2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

DURING THE LAST 6 FUEL FILL-UPS, FUEL IS EJECTED FROM THE FILLER TUBE OF MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA. THIS IS DURING A NORMAL FILL-UP, NOT TOP OFF.

2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK SAHARA - EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, THE PUMP WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF UNTIL THE GAS OVERFLOWS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH QUITE A FEW OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND THEY ARE ALL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE THAT IS SPILLED ONTO THE GROUND AND COULD LEAD TO A FIRE. THE DEALER INDICATES THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK AT MY EXPENSE. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS FACT DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND AFFECTS OTHER OWNERS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. *TR

WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK AT A MAJOR GAS SUPPLIERS STATION THE NOZZLE SHUTOFF (CLICKED) INDICATING THE TANK WAS FULL THEN THE TANK BURPED GAS OUT AROUND THE NOZZLE. IT SPLASHED DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE BUMPER. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN FILLING THE TANK. *TR

FUEL SPILLS ON FILL-UP. FUEL DISPENSER AT SERVICE STATIONS WILL NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WITH MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. PROBLEM STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 43000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED - FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT OR ABOVE 55 MPH AFTER HITTING SMALL BUMP IN ROAD. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY, FEELS LIKE WHEELS ARE GOIGN TO FALL OFF OR CAR WILL FLIP OVER - COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL UNLESS YOU SLOW DOWN TO 35MPH - WHICH IS NOT EASY TO DO ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. THIS OCCURS ALMOST DAILY. TO DATE WE HAVE REPLACED THE TRACK BAR, REPLACED THE TIRES, HAD THE VEHICLE RE-ALLIGNED AND TIRES BALANCED. NEXT STEP IS TO REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER. SO FAR NO PERMANENT FIXES. *TR

GASOLINE SPRAYS FROM THE FUEL FILLER DURING REFUELING ON A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED CREATING A FIRE HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION. THIS ISSUE OCCURS NEARLY EVERY WEEKLY FILL-UP AND IS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. *TR

STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED AT AROUND 50K MILES. WHEN FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION ON A TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS. WHEN THE AUTO SHUTOFF AT THE PUMPED CLICKED OFF THE GAS CAME SPEWING OUT OF THE FILE HOLE. I CONSIDERED IT A ONE TIME FLUKE AND THAT POSSIBLY THE GAS PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE. AS TIME WENT ON IT DID NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I WENT TO THE PROBLEM OCCURRED MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. NOW THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID AN OVERFLOW IS TO STOP FILLING AT AROUND 15 GALLONS AND SLOWLY TOP OFF THE TANK BY CAREFULLY LISTENING FOR THE FUEL LEVEL AND EASING THE FUEL INTO THE TANK. MY CONCERN IS THE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLING OUT ON THE PAVEMENT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ONE SPARK COULD BE DISASTROUS FOR MYSELF OF SOMEONE WHO FOLLOWS ME AT THE PUMP. I HAVE READ WHERE MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL ARE EXPERIENCING A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

STARTING ABOUT 12-15 GAS FILL-UPS AGO, MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4X4 RUBICON STARTED TO EJECT FUEL OUT OF THE GAS FILLER TUBE ABOUT A SECOND AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. I HAVE NOT CHANGED ANY PROCEDURE DURING FILL-UPS AND HAVE USED THE SAME GAS PUMPS AND GAS STATIONS FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS -- THIS STARTED OUT OF THE BLUE. WHEN THE GAS OVERFLOWS, IT EJECTS WITH ENOUGH PRESSURE TO COVER THE GAS CAP HANGING BELOW WITH GAS, AND SATURATES THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND BUMPER, DROPPING A GOOD AMOUNT OF GAS ON THE GROUND (PROBABLY ABOUT A 2.5 - 3 FOOT RADIUS OF A PUDDLE). THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, MY HAND WAS COVERED IN GAS, AND I ESTIMATE ABOUT A HALF GALLON OF GAS WAS EJECTED. IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME DURING A FILL-UP UNLESS I STOP THE GAS PUMP BEFORE THE TANK IS CLOSE TO FULL. I HAVE LISTENED ATTENTIVELY DURING A FEW FILL-UPS, AND HAVE SHUT OFF THE PUMP ONCE I HEAR A CHANGE IN SOUND THAT THE TANK IS NEAR FULL -- AND THIS STILL RESULTS IN FUEL EJECTING FROM THE FILLER TUBE, BUT JUST NOT AS MUCH. I CAN NO LONGER RELY ON THE PUMP AUTO SHUT OFF EVEN AT LOW FILLING SPEEDS, AND I CAN NO LONGER FILL THE TANK TO IT'S PREVIOUSLY NORMALLY FULL CAPACITY. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS, NOT ONLY TO ME AND MY PASSENGERS, BUT THE OTHER PATRONS AROUND ME -- NOT TO MENTION THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE GAS SPILLS. THERE ARE NO KNOWN FIXES, AND IT APPEARS, ACCORDING TO JEEP FORUMS, THAT THIS IS BECOMING A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, WITH THE LATEST UPDATES THAT CHRYSLER COMPLETELY REPLACING GAS TANKS ONLY UNDER WARRANTY, AND WITH NO APPARENT UPDATES TO KEEP IT FROM OCCURRING AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. MY JEEP HAS JUST COME OUT OF WARRANTY AROUND THE END OF SEPTEMBER, DUE TO MILEAGE. I NOW HAVE 40,000 MILES ON THE JEEP, AND I ESTIMATE THIS STARTED AT ABOUT 35,000 MILES. *TR

FILLED UP MY '07 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4-DOOR TODAY AND GAS CAME POURING OUT OF THE JEEP AFTER THE PUMP NOZZLE CLICKED OFF. HAPPENED LAST FILL UP TOO, BUT NEVER BEFORE. *TR

JEEP 07 WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED FOUR DOOR. FRONT TRACK BAR BRACKET FAILURE. THE METAL IS VERY THIN AND VERY POORLY WELDED, ON THE OUTSIDE ONLY. THIS LEADS TO WEAKNESS AND FAILURE, PARTICULARLY UNDER HIGH STRESS DRIVING MANEUVERS SUCH AS HEAVY BRAKING ON A DOWNHILL CORNER, DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE, HITTING POTHOLES OR SPEED BUMPS. ONCE SEPARATED, THE FRONT AXLE THEN FOLLOWS WHATEVER GROOVE EXERTS THE MOST FORCE, CREATING A DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. *TR
