STEERING
THE FAILURE OF A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER IS THAT WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN THE RANGE OF 40MPH TO 65MPH AND YOU GET IN TO A ROUGH SURFACE OR HIT ANY BUMP ON THE ROAD THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE REALLY VIOLENTLY. THIS HAS HAPPEN NOT ONLY TO MYSELF BUT TO A LOT OF JEEP OWNERS. THEY ALL SEEM TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE NEVER ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND ITS GETTING REALLY BAD AND IT COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO END UP DYING. I MYSELF HAVE CHANGED THE PARTS TO MY OWN VEHICLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT KNOW THE SOLUTION TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ITS NOT ONLY ME WHO THIS HAS HAPPEN THEIR IS A LOT OF SCARED PEOPLE THAT HAVE RAN INTO THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE NO WAY OR THE KNOWLEDGE TO ADDRESS IT TO ANYONE. I JUST WANT THIS TO RESOLVE THIS BEFORE ANYONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN DEATH. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 30-55 MPH, THE FRONT TIRES CAN BEGIN TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. WHEN IT OCCURS, THE VEHICLE IS UNCONTROLLABLE AND THE VIOLENT WOBBILING CAN ONLY BE STOPPED BY STOPPING THE VEHICLE. DEALERS CLAIM THERE IS NO PROBLEM AND WILL NOT/CANNOT FIX IT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING GAS TANK WITH THE LOCK ON THE PUMP, THE PUMP DOESN'T SHUT OFF UNTIL IT HAS OVERFLOWED. THERE IS ALWAYS GAS ALL OVER THE GROUND WHEN FINISHED. THIS EVENT OCCURS APPROX 98% OF THE TIME. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN REFUELING MY 2006 WRANGLER JEEP GAS SURGES OUT OF THE TANK PRIOR TO THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF. I HAVE NOT MEASURED THE AMOUNT SPILLED BUT IT IS ENOUGH TO CREATE APPROXIMATELY A 24-36" DIAMETER WET SPOT ON THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL MY VEHICLE NO MATTER WHICH FILLING STATION I USE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD CONSIDERING IT SPLASHES ON MY ARM AND CLOTHING IF I AM HOLDING ONTO THE PUMP HANDLE OR STANDING WITHIN ARMS REACH OF THE NOZZLE AND THE SPILLED FUEL IS BECOMING A GROUND OR WATER CONTAMINATE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AS IT IS SOAKED UP OR WASHES AWAY.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING THE THE TANK BURPS FUEL OUT THE VEHICLE FILL TUBE AFTER THE FILL NOZZLE HAS SHUT OFF. THIS OCCURS OFTEN. AT FIRST OCCURRENCE I ASSUMED THAT THE FLOW INTO THE TANK WAS TOO FAST, AND BEGAN SLOW FILLING TO PREVENT IT THIS INITIALLY HAS SOME SUCCESS, AS IT DID NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE, AND NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME EVEN WHEN FILLING SLOW.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. EVERYTIME I FUEL MY VEHICLE AT THE PUMP, FUEL WILL SPEW OUT BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT AND BLAMED IT ON ME BASICALLY. I STARTED PUTTING THE FUEL IN SLOWER AND IT WORKS MOST OF THE TIME BUT SOMETIMES I STILL WILL HAVE FUEL SPEW OUT BEFORE THE PUMP CLICKS OFF, NO MATTER HOW SLOW I TRY. SEARCHING ONLINE FORUMS, I HAVE FOUND OUT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, ON THE CONTRARY THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM, BETWEEN 97-06 TJ JEEP WRANGLER MODELS. *TR

GASOLINE SPILL EACH TIME FUEL TANK IS FILLED. AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE TANK REACHES FULL AND SHUTS OFF THE GAS FLOW AT THE NOZZLE A LARGE VOLUME OF GASOLINE RUSHES OUT OF THE FILLER NECK OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE PAVEMENT. POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND QUITE PREVALENT IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER HAS DEVELOPED A CONSISTENT FAILURE TO STOP PUMPS AT GAS STATIONS FROM CONTINUING TO PUMP FUEL EVEN THOUGH THE TANK IS FULL. AS A RESULT, GASOLINE IS SPAT OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK OF THE GAS TANK LIKE A BURST FROM A FOUNTAIN, SPLASHING OUT ON THE GROUND, ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND GENERALLY ON ME, THE OPERATOR OF THE GAS PUMP. IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AND IT NOW EXHIBITS THIS BEHAVIOR CONSISTENTLY EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THIS IS A PROBLEM NOT ONLY DUE TO THE CUMULATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF SPILLING OUT RAW GASOLINE AND OF RUINING CLOTHING AND RESULTING IN CARRYING WITH ME THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE ALL DAY AT WORK AND AT HOME, BUT IT IS ALSO A CLEAR AND APPALLING SAFETY HAZARD WITH RAW GASOLINE SPLASHED AROUND. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP HAS RECOMMENDED A VERY COSTLY REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE GAS TANK ASSEMBLY AT MY OWN EXPENSE AND HAS SAID THAT THIS WILL ONLY TEMPORARILY RELIEVE THE SYMPTOMS, THAT THE DESIGN HAS NOT CHANGED AND THUS THE PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO RESURFACE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH MY JEEP HAS STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND SHUDDER AFTER HITTING A BUMP. IT WILL ONLY STOP SHAKING AFTER PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SLOWING DOWN TO 15-20 MPH OR STOPPING ALL TOGETHER. THE DAY IT STARTED WE WERE TAKING A TRIP TO NEW ORLEANS AND IT HAPPENED 6 OR 7 TIMES IN LESS THAN 100 MILES. I WILL BE TAKING IT IN TO THE DEALER IN THE MORNING, BUT AFTER A QUICK SEARCH OF THE NHTSA DATABASE IT SEEM THIS HAS BEEN A REGULAR OCCURRENCE AND RECURRENCE WITH JEEPS FOR MANY YEARS. LUCKILY WE WERE ON A SECONDARY HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND NOT ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE AT 70-75 MPH (YET). THE WIFE IS NOW TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND I'M NOT TO COMFORTABLE WITH IT AT THIS POINT. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE WE'RE BEING STATIONED OVERSEAS AND PLANNED ON LETTING OUR SON IN COLLEGE USE THE VEHICLE WHICH DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A GREAT OPTION AT THIS POINT. WE'VE ALSO NOTICED, FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS, THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WILL JUMP OUT OF 1ST GEAR WHEN TAKING OFF. I LOOKED FORWARD TO OWNING A JEEP 4-DOOR FOR SOME TIME AND THIS IS RATHER DISAPPOINTING AND I WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN CONSIDERED BUYING IT IF I HAD BEEN TOLD THIS WOULD HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT, NONE OF WHICH ARE OFF-ROADING MILES. I BELIEVE JEEP SHOULD HAVE TO WARN IT'S POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS IF THEY DO NOT WANT TO BOTHER FIXING AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD HAVE TO REMOVE ALL THEIR "TRAIL RATED" BADGES FROM ALL VEHICLES. IT'S NO WONDER CHRYSLER IS HAVING FINANCIAL TROUBLES SINCE THEY CAN'T MAKE A 4X4 THAT CAN HANDLE A BUMP.
