I'VE ENCOUNTERED THE TERM OF THE DEATH WOBBLE IN THE JEEP I PURCHASED. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS SOME KIND OF RECALL ON THESE TYPES OF VEHICLES. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE JEEP AND HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT MUCH. TRYING TO FIX PROBLEMS BUT IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TURNED MY JEEP ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SENTRY KEY LIGHT, FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND FUEL GAUGE WENT TO 0, JEEP RAN FOR APPROX 30SEC AND SHUT OFF. FUSES WERE CHECKED, NOTHING FOUND OUT OF PLACE. TRIED IT AGAIN, SAME THING HAPPENED. WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP TO CHECK AND FIX. WAS INFORMED THAT THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS NEAR AN O2 SENSOR WAS "FRIED" AND THAT WIRES WERE FUSED AND MELTED TOGETHER. GRANTED, MY JEEP IS 9 YEARS OLD, BUT THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE, NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. WHY WOULD WIRING BE PLACED CLOSE ENOUGH TO A HEAT SOURCE TO WHERE IT'S ABLE TO CATCH FIRE AND FUSE TOGETHER? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE FUELING MY JEEP, FUEL CAME SPEWING FROM THE FILLER NECK BEFORE THE PUMP SHUT OFF. THIS CAUSED APPROXIMATELY 1/8 GALLON OF FUEL TO SPILL ON MY VEHICLE AND MYSELF. WHILE DRIVING AFTER THIS INCIDENT I HAD TO PULL OVER AND GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE AS I WAS BECOMING DISORIENTED FROM EXPOSURE TO THE FUEL/FUEL VAPORS THAT SPILLED ON ME. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO REALIZE QUICKLY THAT MY LEVEL OF ALERTNESS WAS DETERIORATING AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, ROLL DOWN MY WINDOWS, AND ALLOW THE FUMES TO DISSIPATE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY CONCERN THAT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF NOT ADDRESSED AND FIXED QUICKLY. *TR
