2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2013. EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK UP IT OVERFLOWS. THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL THERE IS GAS SPILLING OUT ALL OVER MY VEHICLE, THE NOZZLE AND THE GROUND. IT HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME. *TR

I WAS GOING STRAIGHT AT A 4 WAY INTERCEPTION AND I PUT FIRST GEAR AND A HEAVY TRUCK ALMOST HIT ME WITH MY SON IN THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS PROBLEMS WITH FIRST AND THIRD GEAR. IT JUMPS FROM 1ST GEAR TO NEUTRAL AND FROM THIRD GEAR TO NEUTRAL AND NOW SECOND GEAR JUMPS TO NEUTRAL AS WELL. SO WHEN MY INCIDENT HAPPENED I WAS GOING STRAIGHT AND I COULD NOT EVEN PUT SECOND GEAR AND THE TRUCK ALMOST HIT ME. THANK GOD NOTHING HAPPEN BUT I AM WRITING THIS REPORT BECAUSE IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYBODY ELSE OR IT COULD HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN. AND JUST TO TAKE IT TO THE JEEP CHRYSLER DEALER THEY ARE CHARGING MONEY JUST TO CHECK THE PROBLEM. I THINK IS A RECALL AND THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS. I SPOKE TO [XXX] FROM THE CORPORATE CHRYSLER OFFICE AND HE WAS NOT VERY HELPFUL IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE. HE SEEM NOT TO CARE WHAT THE INCIDENT COULD OF BEEN. THIS IS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 6 SPEED MANUAL. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE JEEP WRANGLERS. I GOT THIS TRUCK BECAUSE IT WAS RECOMMENDED BY A FRIEND OF MINE AND SINCE I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS AND UNFORTUNATELY THIS COULD LEAD TO SOMETHING FATAL. I THINK THEY HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A WHILE NOW BUT NOBODY HAS EVER FILE A COMPLAIN. AND I FEEL FOR THE REST OF THE WRANGLER OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND ONE DAY COULD LEAD TO SOMETHING VERY UNEXPECTED. I JUST HOPE THAT FILING THIS REPORT WILL HELP NHTSA REALIZES THAT THE JEEP WRANGLERS HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND SOMEBODY WHO CAN MAKE JEEP CHRYSLER LISTEN TO MY STORY AND NOT IGNORE IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,900 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 02/11/14*LJ

MY WIFE AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED AT LEAST FIVE (5) INCIDENTS WHERE THE VEHICLE ENGINE STALLS/KILLS AND EITHER RESTARTS ITSELF OR HAS BE MANUALLY RESTARTED VIA IGNITION KEY. THE SYMPTOMS MIRROR EXACTLY THOSE DESCRIBED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE07027. (DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN VEHICLE DASH LIGHTS UP AS IF FRESHLY STARTED, AND SOMETIMES NEEDS TO BE MANUALLY RESTARTED, AND SOMETIMES HAS RESTARTED ITSELF) THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS EXPERIENCED BY MY WIFE IN AUGUST OF 2009, AND THE VEHICLE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY INSPECTED BY JEEP DEALER [XXX] MOTORS OF MINOCQUA, WI, WHO AFTER INSPECTION AND ROAD TEST REPORTED "NO TROUBLE FOUND." (PER MY INVOICE DATED 8/24/09) AT THAT POINT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY WITH 33,054 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, AND I WAS CHARGED $35.25 FOR THAT SERVICE ITEM. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED OCTOBER 14, 2013, AND WAS WITNESSED BY MY SON. IN THAT CASE I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH ON I-70 APPROACHING I-15 IN UTAH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE MANUALLY RESTARTED VIA KEY. THAT WAS THE 3RD INCIDENT I'VE EXPERIENCED IN THE PAST 5 MONTHS. *TR

THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4 DOOR HAS SEEMED TO HAVE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING VIOLENT SHAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES WHERE THE VEHICLE SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE HAVING A TIRE BLOWN OUT. IT ALMOST THROWS YOU OFF THE ROAD. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM NERVOUS AND DO NOT THINK THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE. *TR

I HAVE FILLED A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED I HAVE HAD 2 STEERING DAMPERS REPLACED BY JEEP IN THE PAST, NOW THEY ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THE DEFECT BUT NOT OFFERING ANY KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO FIX THE DEATH WOBBLE ( VIOLENT SHAKING AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE) THIS IS STILL HAPPENING WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES ON MY CAR, WE LIKE THE JEEP BUT WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT MUCH OR TAKE ON ROAD TRIP THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE I AM A SINGLE MOM I CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE STEERING COMPONENTS REPLACED AT MY COST SO I AM FORCED TO DRIVE A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER , MY WRANGLER HAS A BAD NAME DUE TO SO MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS IT IS UNSELLABLE. IM STUCK WITH A VERY DANGEROUS JEEP! THIS HAS GONE ON TOO LONG WHY ARE YOU NOT FORCING A RECALL ARE YOU WAITING FOR DEATHS DUE TO THIS. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF THEN COME BACK ON. IF I AM GOING STRAIGHT THE LIGHT WILL STAY ON UNTIL A TURN IS MADE. READING ON THE BLOGS IT IS DEFINITELY THE CLOCK SPRING. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON RHD WRANGLERS, AND THIS IS CRAZY. I WOULD THINK THEY USE THE SAME PART IN ALL WRANGLERS! *TR

WHEN TRAVELING AT 45 MPH I MADE A SLIGHT LEFT TURN IN THE ROAD AND WENT OVER A LONG SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD MAYBE FROM A ROAD SEAM THAT WAS FILLED IN. BOTH WHEELS HIT IT AT THE SAME TIME AND THE JEEP SLOWLY STARTED SHAKING UNTIL IT BECAME VERY VIOLENT INSIDE THE JEEP. I HAD TO SLOW MY SPEED DOWN TO APPROX 10 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. I HAPPENED TO HAVE A COWORKER BEHIND ME WHO SAW THE WHOLE THING FROM BEHIND AND SAID THE CAR WAS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH SO MUCH THAT IT LOOKED LIKE MY RIMS WERE ALMOST TOUCHING THE ROAD SINCE MY TIRE TREADS STAYED STRAIGHT. IT FELT LIKE I HAD 4 FLATS. I CHANGED THE STEERING DAMPENER AND THE SHOCKS TO RANCHO BRAND WHICH ARE LARGER THAN THE OEM BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT NOT NEARLY AS BAD SINCE I NOW KNOW WHEN IT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN. IF THERE WERE CARS NEXT TO ME I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. THIS IS A VERY REAL PROBLEM WHICH IS SCARY. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR

FUEL BACK FLOWS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK AT GAS STATIONS WHEN FULL, NO MATTER HOW SLOW I RUN THE NOZZLE. CHRYSLER HAS DETERMINED THAT MY BUILD DATE IS BEFORE THEIR TSB, SO IT IS NOT COVERED. MY SOLUTION IS TO STUFF PAPER TOWELS AT THE NOZZLE DURING EVERY FILL, WHICH SOAKS UP THE EXCESS FUEL SPILLAGE. NOT VERY FRIENDLY TO THE ENVIRONMENT, BUT IF IT IS OK WITH CHRYSLER, THEN I GUESS IT IS OK WITH ME. *TR
