2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS WHILE FILLING UP WITH GASOLINE. OCCURS EACH TIME I FILL THE TANK UP. *TR

EVERY TIME I PUMP GAS INTO MY '08 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X GAS SPLASHES OUT. I DO NOT "TOP OFF" THE TANK; THE GAS SPLASHES OUT AFTER THE FIRST CLICK OF THE GAS PUMP. *TR

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, FUEL SPILLS/GUSHES ON VEHICLE AND PERSON FILLING IF STANDING NEXT TO FUEL NOZZLE WHEN PUMP CLICKS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. SPILL/OVERFLOW RANGES FROM ABOUT ONE QUART TO A HALF GALLON OF FUEL AND CAN CAUSE VEHICLE/PAINT AND ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE AS WELL AS INJURY TO PERSONS REFUELING VEHICLE AND IS ALSO A FIRE HAZARD. *TR

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, ABOUT A CUPFUL OF GAS POURS OUT THE TOP AFTER THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY STATION, ON EVERY FILL UP. THIS I BELIEVE PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE AS GASOLINE IS NOW ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. *TR

THE FAILURE IS THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN IT HAPPENS, THERE IS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER TO THE WHEELS PRESENTING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

"DEATH WOBBLE" WHEN THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP SUCH AS AN EXPANSION JOINT AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60-70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT THAT CONTROL IS LOST ON ALL BUT DRY PAVEMENT. THE VEHICLE MUST BE SLOWED TO LESS THAN 50MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPS. NO WARNING OR ESP LIGHTS ILLUMINATE DURING THE EPISODES. DEALER REPLACED A LEAKING STEERING SHOCK ON THIS VEHICLE AND SUSPECTS IT IS THE CAUSE BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TEST ON THE SAME STRETCH OF ROAD TO CONFIRM. WHILE IN THE WAITING ROOM, ANOTHER 07+ JEEP WRANGLER OWNER WAS PICKING UP HIS VEHICLE AFTER RECEIVING THE SAME REPAIR FOR THE SAME SYMPTOMS.

2008 JEEP WRANGLER X UNLIMITED AT APPROX 30,000-32,000 MILES I HAVE STARTED TO HAVE AN ISSUE WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE TANK GETS FULL AND THE PUMP CLICKS OFF ABOUT A 1/2 GALLON OF GAS SPRAYS OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO WHOEVER IS WITHIN A COUPLE OF FEET. THIS PROBLEM STARTED SUDDENLY AND HAS NOW CONTINUED FOR THE LAST MONTH EVERY TIME I FILL UP REGARDLESS OF WHERE I CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MY FUEL. I'VE PURCHASE GAS IN TWO DIFFERENT STATES AND THE PROBLEM EXISTS NO MATTER WHERE I AM AT THE TIME OF THE FILL UP. *TR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I HAD PURCHASED A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER ABOUT YEAR AGO FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN PRESCOTT, ARIZONA. ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS AFTER BUYING IT MY SON HAD COME HOME SAYING THE WHOLE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING WHILE HE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WE TOOK THE JEEP OUT ON A RIDE AND COULD NOT MAKE THE VEHICLE SHAKE AGAIN. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED TO ME, SO WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (TIM'S AUTO IN PRESCOTT.) THEY HAD OUR VEHICLE FOR A FEW WEEKS, AND WHEN WE WENT TO PICK IT UP WE WERE TOLD THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS. THEY HAD, 'TAKEN IT APART, PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AND DRIVEN IT AROUND,' WITH NO ISSUES. THEY ACTED LIKE I WAS MAKING UP THE WHOLE PROBLEM. SINCE THEN WE HAVE ONLY HAD A FEW OUTBURSTS, BUT WE JUST LIVED WITH IT. THEN, TODAY (1-4-11) AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IT BEGAN TO WOBBLE A LITTLE. I WAS CLOSE TO HOME, SO I KEPT GOING. THE JEEP STARTED TO VEER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, I SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS AND IT STARTED TO TURN THE OTHER WAY. I WAS ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY, GOING 65 MPH WITH CARS ON EITHER SIDE. I WAS ALMOST HIT TWICE (BOTH WOULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY ME) BY THE TIME I GOT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY HUSBAND WAS OUT OF TOWN AND DAUGHTER WAS WORKING TWO TOWNS OVER, I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE HOME. I GOT BACK INTO THE CAR, STARTED DRIVING, AND GOT ABOUT 5 MILES FARTHER BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AGAIN. I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CALLED AND COULD NOT GET A HOLD OF ANY ONE SO I GOT IN AND DROVE HOME AT ABOUT 15 MPH, SHAKING ALL THE WAY. CURRENTLY, MY JEEP IS IN THE DRIVEWAY, I AM UP AGAINST A WALL WITH THIS VEHICLE! REPAIRS ARE NOT 100 PERCENT RELIABLE (BASED ON PAST EXPERIENCE) AND ONLINE REVIEWS SEEM TO SAY THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE SOMEONE WITH YOUR COMPANY CAN HELP ME WITH THIS, BECAUSE AS OF NOW I HAVE A $35,000 DEATHTRAP SITTING OUTSIDE OF MY HOME.

THE LAST THREE TIMES I HAVE FILLED MY TANK WITH GAS IT HAS SPIT A QUART OR SO OF GASOLINE BACK OUT ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, GROUND AND ME. THIS OCCURRED AT THREE DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AT THREE DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY AND AFTER DIFFERENT DRIVING PATTERNS. ABOUT 1 SECOND AFTER THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, GAS SPITS OUT FROM THE FUEL TANK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE AND THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT ONLY AN INCONVENIENCE, IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD! *TR

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SPILLS FUEL EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP. WITHOUT WARNING JUST AFTER THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF GAS SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLED IS ABOUT 4 OZ. IF YOU ARE CLOSE IT SPILLS ON TOP THE PERSON PUMPING. A FIRE DANGER NO DOUBT. *TR
