STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
AFTER HITTING A BUMP MY JEEP'S STEERING VIOLENTLY SHAKES UNTIL I SLOW DOWN. IT FEELS LIKE I MAY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IT IS VERY UNSAFE. THE WHEELS WERE RECENTLY REPLACED AND BALANCED WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER THAT MY ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC MONITOR MAY BE DEFECTIVE AND THAT THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO LIFETIME. I DID THE TEST AND IT IS ONE OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. I TOOK IT TO ERTLEY MOTORWORLD AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE I LIVE IN AN AREA THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE THIS POLLUTION TEST NOW, THE ONLY WAY THEY WOULD FIX IT IS IF I PAY THEM $ 79.95. I SAID WHAT IF THE TEST IS REQUIRED IN THE FUTURE IN MY AREA OR IF I MOVE TO ANOTHER LOCATION THAT REQUIRES IT OR SELL IT TO SOMEONE IN THAT AREA AND IT WON'T BE ALLOWED TO BE LICENSED? I WAS TOLD $ 79.95 OR DON'T FIX IT. NOW I'M MAD AND OUT OF $ 10.00 IN GAS FOR MY TROUBLE. WHY SEND THESE NOTICES IF IT'S JUST RED TAPE TO PLEASE THE GOVERNMENT AND MAKE FOOLS OF THE CONSUMER? *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AT EVERY FILL UP FUEL SPILLS ALL OVER MYSELF ,MY CAR AND THE FLOOR. VERY UNSAFE! AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF NEVER KICKS IN WHEN FULL. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO YOU NEED AND FOR HOW MANY YEARS! DOES ANYBODY ACTUALLY READ THEM BESIDES THE CONSUMER? THERE ARE OVER 500 COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THIS WEBSITE ALONE. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL? *TR

STEERING
THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT SPEEDS OF 50MPH OR ABOVE. THE SHAKING DOES NOT STOP AND I MUST IMMEDIATELY STOP THE VEHICLE WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED MAJOR ACCIDENTS. THIS FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED TWO YEARS AGO, I HAVE REPLACED THE SHOCKS, STEERING STABILIZER, UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS, ALL FOUR TIRES AND HAVE HAD IT PROPERLY ALIGNED. THE PROBLEM WILL STOP FOR A FEW MONTHS THEN SUDDENLY HAPPEN AGAIN. AFTER DOING FURTHER RESEARCH I REALIZED THIS IS CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE AND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY JEEP OWNER TO EXPERIENCE THIS. THIS VIOLENT SHAKING IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY JEEP / CHRYSLER AS A WARRANTY OR RECALL ISSUE. *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE GAS TANK SPILLS EVERY TIME THE JEEP IS FUELED. THE NECK DOESN'T RESPOND FAST ENOUGH THAT THE TANK IS FULL AND IT CONTINUES TO ACCEPT GASOLINE UNTIL IT SPITS GASOLINE BACK OUT OF THE TANK. THE GASOLINE THEN RUNS DOWN THE QUARTER PANEL, ONTO THE GROUND, AND SOMETIMES ONTO THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK IF THEY ARE HOLDING THE FUELING NOZZLE. IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT OR THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS AT EVERY GAS STATION AS WELL. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS AT PUMP STATION. THE VEHICLE IS NOT ABLE TO TELL THE GAS PUMP THAT THE TANK IS FULL OR NEAR FULL. AS A RESULT, GAS OVERFLOWS FROM THE FILLER NECK ONTO THE LEFT REAR FENDER, QUARTER PANEL AND GROUND. THIS IS UNSAFE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BY CHRYSLER TO FIX THIS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUELING THE VEHICLE ALWAYS RESULTS IN FUEL SPRAY FROM THE VENT ON THE FILLER NECK. THIS SPRAY HAPPENS 100% OF FUELINGS. THE TANK IS OFTEN LESS THAN 90% FULL AFTER THIS AND REQUIRES TOPPING AND ADDITIONAL FUEL SPRAY. I HAVE HAD TO REPORT TO NAVY MEDICAL TO HAVE MY EYES FLUSHED AND CHECKED AFTER BEING SHOT DIRECTLY IN THE EYES WHILE LISTENING FOR THE DISTINCT SOUND OF FUEL BUBBLES RISING TO THE TOP OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK. THIS CAUSES ON AVERAGE 1/8 GALLON OF FUEL TO BE SPILLED PER FILL UP. OVER 40K MILES AT AN AVERAGE OF 14MPG THAT IS 22 GALLONS OF FUEL SPILLED AND MORE EVAPORATED. IF FILLING STATIONS REQUIRE SHUT OFF VALVES, AND ALL NEW VEHICLES REQUIRE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS SYSTEMS TO CONTROL ENVIRONMENTAL AIR QUALITY, TO THE GREAT DETRIMENT OF GAS MILEAGE, WHY HAS THIS ISSUE NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? WHY DO WE HAVE TO USE SHODDY GAS CANS WITH CARB COMPLIANT NOZZLES WHICH CAUSE MORE FUEL SPILLS THAN NORMAL FUEL CONTAINERS IF THE GOVERNMENT IS PREPARED TO IGNORE THIS? I'VE BEGUN USING SURPLUS NATO JERRY CANS TO FILL MY TRUCK AND AVOID BEING SOAKED IN DANGEROUSLY FLAMMABLE AND CANCER CAUSING FUEL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ANYTIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, FUEL EXPLODES OUT OF THE FILLER BEFORE THE GAS HOSE CLICKS OFF. CAUSING GAS TO SPLASH ON MYSELF, THE GROUND AND MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE ITS A DEFECT IN THE JEEPS FLAPPER VALVE. DEFINITELY DANGEROUS AND I'M SURPRISED IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET AS IT COULD CAUSE GAS TO BE SPLASHED IN THE EYES. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY JEEP GOES INTO A DEATH WOBBLE WHENEVER I HIT 50-55 MPH. THERE ARE TIME I HAVE TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL W/BOTH HANDS, WITH A DEATH GRIP FOR FEAR I WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WILL LEAVE MY LANE OR FLIP OVER. I HAVE DRIVEN SEVERAL JEEPS AND OTHER AUTOS AND HAVE NEVER EVER EVER BEEN SO FRIGHTENED OF CRASHING. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY CHRYSLER TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN I FUELED THE VEHICLE AND IT BECAME FULL, THE FUEL WOULD SPRAY BACK OUT OF THE FILLER SPOUT AS THE NOZZLE SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. IT HAS CONTINUED DOING THIS UNTIL PRESENT. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY COULD TAKE THE TANK OFF AND CHECK IT OUT BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I DECIDED TO JUST PUT UP WITH IT. I LISTEN TO THE FUEL AS I FILL IT AND SHUT IT OFF MANUALLY WHEN IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS ABOUT FULL. THIS KEEPS IT FROM SPRAYING FUEL BACK OUT THE FILLER NECK MOST OF THE TIME. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I BORROWED MY HUSBAND'S JEEP AND AS SOON AS I WENT ABOVE 50 THE WHOLE THING STARTED SHAKING REAL VIOLENTLY. I HAD A HARD TIME CONTROLLING IT. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED HIM. HE SAID IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW WEEKS AND ALWAYS TAKES BACK ROADS TO AVOID DRIVING FASTER. I HAD TO PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND CRUISE TO THE NEAREST EXIT. THANK GOODNESS MY KIDS WEREN'T WITH ME BECAUSE I WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO CONTROL IT. IT SCARED THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME. THEN I SAW ONLINE IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM(WITH MODIFICATIONS-TOO BAD WE NEVER DID ANY) BUT NOT A BIG ENOUGH DEAL TO HAVE A RECALL. LET THEM DRIVE IT AND SEE HOW QUICK IT GETS DONE. DANGEROUS. THEY SAY IT'S AN EASY FIX AFTER YOU TRY HALF A DOZEN THINGS. GREAT! LET ME GET MY CHECKBOOK... *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN PUTTING GAS IN MY JEEP USING A FUEL PUMP GAS RUNS OUT ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND MAKES A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND BEFORE THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY CAR UNLESS I HAPPEN TO HEAR HOW CLOSE THE GAS LEVEL IS GETTING AND SHUT THE PUMP OFF ON MY OWN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER TJ SPILLS FUEL WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FILLED COMPLETELY, ENOUGH TO COVER THE REAR CORNER AND LEAVE A MEDIUM SIZED PUDDLE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. I USE ETHANOL FREE GASOLINE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TREATED POORLY, AND ALL OF THE COMPONENTS ARE OEM. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM IN YOUR DATA BASE AND HAVE FOUND OVER 300 COMPLAINTS FOR MY MODEL YEAR ALONE THAT MATCH. I'VE BEEN A FIREFIGHTER FOR 12 YEARS, SO I KNOW WHEN A PROBLEM CAN BE SERIOUS, AND THIS IS ONE. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE PEOPLE HACKING IN PARTS FROM OTHER MANUFACTURERS TO FIX THIS, HOWEVER I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS IDEA. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE TRAVELING ON A SLIGHT GRADE AT APPROX 60 MPH VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED THEN NOTED PLUME OF WHITE SMOKE EXITING FROM REAR I VEHICLE. UPON PULLING OVER A SMALL ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE WAS NOTED AN EASILY EXTINGUISHED. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION RIDE SIDE OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS NOTES TO BE COVERED IN TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS WAS RIGHT SIDE ONLY FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED TRANSMISSION FLUID COMING FROM RIGHT SIDED TRANSMISSION BREATHER TUBE JUST BEHIND DIPSTICK ON RIGHT SIDE. CAUSE ON FLUID DISCHARGE APPEARS TO BE AN OVER HEATING OR PRESSURIZATION OF TRANSMISSION CASE AS THERE ARE NO OTHER PORTS OF EXIT. TRAMS CASE IS INTACT AND AREAS AROUND TRANSMISSION ARE DRY FREE OF DEBRIS OR EVIDENCE OF LEAKAGE. FLUID LEVEL PRIOR TO EVENT WAS CORRECT AND NO POSSIBILITY OF OVER FILLING AS FLUID LEVEL WAS INSPECTED ON REGULAR BASIS. CONTACT DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY TRANSMISSION FLUIDS ARE CAPABLE OF CAUSING FIRE. DEALER STATED ALSO NO POSSIBLE WAY FLUID COULD BE COMING FROM BREATHER TUBE. THEY DID OFFER A QUOTE FOR REPAIR OF $3800 TO $4000 TO REPAIR PROBLEM. THIS ALL WAS DONE WITHOUT OFFERING TO EVEN INSPECT THE VEHICLE. *TR
