STEERING, WHEELS, SUSPENSION
2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED - FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT OR ABOVE 55 MPH AFTER HITTING SMALL BUMP IN ROAD. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY, FEELS LIKE WHEELS ARE GOIGN TO FALL OFF OR CAR WILL FLIP OVER - COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL UNLESS YOU SLOW DOWN TO 35MPH - WHICH IS NOT EASY TO DO ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. THIS OCCURS ALMOST DAILY. TO DATE WE HAVE REPLACED THE TRACK BAR, REPLACED THE TIRES, HAD THE VEHICLE RE-ALLIGNED AND TIRES BALANCED. NEXT STEP IS TO REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER. SO FAR NO PERMANENT FIXES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FACTORY RADIO IN 2007 JEEP WRANGLER BEGAN OVERHEATING DURING THE SUMMER OF 2009. OVERHEATING WAS CAUSING EXTREMELY LOUD POPPING NOISE TO BE BROADCAST OVER ALL SPEAKERS IN VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND INSPECTED, RADIO WAS REPLACED. PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE FIXED HOWEVER; THE WEATHER TEMPERATURE HAD COOLED BY THAT TIME SO IT WAS UNCLEAR AS TO WHETHER THE SITUATION HAD BEEN ALLEVIATED. IN OCTOBER 2009 THE PROBLEM BEGAN OCCURRING ONCE AGAIN, THIS TIME WHEN THE DEFROST AND HEAT WAS TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AGAIN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE HEAT FROM THE DEFROST AND THE HEATER WAS CAUSING THE RADIO TO BECOME EXTREMELY HOT. THE POPPING NOISE WAS DUE TO THIS OVERHEATING PROCESS THAT WAS OCCURRING. CHRYSLER CORPORATION WAS NOTIFIED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED HOWEVER THEY STATE THAT THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION AT PRESENT AND THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ENOUGH INSTANCES TO WARRANT A RECALL. THEY HAVE OFFERED NO REMEDIES OTHER THAN EMPTY APOLOGIES. WE ARE AFRAID TO TURN ON THE RADIO IN THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR THAT IT WILL CAUSE A FIRE. THE DEALER STATES THAT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN. FURTHERMORE THE POPPING POSES A HAZARD IF IT OCCURS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AS IT IS SO SUDDEN AND SO INCREDIBLY LOUD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED AT AROUND 50K MILES. WHEN FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION ON A TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS. WHEN THE AUTO SHUTOFF AT THE PUMPED CLICKED OFF THE GAS CAME SPEWING OUT OF THE FILE HOLE. I CONSIDERED IT A ONE TIME FLUKE AND THAT POSSIBLY THE GAS PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE. AS TIME WENT ON IT DID NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I WENT TO THE PROBLEM OCCURRED MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. NOW THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID AN OVERFLOW IS TO STOP FILLING AT AROUND 15 GALLONS AND SLOWLY TOP OFF THE TANK BY CAREFULLY LISTENING FOR THE FUEL LEVEL AND EASING THE FUEL INTO THE TANK. MY CONCERN IS THE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLING OUT ON THE PAVEMENT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ONE SPARK COULD BE DISASTROUS FOR MYSELF OF SOMEONE WHO FOLLOWS ME AT THE PUMP. I HAVE READ WHERE MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL ARE EXPERIENCING A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
STARTING ABOUT 12-15 GAS FILL-UPS AGO, MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4X4 RUBICON STARTED TO EJECT FUEL OUT OF THE GAS FILLER TUBE ABOUT A SECOND AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. I HAVE NOT CHANGED ANY PROCEDURE DURING FILL-UPS AND HAVE USED THE SAME GAS PUMPS AND GAS STATIONS FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS -- THIS STARTED OUT OF THE BLUE. WHEN THE GAS OVERFLOWS, IT EJECTS WITH ENOUGH PRESSURE TO COVER THE GAS CAP HANGING BELOW WITH GAS, AND SATURATES THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND BUMPER, DROPPING A GOOD AMOUNT OF GAS ON THE GROUND (PROBABLY ABOUT A 2.5 - 3 FOOT RADIUS OF A PUDDLE). THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, MY HAND WAS COVERED IN GAS, AND I ESTIMATE ABOUT A HALF GALLON OF GAS WAS EJECTED. IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME DURING A FILL-UP UNLESS I STOP THE GAS PUMP BEFORE THE TANK IS CLOSE TO FULL. I HAVE LISTENED ATTENTIVELY DURING A FEW FILL-UPS, AND HAVE SHUT OFF THE PUMP ONCE I HEAR A CHANGE IN SOUND THAT THE TANK IS NEAR FULL -- AND THIS STILL RESULTS IN FUEL EJECTING FROM THE FILLER TUBE, BUT JUST NOT AS MUCH. I CAN NO LONGER RELY ON THE PUMP AUTO SHUT OFF EVEN AT LOW FILLING SPEEDS, AND I CAN NO LONGER FILL THE TANK TO IT'S PREVIOUSLY NORMALLY FULL CAPACITY. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS, NOT ONLY TO ME AND MY PASSENGERS, BUT THE OTHER PATRONS AROUND ME -- NOT TO MENTION THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE GAS SPILLS. THERE ARE NO KNOWN FIXES, AND IT APPEARS, ACCORDING TO JEEP FORUMS, THAT THIS IS BECOMING A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, WITH THE LATEST UPDATES THAT CHRYSLER COMPLETELY REPLACING GAS TANKS ONLY UNDER WARRANTY, AND WITH NO APPARENT UPDATES TO KEEP IT FROM OCCURRING AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. MY JEEP HAS JUST COME OUT OF WARRANTY AROUND THE END OF SEPTEMBER, DUE TO MILEAGE. I NOW HAVE 40,000 MILES ON THE JEEP, AND I ESTIMATE THIS STARTED AT ABOUT 35,000 MILES. *TR

SUSPENSION
JEEP 07 WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED FOUR DOOR. FRONT TRACK BAR BRACKET FAILURE. THE METAL IS VERY THIN AND VERY POORLY WELDED, ON THE OUTSIDE ONLY. THIS LEADS TO WEAKNESS AND FAILURE, PARTICULARLY UNDER HIGH STRESS DRIVING MANEUVERS SUCH AS HEAVY BRAKING ON A DOWNHILL CORNER, DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE, HITTING POTHOLES OR SPEED BUMPS. ONCE SEPARATED, THE FRONT AXLE THEN FOLLOWS WHATEVER GROOVE EXERTS THE MOST FORCE, CREATING A DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK USING THE AUTO SHUT-OFF FEATURE OF THE GAS PUMP, NOT TOPPING OFF, THE GAS GUSHES OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. EVERY SINGLE TIME SINCE ABOUT 35000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. GAS GOES EVERYWHERE. ABOUT A QUART I'D SAY HITS THE GROUND. SINCE THE JEEP IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I JUST LIVE WITH IT. I STILL FILL UP BUT I ONLY PUT IN A FEW GALLONS AT A TIME, STOP, PULL THE NOZZLE OUT, AND PUT IN A FEW MORE. GAS STILL COMES OUT BUT NOT AS MUCH. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
STARTING A FEW MONTHS AGO MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 51000 MILES, STARTED TO HAVE ISSUES WHEN REFUELING. WHEN FILING UP THE TANK, SHORTLY AFTER THE AUTO SHUT-OFF KICKS IN, GAS WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER. THIS ISSUE JUST STARTED AND APPEARS TO HAPPEN AT ALL GAS STATIONS. I CURRENTLY DO NOT FILL MY UP JEEP ALL THE WAY TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING, BUT THIS IS A PRETTY BIG SAFETY CONCERN. MY WIFE WILL NOT GET GAS IN THIS CAR DUE TO THIS ISSUE AS WELL. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS ONLINE, IT APPEARS THERE ARE MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS (2007 AND NEWER) WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. SOME DEALERS ARE REPLACING THE GAS TANKS, BUT MOST ARE NOT ADMITTING THERE IS ANY ISSUE. DUE TO THIS BEING A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, I WANTED THIS REPORTED AND MAYBE THERE COULD BE A RECALL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER THE FUEL PUMP AT A GASOLINE STATION SHUTS OFF INDICATING MY GAS TANK IS FULL, GASOLINE SPEWS BACK OUT OF THE TANK THROUGH THE OPENING WHERE THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE IS INSERTED ONCE THE NOZZLE IS PULLED OUT AFTER FUELING. THE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLED IS SIGNIFICANT. I BELIEVE IT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO MY PAINT AND PLASTIC PIECES ON MY VEHICLE AND IS ALSO A FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. THIS IS NOT A RESULT OF CONTINUING TO PUMP FUEL WHILE REMOVING THE NOZZLE. THE FLOW OF FUEL THROUGH THE NOZZLE HAS STOPPED BUT PRESSURE FROM INSIDE THE TANK FORCES FUEL OUT WHEN THE GAS NOZZLE IS REMOVED. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND DID NOT OCCUR EARLIER IN THE VEHICLE'S HISTORY AND DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN I AM FUELING OTHER VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
IN THE PAST MONTH THE VEHICLE HAS BEGUN TO "SPIT UP" GASOLINE WHEN FILLING UP AT THE SERVICE STATION. WHENEVER I FILL THE TANK TO FULL AND THE FILL NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY CUTS OFF, A GOOD AMOUNT OF GASOLINE COMES UP THROUGH THE FILLER NECK SPILLING OUT ONTO THE GROUND. VARIOUS JEEP OWNERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE POSTED IT ON THE NET THOSE THAT HAVE SOUGHT TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REMEDIED HAVE USUALLY HAD A NEW TANK INSTALLED AND/OR SOME SORT OF EMISSIONS VALVE REPLACED. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND MY DEALER WILL NOT EVEN LOOK AT IT WITHOUT ME PAYING A 'DIAGNOSIS' FEE. FURTHERMORE I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR A NEW GASOLINE TANK ON A VEHICLE THAT'S ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS 27,300 MILES! I HAVE RESORTED TO ONLY FILLING MY TANK 3/4 OF THE WAY. I FEEL THIS PRESENTS VARIOUS SAFETY ISSUES SINCE THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SPILLAGE PRESENTING A DANGEROUS SITUATION AT THE PUMP. *TR

WHEN RE-FUELING, THE PUMP CLICKS WHEN FULL TO SHUT OFF BUT THE TANK "BURPS" OUT FUEL ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT GAS STATION YOU USE OR HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU PUMP - IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER X OVERFLOWS AT THE GAS PUMP EVEN AFTER THE PUMP 'CLICKS'. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. PUMP SHOULD SHUT OFF AT AROUND 18 GALLONS WHEN THE CLICK OCCURS BUT FOR SOME REASON THE CLICK SOUNDS GOES OFF AND GAS BEGINS TO OVERFLOW OUT OF THE JEEP. GAS SPILLS ALL OVER THE JEEP, THE GROUND, AND ME. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE FAILURE AS I AM UNSURE TO WHAT THE ISSUE IS/WHAT THE DEALER WILL DO. PLANNING ON TAKING IT IN TO THE DEALER AFTER CHRISTMAS. *TR
