2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

WHEN FUELING THE GAS TANK, THE AUTO-SHUTOFF VALVE AT ANY SERVICE STATION WILL NOT SHUT OFF IN TIME TO PREVENT FUEL SPLASH OUT OF THE FILLER PIPE AND GET ON THE PERSON DOING THE FUELING AND POURS DOWN ON THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT ISOLATED TO JUST A FEW SERVICE STATIONS - IT HAPPENS EACH AND EVERY TIME YOU FILL THIS VEHICLE WITH GAS. *TR

MY JEEP WRANGLER STALLED ONE DAY AND NEVER WOULD RESTART DUE TO WHAT THE DEALER LATER DISCOVERED IS THE MALFUNCTION OF THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE WHICH APPARENTLY IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE WITH JEEPS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERS SHOP IN OAK RIDGE TN FOR MORE THAN A MONTH NOW AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET THE PART FROM THE MANUFACTURE DUE TO WHAT THEY SAY IS A BACK ORDER WHICH SEEMS TO BE GETTING PUSHED BACK FURTHER AND FURTHER ON THE RELEASE DATE AS THEY HAVE STATED. THIS PART HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED AS FAULTY AND A RECALL FOR A SOFTWARE REPROGRAM DATING BACK TO 2007 WAS ISSUED FOR MULTIPLE MALFUNCTIONS OF THIS PART AND I AS A CONSUMER THINK THE PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW THAT JEEP IS INCAPABLE OF PRODUCING AND SUPPLYING THIS PART IN A TIMELY MANNER AND THEREFORE ITS LIKELY MANY ARE STILL DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT ONLY PRONE TO HAVE A STALLING CONDITION BUT IN MANY CASES IT WILL BE DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A PARTS REPLACEMENT FOR VARIOUS TIPM PROBLEMS INCLUDING COMPLETE FAILURE. IT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE DAIMLER CHRYSLER AND THEIR POOR PRACTICES OF RECOGNIZING FAULTY CONDITIONS AND THE FAILURE TO REPLACE OR ACT ON FAULTY COMPONENTS THAT IMPACT SAFETY AND DRIVABILITY OF THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL THE JEEP UP, IT OVERFLOWS EITHER ON TO THE VEHICLE, MYSELF, OR THE GROUND. IT IS A VERY SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD THAT I KNOW IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP, GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF FILLER NECK. DOES NOT MATTER ABOUT FUEL FLOW BEING FAST OR SLOW. *TR

AT BETWEEN 35-40 MPH, WHEN A BUMP IS HIT WITH ONE WHEEL BEFORE THE OTHER A SHAKING BEGINS IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. AT TIMES THIS SHAKING IS SO VIOLENT AND SUSTAINED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS BE BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP. THERE IS SOME KIND OF APPARENT HARMONIC OSCILLATION THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED FOR IT TO BE AS VIOLENT AND SUSTAINED AS IT IS. I INITIALLY REPORTED THIS TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN 2008, AFTER THE STEERING STABILIZER BRACKET BROKE OFF THE FRONT AXLE OF THE JEEP. I WAS TOLD THAT MY PROBLEMS WERE BECAUSE THE LIFT KIT THAT WAS INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE WAS NOT A MOPAR APPROVED KIT. JEEPS RESOLUTION WAS FOR ME TO PURCHASE A NEW FRONT AXLE AT MY COST AND REPLACE THE LIFT KIT THAT WAS ON THE VEHICLE. THE LIFT WAS PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED AND IS ONE OF THE TOP KITS ON THE MARKET. SINCE THIS TIME, I HAVE REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER ABOUT EVERY 10K-12K MILES. EACH TIME THE I DO, THIS REDUCES THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. EACH TIME I HAVE DISCUSSED THE ISSUE WITH A JEEP SERVICE CENTER, I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A LIFT ISSUE AND NOT JEEP'S PROBLEM. FROM THE MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I CONTINUE TO READ ON JEEP FORUMS IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION/STEERING SYSTEM ON THE JK. I HAVE READ REPORTS FROM PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS WITH THE STOCK SUSPENSION, AS WELL AS A VARIETY OF LIFT SYSTEMS AND TIRE/RIM CONFIGURATIONS. IF THERE IS SOME WAY TO FIX THIS THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF, THEY SHOULD BE DISCLOSING IT TO THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES, IF NOT THEY SHOULD MAKE EFFORTS TO INVESTIGATE AND TRY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

JUST PURCHASED THIS JEEP USED, EXCELLENT CONDITION FEW DAYS AGO JAN. 2012. MAJOR FUEL SPITTING BACK UPON FILLING THE TANK. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AS EXPECTED AND THEN THERE IS A HUGE GUSH OF GAS THAT COMES OUT AFTER ALL OVER ME, THE SIDE OF JEEP, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND A FIRE CONCERN! THE SECOND ATTEMPT AT FUELING I TRIED SLOWING THE SPEED OF GAS AND NOT FILLING ALL THE WAY --- SAME THING HAPPENED. JEEP DEALER ACTS THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS. A LIE. I'VE EMAILED CHRYSLER AND THEY ALSO ARE ACTING LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A COPY OF A LETTER THEY HAVE SENT TO PREVIOUS OWNERS ABOUT IT STATING THEY WOULD REPAIR THIS FUEL SPITBACK ISSUE. APPARENTLY, MY PREVIOUS OWNER DID NOTHING! I'VE NOW READ ALL OF THE REPORTS AND CLAIMS. TOO BAD WE DIDN'T KNOW THIS BEFORE. I AM AFRAID TO PUT MY FAMILY IN THIS JEEP AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT FOR A WEEK. YOU DON'T THINK IT'S A RECALL? I NEED THIS FIXED! WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO ISSUE A RECALL? A FIRE, EXPLOSION? OR DO YOU NEED TO WAIT FOR A DEATH FIRST? WOULD YOU LIKE A VIDEO OF THIS FUEL SPITTING BACK OUT OF THE SIDE OF MY NEW JEEP? I WOULD BE GLAD TO FILM IT FOR YOU AS PROOF! IT'S NOT JUST A LITTLE FUEL --- IT'S A GUSH! WAKE UP, OKAY? I AM A NEW OWNER AND NOBODY AND NO INTERNET SITES OR SOCIAL MEDIA B.S. IS INFLUENCING ME. I NEED HELP AND SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE WITH THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT JEEP USED. FIRST TIME I FILLED UP THE PUMP CUT OFF AND THEN THERE WAS A SURGE OF GAS THAT SPEWED OUT. ON SECOND REFILL TODAY AT A DIFFERENT STATION WITH NEW PUMPS SAME THING HAPPENED GAS SPEWED UNDER SUCH FORCE IT WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IN EYES HAD I NOT HAD SUNGLASSES ON. SPILLAGE WAS OVER A LITER AND WAS ALL OVER CLOTHING AND ATTENDANT HAD TO SPREAD ABSORBENT. *TR

THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED AND SPILLS GAS ON OPERATOR AND GROUND. *TR
