FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AT THE END OF THE PUMPING OF GAS, IT SPEWS OUT THE FUEL LINE AND ALL OVER MY JEEP AND THE GROUND. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL ISSUE. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING FROM PUMPING FAST TO SLOW, NOZZLE RIGHT SIDE UP TO UPSIDE DOWN, ALL THE WAY IN AND HALF WAY OUT. NOTHING STOPS THE PROBLEM. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER AT SPEED OF 45 MPH AND IT STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING ALSO AND IT TOOK ALOT TO KEEP THE JEEP IN CONTROL. HAD TO PULL THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT SEEM TO STOP AFTER I PULLED OVER AND I SLOWLY DROVE HOME THE REST OF THE WAY. MY CONCERN IS THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR JEEPS AND THERE ARE MANY VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL AND NO REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE LESS THAN 14,000 MILES ON THIS JEEP AND IT IS ONLY A YEAR OLD. I ALSO HAD MY MOTHER AND 15 YR OLD SON WITH ME AND CAN CONFIRM THIS INCIDENT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL MY VEHICLE UP WITH FUEL, AT THE END OF THE FILL UP, FUEL COMES GUSHING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK NECK, AFTER THE PUMP HAS PERFORMED ITS AUTO SHUTOFF. AT LEAST 1 - 2 CUPS OF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE GROUND EVERY TIME THIS OCCURS. THE DEALER SAID THAT I SHOULD IDLE AT THE PUMP FOR 60-90 SECONDS BEFORE PERFORMING A FILL UP. I HAVE ATTEMPTED THIS AND IT HAS NO EFFECT ON THE FLUE GUSHING OUT OF THE TANK. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
ON TUESDAY MARCH 9TH 2010 I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED ACROSS RAILROAD TRACKS IN HERMAN MINNESOTA ABOUT 11:00 AM. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE WET. I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING STARTING IN THE FRONT END WHICH THEN INVOLVED THE WHOLE VEHICLE. MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 25 TO 30 MPH. I HIT THE BRAKES AND THE SHAKING STOPPED. I HAVE 15,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON VARIOUS FORUMS ON THE INTERNET(EDMUNDS.COM,JKFORUM.COM ETC) I HAVE NO MODIFICATIONS ON MY VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED(TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED, OIL CHANGES ETC). I BOUGHT A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE NEW AND HAVE TRAVELED OVER THESE SAME RAILROAD TRACKS MANY A TIME WITH NO PROBLEMS. I AM GOING TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THIS WEEK (3/15/2010) WITH ALBANY CHRYSLER/JEEP THE DEALER WHOM I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM FOR A RECALL TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER AND NORMAL MAINTENANCE. AT THIS APPOINTMENT I WILL HAVE THE SHAKING INCIDENT ADDRESSED. *TR

STEERING
2005 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 39,000 MILES SHAKES VIOLENTLY ON THE FREEWAY AT 50-75 MPH. ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND THEN COULD ONLY GET THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL BY SLOWING TO 40MPH AND ALMOST GOT RE-ENDED. 1) THERE WAS A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING 2) ALMOST LOST CONTROL, THEN NEAR MISS BY VEHICLES BEHIND ME WHEN I HAD TO REDUCE SPEED TO 40MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL 3) I WILL BE SENDING THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS AND NOTHING THE DEALER DOES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM HAS WORKED. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY RHD JEEP WRANGLER HAS EXPERIENCED A FAILURE IN THE PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON RANDOMLY. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. LOOKING INTO IT FURTHER ON VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS, I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR JEEPS. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE SYSTEM IS NON-FUNCTIONAL AND LEAVES THE PASSENGERS WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF THE AIR BAGS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN REFUELING, GAS OVERFLOWS FROM FILLER NECK WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN CONSIDERING GASOLINE SPRAYS NOT ONLY ON THE VEHICLE BUT ON MY FEET AND HANDS AS WELL. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE WEB TO FIND THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH JEEP OWNERS WITH A BROAD RANGE OF MODEL YEAR WRANGLERS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS TANK OVERFLOWS ON EVERY FILL - NO MATTER WHICH GAS STATION, PUMP, ETC (ALL OVER THE EAST COAST) THE AUTO SHUTOFF FIRES ONLY AFTER A CUP OR MORE OF GAS IS SPILLED. THIS HAS RESULTED IN ME BEING COVERED IN GASOLINE REPEATEDLY, NOT TO MENTION THE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLED TO THE GROUND EACH TIME IT IS FILLED. (EVEN FILLING EXTREMELY SLOWLY RESULTS IN A SPILL.) *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
A HANDFUL OF INSTANCES OVER THE PAST MONTH, MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER VIOLENTLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR UPON ACCELERATION. THIS COULD RESULT IN A REAR END COLLISION, POTENTIAL ACCIDENT WHILE CROSSING TRAFFIC LANES OR UPON ACCELERATION ONTO A HIGHWAY LIKE THE SAWMILL PARKWAY WHERE YOU ENTER THE HIGHWAY FROM A DEAD STOP. IN ADDITION TO THE POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC RESULTS DUE TO AN ACCIDENT, THE SHIFTER WHEN IT VIOLENTLY DISENGAGES CAN RESULT IN A DAMAGE TO THE DRIVERS HAND OR FINGERS. MY FINGERS TO A SIGNIFICANT HIT THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM. THROUGH A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I SEE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER WRANGLER OWNERS. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT SUSPENSION WOULD BOUNCE AND CAUSE ROUGH HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE, MORE SO IN COLDER TEMPERATURES.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,000. UPDATED 5/3/10 *CN THE CONSUMER WAS ALSO HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSON. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER NOT TO USE FIRST GEAR, BUT TO START IN SECOND GEAR. UPDATED 06/28/10*JB

PARKING BRAKE
I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 1988 JEEP WRANGLER. I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR A FEW WEEKS. I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE, IT FAILS AND RELEASES. EVERYTIME IT WOULD HAPPEN, IT WOULD HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY AND I WOULD SIMPLY RE-ENGAGE IT, EXCEPT FOR THIS LAST TIME IT HAPPENED. I HAD MY JEEP PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. WHILE I WAS AT SCHOOL, THE PARKING BRAKE FAILED AGAIN AND DISENGAGED. MY JEEP, THEN, ROLLED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AND HIT A TREE IN MY BACKYARD. THIS HAPPENED JUST THE OTHER DAY AND IT IS STILL IN THE SAME POSITION AS I FOUND IT WHEN I CAME HOME. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX IT YET. *TR

I TOOK MY JK UNLIMITED INTO THE DEALER TWICE WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT--TOLD IT WAS THE GAS STATIONS PUMP THAT WAS MALFUNCTIONING. *TR
