2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

GAS OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING TANK. AFTER AUTOMATIC NOZZLE SHUTS OFF GAS BACKS UP IN FILL TUBE AND EXITS FROM FILL TUBE. GAS SPILLS OVER ONTO OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE DESTROYING PAINT AND FORMING PUDDLE ON GROUND. SOMETIMES GAS EXPELS SO FAST IT SHOTS OUT AND GETS ON PERSON PUMPING FUEL. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FULL FILL UP. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS EXCEPT FOR TRYING TO MANUALLY STOP PUMP BEFORE TANK IS FULL. *TR

IT STARTED WITH A SLIGHT KNOCK IN THE ENGINE AT FIRST START UP. IT WOULD GO AWAY AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THAT LASTED ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS. UNTIL ONE START UP THE ENGINE WOULD NOT STOP TICKING, BY THE TIME I ARRIVED HOME THE ENGINE WAS KNOCKING VIOLENTLY. OIL LEVELS WERE FINE. HAD THE JEEP TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ENGINE INSPECTED, TO SEE IF IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE TECH DID AN INSPECTION AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE SPUN 2 CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS, BENT 4 RODS, DAMAGED 4 PISTONS, DAMAGE TO CRANK, AND ALMOST ALL OIL PASSAGES IN ENGINE WERE CLOGGED BY METAL DEBRIS. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE FACTORY SEAL ON THE ENGINE WAS OPENED. THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND TOLD THEM THE SITUATION. I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER MANY TIMES OVER THE MONTH SPAN THAT THE JEEP WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP,I ALSO HAD THE DEALERSHIP FAX ALMOST 20 OTHER CASES TO THE CLAIMS DEPT. THAT I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE SAME SITUATION AND PROVIDED THE VEHICLE YEAR, MAKE, AND MILEAGE INCLUDING ALL OF MY SOURCES. CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE ENGINE REPAIR BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE AND THAT I WAS NOT THE FIRST OWNER OF THE VEHICLE,THE JEEP HAS 53K ON IT. NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP COULD TELL ME THE REASON WHY THIS HAPPENED, OR HOW I CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SELF DESTRUCT. I WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT THE OIL PORTS INSIDE THE ENGINE GOING TO THE CRANK WERE DESIGNED TOO SMALL, AND THIS IS WHY THE CRANK BEARINGS WERE FAILING. I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO ANOTHER MECHANIC, HE ADVISED THAT A NEW ENGINE SHOULD BE INSTALLED. HE TRIED TO ORDER A NEW ENGINE FROM HIS SUPPLIER, BUT WAS TOLD THEY ARE ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT A WEEK TO RECEIVE A NEW ONE. HE WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS VERY AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND HAS REFUSED TO TAKE ANY ACTION AS OF NOW. *TR

07 JEEP WRANGLER: FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED. THE FUEL SPITS BACK OUT BEFORE THE FUEL PUMP AUTO SHUT-OFF CLICKS IN. *TR

WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF DOES NOT ENGAGE FROM THE VEHICLE ITSELF. FUEL (ABOUT A QUART) CONTINUES TO FLOW AND OUT AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO SPRAYS OUT AND ON THE PERSONNEL FUELING THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A TSB 14-001-11 FROM JEEP ABOUT THE ISSUE, AND I REQUEST THIS BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS UNSAFE FOR THE OPERATOR TO HAVE FUEL SPRAYED ON THEM, AND HAVE FUEL SPILLAGE ON THE GROUND.

MY BUILD DATE ON MY JEEP SAHARA WAS 10/2006. IT STARTED SHOOTING GAS BACK OUT THE FILL PIPE APP. A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED IT AND IT IS STILL DOING IT ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP REGARDLESS OF THE GAS STATION OR THE SPEED THE PUMP IS PUMPING (SLOW MEDIUM OR FAST).IT HAS SHOT GAS OUT AS FAR AS A FOOT FROM THE JEEP, SPRAYING ON ME A COUPLE DIFFERENT TIMES. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT SOME JEEPS AFTER A BUILD DATE FROM MARCH 2007 THRU 2008 ARE BEING REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE EARLIER BUILD DATES ARE NOT SINCE IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP SAHARA 4X4, AND HAVE HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE OVER TEN TIMES. THE DEALER SAID PUT ON AFTER MARKET STEERING STAB, AND THAT DID NOT FIX IT THEY PUT ON A NEW TIE RODE AND THAT DID NOT FIX IT, NOW THERE SAYING BECAUSE I TOW MY JEEP BEHIND MY RV THAT'S WHAT'S CAUSING THE STEERING STAB TO GO BAD. THE DEALER IS LUMPE DODGE IN VISALIA CALIFORNIA. *TR

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN 50 AND 65 MPH AND HITTING A SLIGHT BUMP OR DIVET IN THE ROAD JEEP WRANGLER JK BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL I AM FORCED TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER AND BRING IT UNDER 30MPH. IT HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY OTHER DAY, BUT OCCURRED FOUR TIMES TODAY ALONE. AT THE PRESENT TIME I HAVE HAD IT TO THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS WHERE THE ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN CHECKED FOUR TIMES, THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED AND ROTATED BACK, A NEW STEERING STABILIZER HAS BEEN INSTALLED ALONG WITH A NEW BUSHING, NEW TRACK BAR AND NEW BALL JOINT. *TR
