POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER X, MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE KEEPS POPPING OUR OF GEAR ON ITS OWN WHICH OFTEN RESULTS IN A SUDDEN AND UNPREDICTABLE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ACCELERATED AFTER A COMPLETE STOP, THE PROBLEM ALSO DISPLAYS ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING ON 1ST , 2ND OR 3RD GEAR. SOMETIMES, AFTER HAVING STOP FOR A RED LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN, I PUT THE CAR ON 1ST GEAR TO DRIVE AWAY BUT THE CAR WOULD MOVE A FEW FEET BUT THEN IT POPS OUT RIGHT BACK TO NEUTRAL. AS A RESULT, MY VEHICLE WOULD STOP COMPLETELY AND THE DRIVER BEHIND ME OFTEN ALMOST HITS MY VEHICLE FROM THE BACK. THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN I AM TURNING A CURVE. I MUST ADD THAT THE VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN IT POPS OUT OF GEAR CAUSING ME, AS THE DRIVER, TO LOOSE SOME CONTROL AND CONCENTRATION. I BELIEVE, BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, MY CAR IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEMS TO THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER AT LEAST FIVE TIMES BUT THEY KEEP SAYING THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX IT. I AM FEARFUL FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHER DRIVERS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. I WOULD STRONGLY URGE YOUR ORGANIZATION TO IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK (2 DOOR) SPITS BACK FUEL AND SPILLS ABOUT A CUP OF FUEL WHEN GAS STATION PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT THE END OF FILLING THE TANK REGARDLESS OF THE PACE THE FUEL IS PUMPED (AMOUNT SPILLED IS LESS AT LOWER PUMP RATE BUT STILL HAPPENS). THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 27,000 MILES. IT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THAT. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUES SINCE IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FUELED. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK OF MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF GASOLINE IS SPEWED FROM THE FILLER HOLE. FROM WHAT I'VE RESEARCHED CHRYSLER'S FIX IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM EVENTUALLY STARTS AGAIN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF GAS TANK WHEN GAS PUMP AUTO STOP IS USED. THIS IS A FIRE DANGER AS THE MUFFLER IS VERY NEAR THE FUEL INLET. ALSO, I HAVE HAD FUEL SPRAYED ON MY BODY, AND IF IGNITED, WOULD HAVE CAUSED SEVERE BURNS. THIS OCCURS ABOUT 75% OF THE TIME WHEN USING PUMP AUTO STOP. I HAVE SINCE QUIT USING AUTO STOP, AND MANUALLY STOP THE FUEL PUMP. I'M TAKING TO DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO ATTEMPT A PERMANENT REPAIR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
2009 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION - POPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR RANDOMLY. HAPPENS WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP - LOUD BANGING NOISE. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES ALREADY AND BECAUSE THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. CAR HAS 14000 MILES BUT JOG STARTED AT APPROX 1,000 MILES. JEEP NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS. RESEARCHING ON INTERNET SHOWS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON SAME PROBLEM WITH LITTLE HELP FROM JEEP OR CHRYSLER. ARE WE JEEPS "TOYOTA" VICTIMS? *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT, STEERING
I HAVE HAD THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IN THE FRONT END OF MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER HAPPEN TWICE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WHILE ON A BUSY FREEWAY. I HAVE NEARLY CRASHED BOTH TIMES AS I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT MOVE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE IT AND WONDER HOW MANY FATAL CAR ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED DUE THIS TERRIBLE WOBBLE THAT BOUNCES THE FRONT END UP AND DOWN. *TR

MY FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I FILL UP, SPILLING GASOLINE ALL OVER MY JEEP, GAS CAP, AND GROUND. CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF STANDING BY GAS TANK WHILE FILLING UP. WHAT IF A SMALL KID WALKS UP TO MY CAR WHEN IT SPILLS OUT? I SEE 86+ COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE! IT'S BEEN HAPPENING TO ME FOR WELL OVER 3 YEARS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2001 JEEP TJ, 40,000 MILES, SLOWLY LOSING COOLANT OVER THE COURSE OF 4 YRS. USED A PRESSURE TESTER AND VERIFIED NO EXTERNAL LEAKS. HOWEVER, USED THE SAME PRESSURE TESTER WITH ENGINE RUNNING, PER THE INSTRUCTIONS, AND THE SYSTEM GRADUALLY BUILT PRESSURE FROM 18 LBS TO 25 LBS BEFORE I STOPPED THE TEST. THIS INDICATES COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER. CURRENTLY MY OIL PRESSURE IS GOOD AND THERE IS NO COOLANT CONTAMINATION ON THE DIP STICK OR UNDER THE OIL FILL CAP. AT RISK (LONG TERM) IS THE INTERNAL ENGINE BEARINGS: CAM AND CRANKSHAFT. I FOUND A THREAD ON THE INTERNET THAT COVERS MANY JEEP TJ OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OF COOLANT LOSS. THIS IS ALL DUE TO A BAD BATCH OF CYLINDER HEADS WITH CASTING # 0331, MANUFACTURED FROM 2000 THROUGH 2006. *TR
