STEERING
WE HAVE A 2007 MODEL JEEP WRANGLER. WE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STEERING DAMPENER. IT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON SEVERAL MODELS EXCEPT THIS ONE. WE ARE HAVING TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE WE HAVE THE "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE". I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAY THAT THEY HAVEN'T RECALLED IT ON THIS MODEL YET WHEN WE WENT TO REPLACE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP, YOU CANNOT PURCHASE THE ORIGINAL. YOU CAN ONLY PURCHASE THE NEW ONE WHICH REQUIRES ALL NEW BRACKETS FOR INSTALLATION. WE HAVE 2 FRIENDS THAT HAVE THE SAME MODEL JEEP THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. MY HUSBAND WAS NEARLY HIT HEAD ON BY A SEMI BECAUSE WHEN THE WOBBLE STARTS IT SHAKES THE ENTIRE FRONT END AND YOU MUST SLAM ON YOUR BRAKES TO MAKE IT STOP. WHEN HE DID THIS IT THREW HIM INTO THE OTHER LANE ALMOST HITTING THE SEMI TRUCK. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED?? *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE IF IT HITS A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS VIOLENT SHAKING IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AND THERE ARE COUNTLESS DOCUMENTED INSTANCES OF THIS IN TESTIMONIAL AND VIDEO FORM ON THE INTERNET. THIS VIOLENT SHAKING HAS OCCURRED 6 TIMES, ALL AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 45-65 MPH. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND WILL NOT FIX IT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE JEEP IS OUT OF CONTROL UNTIL IT COMES TO A STOP. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
1. DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH THE FRONT SUSPENSION WILL SOMETIMES GO INTO A VIOLENT OSCILLATION. THE STEERING WHEEL, SHIMMIES SO VIOLENTLY THAT IT CANNOT BE CONTROLLED. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT IS COMING APART. NOT A SIMPLE WHEEL BALANCE SHIMMY, THIS IS A DANGEROUS VIOLENT OSCILLATION. 2. IT GETS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. 3. IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER WHICH MADE THE PROBLEM BETTER, BUT IT CAME BACK SLIGHTLY, AND PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE, AND WORSE. THERE IS SOME UNDERLYING PROBLEM THAT THE STEERING STABILIZER IS MASKING. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER VIOLENTLY POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR. HAPPENS DAILY AND WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A ACCIDENT. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. I WAS ALMOST REARENDED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, NO MATTER HOW SLOW I DO IT, THERE IS AN OVERFLOW AND IN A COUPLE CASES A FORCIBLE SPLASH. IT WAS SO FORCIBLE THIS WEEKEND THAT MY PANTS AND SHOES WERE SOAKED. I HAVE READ ON A JEEP FORUM THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A NUMBER OF OWNERS OF THE JEEP WRANGLERS. THERE ARE EVEN A NUMBER OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS DOCUMENTING THE SITUATION. AT THE VERY LEAST THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE BUT IT COULD ESCALATE INTO SOMETHING FAR MORE DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS THAT OVERFLOWS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH 56,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN APRIL OF 2007. THE PROBLEM IS OVERFLOWING GAS WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED. ONCE THE TANK IS FILLED COMPLETELY, THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AND THE FUEL TANK THEN "BURPS" ABOUT 1 PINT OF FUEL OUT. AT TIMES, THE FUEL COMES OUT VIGOROUSLY IN A SPRAY MAKING IT EVEN MORE FLAMMABLE AND COVERING ME AND THE VEHICLE. I HAVE GONE TO MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SINCE AND HAVE THE PROBLEM EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. THE PROBLEM ALSO OCCURS WHEN I HOLD THE PUMP AND TRY TO LIMIT THE FUEL FLOW. PER THE DEALERSHIP'S RECOMMENDATION, I HAVE REPLACED THE VEHICLE'S EVAPORATION CANISTER, BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, I WAS FILLING UP MY 2007 4 DOOR JEEP WRANGLER WITH GAS. THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE SHUT OFF GAS COME POURING OUT OF THE JEEP. IT SPLASHED ALL OVER ME AND PUDDLED ON THE GROUND. I THOUGHT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE GAS PUMP AND COMPLAINED TO THE STATION ATTENDANT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT THE NEXT FILL UP AND HAS AT EVERY FILL UP SINCE IF I DON'T CATCH IT FIRST. IT'S NOT THE GAS PUMP BECAUSE I'VE USED SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE GAS FROM SPURTING OUT OF THE JEEP IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY FULL. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DISTRESSING AND CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH GAS PUDDLING ON THE GROUND AND SPLASHING ON ME AND THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK INTO THE DEFECT, HE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS. APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH A FLAP INSIDE THE GAS TANK THAT BECOMES DEFECTIVE AND ALLOWS THE AIR INSIDE THE TANK TO PUSH GAS OUT THE NECK UPON FILLING THE TANK. MY MECHANIC IS CURRENTLY GETTING READY TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. *TR
