SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
WHEN DRIVING MY 2007 4-DOOR JEEP WRANGLER ON THE INTERSTATE 4 WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THAT WHEN I HIT A HOLE IN THE ROAD OR A BUMP THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHOOK, CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE BACK AND FORTH CAUSING ME TO ALMOST SKIP LANES AND ALMOST HIT A SEMI TRUCK IN THE NEXT LANE. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM USED ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO (10,000 MILES AGO). I HAVE MADE 3 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST 4 WEEKS AND THE SHAKING HAS BECOME WORSE. THE LAST 2 DAYS WHILE DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK, I LITERALLY THOUGHT THAT THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS GOING TO COME OFF OR THAT THE FRAME WAS GOING TO BRAKE! I PULLED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE MANY TIMES ON MY 30 MILE TRIP AND DIDN'T DRIVE OVER 40MPH. I ASKED THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP TO DRIVE THE JEEP WITH ME ON THE INTERSTATE TODAY. HE SAID THAT HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG BUT IT FELT LIKE THE ENTIRE FRAME IS VIOLENTLY SHAKING. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AS I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL IT WHEN THIS OCCURS. I SHOULD MENTION 2 MORE THINGS...1. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP, NOT WHEN BOTH TIRES HIT AT THE SAME TIME, LIKE HITTING A POT HOLE WITH LEFT TIRE. 2. MANY OWNERS OF THIS EXACT MAKE AND MODEL ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ON-LINE AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE SITE WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO, DESPITE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY REPLACING PART AFTER PART CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE LACK OF TEMPERATURE CONTROL OF THE COOLING SYSTEM BUT CHRYSLER HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS DESIGN FLAW AND IT MUST BE ADDRESSED SOON. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I HAVE TO TRAVEL THE INTERSTATE TO GET TO WORK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I BOUGHT A USED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR WITH 34,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD FILED THE GAS TANK SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO HAVE IT BACKFLOW ON TO ME AND THE SIDE OF THE JEEP MAKING A REAL MESS AND CREATING A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. OF COURSE I BLAMED THE SERVICE STATION PUMP FOR NOT STOPPING IN TIME BUT THIS HAPPENS ON EVERY FILL UP WHEN TRYING TO FILL THE TANK FULL. THIS PROBLEM IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. MY WARRANTY IS UP 40,000 MILES AND I AM TOLD IT NEEDS A NEW GAS TANK TO REPAIR WHICH OF COURSE IS SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS OF REPAIR COST. THIS FAULTY PART DEMANDS A SAFETY RECALL BE IMPLEMENTED OR MAYBE A POSSIBLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL WILL OVERFLOW AND SPRAY OR RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF VEHICLE, ONTO THE BUMPER, FENDER FLARE, THEN SPLATTERS ON THE GROUND. WE HAVE LEARNED NOT TO STAND CLOSE THE VEHICLE SO WE DON'T HAVE FUEL SPLATTERED ON OUR PANTS AND SHOES. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN JULY '07 AND THIS PROBLEM DID NOT START HAPPENING UNTIL AUGUST THIS YEAR ' AT APPROXIMATE MILEAGE 39,500. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CHRYSLERS RECALL FOR THE TEMPERATURE WARNING ADDRESSED THE SYMPTOM NOT THE PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE STILL OVERHEATING IN THE WRANGLER. THE SOLUTION IS A $50 TRANSMISSION COOLER. THIS CAN HAPPEN BOTH WHEN OFF ROADING(WHICH THE WRANGLER IS BUILT FOR) BUT OTHERS IN OUR JEEP GROUP HAVE HAD THE SITUATION HAPPEN ON ROAD. MY SITUATION HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON APPROXIMATELY A 20% GRADE ON A DIRT ROAD AT 20 MPH---HOT OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS FORCED TO STOP DRIVING TO ALLOW COOLING---LATER FOUND OUT FROM THE JK-FORUM ONLINE JEEP GROUP THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON AND THAT DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT CORRECTING WITH TRANSMISSION COOLER...BUT IT IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO YOURSELF IF YOU HAVE SOME MECHANIC SKILLS. THE ISSUES IS...IF YOU ADD THE COOLER CHRYSLER CAN VOID YOU WARRANTY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS I SAID THEIR RECALL UNDER YOUR NUMBER 09V436000 ADDRESSED THE SYMPTOM BUT DID NOT SOLVER THE REAL ISSUE---[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X HAS HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH FUEL SPILLING FROM THE FUEL TANK NOZZLE DURING FILL-UPS. WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF, FUEL GUSHED FROM THE FILLER TUBE AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE FENDER AND BUMPER NEAR THE FILL NOZZLE ARE NOW DISCOLORED DUE TO THE SITUATION. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS, AND THEY REPLACED THE GAS TANK. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. EVERY FILL UP, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED THAT AT SOME POINT, THE FUEL WILL HIT A HOT AREA AND IGNITE. I SEE THAT A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE HAVE BEEN FILED (PE10032). PLEASE ADDRESS IT!!!! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE FILLING UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED WITH GAS, THE GAS SEEMS TO OVERFILL AND SPIT BACK OUT OF THE FUEL FILL NECK. THIS OCCURS AT DIFFERENT PUMPS WITH NO APPARENT CONSISTENT FACTORS. WHEN THE TANK GETS FULL AND THE PUMP CLICKS OFF ALL OF A SUDDEN ABOUT A HALF A GALLON OF GAS, OR MORE, SPITS BACK OUT OF THE NECK ONTO ME, THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME I TRY TO COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK. NOW I HAVE ADAPTED MY FILL UP STRATEGY AND FILL ONLY TO WHAT I THINK IS NEAR FULL AND NOT LET IT CLICK. DEALERSHIP SAYS NOTHING CAN BE DONE FOR FREE WITHOUT A RECALL. *TR

WHEN THE TANK GETS FULL AND THE PUMP CLICKS OFF ALL OF A SUDDEN ABOUT A HALF A GALLON OF GAS, OR MORE, SPITS BACK OUT OF THE NECK ONTO ME, THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME, I WOULD SAY 2 OR 3 OUT OF EVERY 10 TIMES. NOW I HAVE ADAPTED MY FILL UP STRATEGY AND FILL ONLY TO WHAT I THINK IS NEAR FULL AND NOT LET IT CLICK, BUT THIS STILL SEEMS DANGEROUS TO ME. NO OTHER FIX IS KNOWN FOR THIS CONDITION. *TR

I NOW TURN THE KEY TO ACCESSORY POSITION WHILE PUMPING GAS SO THAT I CAN WATCH THE GAUGE AND STOP PUMPING BEFORE IT REACHES FULL. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 SAFARI WITH ESP (ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM). ESP INTERMITTENTLY TURNS ON BY ITSELF AND CAN'T BE TURNED OFF. IT WILL EVENTUALLY TURN ITSELF OFF. DEALER TELLS ME IT'S CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN, WHICH ALSO CONTROLS THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG, CRUISE CONTROL AND THE HORN! I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, IF ANY OF THESE DEVICES QUIT WORKING, BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING!!!! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 FROM A DEALER. THE PAST HANDFUL OF TIMES WE HAVE FILLED THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, GAS HAS SPRAYED OUT ALL OVER THE CAR, GROUND AND MYSELF. I AM NOT TOPPING OFF THE VEHICLE - I AM FILLING UP TO THE POINT OF WHEN THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY STOPS. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME TYPE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS. *TR
