2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

FUEL SPITBACK ISSUE. UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, JEEP WRANGLERS BUILT 3/1/2007 - 3/31/2008 CAN HAVE THEIR FUEL TANKS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. MINE WAS BUILT IN JANUARY 2007. IF THIS IS AN ISSUE IN SO MANY OTHER JEEPS THAT FALL OUTSIDE OF THESE BUILT DATES, I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WERE NOT INCLUDED. MY VEHICLE SPITS OUT SOMETIMES AND ESTIMATED QUART OF GASOLINE AFTER THE AUTOMATIC FILL PUMP STOPS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS PUMPING ON THE HIGHER OR LOWER SPEED. THIS GASOLINE, EVEN THOUGH I WASH IT OFF EVERY TIME, HAS LEFT MARKS ON MY TIRES AND I HOPE IT DOES NOT CORRODE THE PAINT OR PLASTIC TRIM. *TR

VEHICLE GEAR SHIFT CABLE BUSTED AND SHIFTER PIN DAMAGE. DUE TO POOR QUALITY ITEM MADE OUT OF PLASTIC NOT MADE OUT OF METAL. CHRYSLER UPGRADE BECAUSE PART TO NEW PART BUT WILL NOT REIMBURSE, THEY ADMIT THAT PART IS FAULTY BUT SILL WOULD NOT MAKE CHANGES TO OTHER CARS. CAR WOULD NOT MOVE STUCK IN PLACE. AT FIRST WHEN CAR WAS TURNED ON GEAR HAD NOT TRACTION AND NO CONTROL. VIN: [XXX] JEEP WRANGLER 07 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SPITS GAS UPON FILLING. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER ORIGINALLY AND THEY REPLACED THE CARBON CAN AND OTHER ITEMS TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $500. DID IT AGAIN A MONTH LATER AND STILL DOES EVERY TIME FOR THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. WE HAVE LEARNED TO PUT THE CAP WHERE IT WON'T GET WET AND STAND FAR AWAY FORM THE FILLER WHEN FILLING. I SAW THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR A FUEL INLET CHECK VALVE, BUT AM RELUCTANT TO GO TO DEALER (ONLY ONE AROUND FOR 120 MILES) BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HOSED BUY THEM, I'D RATHER GET HOSED BY FUEL. IF THE VEHICLE BURNS DOWN A GAS STATION IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT THERE ISN'T A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

DEATH WOBBLE. YES IT'S SCARY. FIRST TIME ON THE FREEWAY, THEN IT WAS EASY TO DUPLICATE AFTER THAT AT SPEEDS ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP. I REPLACED THE SHOCKS, AND CHECKED TORQUE ON ALL FRONT END COMPONENTS, SAME PROBLEM. I ORDERED A NEW TRACK BAR (PANNARD ROD) WHICH I FOUND OUT HAD BEEN UPGRADED, AND WELDED REINFORCEMENTS WHERE THE BAR MOUNTS ON THE AXLE AND FRAME SUCH THAT THE BOLTS (ALSO REPLACED) FIT TIGHTER. PROBLEM GONE SINCE, 25000 MILES AGO. ALL STOCK SUSPENSION AND TIRE SIZE. THE DENIAL FROM CHRYSLER IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

MY JEEP WRANGLER 2007 SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE IT. I AM AFRAID THAT I MAY KILL SOMEONE OR MY SELF OR MY KID. IT IS THE SCARIEST THING EVER. AT THREE (3) DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I ALMOST CRASH. I HEARD SO MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, SO WHY CHRYSLER ARE NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM? THEY TRIED TO TELL ME ITS FRONT END OR A TIRE ISSUE. I HAVE CHANGED MY STEERING DAMPER, MY STABILIZER BAR AND BUSHINGS. HAD IT ALIGNED AND BOUGHT NEW TIRES AND BALANCE. PROBLEM STILL EXIST. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AS OF THIS MORNING. AND THEY ARE TRYING TO STICK ME WITH A BILL FOR ANY REPAIRS DONE TO RECTIFY THIS WOBBLING ISSUE. I DO NOT THINK THAT I, THE CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECT. $40, 000.00 IS NOT CHEAP, THEY MADE A KILLING FROM ME AND NOW THAT I HAVE SIX MONTHS LEFT, NOBODY WANTS TO ASSIST OR DO THE RIGHT THING. I LOVE MY WRANGLER. ALWAYS DREAM ABOUT OWNING ONE SINCE HIGH SCHOOL. I HOPING YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NO EXTRA MONEY LYING AROUND.

STEERING COLUMN SHAKES VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING SMALL BUMPS, USUALLY IN A TURN. VERY CLOSE TO CAUSING ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE NEED TO BRAKE QUICKLY TO SLOW DOWN AND ELIMINATE THE SHAKING. ITS VERY DISAPPOINTING THIS IS NOT PUBLISHED NOR ANYONE ACTED ON THIS. INCIDENT HAS NOW HAPPENED APPROX 20 TIMES AND VEHICLE HAS NO AFTER MARKET PARTS. *TR
