ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY COMPLAINT AND WARNING HAS TO DO WITH OUR 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED,SARAHA, 3.8 LITRE. WE HAD A PRE-MATURE ENGINE FAILURE IN OUR JEEP DUE TO IMPROPER ENGINE ASSEMBLY DURING MANUFACTURE OF THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE FOR THE ENGINE OIL BY-PASS VALVE BEING INSTALLED IN THE WRONG ORDER, CAUSING THE ENGINES OIL BEING ONLY PARTIALLY FILTERED. THIS NON-FILTERED OIL CAUSED THE ENGINE TO FAIL DUE TO THE DIRTY OIL PASSING THROUGH THE ENGINE AND CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR OF THE ENGINE. OUR ENGINE FAILED AT JUST OVER 43,000 MILES AND THE FAILURE COULD BE SUDDEN AND PUT ANYONE THAT HAS THIS ENGINE CONDITION AT RISK IF THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHILE THE FAILURE OCCURS. I WANT TO BE ON RECORD BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO BE INJURED OR WORSE LOSE THERE LIFE OVER SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS WARNING THE PUBLIC OF THIS ISSUE FOUND IN OUR ENGINE, AND ALSO TO BE ON RECORD BECAUSE WHO KNOWS HOW MANY ENGINE WERE ASSEMBLED THIS WAY WHICH IN MY MIND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. TOTAL DETAILS, COST AND THE FULL EXTENT OF DAMAGED CAN BE EXTENDED TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS OR WANTS THIS INFORMATION, IF REQUESTED IN WRITING OR EMAIL. *TR

THE OVERFLOW OUT THE FILLER TUBE OR THE SLOW RATE OF FILL (ODI # 10368063) SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING AT EVERY FILLUP NOW THAT I HAVE PAST 50,000 MILES ON THE SPEEDOMETER. THIS IS HAPPENING AT GAS STATIONS THAT I COMMONLY USE IN MY AREA AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FOR THE PAST TWO WINTERS, EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER, IF I ALLOW THE PUMP TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF, FUEL BLOWS OUT THE FILLER AND GETS ALL OVER THE JEEP, THE GROUND, ME AND SOMETIMES THE PUMP. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IF I SHUT OFF THE PUMP MANUALLY WELL BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS FULL. I SHOULD ALSO NOTE THAT THERE IS A LAG BETWEEN THE TIME THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND THE TIME THE SPILL OCCURS OF APPROXIMATELY 2-3 SECONDS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN I REFUEL THE VEHICLE AND THE FUEL PUMP KICKS OFF THE GAS SPILLS BACK OUT OF THE VEHICLE. NOT JUST A LITTLE AMOUNT EITHER. IT LEAVES A GOOD SIZE PUDDLE THAT I HAVE TO GO IN A NOTIFY THE STORE. NOT TO MENTION THAT IT COVERS MY SHOES, HANDS, AND SOME TIMES CLOTHES. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN MY FUEL TANK IS VERY EMPTY. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE FILLING FUEL TANK, AT ALMOST FULL OR FULL TANK, PUMP WILL SHUT OFF OR AUTO STOP, AND THEN FUEL WILL START TO SHOOT BACK OUT OF GAS FILLER AS ALMOST UNDER PRESSURE. SOMETIMES IT'S A FEW DROPS, BUT MORE OFTEN IT IS A LOT. IF YOUR NEARBY YOU WILL GET COVERED IN GAS, HAPPENS 4 OUT OF 5 TIMES WHILE FILLING UP NOW. I FEEL THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS MY JEEP AND ANYONE NEAR IT DURING FILL UP CAN END UP COVERED IN GAS

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, AND THE FRONT END BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I STARTED PULLING OVER AND WHEN I GOT DOWN TO 35 MPH, THE SHAKING STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITHOUT INCIDENCE, AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY. THIS WAS A STOCK JEEP BOUGHT NEW WITHOUT ANY AFTER-MARKET ALTERATIONS WITH ONLY 52K MILES. I TOOK IT INTO MIDAS, AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW STEERING STABILIZER. THEY REPLACED IT, AND IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC, AND THEY REPLACED TRACKBAR, BUT IT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK TO MIDAS, AND THEY PUT ANOTHER NEW STABILIZER, STILL HAD THE PROBLEM WITH EVER-INCREASING FREQUENCY. I PUT NEW TIRES ON THE CAR, AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT 20K MILES. AT 73K, THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. THIS TIME I TOOK IT THE JEEP DEALER. THEY KNEW WHAT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WAS, AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK EVERYTHING. THEY REPORTED BACK THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE COMPONENTS, AND SUGGESTED I GET THE TIRES BALANCED AGAIN. I GOT THE TIRES BALANCED AND TOOK IT BACK A WEEK LATER TO THE DEALER AS THE PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING WITH MORE FREQUENCY, AND NOW WAS OCCURRING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 45-55 MPH. I SUGGESTED A PARTICULAR PATCH OF HIGHWAY FOR A TEST DRIVE. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID, "THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG." THEY THEN WORKED WITH CHRYSLER TO IDENTIFY AND "SOLVE" THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE TIRE RODS AND JOINTS. THREE DAYS LATER I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM AGAIN, AND THEN AGAIN, AND AGAIN. I HAVE SPENT APPROXIMATELY $1400 TO "FIX" THIS PROBLEM, AND IT CONTINUES TO PERSIST. DO AN ONLINE SEARCH OF "DEATH WOBBLE" AND YOU'LL FIND ENTRY AFTER ENTRY AND EVEN VIDEOS. I'M REALLY WORRIED THAT ONE OF THESE TIMES WHEN I AND FORCED TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN AND HEAD TO THE SHOULDER, I'M GOING TO END UP REAR ENDED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER.
