2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4 Complaints

2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DOOR 1) NEARLY EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, WHICH HOLDS 15 - 16 GALLONS PER MY ESTIMATE AND FILL-UP HISTORY, IT OVERFLOWS (I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 13 MONTHS, FILL UP TWICE A WEEK; 56 WEEKS X 2 = 112 * 0.90 = 100 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED). THE OVERFLOW IS NOT BECAUSE THE TANK IS OVER-FILLED, AS IT IS POSSIBLE, IN MY EXPERIENCE, TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL GALLON AFTER INITIAL OVERFLOW. 2) THE MECHANISM THAT SHUTS OFF THE PUMP HANDLE AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS BECOMING FULL DOES NOT STOP THE PUMP. THIS RESULTS IN EXCESS FUEL ENDING UP ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY CAR, THE ATTACHED GAS CAP, AND ONE'S SHOES AND PERSON IF ONE IS NOT EXPECTING THE FUEL TO SPIT BACK OUT. 3) NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AS OF YET TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER PORT DURING FUELING. IT HAPPENS WHEN FILLING THE TANK TO FULL. WHEN THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OR CLICKS OFF, FUEL SPILLS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE OR SHOOTS FROM THE FILL OR NOZZLE. THIS COVERS THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND, AND SOMETIMES THE PERSON FUELING IF STANDING NEARBY. ISSUE HAS OCCURRED AT MANY DIFFERENT PUMPS. ISSUE BEGAN AT APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES (REACHED IN APPROX 2008) AND HAS CONTINUED EVER SINCE. *TR

WHILE FILLING FUEL TANK, FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FILLER NECK AFTER FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF. *TR

MANUAL TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY SINCE DAY ONE OF OWNERSHIP. IT HAS BEEN SERVICED BY 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND REMAINS PROBLEMATIC AND DANGEROUS. AT THE CURRENT TIME IT IS HARD TO SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR AND "POPS" OUT OF FIRST GEAR. *TR

GAS TANK OVERFLOW DURING FILL UP. THIS OCCURS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL TO FULL. I HAVE STOPPED FILLING THE TANK TO FULL TO HELP STOP THIS ISSUE. *TR

EVERYTIME I REFUEL, GASOLINE WILL OVERFLOW AND SPILL ONTO THE GROUND. THE PUMP WILL NOT STOP THE FLOW OF FUEL IN TIME TO PREVENT SPILLAGE. I'VE TRIED TO SLOW THE FLOW AS IT NEARS A FULL TANK, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED. THE ONLY THING THAT WILL STOP THE FUEL FROM OVERFLOWING IS SIMPLY NOT FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY FULL. I HAVE TO STOP AT ABOUT 7/8THS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND SHUT OFF WHEN THE HORN BEGAN TO SOUND. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES, THE HORN STOPPED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE SEAT BELT LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE AND ALARM SYSTEM WOULD SOUND INTERMITTENTLY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

WHEN YOU FILL UP, AFTER THE PUMP CLICKS OFF, LOTS OF GAS POURS BACK OUT OF THE TANK. IT COULD RUN DOWN NEAR THE MUFFLER AND IGNITE. NOT TO MENTION THE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF GASOLINE ON AND IN THE GROUND. *TR

1. FILLING THE TANK WITH FUEL. 2. WAIT FOR THE PUMP TO CLICK OFF ON IT'S OWN. EVERY TIME I LET THE PUMP AUTO SHUTOFF, IT WILL SPILL 6-20 OZ OF FUEL OUT THE SPOUT AND ONTO THE GROUND. 3. HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. *TR

I ACQUIRED MY JEEP WRANGLER (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) IN JANUARY OF 2007, SHORTLY THEREAFTER IT STARTED POPPING OUT OF 1ST GEAR. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH, IT HAS PROGRESSED TO A POINT WHERE IT WAS DOING IT 4-6 TIMES PER DAY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT I WAS NOT ENGAGING IT PROPERLY, BUT I'VE SUBSEQUENTLY TRIED TO HOLD IT IN 1ST GEAR AND IT FORCES ITSELF OUT OF GEAR SO HARD THAT IT ALMOST BROKE MY WRIST. I'VE NOTICED THAT IT POPS OUT MORE UPON LOW TO MEDIUM ACCELERATION. LAST MONTH, I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE A RIGHT HAD TURN. AS I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE THE TURN FROM A STOPPED POSITION, UPON MODERATE ACCELERATION, THE TRANSMISSION POPPED OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND LEFT ME STALLED IN NEUTRAL IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE BEHIND WAS ABLE TO SKID AND BARELY HIT MY SLOWED VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT MY WIFE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS SHE FELT IT WAS TWO DANGEROUS. I WAS NOW CONVINCED THAT THIS CONDITION WAS VERY UNSAFE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE (@49,500 MILES) TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP UPDATED THE 1-2 SYNCHRONIZER ASSEMBLY WITH STRONGER DETENT SPRINGS PURSUANT TO THE CHRYSLER/JEEP TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 21-001-10 THAT WAS ISSUED ON MARCH 2, 2010. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO INVESTIGATE THIS DEFECT IN ORDER TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ADDITIONAL VEHICLE OWNERS. *TR
