IN THE LAST MONTH I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH GAS OVERFLOWING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER AFTER THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF. THE GAS COMES OUT AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED DURING 3 OUT OF 4 FILL-UPS IN THE LAST MONTH. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING YET TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE FILLING JEEP WITH GAS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I PURCHASED USED, GAS OVERFLOWED FROM TANK, GAS PUMP DID NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL GAS WAS SPILLING OUT. I INFORMED THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT, THINKING IT WAS A GAS PUMP PROBLEM. SINCE THEN, I HAVE FILLED UP AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS, AND THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME UNLESS WE SLOWLY PUMP THE GAS IN AS THE TANK FILLS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
JEEP WRANGLER JK SPILLS FUEL OUT THE FILLER NECK DURING REFUELING. THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY BACK FLOW PREVENTER IN THE GAS TANK. CHRYSLER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED A PROBLEM AND OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANKS OF VEHICLES BUILT DURING SPECIFIED BUILD DATES. HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT COVER ALL THE VEHICLES AFFECTED WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO TAKE ANY ACTION. EVERY FILL UP CREATES A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SPILLS HAZARDOUS MATERIAL INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. *TR

STEERING
2007 WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED EXPERIENCES VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT END AND TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTER WHEN TRAVELING BETWEEN 35 AND 50 MPH ON BAD ROADS, THIS TAKES PLACE WHEN ENCOUNTERING A BUMP OR POT HOLE. GARAGE SUGGESTED AND INSTALLED A HEAVY DUTY STEERING STABILIZER. DID NOT HELP. THEN THEY TOLD ME THE RIGHT FRONT BALL JOINT HAD SOME PLAY AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO GET THIS DONE BUT UPON READING UP ON THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" I AM NOT CONVINCED IT WILL BE FIXED WITHOUT CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE ON MY PART. THIS SURELY IS A MFG DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. I HAVE 51,000 MILES ON THIS RATTLE TRAP. THE ONLY SOLUTION I HAVE AS OTHERS IS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAS NOT YET CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. I EITHER DON'T DRIVE IT OR GET RID OF IT AND A PROBABLY LARGE LOSS OF VALUE TO ME. *TR

ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER MY CLOCKSPRING WENT OUT AND POSED A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH MY SAFETY. WITH THE CLOCKSPRING OUT OF COMMISSION MY AIRBAGS WOULD NO LONGER DEPLOY. WHEN I WENT INTO MY LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED AND ASKED IF IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE SERVICEMAN TOLD ME IT WOULDN'T BECAUSE HE SAID IT WAS A WIRING PROGRAM AND THAT MY WARRANTY DID NOT COVER WIRES. I TOLD HIM THAT THE CLOCKSPRING WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE END RESULT WAS THAT I HAD TO PAY $437. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVEN. IT WOULD COME AND GO, MECHANIC CHECKED FOR THE OBVIOUS LOSS PARTS (MUFFLER, SHOCKS, ETC...). THE NEXT DAY WHEN THE NOISE REAPPEARED, THE MECHANIC HAS DRIVEN LESS THAN A QUARTER MILE WHEN THE ENGINE SEIZED. MECHANIC DROPPED THE OIL PAN AND FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL AND THE BEARING HAD SPUN. CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE MECHANICS WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH HAVE RELATED THAT THE NEW 07 3.0 LITER ENGINE WAS FOUND TO HAVE ISSUES THAT LEAD TO THIS SPUN BEARING. REPAIRS AND PARTS ARE WELL OVER $8000. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
SEVERE SHAKING IN FRONT END, FEELS LIKE MY TIRES ARE FALLING OFF, WHEN I AM ON HIGHWAY! HARD TO HOLD STEERING WHEEL IN PLACE, I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND STOP IN ORDER TO GET THE JEEP UNDER CONTROL. I BELIEVE THIS IS CALLED DEATH WOBBLE. I AM SO SURPRISED AFTER ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE THERE HAS BEEN NO FORCED RECALL! I AM SURPRISED WE DIDN'T CRASH AND CAUSE A PILE UP ON HIGHWAY! *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT, STEERING
I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA. TWO BIG COMPLAINTS. FIRST, WITH 51,000 MY JEEP HAS STARTED TO EXHIBIT WHAT IS COMMONLY CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE", APPARENTLY NOW AN INFAMOUS REALITY AMONG JEEP OWNERS UP TO THE 2010 MODELS (WHICH I AM TOLD, JEEP CORRECTED WITH A STABILIZER BAR REDESIGN). 45 MPH ON SMOOTH ROADS AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE FRONT END STARTS JUMPING UNCONTROLLABLY, AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET CONTROL IS TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES. I HAVE REBALANCED AND THEN REPLACED THE TIRES, AND HAVE HAD THE FRONT SUSPENSION CHECKED -- EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE IN ORDER, AND NO MECHANIC CAN FIGURE OUT THE TRUE "FIX". I WANT TO KNOW WHY NHTSA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR SERVICE NOTICE ON AN ISSUE THAT IS SO DANGEROUS? THE CONSISTENCY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DESIGN ERROR IN THE STEERING AND FRONT END OF THESE VEHICLES IS OVERWHELMING. SECOND ISSUE IS THAT MY GAS TANK DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE AUTO-CUT-OFF FOR GAS PUMP OPERATIONS -- WHENEVER I FILL UP THE TANK, THE GAS RUSHES UP THE TANK LINE WITH APPARENTLY NO BAFFLING AND COMES POURING OUT. AND NO, I AM NOT AN IDIOT WHO IS OVERFILLING THE TANK -- WHETHER THE PUMP IS ON AUTOMATIC FILL, OR I DO IT CAREFULLY MANUALLY, THE SAME THING HAPPENS -- THE TANK SUDDENLY FILLS AND SHOOTS GAS OUT OF THE FILLER CAP AREA. THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG HERE. I DID SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A PRIOR INVESTIGATION ON A SIMILAR COMPLAINT FOR THESE VEHICLES, AND THAT NHTSA DETERMINED NOT TO PURSUE A RECALL. I THINK THE ISSUE NEEDS TO GET REVISITED. THE LAME DODGE THAT NHTSA BELIEVED THAT MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE WERE "INTERNET DRIVEN" SOUNDS FECKLESS. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE SAFETY CONCERNS - ESPECIALLY THE DEATH WOBBLE ISSUE -- AND NEED REGULATORY INTERVENTION IN ORDER TO PROTECT CONSUMERS LIKE ME. THANK YOU. *TR
