2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X2 Complaints

THE GAS TANK HAS BEEN OVERFLOWING FOR THE PAST THREE MONTH. NO MATTER HOW SLOW YOU PUMP, OR HOW MANY GAS STATIONS YOU TRY. HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 4DR JEEP WRANGLER NOT 4 WHEEL DRIVE. JUST RECENTLY HAS A PROBLEM STARTED ON MY JEEP. I WILL BE DRIVING AT 35-65MPH AND HIT A BUMP OR A SERIES OF SMALL BUMPS AND MY JEEP WILL BEGIN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND WILL NOT STOP UNLESS I IMMEDIATELY PULL OFF THE ROAD OR SLOW TO ABOUT 20MPH. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING TO WHICH THEY REPLIED I HOPE IT'S NOT THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. FROM WHAT THEY COULD SEE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AS FAR AS STEERING AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT JEEP DEALERSHIP TO GET FURTHER INFORMATION. I BEGAN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE VIA THE INTERNET AND IT IS COMMONLY KNOWN BY JEEP OWNERS AS A 'DEATH WOBBLE'. IN ALL CASES THEY HAVE HAD TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN AND GET OUT OF TRAFFICS WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL, IN SOME REPORTS READ IT HAS CAUSED WRECKS AND EVEN A BROKEN WRIST. I AM WRITING HOPING THAT THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY AN INVESTIGATION CAN BEGIN ON THE SUBJECT BECAUSE IT IS TERRIFYING WHEN THIS ISSUE BEGINS AND YOU ARE ON A HIGHWAY OR ANY BUSY ROAD. I BELIEVE THEIR NEEDS TO BE SOME KIND OF RECALL TO GET THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF IF IT IS A COMMONLY KNOWN DEFECT. *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

WHILE DRIVING 50 TO 70 MPH IF THE VEHICLE HITS ANY SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD IT THEN BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THERE IS A TERM GIVEN BY JEEP OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS YEAR JEEP CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE." THERE ARE MANY OF DISCUSSION GROUPS ONLINE THAT TALK ABOUT IT AND THERE IS EVEN FOOTAGE ON YOUTUBE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE WOBBLE IS TO STOP THE VEHICLE AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN. NOT SAFE AT ALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? GENERAL MOTORS WAS SAVED BY THE TAX PAYERS OF THE U.S. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PUT VEHICLES THAT ARE UNSAFE ON U.S. HIGHWAYS. I ONLY HOPE NO ONE HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED FROM THIS ISSUE. MY JEEP IS ALL STOCK FROM THE FACTORY. I HAVE HAD NO WORK OR MODIFICATIONS DONE TO IT. THERE IS NO REASON WHY JEEP OWNERS THAT PAY $24,000 OR MORE FOR THEIR JEEP TO PAY OVER $1000 TO FIX A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. I HAVE HAD A FEW RECALL ON MY JEEP FOR MINOR ISSUES AND HAD THEM FIXED. THIS IS A MAJOR 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.

I BROUGHT A 2007 JEEP OFF A NEW CAR DEALER ( JEEP WAS USED WITH 53,000 MILES ON IT) 2 WEEKS AGO. I HAVE FILLED THE TANK 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME THE TANK HAS OVER FLOWED A LITTLE AT THE END OF THE FILL UP AND GAS HAS SPILLED OUT ONTO THE BUMPER AND THE GROUND. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE JEEP WITH GASOLINE THE GASOLINE WILL SPILL OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP, JUST AS THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF FROM THE GAS PUMP ACTIVATES. THIS STARTED HAPPENING THIS LAST SUMMER AND IS STILL OCCURRING. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE IF IT HITS A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. *TR

I PURCHASE A NEW 2007 JEEP WRANGLER, AT 50,000 MILES THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND. I THEN CHECKED THE OIL AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS NO OIL. AT THIS POINT I PUT OIL IN BUT AFTER 5 DAYS THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. I SINCE CONTACT JEEP BUT HAVEN'T HEARD NOTHING BACK. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM IN THE PAST WITH THE OIL RUNNING LOW. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER WOULD NO START AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 2 DAYS, WAITED 10 MINUTES AND IT STARTED. SAME DAY I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH AND IT STALLED/DIED COMPLETELY WITH ALL DASH LIGHT COMING ON. JEEP WAS HAULED BY A WRECKER TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, THE WRECKER DRIVER DROVE THE JEEP ONTO THE WRECKER AND OFF THE WRECKER. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. PICKED UP ON 7/23, VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR A WEE, 8/1-8/3, IT STARTED UP AND DROVE FINE. ON 8/4 PARKED AND IT WOULDN'T START AGAIN. WAITED 1 HOUR AND IT STARTED, DROVE TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO FAR IT SITS FOR 15 MINUTES AFTER STALLING, IT WILL START. THE DEALERSHIP REPROGRAMMED ABS MODULE AND STEERING ANGLE SENSOR ROAD TEST, NO FAULTS AND ALL SENSORS WORKING PROPERLY. DID REPROGRAM TIPM, COULD NOT DUPLICATE STALLING. LEFT DEALERSHIP ON 8/6/09, DROVE 2 DAYS NO PROBLEMS. 8/8 STALLED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND WAS STILL ABLE TO ROLL WINDOWS DOWN. STARTED AFTER 5 MINUTES, PARKED FOR 5 HOURS, CAR STARTED BUT AFTER GOING 20 YDS. THE A/C CUT OFF, BACK ON AND CONTINUED TO DO THIS FOR 30 MINUTES. A/C STARTED RUNNING OK AND THEN THE JEEP STALLED AGAIN TRAVELING 50 MPH, NO WHERE TO GET OFF HIGHWAY, PARKED IN THE ROAD ON A HILL AND WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. SHERIFF DEPUTY PULLED UP, CAR STARTED 15 MINUTES LATER AND SHERIFF FOLLOWED ME HOME. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WANT ME TO LEAVE IT WITH THEM UNTIL THEY CAN DUPLICATE WHILE THEIR. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF BEING REARENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN IT STALLS YOU CAN ONLY TRAVEL A FEW YARDS AND IT'S HARD TO GET OFF THE ROAD TO SAFETY. I HAVE READ ABOUT OTHER 2007 JEEPS DOING THIS AND I TRULY UNDERSTAND THE OTHER DRIVERS FEAR FOR THEIR LIFE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.*TR
