2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

WHILE REFUELING VEHICLE AND THE AUTO SHUTOFF DEVICE CLICKED AND FUEL WAS BURPED OUT OF THE FILLER AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE BUMPER. IT DOES THIS ON ALL FLOW RATES. THIS IS AT GAS STATIONS THAT I USED FOR OTHER FILL UPS WITH NO SPILLS. IT IS HAPPENING AT EVERY FILL UP THAT HAS BEEN DONE AFTER MILEAGE HAS REACHED 50,000 MILES. *LN

1) I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X WITH 8,650 MILES ON THE VEHICLE IN 2008, KEPT THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS, AND IT NOW HAS 43,000 MILES. THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE OTHER THAN STANDARD SAFE DRIVING PRACTICES. 2) THE FAILURE IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AND IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON VARIOUS WEBSITES. THE "DEATH WOBBLE" OCCURS ANYTIME THE VEHICLE REACHES 50 MPH, AND WILL CONTINUE AS THE SPEED RISES OR FALLS. 3) THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED IN MY JEEP YET, IT IS BEING TAKEN IN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC TO BE FIXED. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GAIN ASSISTANCE FROM JEEP (TO INCLUDE WRITING A LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF JEEP) WITH AN APPALLING AND INSULTING RESPONSE. *LN

WHEN REFUELING, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SPILLED OUT AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. WITHIN A SECOND OR 2 OF THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF GAS THEN FLOWED OUT OF THE TANK FILLER TUBE. IT SPLASHED ALL OVER MY PANTS AND SHOES ALONG WITH THE CAR ITSELF.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING THE RESULTS. THE CONTACT DID NOT INFORM THE MANUFACTURER NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 32,000.

GAS TANK OVERFLOWING DURING FULL UP. WAS INTERMITTENT SINCE 45,000 MILES. OVERFLOWS AT EVERY FILLUP NOW AT 70,500 MILES. *TR

WHEN REFUELING THE GAS WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE PORT WHEN IT IS REACHING FULL BEFORE THE PUMP WILL KICK OFF. I HAVE GOTTEN GAS ON MY SHOES AND PANTS SEVERAL TIMES. IT HAS EVEN SPRAYED OUT SO BAD BEFORE THAT GAS GOT ON ANOTHER PERSON ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PUMP. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FILL UP WITHOUT SPILLING EVERYWHERE.

APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TO 1/2 GALLON OF FUEL BACK FLOWS FORCEFULLY OUT OF FILLER NECK IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF THE HANDLE WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHEN THE HANDLE IS LOCKED DOWN IN FUELING POSITION AND AUTOMATICALLY CLICKS OFF AND WHEN I AM HOLDING THE HANDLE TO FILL THE TANK. AT NO TIME AM I ATTEMPTING TO OVERFILL THE TANK BEYOND THE SAFETY SHUT OFF.

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED FUEL SPILLS OUT WHEN REFUELING. EVERY TIME I REFUEL, NO MATTER IF I USE THE AUTO PUMP OR NOT, IT WILL RUN OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, IT 'SPITS BACK' FUEL BEFORE SHUTTING OFF LEAVING GAS DRIPPING DOWN MY FENDERS AND ONTO THE GROUND. IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE TOO MUCH GAS BUT STILL LEAVES EVERYTHING WET WITH GAS INCLUDING THE GAS PUMP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN USING THE AUTO SHUT-OFF FEATURE OF THE PUMP. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN ON THE LOW SPEED SETTING. THIS STARTED AROUND 50K MILES AND CONTINUES NOW AT 55K MILES. *TR

WHEN FILLING WITH GAS SPEWS OUT. ON JANUARY 10TH FLEW OUT SO BAD, MY WINTER COAT, PANTS, GLOVES AND SHOES WERE RUINED. BEEN ONGOING PROBLEM. HAS REPAIR ORDERS FROM DEALERSHIP. IN ADDITION, THE HARD TOP HAS LEAKED SINCE DAY ONE AND NEVER BEEN REPAIRED. I AM NOT DRIVING VEHICLE SINCE THE AWFUL SPILLAGE ON JANUARY 10TH. I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP RUINING CLOTHES. IN ADDITION, CONCERNED IT CAN CAUSE FURTHER PROBLEM (IE, PERHAPS FIRE). ALWAYS IN ATTENDANCE WHILE FILLING. SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL OTHER JEEP OWNERS EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR CHRYSLER TO CORRECT THIS DEFAULT, A DEATH, OR SEVERE INJURY. IF NOT WINTER TIME I FEEL I WOULD HAVE BEEN BURNED ON MY SKIN BY THE GASOLINE.
