ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WHEN A SQUEALING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY NEAR THE CAM SHAFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE OIL FAILED TO PUMP THROUGH THE VEHICLE PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE VIN DID NOT QUALIFY FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V147000 (POWER TRAIN: CLUTCH ASSEMBLY). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED, THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2008 JEEP 4X4 WRANGLER UNLIMITED AND ON THE WAY HOME I STOPPED TO REFUEL. NOT SURE HOW MUCH GAS IT WOULD TAKE, I WAS HOLDING THE NOZZLE AND SUDDENLY GAS SPEWED OUT OF THE TANK BEFORE THE PUMP TURNS OFF, SPLASHING OVER ME, MY SHOES AND THE SURROUND PUMP AREA. I INITIALLY THOUGHT I DID SOMETHING WRONG, HOWEVER THE SECOND TIME I REFUELED, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I'VE USED THIS GAS STATION FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER CARS. THEN, I SEARCHED THE INTERNET TO DETERMINE WHAT I COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM, ONLY TO FIND THAT IT HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED, NHTSA HAS RECEIVED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY INTERNET AND DECIDED TO CLOSE THE INVESTIGATION? THE INTERNET IS A GREAT PLEASE TO FIND RESOLUTIONS FOR PROBLEMS AND QUICKLY COLLECT EXPERIENCES OR ISSUES THAT AFFECT THE PUBLIC. I'M NOT SURE OF THE NHTSA'S CRITERIA TO ACCEPT COMPLAINTS AND TAKE ACTION, BUT CERTAINLY HOPE THAT THEY ARE TAKING THE APPROPRIATE ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS SITUATION.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE FUEL SPILLS OUT AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP. I HAVE WITNESSED THIS BEING A PROBLEM WITH NUMEROUS JEEP OWNERS AND BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A FAULTY INLET CHECK VALVE THAT IS NOT ONLY COSTING ME MONEY FROM WASTED FUEL BUT ALSO CREATING A ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD FROM SPILLED GASOLINE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER MONTHS OF OVERNIGHT STAYS WITH THE DEALERSHIP; A NUMBER OF ELECTRICAL PARTS WERE REPLACED IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES. DURING THE LAST VISIT THE TIPM STOPPED RESPONDING WHILE THE TECH WAS CHECKING FOR ERROR CODES. THE TECH DETERMINED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WAS THE LIKELY SOURCE OF THE ISSUES GIVEN IT'S COMPLEX BUILD AND IT'S ROLL IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE IS AN 08 WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH 60,000 MILES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I JUST PURCHASE A JEEP AND THE FIRST TIME I FILLED UP WITH GAS, THE PUMP SHUT OFF BUT FUEL SPLASHED OUT ON THE GROUND, THE VEHICLE AND ME. I THOUGHT AT FIRST I JUST HAD DONE SOMETHING WRONG. I WENT THREE DAYS LATER TO FUEL UP AGAIN AND THIS TIME DID NOT USE THE NOZZLE HANDLE LATCH AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE PUMP SHUT OFF AND I KEPT THE NOZZLE IN THE TANK FOR A MOMENT FOR THE FUEL TO SETTLE BUT IT SPILLED OUT WITH FORCE ALL OVER MY CAR, THE CONCRETE AND ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AS I LOVE MY JEEP BUT THIS IS UNSAFE AND I WANT IT FIXED! OBVIOUSLY THERE IS NO WARRANTY REMAINING BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW FUEL TANK AND SYSTEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET FORUMS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED......BEFORE A MAJOR INCIDENT OCCURS! *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK AS FUELING IS NEAR COMPLETED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE AUGUST AND I HAVE TRIED VARIOUS SOLUTIONS AND NOTHING SEEMS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

STEERING
MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60-65 MPH. I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE AND IT SCARED THEM TO DEATH. I HAD TO TRY TO PULL OVER TO AVOID A COLLISION. IT WOULD NOT STOP SHAKING UNTIL I WAS UNDER 30 MPH. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER 8 TIMES TO GET THIS PROBLEM ADDRESSED. THEY HAVE DONE ALIGNMENTS CHANGED STEERING STABILIZERS AND STILL CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I JUST HAD IT BACK INTO CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPT ON 10-24-11 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEED TO BE FIXED!!!! PLEASE HELP *TT

POWER TRAIN
TRAC BAR HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER 74K. ALONG WITH THE REPLACEMENT, STEERING STABILIZER AND ALIGNMENT WAS REQUIRED. THIS WAS A COSTLY REPAIR. NOW, 20K LATER, TRAC BAR IS AGAIN NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, THIS ISSUE IS EXPERIENCED BY A HUGE AMOUNT OF WRANGLER OWNERS, BUT CHRYSLER HAS NEVER ADDRESSED THE ISSUE. I LOVE MY JEEP, BUT AM UNSURE IF I WOULD BUY ANOTHER. THIS FLAW CREATES A HUGE HAZARD. THE ENTIRE FRONT END SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND ESSENTIALLY BECOMES VERY HARD TO CONTROL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EACH AND EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK THE PUMP WILL CEASE THE FLOW OF GAS FROM THE NOZZLE AND LARGE QUANTITIES OF GASOLINE WILL BACKWASH/OVERFLOW FROM THE TANK. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR OWNERS OF JEEPS WITH THIS ISSUE. GOD FORBID IF SOMEONE IS SMOKING AROUND THE AREA. AS SILLY AS THAT IDEA MAY BE REMEMBER WHO SUED MCDONALDS CORP. FOR SPILLING HOT COFFEE ON THEMSELVES AND WON MILLIONS! JUST BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU THE COFFEE WASN'T HOT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT COMMON SENSE JUST AS IS GASOLINE SPILLING VIOLENTLY FROM YOUR VEHICLES GAS TANK IS VERY DANGEROUS WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE LARGE AMOUNTS OF PROPERTY DAMAGE AND LOSS OF LIFE. THE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND MODIFIED OR REPLACED. *TR
