME DEFECTIVE AS THE PRIOR TWO. I REPLACED THIS CLOCKSPRING MYSELF TO SAVE ON COSTS AS THE TWO PRIOR REPLACEMENTS COST OVER $400 EACH TIME. I HAVE SAVED TWO OF THESE CLOCKSPRINGS IF NEEDED FOR INVESTIGATION.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
THIS IS THE FIRST OF THREE SIMILAR INCIDENTS CONCERNING TWO DIFFERENT JEEPS AND CLOCKSPRING FAILURE. IN THIS INCIDENT THEY ADVISED THAT IT WAS CAUSED FROM A BIG JARRING. IN THE SECOND INCIDENT THEY SAID DUST. THE THIRD ONE, IN A SEPARATE 2008 WRANGER I REPLACED MYSELF. THEY CHARGE APPROXIMATELY $150 FOR LESS THEN A MINUTE OF DIAGNOSTIC AND APPROXIMATELY $250 FOR A PART THAT COSTS LESS THEN $180. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FLEECING OF THE PUBLIC AND NEEDS THE ATTENTION OF YOUR AGENCY. THERE IS A WAY TO DISABLE THE THE AIRBAG SOUND AND BECAUSE OF THESE COSTS IT COULD/WILL LEAD TO A DEATH FROM FAILURE.

I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON NEW. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, I DISCOVERED THAT GASOLINE WOULD FREQUENTLY OVERFLOW THE FILLER PORT WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE. FOR SOME REASON, ONCE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, FUEL OVERFLOWS THE PORT AND FLOWS OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE FUELING THE CAR, WHEN THE PUMP SHUT OFF, SEVERAL CUPS OF GASOLINE OVERFLOWED ONTO THE CAR AND GROUND BELOW. I'VE OWNED THE CAR LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AND HAVE ONLY FILLED IT UP TWICE. BOTH TIMES GAS OVERFLOWED ON THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT ONLY INCONVENIENT, IT ALSO WASTES MONEY AND IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. I AM TRYING TO SEE IF THIS REPAIR CAN BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT, STEERING
VIOLENT FRONT END SHIMMY KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE". OCCURS AT SPEEDS OF 40-50 MPH. VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND IS UNCONTROLLABLE. INITIALLY, TAPPING THE BRAKES AND SLOWING SLIGHTLY WOULD STOP THE SHAKING, BUT PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSED TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO STOP THE SHAKING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE SHAKING POSES AN ACCIDENT RISK BY VIRTUE OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND/OR A REAR END COLLISION, AS THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT BRING THE VEHICLE TO A SUDDEN STOP IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED ONLINE AND IS THE SUBJECT OF TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 19-003-06 (AUGUST OF 2006). IT SHOULD BE NOTED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS TSB DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, IT ONLY MASKS THE PROBLEM BY ADDING A STEERING STABILIZER. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60-65 MPH AROUND A SMALL BEND I HIT AN UNEVEN PART IN THE ROAD THE FRONT END STARTING SHAKING VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL I ALMOST COULD NOT HOLD THE WHEEL. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE SHAKING DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I CAN TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS WAS ALSO IN A LOT OF TRAFFIC. ANOTHER MILE DOWN THE ROAD THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH INTO THE WALL. THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS BOUNCING UP AND DOWN THE WHEEL VIBRATING SO MUCH IT WAS HARD TO HOLD ONTO. AGAIN WITH PEOPLE DRIVING HOME IN RUSH HOUR I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THIS VIOLENT SHAKING WOULD STOP. AGAIN I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH. *TR
