ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA THAT I HAVE OWNED SINCE IT HAD 100 MILES ON IT. IT IS BURNING THROUGH OIL A LOT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR OILS CONSUMPTIONS TEST AND THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL TO BURN THROUGH 1 QUART OF OIL FOR EVERY 750 MILES. FIGURED THIS OUT BECAUSE EVERYTIME I WAS GETTING AN OIL CHANGE (WAS USING SYNTHETIC) AT 6K I WAS BEING TOLD THE OIL WAS BONE DRY. NOT GOOD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER PORT DURING THE REFUELING PROCESS. THIS CONDITION GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO THE FULL OR NEARLY FULL LEVEL AND THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OR CLICKS OFF. CONSUMERS REPORT THAT THE SPILLED FUEL CAN SPLASH ON THE PERSON FUELING THE VEHICLE, OR ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER WHERE FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER PORT DURING THE REFUELING PROCESS. THIS CONDITION OCCURS WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO THE FULL OR NEARLY FULL LEVEL AND THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OR CLICKS OFF. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, AND EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE IS SPLASHED ALL OVER THE DRIVER SIDE REAR CORNER OF THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND, AND SOMETIMES THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK. IT FIRST HAPPENED ROUGHLY 600 MILES AFTER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY EXPIRED, SO THE DEALERSHIP CURRENTLY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (JK), AND ALLOWING THE FUEL PUMP TO AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF WHEN THE GAS TANK REACHES THE FULL LEVEL, FUEL WILL OFTEN OVERFLOW OUT OF THE FILL PORT. MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT THE PUMP IS NOT TURNED OFF SOON ENOUGH, LEADING TO AN OVERFLOW SITUATION. *TR

SEAT BELTS
UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS OR EVEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS AT A COMPLETE STOP THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT WILL LOCK UP. IF THE FRONT PASSENGER (MY WIFE) SITS BACK THE BELT WILL ONLY TIGHTEN. THE ONLY WAY FOR THE SEAT BELT TO RELEASE AND BE WORN PROPERLY AGAIN IS THE BELT MUST BE REMOVED AND PUT INTO A REST POSITION. THERE IS NO BRAKING AND HARD TURNS OR ACCELERATION BEING DONE AT ANYTIME THAT THIS HAPPENS. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES I AM ONLY TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM CAN NOT BE REPRODUCED AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND USUALLY WHILE WE ARE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. NOT A GOOD TIME TO HAVE TO REMOVE THE SEAT BELT IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK PROPERLY AGAIN. NOTE; THERE IS NO SUDDEN MOVEMENTS BEING DONE BY PASSENGER. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE BETTER PART OF TWO YEARS NOW. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM AND THE IGNITION ARE TIED TOGETHER IN THE REMOTE. IF THE BATTERY IN THE REMOTE GOES DEAD (HOW DO WE KNOW IT IS THE BATTERY AND NOT SOMETHING IN THE CAR), THEN I CAN GAIN ACCESS USING THE KEY. HOWEVER, I CAN'T START THE CAR BECAUSE THE ALARM IS STILL SET AND ACTIVATED (VERY LOUD). I CAN'T DISARM THE SECURITY SYSTEM WITH THE IGNITION LOCKED OUT BECAUSE THE BATTERY IS DEAD IN THE REMOTE. MY INQUIRY TO JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE RESULTED IN A SUGGESTION TO SEE IF THE DEALER COULD HELP. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE UNSAFE AS THERE IS NO INFORMATION ON HOW TO OVERRIDE THE LINKING OF THE TWO SYSTEMS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. HELP! *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON, THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS. DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM HOLDING THE NOZZLE AND LISTENING FOR THE TANK TO FILL, IT STILL OVERFLOWS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING, GAS GUSHES OUT OF THE FILL TUBE AFTER PUMP SHUTS OFF AND TANK IS NEARLY FULL. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. APPROXIMATELY 2-3 CUPS (1 TO 1.5 PINTS) OF FUEL SPILLS DOWN SIDE OF VEHICLE AND ON TO THE GROUND CREATING A FIRE HAZARD AND LONG TERM ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. EACH TIME I REFUEL THE GAS TANK IT SPEWS GASOLINE ON ME AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS IS A FAIRLY LARGE AMOUNT AND MUST BE A FIRE SAFETY AS WELL AS A HEALTH HAZARD FROM DIRECT SKIN CONTACT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP USED AND UNDER WARRANTY APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS AGO. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 2 1/2 MONTHS AGO AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. I AM TAKING VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP ALONG WITH A PRINTOUT OF THE COMPLAINTS ALREADY VOICED OF THE SAME NATURE SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE A ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
RE: ODI ID# 10340432 UPDATE - CHRYSLER HAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED RE-IMBURSEMENT FOR THE DAMAGE TO MY JEEP THEN LATER DECLINED THE CLAIM STATING THE REPAIRS WOULD BE CONSIDERED "ROUTINE MAINTENANCE". AS PER 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DOOR SERVICE MANUAL REPLACING TRANSMISSION OIL AND FILTER ARE NOT REQUIRED MAINTENANCE UNTIL 120,000 MILES. MY JEEP PRESENTLY HAS LESS THAN 36,000 MILES AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 31,000 MILES ON DATE OF INCIDENT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN REFUELING, MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER DOES NOT STOP THE GAS FLOW BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL. ABOUT 20-30 OUNCES OF GASOLINE USUALLY BUBBLES OUT OF THE GAS INLET AFTER THE PUMP STOPS, LEAVING A PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GROUND EVERY TIME. CURRENTLY THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR
