2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON DECEMBER OF 2009 REGARDING A RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09E044000 (EQUIPMENT). AN AUTHORIZED DEALER STATED THAT THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE UNTIL JANUARY 2010. THE PART BECAME AVAILABLE AND UNFORTUNATELY WAS USED FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL REMEDY REPAIR. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, NO MATTER HOW SLOW I DO IT, THERE IS AN OVERFLOW AND IN A COUPLE CASES A FORCIBLE SPLASH. IT WAS SO FORCIBLE THIS WEEKEND THAT MY PANTS AND SHOES WERE SOAKED. I HAVE READ ON A JEEP FORUM THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A NUMBER OF OWNERS OF THE JEEP WRANGLERS. THERE ARE EVEN A NUMBER OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS DOCUMENTING THE SITUATION. AT THE VERY LEAST THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE BUT IT COULD ESCALATE INTO SOMETHING FAR MORE DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS THAT OVERFLOWS. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH 56,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN APRIL OF 2007. THE PROBLEM IS OVERFLOWING GAS WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED. ONCE THE TANK IS FILLED COMPLETELY, THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AND THE FUEL TANK THEN "BURPS" 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. PER THE DEALERSHIP'S RECOMMENDATION, I HAVE REPLACED THE VEHICLE'S EVAPORATION CANISTER, BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 20 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKES WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE.

ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, I WAS FILLING UP MY 2007 4 DOOR JEEP WRANGLER WITH GAS. THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE SHUT OFF GAS COME POURING OUT OF THE JEEP. IT SPLASHED ALL OVER ME AND PUDDLED ON THE GROUND. I THOUGHT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE GAS PUMP AND COMPLAINED TO THE STATION ATTENDANT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT THE NEXT FILL UP AND HAS AT EVERY FILL UP SINCE IF I DON'T CATCH IT FIRST. IT'S NOT THE GAS PUMP BECAUSE I'VE USED SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE GAS FROM SPURTING OUT OF THE JEEP IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY FULL. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DISTRESSING AND CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH GAS PUDDLING ON THE GROUND AND SPLASHING ON ME AND THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK INTO THE DEFECT, HE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS. APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH A FLAP INSIDE THE GAS TANK THAT BECOMES DEFECTIVE AND ALLOWS THE AIR INSIDE THE TANK TO PUSH GAS OUT THE NECK UPON FILLING THE TANK. MY MECHANIC IS CURRENTLY GETTING READY TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. *TR
