SUSPENSION:FRONT
2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2DR. 4X4..APPROX MILEAGE 65,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING A SPEED OF 50-55 MPH THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS A BUMP IN THE ROAD, OR AN UNEVEN SPOT, A VIOLENT SHAKING BEGINS AND IS UNCORRECTABLE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS BROUGHT TO A NEAR COMPLETE STOP. THE DEALERSHIP CALLS THIS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS HAS GONE ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 YEARS WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD DRIVING ANYWHERE FROM 35 MPH AND OVER. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS THE WORST, IT HAPPENED AT A HIGHER SPEED (APPROX. 65 MPH) AND RESULTED IN A NEAR COLLISION/ROLLOVER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHYSLER JEEP ASAP. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND POTENTIAL LOSS OF LIFE ISSUE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN REFUELING MY 2007 JEEP WRANKLER (4DR) THE FUEL WILL OVERFLOW BACK OUT OF THE TANK WITHOUT WARNING. THIS OCCURS WHEN LOCKING THE FUEL PUMP HANDLE AS SOME PLACES ALLOW AND WHEN FUELING UP MANUALLY. THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW WHEN TO STOP FUELING BEFORE THIS OCCURS UHNLESS YOU TRY TO REMOVE THE NOZZLE AND LOOK INTO THE FILL HOLE WHILE SLOWLY PUMPING THE FUEL.

UNIDENTIFIED NOISE FROM TRANSMISSION. DEALER FOUND BROKEN SPRING ON CLUTCH PLATE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM. ONLY INDICATING THAT THE CLUTCH IS A "WEARABLE PART". DEALERSHIP INDICATES COULD HAVE CAUSED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. CHECKED WITH 7 OTHER DEALERSHIPS AND NO ONE HAS SEEN THIS SAME PROBLEM IN THEIR SHOPS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. I PURCHASED THE JEEP NEW. FOR ABOUT 8-12 MONTHS NOW WHEN I AM PUMPING MY GAS THE GAS OVERFLOWS INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I HAVE TO TRY TO GUESS WHEN THE TANK IS ALMOST FULL AND STOP PUMPING SO THE GAS DOES NOT SPILL OUT ALL OVER ME. I HAVE HAD IT POUR ALL OVER MY LEGS AND SHOES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FAULTY FUEL TANK CAUSES FUEL SPILL EVERY TIME TANK IS FILLED. I BOUGHT THIS JEEP A YEAR AGO AND EVERY SINGLE TIME I'VE FILLED THE TANK IT SPITS BACK FUEL WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED. I WOULD GUESS 4-5 OUNCES OF FUEL GET SPILLED ON THE GROUND EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND SAYS THE TANK IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

2005 JEEP TJ WHILE FILLING DOES NOT CLICK THE PUMP OFF AND THEREFORE LEAKS AND SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE ROAD CAUSING AN EPA NIGHTMARE. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN FILLING UP. THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEPS DOING THIS BUT THE GOVERNMENT PAYS NO ATTENTION. MAYBE THE EPA IS TOO BUSY WORRYING ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE OTHER THAN FUEL SPILLAGE AND SEEPAGE INTO WATER SUPPLIES...? *TR

WHEN REFILLING MY JEEP WITH GAS IT OCCASIONALLY OVERFLOWS. I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS A PUMP OR JEEP ISSUE UNTIL I STARTED HEARING MORE PEOPLE HAVING THE ISSUE AND REALIZED IT WAS A JEEP ISSUE AND NOT A PUMP ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE 2007-2008S HAVE A TSB AND DJC WILL FIX FOR FREE, BUT MY JEEP IS A 2006 AND HAS THIS PROBLEM AND I AM NOT COVERED. I WOULD LIKE THE TSB TO INCLUDE ALL JEEPS.

SUSPENSION:FRONT, SUSPENSION
2005 JEEP WRANGLER SHAKES VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING ANY MINOR BUMP WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH OR ABOVE. THE VEHICLE MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THE SHAKING WILL STOP. TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACE, WHEEL ALIGNMENT WHICH STOPPED THE SHAKING FOR A FEW MONTHS. THE SHAKING IS BACK AND NOW THE STEERING STABILIZER ARM IS BEING REPLACED JUST TO SEE IF THAT WILL STOP THE SHAKING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS TRYING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON A FREEWAY. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT STARTING GOING OFF AND ON IN MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER XUNLIMITED ABOUT 62,000 MILES. NOW IT IS ON MORE THAN OFF. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T DETERMINE WHAT THE CAUSE IS UNLESS THE LIGHT IS ON WHILE THEY HOOK IT UP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. HAVE REVIEWED VARIOUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD TO REPORT TO YOUR WEBSITE. IT IS A RIGHT HAND DRIVE RURAL MAIL JEEP. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. I GOT A NEW CLOCK SPRING FROM A LOCAL 4X4 SHOP THAT ORDERED IT THROUGH THE LOCAL DEALER. I HAD THE 4X4 SHOP INSTALL THE CLOCK SPRING FOR ME BECAUSE MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER IS NOT A TRUSTWORTHY DEALER IN MY OPINION. TOTAL FOR THE REPAIR WAS NEARLY 500 DOLLARS. *TR
