2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA WITH 69,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN FEBRUARY OF 2007. FOUR ABOUT THE LAST 18 MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I GO TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL THE TANK. I PLACE THE NOZZLE IN THE FILLER TUBE AND SET THE PUMP TO AUTO FILL. ONCE THE TANK IS FILLED, THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AND THE FUEL TANK THEN "BURPS" ABOUT 2-3 CUPS 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 HAD THE PROBLEM EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. THE PROBLEM ALSO OCCURS WHEN I HOLD THE PUMP AND TRY TO LIMIT THE FUEL FLOW. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF KNOWN CASES REGARDING THIS EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT, OR EVEN WORSE...KILLED. *TR

THE "CLOCK SPRING" FAILED IN MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON. THE "CLOCK SPRING" IS THE DEVICE WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL HUB THAT THE ELECTRICITY PASSES THROUGH ALLOW IN THE AIRBAG, HORN, AND CRUISE CONTROL TO WORK WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS BEING TURNED. WHEN THE CLOCK SPRING FAILS THESE ITEMS DO NOT WORK. THE SERVICE WRITER AT KEFFER JEEP IN CHARLOTTE NORTH CAROLINA, 704-532-1050, EXPLAINED THERE IS MORE THAN 500 BACK ORDERED AND IT WILL BE UP TO A YEAR BEFORE THE PART ARRIVES. THIS MEANS THERE ARE CURRENTLY MORE THAN 500 JEEP OF ALL MODELS (ALL MODEL JEEPS USE THE SAME CLOCK SPRING) DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT FUNCTIONAL AIRBAG SYSTEMS. *TR
