2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

FILLED UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK 4 DOOR AT THE GAS STATION. UPON REACHING THE FULL MARK, THE PUMP SHUT OFF AND ABOUT 1 SECOND LATER, FUEL SPURTED OUT OF THE FUEL NECK AND CAP OPENING ALL OVER ME AND THE SIDE OF MY JEEP. SINCE THEN IT HAS CONTINUALLY HAPPENING EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS TO RULE OUT A CERTAIN GAS STATION. *TR

FUEL OVERFLOW EACH TIME AN AUTOMATIC FUEL DELIVERY COMPLETION IS MADE. FUEL RUNS OUT OF FILLER, ONTO VEHICLE AND GROUND. *TR

JUST PURCHASED A USED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED AND HAVE YET TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FUEL UP WITHOUT MASSIVE OVERFLOW AT FULL. NEVER HAVE I EXPERIENCED SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT OF OVERFLOW ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. THIS OCCURS ON THE FIRST SHUT OFF AT FULL, NOT UNDER TOPPING OFF (WHICH I KNOW SHOULD NOT BE DONE). I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME OVERFLOW AT EVERY FUEL UP AND AT DIFFERENT FUEL STATIONS. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN PUMPING GAS FROM A SERVICE STATION. DOES IT MOST (70%) OF THE TIME. NOT A PUMP AUTO SHUTOFF ISSUE. *TR

AS I WAS TRAVELING ON 95 TOWARDS BALTIMORE I HIT A BUMPY PATCH IN THE ROAD, MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER4 DOOR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE. IT FELT AS THOUGH ALL FOUR TIRES WERE ABOUT TO FALL OFF. IT WAS QUITE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE JEEP AND I BARLEY MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER WITH OUT HITTING ANOTHER CAR. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN TRAVELING ABOUT 45 MPH. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE TIE ROD AND THE STEERING CHASSIE WITH "REENGINEERED PARTS" THIS VIOLENT SHAKING IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AND THERE ARE COUNTLESS DOCUMENTED INSTANCES OF THIS IN TESTIMONIAL AND VIDEO FORM ON THE INTERNET. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID "OH YOU HAVE THE DEATH WOBBLE" BUT AFTER CONTACTING CHRYSLER THEY KNEW NOTHING OF THIS PROBLEM AND WILL REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS THE JEEP WAS JUST BARLEY OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE JEEP IS OUT OF CONTROL UNTIL IT COMES TO A STOP. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4 DOOR WITH GAS IT GUSHES OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE, I DECIDED TO MOT COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK UP, IT STILL GUSHES EVEN WHEN I ONLY FILL IT OP 3/4 OF THE WAY. I HAPPENED EVERY TIME I GET GAS AND STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. *TR

ON SUNDAY , OCTOBER 10,2010, MY HUSBAND AND 16 3/4 YR OLD SON DROVE TO LONG ISLAND, NY FROM OUR HOME IN NJ IN OUR 2007 FOUR DOOR JEEP , JUST AS HE WAS GETTING ON SOUTHERN STATE PARKWAY ,GOING 60-65, THE JEEP SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY. HE THOUGHT THE WHEELS WERE COMING OFF. IT TOOK ALL HE HAD TO CONTROL THE CAR . HE PULLED OVER, JEEP LOOKED FINE AND HE DROVE 50 REMAINDER OF WAY AND THEN HOME. WE WENT TO JEEP DEALERSHIP ( WORLD JEEP SHREWSBURY NJ) THE FOLLOWING DAY TO GET AN APPOINTMENT FOR IT. TO OUR ASTONISHMENT THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT WHAT HE EXPERIENCED WAS CALLED THE "DEATH SHAKE" OR "DEATH WOBBLE" ... WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL 10/13/10. I ARRIVED HOME AND GOOGLED "JEEP DEATH SHAKE " AND CAME UPON PAGES AND PAGES OF OTHER CONSUMERS DESCRIBING AND COMPLAINING OF THE SAME SCENARIO. HTTP://WWW.WRANGLERFORUM.COM/F12/JEEP-DEATH-WOBBLE-62728.HTML THE JEEP ON WEDNESDAY 10/13/10 WAS REPAIRED: THE JEEP HAD TO HAVE ITS "STEERING DAMPENER REMOVED AND REPLACED DUE TO A LEAKING WHEEL SHAKE" WORLD AUTO GROUP SHREWSBURY DID THE REPAIR FOR A "GOOD WILL $50 DEDUCTIBLE" THIS WAS BECAUSE I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND COMPLAINED. WE ARE VERY UPSET BECAUSE OUR SON COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING THAT CAR. HE GETS HIS OFFICIAL LICENSE IN DECEMBER . HAD HE BEEN DRIVING ,MY HUSBAND FEELS HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. HE THINKS IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN EVEN DIFFICULT FOR ME. THIS SITUATION IS DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET, THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE BECAUSE THEY TOLD US IT WAS CALLED THE DEATH SHAKE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!! *TR

WHEN DRIVING MY 2007 4-DOOR JEEP WRANGLER ON THE INTERSTATE 4 WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THAT WHEN I HIT A HOLE IN THE ROAD OR A BUMP THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHOOK, CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE BACK AND FORTH CAUSING ME TO ALMOST SKIP LANES AND ALMOST HIT A SEMI TRUCK IN THE NEXT LANE. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM USED ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO (10,000 MILES AGO). I HAVE MADE 3 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST 4 WEEKS AND THE SHAKING HAS BECOME WORSE. THE LAST 2 DAYS WHILE DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK, I LITERALLY THOUGHT THAT THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS GOING TO COME OFF OR THAT THE FRAME WAS GOING TO BRAKE! I PULLED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE MANY TIMES ON MY 30 MILE TRIP AND DIDN'T DRIVE OVER 40MPH. I ASKED THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP TO DRIVE THE JEEP WITH ME ON THE INTERSTATE TODAY. HE SAID THAT HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG BUT IT FELT LIKE THE ENTIRE FRAME IS VIOLENTLY SHAKING. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AS I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL IT WHEN THIS OCCURS. I SHOULD MENTION 2 MORE THINGS...1. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP, NOT WHEN BOTH TIRES HIT AT THE SAME TIME, LIKE HITTING A POT HOLE WITH LEFT TIRE. 2. MANY OWNERS OF THIS EXACT MAKE AND MODEL ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ON-LINE AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE SITE WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO, DESPITE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY REPLACING PART AFTER PART CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE LACK OF TEMPERATURE CONTROL OF THE COOLING SYSTEM BUT CHRYSLER HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS DESIGN FLAW AND IT MUST BE ADDRESSED SOON. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I HAVE TO TRAVEL THE INTERSTATE TO GET TO WORK. *TR

CHRYSLERS RECALL FOR THE TEMPERATURE WARNING ADDRESSED THE SYMPTOM NOT THE PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE STILL OVERHEATING IN THE WRANGLER. THE SOLUTION IS A $50 TRANSMISSION COOLER. THIS CAN HAPPEN BOTH WHEN OFF ROADING(WHICH THE WRANGLER IS BUILT FOR) BUT OTHERS IN OUR JEEP GROUP HAVE HAD THE SITUATION HAPPEN ON ROAD. MY SITUATION HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON APPROXIMATELY A 20% GRADE ON A DIRT ROAD AT 20 MPH---HOT OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS FORCED TO STOP DRIVING TO ALLOW COOLING---LATER FOUND OUT FROM THE JK-FORUM ONLINE JEEP GROUP THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON AND THAT DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT CORRECTING WITH TRANSMISSION COOLER...BUT IT IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO YOURSELF IF YOU HAVE SOME MECHANIC SKILLS. THE ISSUES IS...IF YOU ADD THE COOLER CHRYSLER CAN VOID YOU WARRANTY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS I SAID THEIR RECALL UNDER YOUR NUMBER 09V436000 ADDRESSED THE SYMPTOM BUT DID NOT SOLVER THE REAL ISSUE---[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL WILL OVERFLOW AND SPRAY OR RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF VEHICLE, ONTO THE BUMPER, FENDER FLARE, THEN SPLATTERS ON THE GROUND. WE HAVE LEARNED NOT TO STAND CLOSE THE VEHICLE SO WE DON'T HAVE FUEL SPLATTERED ON OUR PANTS AND SHOES. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN JULY '07 AND THIS PROBLEM DID NOT START HAPPENING UNTIL AUGUST THIS YEAR ' AT APPROXIMATE MILEAGE 39,500. *TR
