TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING OVER A POT HOLE OR ANY UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHEN THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 45 MPH OR ABOVE. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO STOP DRIVING MOMENTARILY IN ORDER TO STOP THE SHAKING FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THE STEERING SHOCK WAS REPLACED, BUT DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH GASOLINE, FUEL WOULD SPILL OUT OF THE TANK. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, CAR EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES UNTIL SPEED IS REDUCED TO AROUND 30 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND ALWAYS PLAYS OUT IN THE SAME MANNER. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

WHENEVER I FILL MY TANK, IT SPITS GASOLINE OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE OVERFLOW VALVE IN THE STEM DOESNT WORK. NOT ONLY IS THIS AN EXPENSIVE ISSUE AS GAS IS LOST AT EACH FILL UP, BUT ALSO ENVIRONMENTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

WHEN GOING FASTER THAN 50 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR SHAKES AND WOBBLES AND IS NOT CONTROLLABLE. *TR

I WAS FUELING MY JEEP. WHILE THE PUMP WAS ACTIVE I WAS WASHING THE WINDOWS. I HEARD ANS SMELLED FUEL SPLASHING AND HAD TO RUN BACK AND MANUALLY DISENGAGE THE NOZZLE. THE LEFT REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND WERE COVERED WITH GAS. THINKING IT MIGHT BE A GAS PUMP (GAS STATION) PROBLEM, I IGNORED THE PROBLEM. WHEN IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, I GOT REPAIRS DONE AT A LOCAL GARAGE. MY GARAGE LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND HTTP://WWW.EDMUNDS.COM/AUTOOBSERVER-ARCHIVE/2011/02/CHRYSLER-FUEL-SPIT-BACK-COMPLAINTS-RISE.HTML WHICH DOCUMENTS A SPIKE IN COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTER LINKAGE POPS OFF AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SWITCH GEARS. THIS IS DANGEROUS. YOU MAY THINK YOU'RE IN PARK WHEN YOU'RE ACTUALLY IN DRIVE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO MOVE FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, VEHICLE DAMAGE AND BODILY INJURY. *TR

HIT A POTHOLE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING UNTIL I STOPPED . *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DOOR SAHARA IN MARCH OF 2012. ABOUT 30 DAYS AFTER THE PURCHASE (WHICH IS WHEN DEALER WARRANTY EXPIRED) THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES STARTING SQUEAKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE DIRTY. THEY "CLEANED" THE BRAKES AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THE NEXT DAY THE BRAKES STARTED SQUEAKING AGAIN EVERY TIME I BRAKE. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE BRAND NEW. AT THIS TIME, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ALSO STOPPED LOCKING CORRECTLY. THE WARRANTY I HAD PURCHASED FOR $2,000 DID NOT COVER ELECTRONICS! A COUPLE MONTHS GO BY AND I EXPERIENCED THE POPULAR DEATH WOBBLE AFTER GETTING AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION. IT TURNS OUT THE REAR TRACKBAR BRACKET WAS CRACKED AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETELY BROKE IN HALF. I BOUGHT A HEAVY DUTY ADJUSTABLE REAR TRACKBAR AND HAD A NEW BRACKET WELDED ON WHICH SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW DAYS. THEN THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED AGAIN. I THEN TOOK THE JEEP TO GET THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED AND THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED AT JUST 30MPH AS WE WERE LEAVING THE SHOP. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY WERE DUMBFOUNDED AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. SO THEY PLACED THE TIRES BACK WHERE THEY WERE WHEN I TOOK IT IN AND IT STOPPED FOR A COUPLE MORE DAYS. SINCE THEN I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT TRACKBAR, STEERING STABILIZER, AND SHOCKS, WHICH ALL SEEMED TO HAVE PUT IT AT BAY. HOWEVER, NOW I HAVE $340-A-PIECE TIRES THAT HAVE BEEN WORN OUT AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD I CANNOT GET THE ALIGNMENT FIXED UNTIL I REPLACE THE FRONT BALL JOINTS! I PAID ABOUT $30,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE HAD TO PUT IN AROUND $2500 IN REPAIRS AND UPGRADES DUE TO POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE. ON TOP OF THAT I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE IT WITH MY FAMILY FOR FEAR OF OUR SAFETY. I HAVE SEEN MANY ONLINE FORUMS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T HELP ME. THE MANUFACTURER WON'T HELP. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE BEFORE A SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS. *TR
