2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE EJECTED FROM THE FUEL TANK ONTO MYSELF AND THE GROUND! THIS HAS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I ATTEMPT REFUEL THE TANK. I HAVE TRIED TO USE DIFFERENT FUELING STATIONS, I NEVER "TOP OFF" THE TANK AND NOW MUST MANUALLY SHUT UP THE PUMP BEFORE IT FILLS UP LEAVING ME WITH ONLY 3/4 TANK. *TR

ON THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING." *JS

ENGINE OIL NOT REGISTERED ON DIP STICK WHEN CHECKED. HAD TO ADD 3 QUARTS OF OIL TO GET TO REGISTER TO BOTTOM OF DIP STICK. OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED EVERY 3-6K MILES SINCE TOOK OWNERSHIP IN 2007. ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON WHEN OIL IS LOW. PROBLEM EXPERIENCED A 2ND TIME 5/26/2012. CHECKED OIL AND NO ENGINE OIL ON DIPSTICK. OIL WAS CHANGED/FILLED ON 1/19/2012 (HAVE RECORDS FROM MECHANIC) AND ONLY APPROXIMATELY 5K MILES DRIVE IN THAT TIME AND AGAIN 3 QUARTS REQUIRED TO EVEN GET OIL TO REGISTER ON DIP STICK AND AGAIN ENGINE OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON IN PAST 5 MONTHS SINCE LAST OIL CHANGE. ENGINE APPEARS TO BE "BURNING THROUGH" EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL WITH NO INDICATION OF LOW OIL IN VEHICLE AT ANY TIME. *TR

FUEL SPITS BACK EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE GAS TANK. THE PUMP STOPS FILLING AND THEN THE CAR EJECTS FUEL FROM THE TANK AND IT GOES EVERYWHERE! *TR

FROM A STOP I ENGAGED FIRST GEAR AND STARTED ACCELERATING. THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED FROM FIRST GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE ONE MONTH I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. *TR

AT CERTAIN SPEEDS, MY FRONT END SHIMMIES ON THE ROAD. I TOOK THE JEEP INTO A DEALERSHIP IN EARLY APRIL TO ADDRESS THE VIBRATION AND THEY CHANGED OUT THE BALL JOINTS. THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NO EVIDENCE OF THE VIBRATION. I PICKED THE JEEP UP AND IT WAS STILL THERE. I SCHEDULED A FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENT WITH THEM BUT, ON THE 9TH OF APRIL, I WAS DRIVING ON I 495 IN WASHINGTON DC AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING SO BAD THAT I HAD TO PULL OVER AND GET OFF THE ROAD. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE FLUNG INTO A GUARDRAIL OR ANOTHER VEHICLE, IT WAS SHAKING SO BAD. I CALLED JEEP AND THEY OPINED THAT I HAD SCREWED SOMETHING UP WITH AN AFTERMARKET INSTALL FOR A SUSPENSION. HOWEVER, MY JEEP IS COMPLETELY STOCK. I HAVE NOT ALTERED ANYTHING ON IT AND CERTAINLY HADN'T ADDED A SUSPENSION. I HAVE CHECKED AROUND AND APPARENTLY, THIS PROBLEM IS PRETTY RAMPANT. THE VIOLENCE OF THE SHAKING IS EXTREME AND I AM SURPRISED SOMEBODY HASN'T LOST CONTROL AND DIED OVER THIS ALREADY. I AM A LARGE MAN AND IT TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH TO GET THE THING UNDER CONTROL AND INTO A SAFE AREA WHERE I COULD DECREASE SPEED. I SINCERELY HOPE YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT., THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED (4 DOOR) SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE, COMMONLY KNOWN AS DEATH WOBBLE. SHAKING CONTINUES UNTIL THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS CONTINUES TO OCCUR ON A REGULAR BASIS ON SPEEDS BETWEEN 40 TO 70 MPH AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. AGAINST RECENT INVESTIGATION RESULTS OF NHTSA THE VEHICLE DOES BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE AND PULL OUT OF LANE. *JS
