OUR 2007 WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS 115,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS SUDDENLY STARTED OVERFLOWING GAS WHEN FILLING UP. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ALONG WITH AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. I'M IN TALKS WITH CHRYSLER AND HOPE THEY WILL PAY TO FIX AN OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE SYSTEM. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
1) I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X WITH 8,650 MILES ON THE VEHICLE IN 2008, KEPT THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS, AND IT NOW HAS 43,000 MILES. THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE OTHER THAN STANDARD SAFE DRIVING PRACTICES. 2) THE FAILURE IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AND IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON VARIOUS WEBSITES. THE "DEATH WOBBLE" OCCURS ANYTIME THE VEHICLE REACHES 50 MPH, AND WILL CONTINUE AS THE SPEED RISES OR FALLS. 3) THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED IN MY JEEP YET, IT IS BEING TAKEN IN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC TO BE FIXED. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GAIN ASSISTANCE FROM JEEP (TO INCLUDE WRITING A LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF JEEP) WITH AN APPALLING AND INSULTING RESPONSE. *LN

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE REFUELING VEHICLE AND THE AUTO SHUTOFF DEVICE CLICKED AND FUEL WAS BURPED OUT OF THE FILLER AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE BUMPER. IT DOES THIS ON ALL FLOW RATES. THIS IS AT GAS STATIONS THAT I USED FOR OTHER FILL UPS WITH NO SPILLS. IT IS HAPPENING AT EVERY FILL UP THAT HAS BEEN DONE AFTER MILEAGE HAS REACHED 50,000 MILES. *LN

WHEN REFUELING, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SPILLED OUT AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. WITHIN A SECOND OR 2 OF THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF GAS THEN FLOWED OUT OF THE TANK FILLER TUBE. IT SPLASHED ALL OVER MY PANTS AND SHOES ALONG WITH THE CAR ITSELF.

WHEN REFUELING THE GAS WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE PORT WHEN IT IS REACHING FULL BEFORE THE PUMP WILL KICK OFF. I HAVE GOTTEN GAS ON MY SHOES AND PANTS SEVERAL TIMES. IT HAS EVEN SPRAYED OUT SO BAD BEFORE THAT GAS GOT ON ANOTHER PERSON ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PUMP. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FILL UP WITHOUT SPILLING EVERYWHERE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TO 1/2 GALLON OF FUEL BACK FLOWS FORCEFULLY OUT OF FILLER NECK IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF THE HANDLE WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHEN THE HANDLE IS LOCKED DOWN IN FUELING POSITION AND AUTOMATICALLY CLICKS OFF AND WHEN I AM HOLDING THE HANDLE TO FILL THE TANK. AT NO TIME AM I ATTEMPTING TO OVERFILL THE TANK BEYOND THE SAFETY SHUT OFF.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, IT 'SPITS BACK' FUEL BEFORE SHUTTING OFF LEAVING GAS DRIPPING DOWN MY FENDERS AND ONTO THE GROUND. IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE TOO MUCH GAS BUT STILL LEAVES EVERYTHING WET WITH GAS INCLUDING THE GAS PUMP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN USING THE AUTO SHUT-OFF FEATURE OF THE PUMP. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN ON THE LOW SPEED SETTING. THIS STARTED AROUND 50K MILES AND CONTINUES NOW AT 55K MILES. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE A 2007 4DR JEEP WRANGLER NOT 4 WHEEL DRIVE. JUST RECENTLY HAS A PROBLEM STARTED ON MY JEEP. I WILL BE DRIVING AT 35-65MPH AND HIT A BUMP OR A SERIES OF SMALL BUMPS AND MY JEEP WILL BEGIN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND WILL NOT STOP UNLESS I IMMEDIATELY PULL OFF THE ROAD OR SLOW TO ABOUT 20MPH. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING TO WHICH THEY REPLIED I HOPE IT'S NOT THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. FROM WHAT THEY COULD SEE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AS FAR AS STEERING AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT JEEP DEALERSHIP TO GET FURTHER INFORMATION. I BEGAN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE VIA THE INTERNET AND IT IS COMMONLY KNOWN BY JEEP OWNERS AS A 'DEATH WOBBLE'. IN ALL CASES THEY HAVE HAD TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN AND GET OUT OF TRAFFICS WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL, IN SOME REPORTS READ IT HAS CAUSED WRECKS AND EVEN A BROKEN WRIST. I AM WRITING HOPING THAT THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY AN INVESTIGATION CAN BEGIN ON THE SUBJECT BECAUSE IT IS TERRIFYING WHEN THIS ISSUE BEGINS AND YOU ARE ON A HIGHWAY OR ANY BUSY ROAD. I BELIEVE THEIR NEEDS TO BE SOME KIND OF RECALL TO GET THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF IF IT IS A COMMONLY KNOWN DEFECT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING WITH GAS SPEWS OUT. ON JANUARY 10TH FLEW OUT SO BAD, MY WINTER COAT, PANTS, GLOVES AND SHOES WERE RUINED. BEEN ONGOING PROBLEM. HAS REPAIR ORDERS FROM DEALERSHIP. IN ADDITION, THE HARD TOP HAS LEAKED SINCE DAY ONE AND NEVER BEEN REPAIRED. I AM NOT DRIVING VEHICLE SINCE THE AWFUL SPILLAGE ON JANUARY 10TH. I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP RUINING CLOTHES. IN ADDITION, CONCERNED IT CAN CAUSE FURTHER PROBLEM (IE, PERHAPS FIRE). ALWAYS IN ATTENDANCE WHILE FILLING. SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL OTHER JEEP OWNERS EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR CHRYSLER TO CORRECT THIS DEFAULT, A DEATH, OR SEVERE INJURY. IF NOT WINTER TIME I FEEL I WOULD HAVE BEEN BURNED ON MY SKIN BY THE GASOLINE.
