2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-Dr 4x4 complaints

DURING THE LAST 6 FUEL FILL-UPS, FUEL IS EJECTED FROM THE FILLER TUBE OF MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA. THIS IS DURING A NORMAL FILL-UP, NOT TOP OFF.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA WITH 56,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER OF 2009 USED. THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, I WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL THE TANK. I PLACED THE NOZZLE IN THE FILLER TUBE AND SET THE PUMP TO AUTO FILL. ONCE THE TANK WAS FILLED COMPLETELY, THE PUMP CLICKED OFF AND THE FUEL TANK THEN "BURPED" ABOUT 1 PINT OF FUEL OUT. AT TIMES, THE FUEL COMES OUT VIGOROUSLY IN A SPRAY MAKING IT EVEN MORE FLAMMABLE AND COVERING ME AND THE VEHICLE. I HAVE GONE TO MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SINCE AND HAVE THE PROBLEM EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. THE PROBLEM ALSO OCCURS WHEN I HOLD THE PUMP AND TRY TO LIMIT THE FUEL FLOW. HERE IS A VIDEO OF THE ISSUE (NOT MY JEEP) HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=ZOUVOKEOLO8 THERE ARE HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE ONLY DEALER RECOMMEND FIX IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK WHICH IS A COSTLY REPAIR FOR WHAT I FELL IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

FUEL SPILLS ON FILL-UP. FUEL DISPENSER AT SERVICE STATIONS WILL NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WITH MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. PROBLEM STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 43000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *TR

WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK AT A MAJOR GAS SUPPLIERS STATION THE NOZZLE SHUTOFF (CLICKED) INDICATING THE TANK WAS FULL THEN THE TANK BURPED GAS OUT AROUND THE NOZZLE. IT SPLASHED DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE BUMPER. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN FILLING THE TANK. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK SAHARA - EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, THE PUMP WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF UNTIL THE GAS OVERFLOWS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH QUITE A FEW OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND THEY ARE ALL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE THAT IS SPILLED ONTO THE GROUND AND COULD LEAD TO A FIRE. THE DEALER INDICATES THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK AT MY EXPENSE. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS FACT DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND AFFECTS OTHER OWNERS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED - FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT OR ABOVE 55 MPH AFTER HITTING SMALL BUMP IN ROAD. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY, FEELS LIKE WHEELS ARE GOIGN TO FALL OFF OR CAR WILL FLIP OVER - COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL UNLESS YOU SLOW DOWN TO 35MPH - WHICH IS NOT EASY TO DO ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. THIS OCCURS ALMOST DAILY. TO DATE WE HAVE REPLACED THE TRACK BAR, REPLACED THE TIRES, HAD THE VEHICLE RE-ALLIGNED AND TIRES BALANCED. NEXT STEP IS TO REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER. SO FAR NO PERMANENT FIXES. *TR

GASOLINE SPRAYS FROM THE FUEL FILLER DURING REFUELING ON A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED CREATING A FIRE HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION. THIS ISSUE OCCURS NEARLY EVERY WEEKLY FILL-UP AND IS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. *TR

STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED AT AROUND 50K MILES. WHEN FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION ON A TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS. WHEN THE AUTO SHUTOFF AT THE PUMPED CLICKED OFF THE GAS CAME SPEWING OUT OF THE FILE HOLE. I CONSIDERED IT A ONE TIME FLUKE AND THAT POSSIBLY THE GAS PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE. AS TIME WENT ON IT DID NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I WENT TO THE PROBLEM OCCURRED MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. NOW THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID AN OVERFLOW IS TO STOP FILLING AT AROUND 15 GALLONS AND SLOWLY TOP OFF THE TANK BY CAREFULLY LISTENING FOR THE FUEL LEVEL AND EASING THE FUEL INTO THE TANK. MY CONCERN IS THE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLING OUT ON THE PAVEMENT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ONE SPARK COULD BE DISASTROUS FOR MYSELF OF SOMEONE WHO FOLLOWS ME AT THE PUMP. I HAVE READ WHERE MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL ARE EXPERIENCING A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

STARTING ABOUT 12-15 GAS FILL-UPS AGO, MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4X4 RUBICON STARTED TO EJECT FUEL OUT OF THE GAS FILLER TUBE ABOUT A SECOND AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. I HAVE NOT CHANGED ANY PROCEDURE DURING FILL-UPS AND HAVE USED THE SAME GAS PUMPS AND GAS STATIONS FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS -- THIS STARTED OUT OF THE BLUE. WHEN THE GAS OVERFLOWS, IT EJECTS WITH ENOUGH PRESSURE TO COVER THE GAS CAP HANGING BELOW WITH GAS, AND SATURATES THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND BUMPER, DROPPING A GOOD AMOUNT OF GAS ON THE GROUND (PROBABLY ABOUT A 2.5 - 3 FOOT RADIUS OF A PUDDLE). THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, MY HAND WAS COVERED IN GAS, AND I ESTIMATE ABOUT A HALF GALLON OF GAS WAS EJECTED. IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME DURING A FILL-UP UNLESS I STOP THE GAS PUMP BEFORE THE TANK IS CLOSE TO FULL. I HAVE LISTENED ATTENTIVELY DURING A FEW FILL-UPS, AND HAVE SHUT OFF THE PUMP ONCE I HEAR A CHANGE IN SOUND THAT THE TANK IS NEAR FULL -- AND THIS STILL RESULTS IN FUEL EJECTING FROM THE FILLER TUBE, BUT JUST NOT AS MUCH. I CAN NO LONGER RELY ON THE PUMP AUTO SHUT OFF EVEN AT LOW FILLING SPEEDS, AND I CAN NO LONGER FILL THE TANK TO IT'S PREVIOUSLY NORMALLY FULL CAPACITY. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS, NOT ONLY TO ME AND MY PASSENGERS, BUT THE OTHER PATRONS AROUND ME -- NOT TO MENTION THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE GAS SPILLS. THERE ARE NO KNOWN FIXES, AND IT APPEARS, ACCORDING TO JEEP FORUMS, THAT THIS IS BECOMING A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, WITH THE LATEST UPDATES THAT CHRYSLER COMP

FILLED UP MY '07 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4-DOOR TODAY AND GAS CAME POURING OUT OF THE JEEP AFTER THE PUMP NOZZLE CLICKED OFF. HAPPENED LAST FILL UP TOO, BUT NEVER BEFORE. *TR

JEEP 07 WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED FOUR DOOR. FRONT TRACK BAR BRACKET FAILURE. THE METAL IS VERY THIN AND VERY POORLY WELDED, ON THE OUTSIDE ONLY. THIS LEADS TO WEAKNESS AND FAILURE, PARTICULARLY UNDER HIGH STRESS DRIVING MANEUVERS SUCH AS HEAVY BRAKING ON A DOWNHILL CORNER, DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE, HITTING POTHOLES OR SPEED BUMPS. ONCE SEPARATED, THE FRONT AXLE THEN FOLLOWS WHATEVER GROOVE EXERTS THE MOST FORCE, CREATING A DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK USING THE AUTO SHUT-OFF FEATURE OF THE GAS PUMP, NOT TOPPING OFF, THE GAS GUSHES OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. EVERY SINGLE TIME SINCE ABOUT 35000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. GAS GOES EVERYWHERE. ABOUT A QUART I'D SAY HITS THE GROUND. SINCE THE JEEP IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I JUST LIVE WITH IT. I STILL FILL UP BUT I ONLY PUT IN A FEW GALLONS AT A TIME, STOP, PULL THE NOZZLE OUT, AND PUT IN A FEW MORE. GAS STILL COMES OUT BUT NOT AS MUCH. *TR

STARTING A FEW MONTHS AGO MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 51000 MILES, STARTED TO HAVE ISSUES WHEN REFUELING. WHEN FILING UP THE TANK, SHORTLY AFTER THE AUTO SHUT-OFF KICKS IN, GAS WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER. THIS ISSUE JUST STARTED AND APPEARS TO HAPPEN AT ALL GAS STATIONS. I CURRENTLY DO NOT FILL MY UP JEEP ALL THE WAY TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING, BUT THIS IS A PRETTY BIG SAFETY CONCERN. MY WIFE WILL NOT GET GAS IN THIS CAR DUE TO THIS ISSUE AS WELL. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS ONLINE, IT APPEARS THERE ARE MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS (2007 AND NEWER) WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. SOME DEALERS ARE REPLACING THE GAS TANKS, BUT MOST ARE NOT ADMITTING THERE IS ANY ISSUE. DUE TO THIS BEING A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, I WANTED THIS REPORTED AND MAYBE THERE COULD BE A RECALL. *TR

GAS TANK ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED STARTED OVERFLOWING AT GAS PUMPS ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4 DOOR. WHEN I FILL IT UP WITH GAS THE PUMP CLICKS OFF THEN A SECOND OR 2 LATER IT SHOOTS GAS BACK OUT OF THE FILL TUBE FROM MY JEEP. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR SOME TIME NOW. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED FUEL OVERFLOW CUT OFF DOES NOT WORK. EVERY TIME I PUMP GAS AND FILL UP WITH THE AUTOMATIC FUEL TRIGGER ENGAGED, THE CUT OFF DOES NOT PREVENT FUEL FROM SURGING OUT OF THE OVERFLOW AND THE MOUTH OF THE GAS TANK SPILLING IT ON THE GROUND. I HAVE TO SLOWLY PUMP THE LAST GALLON TO FILL UP OR ELSE IT WILL OVERFLOW. THERE ARE MULTIPLE DATES OF INCIDENT. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE TANK OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE SPOUT BEFORE SHUTTING OFF THE PUMP. FUEL SPRAYS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND, AND THE PERSON STANDING NEAR THE SPOUT. THIS CREATES A FIRE HAZARD AND HEALTH HAZARD. THIS OCCURS AT EVERY FILL-UP. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP JK WRANGLER 4 DOOR. WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK UP, IT WILL NOT STOP ON ITS OWN. IT OVERFLOWS A LOT OF GASOLINE DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. IT SPILLS QUITE A BIT OF GASOLINE AND LEAVES QUITE A BIG PUDDLE. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, 44,000 MILES, ALL THE BALL JOINT WENT BAD. JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE FILLING VEHICLE AT GAS STATION PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF WHEN TANK FILLS AND DUMPS GAS ONTO VEHICLE AND GROUND. *TR

GAS TANK OVERFILLS AND GETS GAS ALL OVER VEHICLE AND GROUND. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL UP AND STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 40K MILES. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN THE TANK IT OVERFILLS AND SPILLS ALL OVER CAR, GROUND, PUMP AND ME.....HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE I HIT 30-32K MILES AND NOW I HAVE 37K MILES (PAST WARRANTY OF COURSE). I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT STATIONS IN DIFFERENT CITIES ALL SAME PROBLEM. DEALER WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE UNLESS I PAY THEM FOR AN INSPECTION ETC... *TR

WHEN PUMPING FULL INTO MY 2007 JK WRANGLER UNLIMITED, THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF RIGHT AWAY AND A GREAT DEAL OF FULL SPILLS ON THE GROUND. *TR

GAS TANK CONTINUALLY OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING. IF I STOP THE PUMP PRIOR TO BEING FULL A SECOND OR TWO LATER THE GAS COMES POURING BACK UP THE FILLER TUBE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND TO MY UNDERSTANDING IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. IN ADDITION TO THE DANGER OF THIS I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT WITH THIS AS WELL. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE'S GAS TANK THE GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE GAS TANK BEFORE THE GASOLINE PUMP SHOTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THE AMOUNT OF GAS COMING OUT IS SIGNIFICANT. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK FROM EMPTY TO FULL ON 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE DOES NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. CAUSING A DANGEROUS OVERFLOW THAT GETS ON THE PERSON, GROUND AND THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. THIS STARTED ON ABOUT 9/01/09. I BOUGHT THE JEEP NEW IN 05/01/07. THE MILEAGE IS 54,000 ON IT NOW. *TR

I HAVE AN 07 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. HAD IT FOR OVER 2YRS. EVERYTIME SINCE I BOUGHT IT, WHEN I GO TO FUEL UP, THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS. I'VE RESORTED TO NEVER FILLING COMPLETELY UP. WHEN IT DOES OVERFLOW, ABOUT HALF A GALLON OF GAS POURS OUT. I JUST PUT THE DATE THAT IT STARTED IN THE COLUMN BELOW. *TR

GAS OVERFLOW IN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY JEEP REGARDLESS OF HOW EMPTY OR FULL, GAS OVERFLOWS AND RUNS OUT OF THE FILL TUBE. *TR

WHEN PUMPING GAS INTO MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED IT HAS STARTED OVER FILLING EVERYTIME I PUT GAS IN IT. QUITE A BIT OF GAS SPEWS OUT AND GETS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND I HOPE THAT CHRYSLER IS PLANNING A RECALL OR HAS A FIX BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED - FUEL BLOWBACK FROM JEEP WHEN PUMP SHUTS OFF DURING FILLUP. *TR

NORMAL VEHICLE USE. NO VISIBLE FAILURE, HOWEVER THE FUEL TANK HAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE/DEFECT THAT DOES NOT ALLOW THE AIR TO VENT DURING FILLING OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS CAUSES THE FUEL TO SHOOT OUT OF THE FILLER CAP DURING NORMAL FILLING, SPILLING APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART OF GASOLINE ON THE BUMPER AND GROUND. IT OCCURS DURING EVERY FILL UP AT ANY GAS STATION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID NOTHING AND INFORMED ME IF I WANTED IT TO WORK PROPERLY I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE AN ENTIRE NEW GAS TANK. VEHICLE IS JUST 2 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 60,000 MILES. I EXPRESSED SAFETY CONCERNS AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT CARE. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY FOR PAST FOUR TIMES !!! GAS TANK IS NOT CUTTING OFF THE FUEL, AND OVERSPILLING GAS OUT OF THE NECK ONTO ME, JEEP AND GAS STATION FLOOR. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON, IT OVERFILLS SPILLING GAS. THE PUMP CUTS OFF THEN THE GAS SPEWS BACK OUT. THE SPILL CREATES A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND UNDERNEATH THE JEEP AND COATS THE GAS PUMP HANDLE AND THE JEEP BODY AND BUMPER WITH GAS. *TR

I HAVE A JEEP JK WRANGLER 2007 UNLIMITED. I HAVE OWNED IT FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. I WAS FILLING MY GAS TANK AT MY REGULAR STATION AT MY REGULAR PUMP (I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN) AND WHEN THE TANK FILLED UP GAS BEGAN GUSHING OUT. I HAD TO MANUALLY SHUT OFF THE GAS NOZZLE AND GOT GAS ALL OVER ME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TRAGIC INCIDENT HAD A SPARK FLOWN FROM A CAR PASSING BY OR SOMEONE THROWN A CIGARETTE OUT THE WINDOW. I REALLY THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WAS LOOKING THROUGH SOME FORUMS I FREQUENT (WWW.JK-FORUM.COM) AND SAW THERE WAS A THREAD ON THIS EXACT SUBJECT. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF JEEP WRANGLER. PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE LOOK IN TO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT (IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY) IN THE MEANTIME, I'VE TRIED 2 DIFFERENT STATIONS AND IT'S OVERFLOWED ONE TIME AND THE OTHER TIME IT DID NOT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, KOLLINS BULL A CONCERNED CONSUMER *TR

I HAVE A PROBLEM WHERE MY GAS TANK HAS BEGUN SPEWING GAS OUT EVERYTIME I PUT GAS IN THE TANK. MY GRANDSON AND I WERE COVERED IN GAS WHILE WE WERE 4 TO 5 FEET AWAY. FROM INVESTIGATION MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 2007 JK OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT NEVER USE TO DO THIS AND SUDDENLY NOW IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME YOU GET FUEL. WE NEED HELP BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER OVERSPILLS 1/2 GALLON OF GASOLINE AT EVERY FILL-UP, CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, AS MANY WRANGLER OWNERS ON JK-FORUM.COM HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER: REAR TRACK BAR BRACKET WELDS BROKE, CREATING A DANGEROUS HANDLING AND SAFETY ISSUE. FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, COMMON FOR BOTH MODIFIED AND STOCK VEHICLES, BUT MORE SO ON VEHICLES WHICH HAVE HAD A LIFT KIT INSTALLED. WHILE THE PUSH BACK MAY BE THAT IT'S RARE ON STOCK VEHICLES, JEEPS ARE THE MOST COMMONLY AND EXTENSIVELY MODIFIED VEHICLES ON THE ROAD, AND JEEP CANNOT MAKE THE CLAIM THAT THEY ARE UNAWARE OF THIS FACT BASED ON MILLIONS OF MODIFIED JEEPS AND CHRYSLER'S INVOLVEMENT SELLING MODIFICATIONS AS WELL AS IN OFF ROAD ACTIVITIES FOR JEEPS. ADDITIONALLY, ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, CHRYSLER MODIFIED IT'S METHOD OF WELDING THE BRACKETS IN MID-08. *TR

1. NO INCIDENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE BEING ABLE TO DRIVE. 2. THIS IS THE 1ST OCCURRENCE. A LOCAL MECHANIC VERIFIED A CYLINDER WAS DROPPED AND ADVISED TO RETURN TO THE JEEP/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY WORK. THE VEHICLE IS A JEEP WRANGLER X UNLIMITED 4-DOOR 4X4. 3. 2 DAYS LATER, JEEP SAYS THERE IS "ENGINE FAILURE" WHEN THEY SAW THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 30 MPH (2 DAYS PRIOR). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE FIRE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. AN AUTHORIZED INSPECTOR DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AND SUBMITTED A NOTICE BY MAIL STATING THAT THERE WAS NO DEFECT AND NO REPAIRS WOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THE INSURANCE RENDERED THE VEHICLE A TOTAL LOST. VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND VIBRATING. THE WHEELS ALSO MOVED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT WHICH CAUSED THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THE INCIDENT OCCURRED, HE WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND A STEERING ARM DAMPER WITH AN OVERSIZED ONE. THE BRAKE LINES AND TRANSMISSION WERE ALSO REPAIRED. THE FAILURES RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE DEALER HAS UNSUCCESSFULLY MADE 15 ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAS REFUSED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE CONTACT HAS REQUESTED THAT THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER ALLOW HIM TO RETURN THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THEY AGREE THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT IS CERTAIN THAT THE FAILURE IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING EXCESSIVELY AND CONTINUED TO SHAKE WHILE SHE WAS PARKING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED FOR OVER A YEAR AND THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE ALSO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING; HOWEVER, SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE ARE NO RELATED RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START ON OCCASIONS. I WILL NOT KNOW WHEN THIS PROBLEM WILL OCCUR.I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FIVE (5) TIMES SINCE JULY 8, 2008 AFTER THEY HAVE TOLD ME THE SITUATION HAS BEEN REMEDIED. THE BATTERY AND STARTER HAVE BEEN CHANGED BEFORE JULY 8, 2009. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN 2008. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2007 JK WITH 3,000 MILES. FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, IT HAS HAD THE VIOLENT, SHAKING, UNCONTROLLABLE PROBLEM REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." ALTHOUGH THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON, I HARDLY THINK THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THREE DIFFERENT SUSPENSION SYSTEMS, HAVE ROTATED MY TIRED RELIGIOUSLY (EVERY OIL CHANGE), HAVE REPLACED THREE STEERING STABILIZERS, AND NOW I AM COMPLETELY AT A LOSS OF NEW IDEAS. I HAVE CHANGED BUSHINGS, BEARINGS, TIGHTENED THE TRACK BAR, AND TRIED EVERY DIFFERENT ADJUSTMENT TO THINK OF. NOTHING HAS WORKED. WHEN THE DEATH WOBBLE OCCURS, I AM COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS, NORMALLY MY WIFE AND MY FIVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOTHING TO OFFER, LOCAL SUSPENSION SHOPS ARE AT A LOSS, AND OBVIOUSLY MY EXPERIENCE PALES IN COMPARISON. THERE HAS TO BE SOME WAY TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL THE CONTACT SLOWED DOWN TO LESS THAN 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER, WHICH APPEARED TO HAVE REMEDIED THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

ON THURS JUNE 25 AT APX 1800 HRS BOTH HALVES OF THE FREEDOM TOP ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER FLEW OFF THE CAR AT 55 MPH. THE FIBERGLASS FAILED AND THE TOPS TORE AWAY FROM THE METAL LATCHES. I GOT FIBERGLASS IN MY EYES AND HURT MY NECK IN THE PROCESS. THE TOPS WERE FIRMLY SECURED AND HAD NOT BEEN OFF THE CAR IN AT LEAST SIX WEEKS. DURING THOSE SIX WEEKS I HAD DRIVEN IN EXCESS OF 55 MPH WITH OUT A PROBLEM HAD ANYONE BEEN DRIVING BEHIND ME THE CERTAINLY COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED. I RETRIEVED THE TOPS FROM THE HWY AND HAVE THEM AS EVIDENCE I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OR TAKE ANY KIND OF CORRECTIVE ACTION THE CAR HAS 40,000 MI ON IT. MY INSURANCE CO SAYS I AM NOT COVERED FOR THE DAMAGE. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED TOPS ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

I DRIVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4-DOOR. THE VERY FIRST WEEK I BOUGHT THE CAR (MARCH, 2007) I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE RADIO SHUT OFF, THE DASHBOARD POWERED OFF AND THE JEEP SEEMED TO LOSE POWER FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS AND THEN IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. I PULLED OVER, CALLED THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID A RECALL HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AND I SHOULD BE RECEIVING IT SHORTLY. WRONG! THE RECALL WAS FOR THE BRAKES. SINCE 2007, THE RADIO/DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CUTTING IN AND OUT ABOUT 10 TIMES A YEAR. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

I SEE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS LISTED HERE. THE WHOLE IP JUST BLANKS OUT AT RANDOM TIMES. I HAVE JUST SHY OF 50K MILES AND THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES. THE ENGINE KEEPS RUNNING AND THE CAR IS FUNCTIONAL BUT THE SPEEDO, TACH, ODOMETER AND ALL GAUGES GO BLANK, BUT ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. THEN EVERYTHING RESETS AND COMES BACK TO NORMAL. *TR

INSPECTION MECHANIC INFORMED THAT AT 48,000 MILES THE REAR ROTORS ARE WORN OUT. I CANNOT FIND ANY AFTER MARKET ROTORS ONLY MOPAR. THE FRONT ROTORS ARE GOOD AND THIS JUST SHOULD NOT BE. THE FRONT ROTORS SHOULD WEAR OUT FIRST SINCE THE FRONT SHOULD BE DOING MOST OF THE STOPPING AT LIKE 60 TO 70 PERCENT. *TR

A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4DR. 4X4 WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET INTO 1ST GEAR. OFTEN, WHEN STARTING OUT, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR INTO NEUTRAL UNDER LOAD, RESULTING IN AN UNSAFE AND STARTLING CONDITION. THIS OCCURS WITH ALL THREE DRIVERS IN THE HOUSE, AND ALSO WITH SOMEONE WHO BORROWED THE CAR. HOWEVER, THE DEALER CLAIMS NOT TO BE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, AND OFFERS THE CAR FOR PICK UP. I SEE BELOW THAT THERE IS A REQUEST FOR THE APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE, BUT THIS IS A RECURRING CONDITION. *TR

SEVERE WOBBLE AND OSCILLATION IN THE STEERING AND FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM. A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 35-70 MPH CAN INITIATE A SEVERE, VIOLENT SHAKING, AND A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. AFTER REPLICATING THE PROBLEM ON A PRIVATE ROAD, OBSERVERS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE NOTED THAT THE FRONT TIRES WOULD COMPLETELY LEAVE THE GROUND ON EACH OSCILLATION. MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS REPORT SIMILAR INCIDENTS. *TR
