2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

FOR THE PAST TWO WINTERS, EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER, IF I ALLOW THE PUMP TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF, FUEL BLOWS OUT THE FILLER AND GETS ALL OVER THE JEEP, THE GROUND, ME AND SOMETIMES THE PUMP. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IF I SHUT OFF THE PUMP MANUALLY WELL BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS FULL. I SHOULD ALSO NOTE THAT THERE IS A LAG BETWEEN THE TIME THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND THE TIME THE SPILL OCCURS OF APPROXIMATELY 2-3 SECONDS. *TR

FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM FILLER NECK OF FUEL TANK WHEN FUELED TO FULL. FUEL THEN SPRAYS ALL OVER ME AND THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE CAUSING A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. HAPPENS EVERY TIME TANK IS FILLED TO FULL OR NEAR FULL. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER JUST BEFORE FUEL NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF WHILE REFUELING VEHICLE, GAS FLOWS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ON TO THE GROUND. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I REFUEL, AT ANY GAS STATION DOESN'T MATTER WHICH SUPPLIER. *TR

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING IT WITH FUEL ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X. FUEL SPILLS OUT WHEN FUEL PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. FUEL SPLASHES OUT, GETS ON HANDS, SIDE OF VEHICLE, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE TANK ON MY 2007 JEEP JK UNLIMITED WRANGLER, THE FUEL BACK PRESSURE CREATES OVERFLOW SITUATION WHEN THE TANK APPROACHES FULL; THIS RESULTS IN SPILLED FUEL ON MY JEEP, ON THE GROUND, AND ON MY PERSON. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER PORT DURING THE REFUELING PROCESS. THIS CONDITION GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO THE FULL OR NEARLY FULL LEVEL AND THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OR CLICKS OFF. SPILLS FUEL ON ME AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND DOWN TO THE BUMPER AND EXHAUST. STARTED AROUND 40,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *TR

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, AND THE FRONT END BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I STARTED PULLING OVER AND WHEN I GOT DOWN TO 35 MPH, THE SHAKING STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITHOUT INCIDENCE, AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY. THIS WAS A STOCK JEEP BOUGHT NEW WITHOUT ANY AFTER-MARKET ALTERATIONS WITH ONLY 52K MILES. I TOOK IT INTO MIDAS, AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW STEERING STABILIZER. THEY REPLACED IT, AND IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC, AND THEY REPLACED TRACKBAR, BUT IT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK TO MIDAS, AND THEY PUT ANOTHER NEW STABILIZER, STILL HAD THE PROBLEM WITH EVER-INCREASING FREQUENCY. I PUT NEW TIRES ON THE CAR, AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT 20K MILES. AT 73K, THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. THIS TIME I TOOK IT THE JEEP DEALER. THEY KNEW WHAT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WAS, AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK EVERYTHING. THEY REPORTED BACK THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE COMPONENTS, AND SUGGESTED I GET THE TIRES BALANCED AGAIN. I GOT THE TIRES BALANCED AND TOOK IT BACK A WEEK LATER TO THE DEALER AS THE PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING WITH MORE FREQUENCY, AND NOW WAS OCCURRING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 45-55 MPH. I SUGGESTED A PARTICULAR PATCH OF HIGHWAY FOR A TEST DRIVE. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID, "THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG." THEY THEN WORKED WITH CHRYSLER TO IDENTIFY AND "SOLVE" THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE TIRE RODS AND JOINTS. THREE DAYS LATER I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM AGAIN, AND THEN AGAIN, AND AGAIN. I HAVE SPENT APPROXIMATELY $1400 TO "FIX" THIS PROBLEM, AND IT CONTINUES TO PERSIST. DO AN ONLINE SEARCH OF "DEATH WOBBLE" AND YOU'LL FIND ENTRY AFTER ENTRY AND EVEN VIDEOS. I'M REALLY WORRIED THAT ONE OF THESE TIMES WHEN I AND FORCED TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN AND HEAD TO THE SHOULDER, I'M GOING TO END UP REAR ENDED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER.

FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, ALMOST EVERYTIME I FILL MY JEEP THE GAS OVERFLOWS RIGHT AFTER PUMP SHUTS OFF. I'VE EVEN TRIED TO STOP THE PUMP AND PULL IT OUT TO LET IT SETTLE BEFORE COMPLETELY FILLING, BUT THIS HASN'T HELPED. THERE IS USUALLY ENOUGH GAS COMING OUT TO CREATE A 3 FOOT PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT STATIONS, IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF WEATHER. *TR

MY JEEP WRANGLER GAS TANK HAS A PROBLEM. A VALVE SOMEWHERE IN THE TANK IS STICKING SO THAT WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FILLED AT THE PUMP, OFTEN TIMES, GAS WILL SPILL OUT UNTIL THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. PROBABLY A GALLON OR TWO SPILL OUT ON THE GROUND. OTHER TIMES, THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF PREMATURELY WHERE THE ATTENDANT MUST TURN THE PUMP NOZZLE UPSIDE DOWN TO GET THE GAS TO FLOW. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLERS FOR A FEW YEARS NOW, BUT JEEP HASN'T ADDRESSED IT WITH A RECALL DESPITE CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT INTERMITTENTLY, FUEL WOULD SPEW BACK FROM THE FILLER TANK DURING REFUELING. THE CONTACT STATED HE WOULD HAVE TO HOLD THE FUEL PUMP AGGRESSIVELY WHEN REFUELING TO KEEP THE GASOLINE FROM SPILLING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ROLLOVER VALVE ON THE FUEL TANK WAS FRACTURED AND WOULD ONLY BECOME WORSE. THE DEALER STATED THE FAILURE WAS NOT A DEFECT BUT A WARRANTY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,700 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 33,000.
