FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON 2-DOOR AND EVERY TIME I FILL GASOLINE IT SPEWS OUT EVERYWHERE AND THIS DOES NOT MATTER HOW FAST THE FLOW OF GAS IS OR AT WHAT DEPTH THE PUMP HANDLE IS. IT IS ENOUGH GAS TO COME UP AND OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE RUN DOWN MY REAR QUARTER PANEL AND MAKE A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. NOT A SAFE SITUATION WITH THE UNCONTROLLABLE DISCHARGE OF A HIGHLY FLAMMABLE LIQUID. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING 70 MPH OR MORE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE FRONT END SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL MOMENTARILY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE SHOCK ABSORBER AND THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD SEND A SPECIALIST TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY '07 JEEP WRANGLER JK BEGAN TO OVERFLOW FUEL AT NEARLY EVERY FILL UP. THIS STARTED IN APPROXIMATELY NOVEMBER '10 WITH ABOUT 38,000 MILES ON THE JEEP. AT TIMES THE GAS WILL SPEW OUT WITH SIGNIFICANT FORCE, CREATING A SERIOUS HAZARD. OTHER TIMES IT POURS OUT RIGHT PAST THE FILLER HANDLE AND POURS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. IT HAS DONE THIS EVEN AFTER I HAVE TRIED TO RELIEVE SOME OF THE PRESSURE IN THE GAS TANK BY STOPPING THE PUMP, REMOVING HANDLE FROM FILLER NECK, THEN RE-INSERTING TO RESUME FUELING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I AM AWARE THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE NEW WRANGLER JK HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE REFUELING MY VEHICLE, THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF IN TIME TO PREVENT AN OVERFLOW AND SPILL OF GASOLINE ONTO MY PERSON AND THE GROUND. THIS WILL HAPPEN EVERYTIME I FILL UP.. THE ONLY COMPENSATOR ACTION I HAVE TAKEN THUS FAR IS TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT IS NEEDED FOR A FILL UP AND MAKE SURE I STOP REFUELING APPROXIMATELY 1 GALLON AHEAD OF THIS POINT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
6 MONTHS PRIOR, VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY NOT START. NOTICED CORROSION ON BATTERY, CLEANED AND REPLACED CONNECTION PARTS. IT WORKED FINE UNTIL TODAY. POWER LOCKS WENT OUT. CHECKED FUSE, WAS BLOWN. NOTICED MORE CORROSION ON BATTERY ON OPPOSITE SIDE THIS TIME. TRIED REPLACING FUSE AND IT BLEW AS WE WERE REPLACING IT (SPARKS COMING OUT OF CONNECTION, MELTING A PRONG). CLEANED OFF BATTERY CORROSION AND GOT ABSOLUTELY NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHEN TRIED TO START IT. CLEANED IN BETWEEN BATTERY/WIRE CONNECTIONS AND WHEN REASSEMBLING THE HORN, WIPERS, COOLANT FAN, AND LIGHTS WOULD RANDOMLY GO ON & OFF. VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY HAVE POWER TO START, THEN WOULD NOT WORK AGAIN. ENDED UP TOWING IT TO DEALER, WITHOUT POWER. CURRENTLY WAITING FOR DIAGNOSIS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND I WAS IN THE PASSENGER. IT WAS 10PM AND WE WERE DRIVING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 45MPH WHEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP AND THEN THE SHUT DOWN( EVERYTHING SHUT OFF ( LIGHTS,POWER STEERING,ETC) AFTER ABOUT 2 SECONDS THE JEEP CAME TO LIFE ( WE DID NOTHING TO RESTART IT).WE STARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN AND AFTER ABOUT 5 SECONDS IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. MY HUSBAND PULLED THE STEERING WHEEL AS HARD AS HE COULD TO PULL US OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A PARKING LOT. WE ROLLED TO A STOP MY HUSBAND GOT OUT AND OPENED THE HOOD AND JUST THEN THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND HE CLOSED THE HOOD GOT IN AND TURNED THE KEY AND THE ENGINE STARTED AND WE DROVE HOME. I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH 4 CHILDREN. *LN

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON, GAS WILL OVERFLOW WHEN THE PUMPS SHUTS OFF. THE FIRST FEW TIMES, THE OVERFLOW WAS A NOMINAL SPILL. AFTER THE 4TH OR 5TH TIME THIS OCCURRED, THE OVERFLOW AMOUNT IS NOW A LARGE GUSH OF 1/2 TO 1 GALLON SPILLING BROADLY ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND IN A FAIRLY WIDE RANGE AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER CLAIMS THE PROBLEM IS NOT IN THEIR DESIGN, YET A FUEL TANK IS NOT AVAILABLE -- IS ON BACK ORDER FROM SUPPLIER. BASED ON A SIMPLE REVIEW OF COMPLAINTS, IT APPEARS THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM UNIQUE ONLY TO MY VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT BEING SPLASHED WITH GASOLINE, OR HAVING GASOLINE SPLASH OUT AND IGNITE AT A GAS STATION. *TR

AIR BAGS
ON MARCH 3, 2009, MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I SLOWED TO MAKE A TURN, IT WOULD DING AT ME AND GO OFF AND THEN ON. WHEN I'M DROVE NORMALLY, AND USUALLY STRAIGHT, THE LIGHT JUST STAYED ON WITH NO DING. THROUGH RESEARCH, I'VE COME TO FIND THAT MY CLOCKSPRING WAS FAULTY AND MAY NOT DEPLOY MY AIRBAG IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THIS FIXED THROUGH CHRYSLER. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. NOW, ON JAN. 15, 2011 WITH 103,769 MILES, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND DID THE SAME THING AS PREVIOUSLY. I WENT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT, ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME, AGAIN, IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN. CONSIDERING THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND I HAD TO PAY BOTH TIMES. IF I DIDN'T GET THIS FIXED, AND I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT, MY AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

FILLING THE FUEL TANK TILL THE PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY WILL RESULT IN A FUEL SPILL. THIS CONDITION HAS EXISTING SINCE NEW. RATE OF OCCURRENCE IS APPROXIMATELY 8 OUT OF 10 FILLINGS. RESULTING SPILL IS SUFFICIENT TO WET THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, LEFT END OF REAR BUMPER, AND THE GROUND BELOW THE FILL PORT. SPILL QUANTITY ESTIMATED AT APPROXIMATELY 8 - 10 OUNCES OF FUEL EACH OCCURRENCE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2007 JEEP WRANGLER - EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, SINCE ROUGHLY 10,000 MILES (NOW AT 63,000) THE AUTO SHUT OFF FEATURE OF GAS PUMPS WILL NOT SHUT OFF IN TIME. THIS CAUSES ROUGHLY 1/4 GALLON OF FUEL TO SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING SITUATION FOR A COUPLE YEARS. I CANNOT RELY ON THE AUTO-SHUT OFF OF THE PUMP WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS, SINCE THE NEW MODEL FROM 2007. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY WERE DENIED BY DEALERSHIPS. I AM FINALLY SCHEDULED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK (A KNOWN FIX FOR THE ISSUE); BUT WILL BE PAYING FOR IT OUT OF POCKET, AS THE WARRANTY HAS SINCE EXPIRED. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE PUMP IS ON SLOW, FAST, OR I AM MANUALLY PUMPING IT. I'VE TRIED DIFFERENT STATIONS, SOME FLAT, SOME ANGLED, NOTHING HELPS. I JUST SPILL GASOLINE ALL OVER THE FLOOR AND SOMETIMES MYSELF. *TR
