2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

SINCE JUNE 2012 WHEN FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK NO MATTER HOW SLOW OR FAST THE LAST BIT OF FUEL SPEWS FROM THE TANK FILLER OPENING SPILLING ALL OVER THE CAR AND GROUND OCCURS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS FUELED UP COMPLETELY. *TR

DRIVING MY STOCK 2007 JEEP WRANGLER ON I-77 IN CHARLESTON WV AT 65MPH. STARTED ROUNDING A LEFT HAND CURVE IN THE ROAD WHEN I HIT SOME MINOR BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE STARTED BOUNCING AND SHAKING VIOLENTLY NEARLY CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW AND PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE SHAKE WENT AWAY AT ABOUT 15-20 MPH. I THOUGHT FOR SURE A WHEEL WAS COMING OFF. I SLOWED MY SPEED BUT THIS STILL HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO ROYAL JEEP IN CHARLESTON WHERE I HAD TO LEAVE IT AND RENT A CAR FOR THE NIGHT. AFTER DESCRIBING THE INCIDENT TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED IT SOUND LIKE A BAD STEERING DAMPER SHOCK AND STATED THAT HE HAS DEALT WITH THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY TO A TUNE OF $205.00 PLUS THE RENTAL CAR($64.00) AND DROVE BACK TO CLEVELAND OH WITHOUT ANOTHER INCIDENT. MARK BY WORD, SOMEONE WILL DIE SOMEDAY IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED QUICKLY. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, PUMP DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AND GAS SPILLS OUT. I HAVE TO TRY AND LISTEN FOR THE FUEL TO COME UP THE FILL PIPE BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO GAUGE AND HEAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS WELL AS COSTLY. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE HAD/HEARD OF THAT HAS THIS ISSUE. I KNOW OTHER JEEP JK OWNERS WHO ALSO EXPERIENCE THIS. *TR

EXPERIENCED "DEATH WOBBLE" WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY BETWEEN 50 AND 65 MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES ON SEVERAL HOUR CROSS STATE TRIP. THIS IS EXTREMELY SCARY TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS AS THERE WERE VEHICLES ALL AROUND US ON THE HIGHWAY. FIRST REACTION WAS TO SLAM ON BRAKES WHICH AGAIN, VERY SCARY AS WE WERE ON HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT A 60 MPH. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN EXCESS OF 70MPH WHEN I HIT A VERY MINOR IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SHAKE/HOP AND STEERING BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE I NEARLY CAUSED A MAJOR PILE UP ON I-35. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND I'VE OWNED THE CAR VERY LITTLE TIME. LUCKILY I GAINED CONTROL BEFORE A CATASTROPHIC EVENT HAPPENED. THIS IS 100% A JEEP DESIGN FLAW IT IS REFERRED TO AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AND NO IF ANDS OR BUTS; THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. ALL WE AS BUYERS ASK IS TO BE PUT IN A SAFE AND FUNCTIONAL VEHICLE. MY CHILD HAS TO RIDE IN THIS CAR. THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER THE NATION. IT IS NOT OK FOR THIS TO GO ON ANY LONGER. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE LIVES ARE AT STAKE. IS THAT NOT IMPORTANT ANYMORE? PLEASE WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS SO YOU CAN VIEW WHAT THE WHEELS AND CAR ACTUALLY DO AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND EXACTLY HOW SERIOUS THIS IS. *TR

THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE THAT IS HIGHLY BEEN BROADCASTED VIA INTERNET. I HAVE A MINT, COMPLETELY STOCK JEEP WRANGLER X UNLIMITED. FIRST YEAR OF THE 4 DOOR. IT HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED AT ALL. AS SAID IT IS MINT CONDITION. I MADE THE MISTAKE OF NOT DRIVING IT MUCH, ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAY FIRST SEVERAL YEARS I HAD IT. I DROVE A OLDER CAR AS MY EVERYDAY VEHICLE. THE JEEP WAS AND IS MY TOY. I HAD TO START DRIVING IT MORE IN 2011, THAT'S WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS CLEAR. WHENEVER I AM DRIVING AT OVER 50-55 MPH, AND I HIT A BUMP OR GROOVE IN ROAD IT RANDOMLY GOES INTO THIS VIOLENT SHAKE. THE SAME SHAKE DESCRIBED AND SEEN ON THE INTERNET. I FINALLY DID TAKE IT TO A JEEP DEALER, NOT EXPECTING MUCH. DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. BUT DUE TO THE FACT OF THE VERY LOW MILEAGE AND SHOWROOM APPEARANCE OF CAR, I WAS ABLE TO CONVINCE THEM TO ADDRESS PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE TO ME, SO FOR. I SAY SO FOR, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE DEALER HAS REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS UNDERNEATH, BUT PROBLEM STILL THERE. NOW I AM WAITING FOR DECISION FROM HIGHER UPS AT JEEP TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH ME. I FEEL THAT THERE IS SOME ENGINEERING PROBLEMS OVERLOOKED WHEN DESIGNED AND BUILT. THEY(JEEP) KNOW THEY HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM.I AM VERY SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DEATH INVOLVED WITH THIS. IT IS SERIOUS. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE IN MY JEEP. SHE CALLS IT CHRISTINES LITTLE SISTER CARLA. I AM STUCK. I CANNOT TRADE VEHICLE IN, FOR I WOULD BE WORRIED THAT THE NEXT OWNER/DRIVER WOULD NOT BE AS LUCKY AS I HAVE BEEN, AND NOT BEEN IN A ACCIDENT. *TR

WHEN FUELING VEHICLE, FUEL SPITS BACK AND OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME NEARING FULL TANK. ALSO SETS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT P0440. POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONDITION WAS REFERRED TO AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE TIRES WERE BALANCED AND THE VEHICLE WAS REALIGNED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHEN FILLING THE JEEP WITH FUEL IT OVERFLOWS INSTEAD OF "STOPPING" IT IN TIME. FUEL FLOWS OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

EVERY TIME I PUMP GAS NOW, THE PUMP WILL STOP AND THEN DISCHARGE A FAIRLY LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS. PROBABLY AROUND A HALF GALLON. I FEEL THAT WITH THESE DISCHARGE OF GAS BEING EVERY TIME I FILL UP IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED IN TO. IF THERE IS EVER A SPARK WHEN IT DISCHARGES IT WILL INDEFINITELY CAUSE A FIRE THAT HAS THE LIKELY HOOD OF CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH TO ME AND WHOEVER ELSE IS AROUND WHEN IT HAPPENS. ALSO, I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT ONLY MY JEEP THAT IS HAVING THE PROBLEM. MY FRIENDS JEEP DOES THE SAME THING. HE TOLD ME THAT ONE TIME THE PUMP DID NOT STOP AND GAS WAS SHOOTING FROM HIS GAS TANK. *TR
