POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
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 I COULD BE HIT WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS AN INTERSECTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES TO ME NOW. THE LATEST TIME WAS TODAY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND OTHER JEEP WRANGLER 6-SPEED OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH LITTLE HELP AT LOCAL DEALERSHIPS. I HAD THIS AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON 1/25/10 AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM AT 17,936 MILEAGE. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED ON 1/18/2010. OTHER DRIVERS HAVE INDICATED THE ONLY FIX FOR THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN A TOTAL TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. PROBLEM CONTINUES AND NO FIX BECAUSE DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPLICATE PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS INCLUDING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD ALTHOUGH THE RPMS CONTINUED TO INCREASE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN I FILL MY GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS OUT OF THE GAS TANK REGULARLY. SO I WAIT UNTIL THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES UP BEFORE REFILLING. I KNOW MY TANK HOLDS APPROX. 19 GALLONS SO WHEN I'M FILLING UP, I HAVE TO STOP THE PUMP AT 16 GALLONS AND THEN SLOWLY SQUEEZE THE HANDLE UP TO ABOUT 18 GALLONS. EVEN THEN SOMETIMES THIS STILL CAUSES THE FUEL TO OVERFLOW AND SPILL ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFFS ON THE NOZZLES NEVER KICK IN. I'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. I KNOW THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AS TWO OF MY PERSONAL FRIENDS HAVE SIMILAR VEHICLES TO MINE AND WE HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. IN FACT, ON JEEP WRANGLER 2007-2010 MESSAGE FORUMS, THE ISSUE APPEARS TO HAPPENING VERY OFTEN TO OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA WITH 56,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER OF 2009 USED. THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, I WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL THE TANK. I PLACED THE NOZZLE IN THE FILLER TUBE AND SET THE PUMP TO AUTO FILL. ONCE THE TANK WAS FILLED COMPLETELY, THE PUMP CLICKED OFF AND THE FUEL TANK THEN "BURPED" 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. HERE IS A VIDEO OF THE ISSUE (NOT MY JEEP) HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=ZOUVOKEOLO8 THERE ARE HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE ONLY DEALER RECOMMEND FIX IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK WHICH IS A COSTLY REPAIR FOR WHAT I FELL IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, AUTO SHUT OFF NO LONGER PREVENTS FUEL SPILLING WHEN TANK IS FULL. NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY, BUT APPROXIMATELY 1/2 QUART OF FUEL IS SPILLED ONTO THE BODY, FENDER FLARE, BUMPER, AND GROUND. OCCURS AT EVERY FUEL FILL-UP SINCE REACHING 46,000 MILES (48,000 NOW, SO APPROXIMATELY 10 OCCURRENCES). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK SAHARA - EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, THE PUMP WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF UNTIL THE GAS OVERFLOWS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH QUITE A FEW OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND THEY ARE ALL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE THAT IS SPILLED ONTO THE GROUND AND COULD LEAD TO A FIRE. THE DEALER INDICATES THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK AT MY EXPENSE. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS FACT DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND AFFECTS OTHER OWNERS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. *TR
