2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

SINCE EARLY 2011, THE GAS TANK OF MY JEEP WRANGLER OVERFLOWS WHEN BEING FILLED WITH GAS RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF GAS BEING SPILLED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO JEEP IN JUNE. THEY HAVE NOT YET FIXED THE PROBLEM. *KB

WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS AND SETTING THE LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE FUEL NOZZLE, UPON FILLUP, FUEL WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER BEFORE THE NOZZLE DISENGAGES. THIS HAS BEEN REPEATED AT ALL OF THE SUBSEQUENT FILLUPS, USING DIFFERENT STATIONS AND PUMPS. FUEL WILL SPILL ONTO THE GROUND, SIDE OF VEHICLE, BUMPER AREA, AND ON THE PERSON REFUELING. *KB

WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT POSTED SPEEDS EVERY ROUGH PATCH OF ROADWAY OR GOING OVER A BRIDGE (BUMP ENTERING OR EXITING BRIDGE) THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I WOULD LET OFF GAS, GENTLY APPLY BRAKE AND PULL ONTO SHOULDER TO GET CONTROL BACK OF VEHICLE. SOMETIMES I WOULD HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THE SHAKING WOULD STOP OTHER TIMES BETWEEN 5 TO 20 MPHS THE SHAKING WOULD STOP. THIS WAS A 300 MILE TRIP HOME, I REDUCED SPEED TO SEE IF THIS WOULD DECREASE THE EFFECTS, IT SEEM TO HELP WHERE ROADS WERE SMOOTHER BUT HAPPENED NEARLY JUST THE SAME. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WHICH NEVER ACTIVATED. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIME SINCE DEC 17 2011. *TR

AFTER CROSSING A RAILROAD TRACK, THE CAR EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION WHICH DID NOT STOP UNTIL THE CAR CAME TO A STOP *TR

THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AT 40 MPH AND THEN STARTED FLASHING AND I HAD NO THROTTLE AND HAD TO DRIVE HOME ON IDLE. THIS WAS A USED CAR ON THE WAY HOME FROM PURCHASE. THE JEEP DEALER HAD IT FOR THREE DAYS AND SAYS THE GARAGE COMPUTER CORRECTED THE PROBLEM, BUT IT STILL HAPPENS ABOUT ONE A MONTH, I HAVE TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE KEY OFF AND RESTART FOR IT TO WORK. *TR

AT A COMPLETE STOP WHEN YOU STICK YOUR JEEP IN FIRST GEAR FOR A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND GO TO ACCELERATE, THE JEEP WILL MAKE A LOUD POP/BANG SOUND AS THE STICK POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR IN A VIOLENT FASHION. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO AN ACCIDENT TWICE WHERE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO CROSS MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC. IT ONLY HAPPENS IN FIRST GEAR AND IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE IN A WHILE. JEEP WON'T FIX IT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T REPLICATE IT. MY JEEP IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY NOW ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, BUT WANT ME TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS AND WILL END UP KILLING SOMEONE IF IT HASN'T ALREADY HAPPENED. JEEP NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. MANY PEOPLE ARE POSTING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND JEEP IS NOT BEING UPFRONT ABOUT IT. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X 4X4, WHICH IS ALL STOCK AND WAS PURCHASED NEW, HAS DEVELOPED THE APPROPRIATELY NAMED "DEATH WOBBLE" WHICH CONSISTS OF VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL WHEN HITTING EVEN A MINOR BUMP OR DEPRESSION IN THE ROAD AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 45 MPH. THE SHAKING IS SO SEVERE THAT ONE BELIEVES YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. INATTENTIVE DRIVERS MAY NOT BE AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING AND THIS MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS THE JEEP DRIVER IS FORCED TO BRAKE. MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND WHEN I CONTACTED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, THEY ACTED AS THOUGH THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THIS WAS A RATHER COMMON OCCURRENCE AND THAT IT WOULD COST ABOUT $1700 TO FIX WITH REPLACING U-JOINTS, AND ADDING A STABILIZER BAR. FROM ON-LINE TESTIMONIALS, I AM LEARNING THAT THIS IS SIMPLY A BANDAID FIX AND THAT THE BALL JOINTS AND STEERING DAMPENER NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR A TRUE FIX. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT WITH AS MANY PROBLEMS AS HAVE BEEN REPORTED THAT CHRYSLER-JEEP HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. I HAVE PARKED MY JEEP FOR NOW WHILE DECIDING WHAT TO DO. MY CONSCIOUS WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO TRADE IT OR SELL IT WITH THE DEFECT THAT I AM AWARE OF. I GUESS CHRYSLER-JEEP DOES NOT SHARE MY VALUES. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN ANY LITIGATION OVER THIS ISSUE? WHERE ARE ALL THE LAWYERS WHEN YOU NEED THEM?? *TR

JEEP WRANGLER HAS HAD AN ISSUE WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL OVERFLOW AT TIME OF FULL TANK. THE PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF AND GAS IS SPILLED ON VEHICLE AND GROUND. HAPPENS EVERYTIME I FILL UP SINCE ABOUT 12K MILES ON ODOMETER. HAVE HEARD THAT JEEP WILL PAY FOR REPAIRS FOR JEEPS MANUFACTURED BEGINNING MARCH 2007. THERE ARE MANY OF US, LIKE MYSELF, THAT HAVE JEEPS MANUFACTURED EARLIER (MINE WAS MANUF. OCTOBER, 2006 - 2007 MODEL) THAT ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE JEEP TO OVER COVERAGE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE GAS TANK AS THEY ARE DOING FOR OTHERS. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. PLEASE ASSIST. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THRU CONSTRUCTION AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED STARTED SHAKING AND WOBBLING VIOLENTLY. IT WAS SO TERRIFYING AND WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING. MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE TAKING MY GRANDSON TO CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AND HAD ANOTHER 70 MILES TO TRAVEL AHEAD OF US AND WERE SCARED TO CONTINUE IN THIS VEHICLE. WE HAD TO SLOW TO ALMOST A STOP TO GET IT TO STOP WOBBLING. WE GOT OFF THE HWY AND FOUND A JEEP DEALER WHO RENTED US A CAR TO FINISH OUR TRIP AS THEY TRIED TO REPAIR MY JEEP. I HAD ONLY BOUGHT IT 34 DAYS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED BUT HAVE OWNED JEEPS FOR THE LAST 18 YEARS. WHEN WE RETRIEVED THE JEEP, THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER SHOCK AND SAID I SHOULD CONSIDER UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS. WE MADE IT HOME SLOWLY AFRAID IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. MY FIANCE AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WE GOT IT FROM THE NEXT MORNING AND LEFT IT THERE FOR THEM TO EXAMINE, THEY SAID THE BALL JOINTS LOOK FINE AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WE DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE IT IS CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" AND WITH GOOD REASON, IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO DIE. THE NEXT DAY WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE SALESMAN AND HIS MANAGER, THEY SAID WE NEED TO PUT IN A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER AND THE WOULD SPEAK TO THEIR CHRYSLER REP. AS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT. THAT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN MY FIANCE WAS DRIVING IT AS HE WAS GETTING ON AN OFF RAMP AT 50 MPR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT COULD KILL SOMEONE. I KNOW IF I TRADE IT IN SOME OTHER FAMILY WILL GET IT AND I DON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO GO THRU THIS. PLEASE PLEASE HELP US. *TR

WHILE FUELING THE CAR, WHEN THE PUMP SHUT OFF, SEVERAL CUPS OF GASOLINE OVERFLOWED ONTO THE CAR AND GROUND BELOW. I'VE OWNED THE CAR LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AND HAVE ONLY FILLED IT UP TWICE. BOTH TIMES GAS OVERFLOWED ON THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT ONLY INCONVENIENT, IT ALSO WASTES MONEY AND IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. I AM TRYING TO SEE IF THIS REPAIR CAN BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
