FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DURING REFILLING, FUEL FLOWS AND SPLASHES OUT OF THE FILLER PORT. THIS OCCURS DURING THE POINT THE TANK BECOMES FULL AND THE NOZZLE TURNS OFF. IT DID NOT SEEM TO OCCUR DURING THE BEGINNING OF OWNERSHIP, BUT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME. ATTEMPTS TO POSITION THE NOZZLE IN VARIOUS WAYS AND SLOWING THE FUEL FLOW HAS NOT HAD ANY EFFECT ON MITIGATING THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN FUELING MY JEEP, THE AUTO STOP DOES NOT ENGAGE ON THE GAS PUMP AND IT CAUSES IT TO OVERFLOW. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. NOW I DO NOT RELY ON THE AUTO STOP AND JUDGE IT MYSELF. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA. IN THE PAST 30 DAYS IT HAS STARTED TO FLOW FUEL OUT OF THE FILLER EACH AND EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, REGARDLESS OF THE STATION OR PUMP. IT LITERALLY GUSHES OUT AS THE FUEL PUMP STOPS. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE SAFETY HAZARD. I'M TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE IS A FLAW WITH THE OVERFLOW VENT FILTER AND AS THIS COMPONENT IS INTEGRAL TO THE TANK, THAT THE ENTIRE TANK MUST BE REPLACED. WITH ALL THE EXACT ISSUES ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I'M ALSO NOW CONCERNED ABOUT THE SO-CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" ISSUE THAT I'VE NOW READ ABOUT ON THE SITE. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH 45,000 MILES. DURING DRIVING AND YOU HIT A BUMP THE VEHICLE WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. IT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU STOP THE VEHICLE AND THEN YOU CAN PROCEED. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG JEEP OWNERS. THEY EVEN HAVE A NAME FOR IT THE DEATH WOBBLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING UP MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4 DOOR, WHEN IT GETS TO THE 'FULL' POINT THE CUT-OFF POINT TO STOP THE FUEL FROM FLOWING INTO THE TANK DOES NOT RESPOND. SO, WHEN FUELING UP THE WRANGLER IT STOPS FUELING AND GAS POURS OUT EVERYWHERE SPLASHING ME, GETTING FUEL ON MY JEEP (WHICH ISN'T GOOD FOR THE PAINT) AND GETTING FUEL ON THE GROUND WHICH COULD CAUSE HARM OR A FIRE. THIS HAS HAPPENED FREQUENTLY FOR THE PAST YEAR OR SO I HAVE OWNED THE JEEP. I'VE GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT COMPLETELY FUEL MY JEEP UP BECAUSE I'M AFRAID IT WILL OVERFLOW. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER X AND DURING REFUELING, OFTEN TIMES IT BEGINS TO OVERFLOW BEFORE THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF. I HAD TO STOP TRYING TO ACTUALLY FILL UP, IT WOULD DO THIS WITHOUT EVEN TRYING TO TOP OFF THE TANK. IT WOULD NOT CLICK OFF LIKE IT HAD WITH OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED. *TR

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER X'S GAS TANK OVERFLOWS UPON THE LAST BIT OF FILLING THE TANK. IT STARTED AT ABOUT 20,000 MI. THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF, AND THEN WAIT A FEW SECONDS TO HEAR IT COMING UP THE THROAT OF THE TANK AND IT SPILLS A GOOD AMOUNT OF GAS EVERYWHERE, NOT JUST A FEW DROPS. THERE WERE NO PARTICULAR EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE, AND IT OCCURS 9/10 TIMES THAT I GET GAS. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH GAS STATION I GO TO, OR WHAT PUMP IS BEING USED. CHRYSLER TOLD ME WHEN I BROUGHT THE JEEP INTO THE JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT "THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM". *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WE HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER X. WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO FULL OR NEARLY FULL AND THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OR CLICKS OFF FUEL SUDDENLY SPLASHES OUT. IT COMES OUT WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT WILL SPLASH THE PERSON FUELING THE JEEP; IT WILL RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF IT AND LEAVE A PUDDLE OF FUEL ON THE GROUND. OUR FEAR IS IF SOMEONE WERE TO TOSS A CIGARETTE OR DISCARD A MATCH AFTER THIS HAPPENED THAT THE FUEL COULD IGNITE OR EXPLODE. IT IS THE VEHICLE THAT HAS THE PROBLEM, NOT THE FUEL STATION PUMP AS THIS HAS NOW OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT FILLING STATIONS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH HE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE FURTHER BUT THE VEHICLE HESITATED BEFORE LUNGING FORWARD. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND TURNED OFF. UPON EXAMINATION HE NOTICED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE TRANSFER CASE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT IT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 47,063.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE FILLING UP MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED WITH GAS,THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AND ABOUT 1 SECOND LATER THE GAS SEEMS TO OVERFILL AND SPIT BACK OUT OF THE FUEL FILL NECK. THIS OCCURS AT DIFFERENT PUMPS WITH NO APPARENT CONSISTENT FACTORS. WHEN THE TANK GETS FULL AND THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AND QUITE A BIT OF GAS SPITS BACK OUT OF THE NECK ONTO ME, THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK. NOW I HAVE ADAPTED MY FILL UP STRATEGY AND FILL ONLY TO WHAT I THINK IS NEAR FULL AND NOT LET IT CLICK. *TR
