FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WHEN I FILL UP THE TANK. RESULT IS GAS SOAKED HAND, PANTS AND SHOES WITH SPILLAGE ON THE GROUND AT THE PUMP AND GAS RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THIS HAS GOT TO BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE! *TR
I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR RUBICON MODEL THAT CHRYSLER'S RECENTLY RELEASED TSB TO REPLACE GAS TANKS DUE TO FUEL TANK OVERFLOW AND SPILLAGE DOES NOT COVER. MY BUILD DATE IS 11-06 AND IS PRIOR TO THE 3-07 BEGINNING BUILD DATE THAT CHRYSLER WILL REPAIR. I HAVE THIS FUEL OVERFLOW AND SPILLAGE PROBLEM EVERY TIME I FILL UP. FIRST I WOULD DO EVERYTHING TO AVOID SPILLING FUEL FOR MY AND OTHERS SAFETY HOWEVER AFTER BEING LEFT OUT OF THE TSB FROM CHRYSLER AND YOU ALL CLOSING THE CASE ON THE INCIDENT I FEEL COMPLETELY DISENFRANCHISED AND I HAVE DECIDED TO LET YOU KNOW THE SERIOUSNESS AND NEED FOR THIS TO EXPEDITED THAT I WILL NO LONGER BE CAREFUL AND I WILL ALLOW THIS PROBLEM TO OCCUR EVERYTIME I FILL UP. THIS OPINION IS SHARED BY MANY OTHERS AND OUR IDEA IS WE ARE GOING TO GIVE THIS PROBLEM EVERY CHANCE OF BEING AS DISASTROUS AS POSSIBLE TO GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. I KNOW THIS TACTIC IS NOT SAFE OR RESPONSIBLE HOWEVER NEITHER IS WHAT HAS BEEN DONE WIT THIS SITUATION ALL TOGETHER. HOPEFULLY THIS DANGEROUS AND AGGRAVATING SITUATION CAN BE RESOLVED QUICKLY. *TR
GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN GAS PUMP IS LEFT IN AUTOMATIC POSITION. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR MY YEAR AND MODEL OF VEHICLE, BUT IT'S NOT WITHIN THE MANUFACTURE DATE OF THE RECALL. THERE ARE MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I AM A FIREFIGHTER, SO I DO REALIZE THAT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE MANUFACTURE DATE IS 12/06. *TR
BROKEN CLOCKSPRING/ AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. AIRBAGS LIKELY TO NOT WORK-(HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE TO FIND OUT YET)- NOT COVERED?- WARRANTY EXPIRED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK 2 DOOR 50,000 MILES. *TR
I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER THAT WAS MANUFACTURED IN FEBRUARY OF 2007. EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE FUEL OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS OUT OF THE NOZZLE, CREATING A HAZARDOUS PUDDLE OF FLAMMABLE GASOLINE ON THE FENDER, THE TIRE, THE GROUND, AND THE PERSON FUELING IT(ME). *TR
WHILE FUELING, THE GAS TANK AND VENT PIPE CAUSE BACK PRESSURE RESULTING IN FUEL SPRAY AND OVERFLOW. THE OVERFLOW CAN COVER THE PERSON FILLING IN FUEL AND SPILL UP TO A GALLON OF GASOLINE ON THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. *TR
WHEN GOING AROUND 45 MPH OR HIGHER, WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP THE FRONT END SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY CAUSING ALMOST ALL LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. *TR
GAS TANK OVERFLOWS ON EVERY SINGLE FILL UP AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. *TR
2007 JEEP WRANGLER GAS TANK OVERFLOWS DURING/ AFTER REFUELING ( SURGE OF FUEL) HAPPENS EVERY TIME TOPS OF TANKS. *TR
MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X HAS EXPERIENCED WHAT SOME ARE CALLING "DEATH WOBBLE". A VIOLENT UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING OF THE FRONT WHEELS WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45MPH. WHEN THE WHEELS ENCOUNTER A BUMP, EVEN THE SLIGHTEST, IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND WILL NOT STOP SHAKING UNTIL I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS ON THE INTERSTATE AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS COLLISIONS. THIS OCCURRED OVER 40 TIMES BEFORE I COULD SOLVE THE ISSUE. AFTER INSTALLING AN AFTERMARKET HEAVY DUTY FRONT TRACK BAR, THE WOBBLE CEASED TO EXIST. MY EVALUATION: THE FRONT TRACK BAR THAT COMES STANDARD EQUIPPED ON THE JK-CHASSIS WRANGLER IS NOT SUITABLE FOR SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 45MPH AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH A STRONGER ONE BEFORE SERIOUS DAMAGE CAN OCCUR TO OWNERS, THEIR VEHICLES AND PASSENGERS, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. *TR
DEATHNWOBBLE. *TR
07 JEEP WRANGLER JUMPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR INTERMITTENTLY. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL WOULD SPILL BACK OUT WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000.
MY JEEP GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING THE TANK AT THE GAS STATION. *TR
ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO FUEL STARTING SPILLING OUT OF VEHICLE DURING RE-FUELING. *TR
1) I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X WITH 8,650 MILES ON THE VEHICLE IN 2008, KEPT THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS, AND IT NOW HAS 43,000 MILES. THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE OTHER THAN STANDARD SAFE DRIVING PRACTICES. 2) THE FAILURE IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AND IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON VARIOUS WEBSITES. THE "DEATH WOBBLE" OCCURS ANYTIME THE VEHICLE REACHES 50 MPH, AND WILL CONTINUE AS THE SPEED RISES OR FALLS. 3) THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED IN MY JEEP YET, IT IS BEING TAKEN IN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC TO BE FIXED. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GAIN ASSISTANCE FROM JEEP (TO INCLUDE WRITING A LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF JEEP) WITH AN APPALLING AND INSULTING RESPONSE. *LN
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON 2-DOOR AND EVERY TIME I FILL GASOLINE IT SPEWS OUT EVERYWHERE AND THIS DOES NOT MATTER HOW FAST THE FLOW OF GAS IS OR AT WHAT DEPTH THE PUMP HANDLE IS. IT IS ENOUGH GAS TO COME UP AND OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE RUN DOWN MY REAR QUARTER PANEL AND MAKE A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. NOT A SAFE SITUATION WITH THE UNCONTROLLABLE DISCHARGE OF A HIGHLY FLAMMABLE LIQUID. *TR
MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER OVERFILLS WHEN EVER I ADD GAS. THIS RESULTS IN SOMETIMES SPRAYING ON ME BUT, ALWAYS SPILLING OVER ONTO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. *TR
FILLING THE FUEL TANK TILL THE PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY WILL RESULT IN A FUEL SPILL. THIS CONDITION HAS EXISTING SINCE NEW. RATE OF OCCURRENCE IS APPROXIMATELY 8 OUT OF 10 FILLINGS. RESULTING SPILL IS SUFFICIENT TO WET THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, LEFT END OF REAR BUMPER, AND THE GROUND BELOW THE FILL PORT. SPILL QUANTITY ESTIMATED AT APPROXIMATELY 8 - 10 OUNCES OF FUEL EACH OCCURRENCE. *TR
07 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR RUBICON SPILLS GAS AT EVERY FILL UP OF THE TANK BEFORE THE PUMP NOZZLE CLICKS OFF. SPILL DOWN REAR OF JEEP AND MAKES A PUDDLE ON GROUND. *TR
FUEL OVERFLOW BEGINNING AT 32,345 MILES ON AN 07 JEEP WRANGLER X MODEL. *TR
ABOUT 1 OUT OF EVERY 2 TIMES I REFUEL MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X, IT DOESN'T SENSE THAT IT IS FULL AND OVERFLOWS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, GROUND, AND MYSELF. NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, MY PAINT, AND MY EXPOSURE TO GASOLINE ON MY SKIN. *TR
JEEP IS A 2007 WRANGLER. WHEN FILLING UP, GASOLINE OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK JUST AS THE TANK GETS FULL. STARTED AT ABOUT 27K MILES. JEEP NOW HAS 28,500 MILES. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE FUEL TANK STARTS OUT EMPTY OR IF IT IS HALF FULL. IT SPILLS OUT EVERY TIME NOW. THE GAS SPILLS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND RUNS ONTO THE GROUND. THIS CAN'T BE GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. IN ADDITION I GET GASOLINE ON MY HANDS WHICH IS NOT HEALTHY. *TR
WHEN REFUELING, WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF, FUEL SPLASHES OUT OF THE FILL NECK. THIS HAPPENS ON EACH FILL UP. *TR
2007 JEEP WRANGLER. GAS OVERFLOWS WHEN REFUELING. IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU JUST LET THE PUMP CLICK OFF WHEN FULL. I HAVE NEVER TRIED TO OVERFILL IT, OR "TOP IT OFF". YOU SIMPLY FILL UNTIL THE PUMP CLICKS, AND THEN A FAIR AMOUNT OF FUEL SEEMS TO BUBBLE BACK OUT. IT RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THEN LEAVES A FAIRLY LARGE PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 2-1/2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP (23,000 MILES) NOW IT IS JUST ABOUT EVERY FILL UP. *TR
STARTING FROM THE FIRST TIME I FILLED MY GAS TANK ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR XS PACKAGE, EVERY TIME I FILL OR COME CLOSE TO FILLING THE GAS TANK AND THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF THE FUEL SPILLS/ AND OR SPRAYS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLING TUBE. MANY TIMES IT HAS SPRAYED ME OR WHOEVER IS PUMPING THE GAS. *TR
FUEL OVERFLOWS OUT OF TANK. *TR
2007 JEEP WRANGLER X FUEL SPITS BACK WHEN FILLING. STARTED AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES. *TR
1) THIS FAILURE HAPPENS AT THE END OF REFUELING MY GAS TANK. JUST ABOUT THE TIME THE TANK HITS THE FULL POINT. 2) THE FAILURE IS THAT THE GAS SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN THE TANK HITS THE FULL MARK. THIS CAUSES THE ENTIRE SIDE OF THE CAR AND BUMPER TO BE COVERED IN GASOLINE AS WELL AS MY HANDS AND CLOTHING 3) SO FAR NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM OTHER THAN JUST NOT FILLING THE TANK TO FULL. *TR
WHEN REFUELING MY VEHICLE, GASOLINE SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AND ON TO THE VEHICLE AND THE PERSON REFUELING. *TR
WHEN FILLING UP 2007 JEEP WRANGLER FUEL SPILLS EVERYWHERE WHEN THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. THE HAPPENS EVERY TIME WHEN FILLING THE TANK. *TR
EVERY TIME I REFUEL MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER, FUEL SPILLS. WHEN THE TANK IS "FULL" THE GAS PUMP "KICKS" OFF AND FUEL GUSHES FROM FUEL FILLER... IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE I GET FUEL OR HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN TANK WHEN I BEGIN FILLING... IT ALWAYS SPILLS... *TR
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK USING THE AUTO SHUTOFF ON THE PUMP HANDLE, THE GAS TANK SHOOTS GAS OUT ALL OVER JUST AFTER THE AUTO SHUTOFF CLICKS OFF. IT HAS SPRAYED ON ME AND THE GROUND AND THE VEHICLE. *TR
2007 JEEP WRANGLER JUST BEFORE FUEL NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF WHILE REFUELING VEHICLE, GAS FLOWS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ON TO THE GROUND. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I REFUEL, AT ANY GAS STATION DOESN'T MATTER WHICH SUPPLIER. *TR
WHEN FUELING UP THE VEHICLE, WHEN THE AUTO SHUT OFF TURNS THE PUMP OFF THE FUEL OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE FUEL PORT. EVEN WHEN SLOW PUMPING IT STILL OVERFLOWS. *TR
MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER HAS ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED SPEWING FUEL FROM THE GAS TANK EACH TIME I FILL UP. I DON'T TRY TO TOP OFF THE GAS TANK. BASICALLY, THE PUMP CLICKS, AND THEN WHEN I REMOVE THE NOZZLE FROM THE TANK, FUEL STARTS SPEWING ALL OVER. IT GOT ON MY HANDS AND SHOES, AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP. THIS NOW SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME I FILL UP. *TR
STARTING IN LATE 2008, WHEN REFUELING MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK, THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF AT GAS PUMPS DOESN'T SHUT OFF WHEN MY TANK IS FULL CAUSING FUEL TO OVERFLOW AND OCCASIONAL SPLASH OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK OF THE VEHICLE. IF I DO NOT SHUT OFF THE GAS PUMP MANUALLY BEFORE IT IS FULL, THIS HAS OCCURRED EVERY TIME I PUT FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE HAS RESULTED IN MINOR TO SIGNIFICANT FUEL SPILLAGE INCLUDING SOAKING MY HANDS AND FEET IN FUEL AT VARIOUS TIMES. OTHER THAN MONITORING AND STOPPING THE PUMP DURING REFUELING, I HAVE TAKEN NO ACTION TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *TR
WHEN FILLING UP MY FUEL TANK ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AT ANY GAS STATION AN ALARMING AMOUNT OF GASOLINE GUSHES OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK AFTER THE FUEL PUMP HAS AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. I DO NOT RECALLING THIS HAPPENING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, IT'S ONLY RECENTLY THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED. PROBABLY STARTED AROUND 8 MONTHS AGO. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE GAS PUMP SPECIFIC, I'VE TRIED APPROXIMATELY 20 DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS OVER THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING. FUEL SPILLS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND AND ALSO MYSELF. SOMETIMES TO THE POINT THAT I'VE HAD TO CHANGE CLOTHES DUE TO FUEL SPLASHING ONTO MY GARMENTS. *TR
GAS OVERFLOW WHEN FILLING TANK, SPILLS ON GROUND CONTAMINATE OR SAFETY CANCER OR FIRE, EPA CONCERNS OF EVERY NEW WRANGLER SPILLS THAT IS GALLONS OF GAS WASTED OR CONTAMINATING ACROSS THE USA EPA GET INVOLVED PLEASE , EVERY TIME FILLING UP JEEP WRANGLER 2007!!!! IT SPILLS!!! *TR
EVERYTIME I FILL THE TANK IT "SPITS BACK" GAS. NO MATTER HOW SLOW OR WHAT STATION I GO TO. IT WAS FINE UNTIL ABOUT 40K MILES. NOW IT IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DOOR 1) NEARLY EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, WHICH HOLDS 15 - 16 GALLONS PER MY ESTIMATE AND FILL-UP HISTORY, IT OVERFLOWS (I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 13 MONTHS, FILL UP TWICE A WEEK; 56 WEEKS X 2 = 112 * 0.90 = 100 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED). THE OVERFLOW IS NOT BECAUSE THE TANK IS OVER-FILLED, AS IT IS POSSIBLE, IN MY EXPERIENCE, TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL GALLON AFTER INITIAL OVERFLOW. 2) THE MECHANISM THAT SHUTS OFF THE PUMP HANDLE AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS BECOMING FULL DOES NOT STOP THE PUMP. THIS RESULTS IN EXCESS FUEL ENDING UP ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY CAR, THE ATTACHED GAS CAP, AND ONE'S SHOES AND PERSON IF ONE IS NOT EXPECTING THE FUEL TO SPIT BACK OUT. 3) NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AS OF YET TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. *TR
WHEN FILLING GAS ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE GAS NOZZLE WILL CLICK OFF AT FULL. AND THEN 2-3 SECONDS LATTER APROX. ONE QUART OF GAS WILL SPILL OUT OF THE FILLER NECK DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP ONTO THE GROUND. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS. *TR
FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER PORT DURING FUELING. IT HAPPENS WHEN FILLING THE TANK TO FULL. WHEN THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OR CLICKS OFF, FUEL SPILLS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE OR SHOOTS FROM THE FILL OR NOZZLE. THIS COVERS THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND, AND SOMETIMES THE PERSON FUELING IF STANDING NEARBY. ISSUE HAS OCCURRED AT MANY DIFFERENT PUMPS. ISSUE BEGAN AT APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES (REACHED IN APPROX 2008) AND HAS CONTINUED EVER SINCE. *TR
MANUAL TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY SINCE DAY ONE OF OWNERSHIP. IT HAS BEEN SERVICED BY 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND REMAINS PROBLEMATIC AND DANGEROUS. AT THE CURRENT TIME IT IS HARD TO SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR AND "POPS" OUT OF FIRST GEAR. *TR
WHILE FILLING FUEL TANK, FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FILLER NECK AFTER FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF. *TR
GAS TANK OVERFLOW DURING FILL UP. THIS OCCURS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL TO FULL. I HAVE STOPPED FILLING THE TANK TO FULL TO HELP STOP THIS ISSUE. *TR
GAS OVERFLOWS TANK @ ALMOST EVERY FILL-UP. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND SHUT OFF WHEN THE HORN BEGAN TO SOUND. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES, THE HORN STOPPED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE SEAT BELT LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE AND ALARM SYSTEM WOULD SOUND INTERMITTENTLY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 45,000.
EVERYTIME I REFUEL, GASOLINE WILL OVERFLOW AND SPILL ONTO THE GROUND. THE PUMP WILL NOT STOP THE FLOW OF FUEL IN TIME TO PREVENT SPILLAGE. I'VE TRIED TO SLOW THE FLOW AS IT NEARS A FULL TANK, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED. THE ONLY THING THAT WILL STOP THE FUEL FROM OVERFLOWING IS SIMPLY NOT FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY FULL. I HAVE TO STOP AT ABOUT 7/8THS. *TR
WHEN YOU FILL UP, AFTER THE PUMP CLICKS OFF, LOTS OF GAS POURS BACK OUT OF THE TANK. IT COULD RUN DOWN NEAR THE MUFFLER AND IGNITE. NOT TO MENTION THE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF GASOLINE ON AND IN THE GROUND. *TR
