FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DURING REFUELING, THE GAS WOULD OVER FLOW WHEN THE PUMP TURNED OFF. IT APPEARED TO BE ABOUT A PINT OR TWO OF GAS EACH TIME. I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE WHEN I USED SEVERAL DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND BRANDS OF GAS. UPON CONTACTING CHRYSLER, THEY SEEM TO THINK IT IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, HOWEVER, A QUICK SEARCH OF JEEPFORUMS.COM AND YOUTUBE SHOW THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. THERE WAS NO ATTEMPT BY CHRYSLER TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY, HOWEVER, THEY OFFERED TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR OUT OF "GOODWILL". THE VEHICLE, A 2007 WRANGLER X UNLIMITED, IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING REPAIRS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED AND AROUND 37K MILES FUEL STARTED TO SPILL OUT AT FILL-UPS. THIS HAPPENS IF I FILL MANUALLY OR IF I TRY AND LET THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY CUT OFF. I BOUGHT MY JEEP USED IN 2008 BUT IT ONLY HAD 4K MILES ON IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND HOPE I CAN GET SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO IT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILLER NECK EVERYTIME I FILL THE GAS TANK. USUALLY ABOUT 8-16 OUNCES OF FUEL SPILLS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND NEXT TO THE VEHICLE. ENVIRONMENTAL AS WELL AS A FIRE SAFETY HAZARD. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO FACTORY DEALER FOR THE PROBLEM AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THE GAS TANK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN TRYING TO DO A COMPLETE FILL-UP OF FUEL, THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AS IT SHOULD, AND THEN A MODERATE AMOUNT OF FUEL WILL "BURP" OUT OF THE OPENING. IT SPILLS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON TO THE GROUND. UNSAFE, UNPLEASANT, AND ENVIRONMENTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM. THE JEEP HAD NO ISSUES FOR OVER TWO YEARS, SINCE FALL OF 2009 IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING, WILL DO IT EVERYTIME I DO A FULL FILL-UP, NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I USE. I NO LONGER DO FULL FILL-UPS AS A RESULT, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO PROPERLY TRACK FUEL ECONOMY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL OVERFLOWS WHENEVER PUMP IS LEFT ON "FILL." THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE. FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY CAN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM. I NOW JUST ADD A FEW DOLLARS WORTH OF GAS AT A TIME SO I KNOW IT WON'T HIT THE SHUT OFF POINT & OVERFLOW. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
SIXTH OCCURRENCE OF PROBLEM: WHEN IN FIRST GEAR, THE GEAR BANGS AND LOCKS-UP. THIS NORMALLY OCCURS WHEN JUST STARTING ACROSS AN INTERSECTION AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AS ANOTHER VEHICLE COULD REAR-END ME OR SIDE HIT ME IF I WERE MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS AN INTERSECTION. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP CANNOT DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM WHEN IN FOR SERVICE. I HAVE RESEARCHED OTHER JEEP WRANGLER VEHICLE OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM REPORTED, AND THE ONLY FIX WAS A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. OTHER ODI BY ME 1030673(2/5/2010); 10310930(2/16/2010); 10310938(2/16/2010). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE TANK UP WITH GAS, WHETHER COMPLETELY FULL OR NOT, GAS STARTS BLOWING BACK OUT OF THE TANK... AT LEAST ONE TO TWO CUPS OF GAS. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH GAS STATION YOU GO TO. IT STARTED HAPPENING A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND HAD GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. NOW IT OCCURS AT EVERY FILL UP. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLEANED A GAS VENT, AND THAT FIXED IT TEMPORARILY, BUT NOW IT IS WORSE THAN BEFORE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
IN THE NOVEMBER 2010 ISSUE OF CONSUMER REPORTS, PAGE 15, THEY IS AN ARTICLE ABOUT A RECALL ON '07-'08 JEEP WRANGLERS " - FAULTY TRANSMISSION FLUID-TEMPERATURE WARNING SYSTEM NOT WORKING; COULD CAUSE FIRE WHEN BOIL OVER COOURS." I CALLED CHRYSLER AT 1-800-653-1403 AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY KNEW OF NO RECALL OF THIS NATURE AND THAT IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN, THEN I SHOULD CALL THEM. I EXPLAINED THAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED, IT WOULD BE TOO LATE, ACCORDING TO THIS ARTICLE, MY CAR WOULD BE ON FIRE. THEY STILL SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, THERE WAS NO RECALL. ALSO, THE 3 DIGET PREFIX NUMBER GIVEN IN CONSUMER REPORT ISSUE WAS TRANSPOSED, IT IS 853 NOT 835.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER HAS HAD ENGINE STALL TWO TIMES NOW AT 50-60 MPH. CAUSING LIGHT FAILURE, ENGINE FAILURE, NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES, AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS, THEY SAID CALL A TOW TRUCK AND HAVE IT TOWED TO THEM. THIS STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 26,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 30,000. BOTH TIMES NOTHING WAS FOUND AND THE COMPUTER PROGRAMS WERE CURRENT. *TR
