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
Seats, Dec 29, 2010, crash
I WAS REAR ENDED AND PUSHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING A JEEP FOUR DOOR AND MY HEAD HIT THE HEAD REST WHICH IS VERY HARD. I HAVE HAD HEADACHES EVER SINCE AND THE SEAT BELT LOCKED DOWN SO TIGHT THAT MY SHOULDER HAS HURT EVER SINCE, NO BROKEN BONES, BUT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. I KNOW FOR A FACT THE HEADRESTS NEED TO BE EVALUATED ON THEIR SAFETY! I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE JEEP PLACE FOR ANOTHER RECALL AND THAT IS WHEN I AM GOING TO DISCUSS THE HARD HEADRESTS AGAIN. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 29, 2010
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 system, Gasoline, Dec 29, 2010
FUEL SPILLS OUT OF MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WHEN I FILL UP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE JEEP UP. THIS CONDITION GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO THE FULL OR NEARLY FULL LEVEL AND THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OR CLICKS OFF. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 27, 2010
EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED WITH GASOLINE, GASOLINE EXITS THE TANK THROUGH THE FILLER TUBE AND SPLASHES ON THE GROUND LEAVING A POTENTIAL FOR FIRE. THIS HAPPENS AT PUMPS AT DIFFERENT STATIONS IN DIFFERENT STATES, DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF FUEL WITHIN BEFORE FUELING, AND REGARDLESS OF PLACEMENT OF THE FILLING HANDLE OF THE PUMP. THE VEHICLE WORKED AS IT SHOULD FOR THE FIRST 25K MILES AND WILL NOT FILL CORRECTLY SINCE THAT TIME WITHOUT LEAVING FUEL ON THE GROUND. THIS IS MY SECOND 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AND BOTH HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MILEAGE. EACH VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH THE CORRECT GASOLINE AS PRESCRIBED BY THE MANUAL AND ALL MAINTENANCE WAS DONE AT A 5 STAR JEEP DEALER ON BOTH. THERE APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE GAS SYSTEM.
Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 27, 2010
WHEN REFUELING, AS YOU NEAR FULL, THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF, AND YOU WILL GET A BIG SPLASH BACK OF GASOLINE( ABOUT 2-5 CUPS). IT WILL SPLASH BACK ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND RUBBER FENDER AND REAR PLASTIC BUMPER. EVEN IF YOU TRY TO GUESS WHEN ITS NEARING FULL, IT STILL SEEMS TO BE SOME BACK SPLASH WHEN YOU SHUT IT OFF NEAR FULL

FUEL OVERFLOWS OUT OF TANK. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 24, 2010
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH FUEL, THE TANK DOES NOT PROPERLY VENT CAUSING FUEL TO SPURT OUT THE FILLER NECK AS IT APPROACHES FULL. THE GAS SPURTS ON THE VEHICLE'S 1/4 PANEL, ON THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW DURING THE LAST SEVERAL FILL UPS. YOU MUST ALSO FILL SLOWLY OR THE GAS NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AS IF THE TANK IS FULL. I HAVE AN EXTENSIVE AUTOMOTIVE BACKGROUND AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE TANK IS NOT PROPERLY VENTING. THIS OCCURS IN BOATS WHEN PERMANENT MOUNTED FUEL TANK VENT LINES BECOME BLOCKED OR COLLAPSE OVER TIME.

Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 24, 2010
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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING 70 MPH OR MORE OVER A ROAD BUMP, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE EXTREMELY HARD CAUSING THE CONTACT TO MOMENTARILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPERS, TIRES AND THE BALL JOINTS BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED IN REGARDS TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE HOW TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

WHILE FILLING FUEL TANK, AT ALMOST FULL OR FULL TANK, PUMP WILL SHUT OFF OR AUTO STOP, AND THEN FUEL WILL START TO SHOOT BACK OUT OF GAS FILLER AS ALMOST UNDER PRESSURE. SOMETIMES IT'S A FEW DROPS, BUT MORE OFTEN IT IS A LOT. IF YOUR NEARBY YOU WILL GET COVERED IN GAS, HAPPENS 4 OUT OF 5 TIMES WHILE FILLING UP NOW. I FEEL THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS MY JEEP AND ANYONE NEAR IT DURING FILL UP CAN END UP COVERED IN GAS

Steering, Suspension, Wheels, Dec 13, 2010
DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, AND THE FRONT END BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I STARTED PULLING OVER AND WHEN I GOT DOWN TO 35 MPH, THE SHAKING STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITHOUT INCIDENCE, AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY. THIS WAS A STOCK JEEP BOUGHT NEW WITHOUT ANY AFTER-MARKET ALTERATIONS WITH ONLY 52K MILES. I TOOK IT INTO MIDAS, AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW STEERING STABILIZER. THEY REPLACED IT, AND IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC, AND THEY REPLACED TRACKBAR, BUT IT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK TO MIDAS, AND THEY PUT ANOTHER NEW STABILIZER, STILL HAD THE PROBLEM WITH EVER-INCREASING FREQUENCY. I PUT NEW TIRES ON THE CAR, AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT 20K MILES. AT 73K, THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. THIS TIME I TOOK IT THE JEEP DEALER. THEY KNEW WHAT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WAS, AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK EVERYTHING. THEY REPORTED BACK THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE COMPONENTS, AND SUGGESTED I GET THE TIRES BALANCED AGAIN. I GOT THE TIRES BALANCED AND TOOK IT BACK A WEEK LATER TO THE DEALER AS THE PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING WITH MORE FREQUENCY, AND NOW WAS OCCURRING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 45-55 MPH. I SUGGESTED A PARTICULAR PATCH OF HIGHWAY FOR A TEST DRIVE. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID, "THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG." THEY THEN WORKED WITH CHRYSLER TO IDENTIFY AND "SOLVE" THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE TIRE RODS AND JOINTS. THREE DAYS LATER I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM AGAIN, AND THEN AGAIN, AND AGAIN. I HAVE SPENT APPROXIMATELY $1400 TO "FIX" THIS PROBLEM, AND IT CONTINUES TO PERSIST. DO AN ONLINE SEARCH OF "DEATH WOBBLE" AND YOU'LL FIND ENTRY AFTER ENTRY AND EVEN VIDEOS. I'M REALLY WORRIED THAT ONE OF THESE TIMES WHEN I AND FORCED TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN AND HEAD TO THE SHOULDER, I'M GOING TO END UP REAR ENDED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER.
