2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4 Complaints

2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN LEAVING A STOP, MANUAL TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY POPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR ON ACCELERATION. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN ACCELERATION IS NEEDED MOST OF ALL SUCH AS WHEN TURNING LEFT ON A BUSY 4-LANE ROAD. DRIVER IS THEN UNABLE TO PUT CAR IN ANY GEAR FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THIS WILL LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT EVENTUALLY BY BEING HIT BROADSIDE OR FROM THE REAR IF STALLED LEAVING A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. DEALER ACTS LIKE THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS BUT THE WEB IS FULL OF SIMILAR REPORTS. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS OTHER THAN A TRANSMISSION REDESIGN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES IN THE PAST 3-YEARS. THE ONLY THING THAT SEEMS TO HELP IS TO HOLD THE SHIFTER FIRMLY IN 1ST GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING TO PREVENT IT FROM POPPING OUT OF GEAR. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TRADE THE JEEP BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALER WILL SELL IT TO SOME POOR UNSUSPECTING PERSON WHO WILL PROBABLY KILL HIMSELF. *TR

GAS GUSHES OUT OF THE FILLER AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. TRIED DIFFERENT ANGLES AND DEPTHS IT IS INSERTED BUT IT HAPPENS WHEN IT SHUTS OFF AND MAKES A MESS ON THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK. *TR

MY VEHICLE OVERFLOWS WITH FUEL EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THE PUMP WILL SHUT DOWN JUST IN TIME TO GUSH OUT A QUARTER OF A GALLON. *TR

OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE, VEHICLE USES 3 TO 4 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN 3,000 MILE OIL CHANGES, HAS DONE SO SINCE 25,000 MILES. I'VE ALSO HAVE A 'POPPING' FEELING FROM THE FRONT END OR STEERING COMPONENT WHEN VEHICLE HAS WARMED UP. YOU'LL FEEL THE 'POP' IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND FUEL PEDAL. THE DEALERSHIPS FROM BOTH FLORIDA AND TENNESSEE STATED NO PROBLEM FOUND MULTIPLE TIMES. *TR

THE "CLOCK SPRING" FAILED IN MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON. THE "CLOCK SPRING" IS THE DEVICE WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL HUB THAT THE ELECTRICITY PASSES THROUGH ALLOW IN THE AIRBAG, HORN, AND CRUISE CONTROL TO WORK WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS BEING TURNED. WHEN THE CLOCK SPRING FAILS THESE ITEMS DO NOT WORK. THE SERVICE WRITER AT KEFFER JEEP IN CHARLOTTE NORTH CAROLINA, 704-532-1050, EXPLAINED THERE IS MORE THAN 500 BACK ORDERED AND IT WILL BE UP TO A YEAR BEFORE THE PART ARRIVES. THIS MEANS THERE ARE CURRENTLY MORE THAN 500 JEEP OF ALL MODELS (ALL MODEL JEEPS USE THE SAME CLOCK SPRING) DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT FUNCTIONAL AIRBAG SYSTEMS. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK (2 DOOR) SPITS BACK FUEL AND SPILLS ABOUT A CUP OF FUEL WHEN GAS STATION PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT THE END OF FILLING THE TANK REGARDLESS OF THE PACE THE FUEL IS PUMPED (AMOUNT SPILLED IS LESS AT LOWER PUMP RATE BUT STILL HAPPENS). THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 27,000 MILES. IT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THAT. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUES SINCE IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FUELED. *TR
