2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE GAS SPLASHES OUT OF THE TANK ONTO MYSELF, SIDE OF VEHICLE, AND GROUND. INCIDENT OCCURS WHEN THE TANK IS NEARLY FULL DURING THE REFUELING PROCESS.

WHILE FUELING UP THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED THE FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILL PORT CAUSING GAS TO SPILL OVER THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. *TR

6 MONTHS PRIOR, VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY NOT START. NOTICED CORROSION ON BATTERY, CLEANED AND REPLACED CONNECTION PARTS. IT WORKED FINE UNTIL TODAY. POWER LOCKS WENT OUT. CHECKED FUSE, WAS BLOWN. NOTICED MORE CORROSION ON BATTERY ON OPPOSITE SIDE THIS TIME. TRIED REPLACING FUSE AND IT BLEW AS WE WERE REPLACING IT (SPARKS COMING OUT OF CONNECTION, MELTING A PRONG). CLEANED OFF BATTERY CORROSION AND GOT ABSOLUTELY NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHEN TRIED TO START IT. CLEANED IN BETWEEN BATTERY/WIRE CONNECTIONS AND WHEN REASSEMBLING THE HORN, WIPERS, COOLANT FAN, AND LIGHTS WOULD RANDOMLY GO ON & OFF. VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY HAVE POWER TO START, THEN WOULD NOT WORK AGAIN. ENDED UP TOWING IT TO DEALER, WITHOUT POWER. CURRENTLY WAITING FOR DIAGNOSIS. *TR

WHILE REFUELING MY VEHICLE, THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF IN TIME TO PREVENT AN OVERFLOW AND SPILL OF GASOLINE ONTO MY PERSON AND THE GROUND. THIS WILL HAPPEN EVERYTIME I FILL UP.. THE ONLY COMPENSATOR ACTION I HAVE TAKEN THUS FAR IS TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT IS NEEDED FOR A FILL UP AND MAKE SURE I STOP REFUELING APPROXIMATELY 1 GALLON AHEAD OF THIS POINT. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER OVERFILLS WHEN EVER I ADD GAS. THIS RESULTS IN SOMETIMES SPRAYING ON ME BUT, ALWAYS SPILLING OVER ONTO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND I WAS IN THE PASSENGER. IT WAS 10PM AND WE WERE DRIVING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 45MPH WHEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP AND THEN THE SHUT DOWN( EVERYTHING SHUT OFF ( LIGHTS,POWER STEERING,ETC) AFTER ABOUT 2 SECONDS THE JEEP CAME TO LIFE ( WE DID NOTHING TO RESTART IT).WE STARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN AND AFTER ABOUT 5 SECONDS IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. MY HUSBAND PULLED THE STEERING WHEEL AS HARD AS HE COULD TO PULL US OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A PARKING LOT. WE ROLLED TO A STOP MY HUSBAND GOT OUT AND OPENED THE HOOD AND JUST THEN THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND HE CLOSED THE HOOD GOT IN AND TURNED THE KEY AND THE ENGINE STARTED AND WE DROVE HOME. I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH 4 CHILDREN. *LN

WHEN REFUELING VEHICLE AT ANY FUEL STATION, FUEL NOZZLE DOES NOT SHUTOFF AND OVER SPILLS AT FUEL OPENING. IT OCCURS REGARDLESS OF TEMPERATURE, FUEL STATION, OR POSITIONING OF FUEL NOZZLE IN PORT.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON, GAS WILL OVERFLOW WHEN THE PUMPS SHUTS OFF. THE FIRST FEW TIMES, THE OVERFLOW WAS A NOMINAL SPILL. AFTER THE 4TH OR 5TH TIME THIS OCCURRED, THE OVERFLOW AMOUNT IS NOW A LARGE GUSH OF 1/2 TO 1 GALLON SPILLING BROADLY ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND IN A FAIRLY WIDE RANGE AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER CLAIMS THE PROBLEM IS NOT IN THEIR DESIGN, YET A FUEL TANK IS NOT AVAILABLE -- IS ON BACK ORDER FROM SUPPLIER. BASED ON A SIMPLE REVIEW OF COMPLAINTS, IT APPEARS THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM UNIQUE ONLY TO MY VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT BEING SPLASHED WITH GASOLINE, OR HAVING GASOLINE SPLASH OUT AND IGNITE AT A GAS STATION. *TR

ON MARCH 3, 2009, MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I SLOWED TO MAKE A TURN, IT WOULD DING AT ME AND GO OFF AND THEN ON. WHEN I'M DROVE NORMALLY, AND USUALLY STRAIGHT, THE LIGHT JUST STAYED ON WITH NO DING. THROUGH RESEARCH, I'VE COME TO FIND THAT MY CLOCKSPRING WAS FAULTY AND MAY NOT DEPLOY MY AIRBAG IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THIS FIXED THROUGH CHRYSLER. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. NOW, ON JAN. 15, 2011 WITH 103,769 MILES, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND DID THE SAME THING AS PREVIOUSLY. I WENT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT, ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME, AGAIN, IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN. CONSIDERING THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND I HAD TO PAY BOTH TIMES. IF I DIDN'T GET THIS FIXED, AND I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT, MY AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

2007 JEEP WRANGLER - EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, SINCE ROUGHLY 10,000 MILES (NOW AT 63,000) THE AUTO SHUT OFF FEATURE OF GAS PUMPS WILL NOT SHUT OFF IN TIME. THIS CAUSES ROUGHLY 1/4 GALLON OF FUEL TO SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING SITUATION FOR A COUPLE YEARS. I CANNOT RELY ON THE AUTO-SHUT OFF OF THE PUMP WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS, SINCE THE NEW MODEL FROM 2007. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY WERE DENIED BY DEALERSHIPS. I AM FINALLY SCHEDULED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK (A KNOWN FIX FOR THE ISSUE); BUT WILL BE PAYING FOR IT OUT OF POCKET, AS THE WARRANTY HAS SINCE EXPIRED. *TR
