WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE GAS WILL SHOOT OUT OF THE FUEL HOLE WHEN THE TANK NEARS FULL. POURING GAS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND AND YOU, IF YOUR STANDING NEAR THE VEHICLE FUELING AREA.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STRETCH OF US-61 NORTH OF GONZALES, LA. A PHENOMENON KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE" OCCURRED ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. AFTER TAKING IT TO A LOCAL SHOP THAT HAVE COME TO DISCOVER THAT THE TRACK BAR HAS COME LOOSE AND STATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT JEEP REFUSES TO ADDRESS IT. I WAS TOLD TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE FRONT SUSPENSION BECAUSE THE VIOLENT SHAKING LIKELY COULD HAVE MESSED UP BALL JOINTS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS OUT IN TRAFFIC, DESPITE BATTERY BEING FULLY CHARGED. WITH A RESTART, THE BATTERY SYMBOL REMAINS ILLUMINATED, AND EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT AGAIN. OCCURRED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC CREATING TRAFFIC HAZARD. REMAINS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT IS ONLY REMEDIED BY COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF ENGINE AND WAITING SEVERAL MINUTES, THEN RESTARTING IT AND CHECKING TO CONFIRM THAT THE BATTERY SYMBOL IS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. SOMETIMES A BATTERY JUMP-START IS REQUIRED. ONE DANGEROUS ALTERNATIVE IS TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION WHILE VEHICLE IS ROLLING, RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, BUT OBVIOUS HAZARDS OF LOCKED STEERING WHEEL, LOSS OF CONTROL AND POSSIBLE CRASHES WOULD RESULT.

VEHICLE SUFFERS EXTREME SHAKING AND WOBBLING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH, BECOMES PARTICULARLY WORSE ON LANE CHANGES AND CURVED ROADS. HAPPENS WHETHER THE SURFACE IS WET OR DRY. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT; MEANING, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT IS PARTICULARLY WORSE IN MORNINGS WHEN VEHICLE IS "COLD" OR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN OVERNIGHT. THE VIOLENT SHAKING MAKES VEHICLE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER OR MAINTAIN IN LANE, PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION FROM CHRYSLER/JEEP.

FUEL SPIT BACK ISSUE! I RECENTLY JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP FROM A LOCAL DEALER THAT FIRST NIGHT WHILE LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I WENT TO FILL UP MY TANK. THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T FILL UP YOUR TANK IF YOU BUY A USED CAR. WHILE STANDING AND WAITING FOR THE PUMP NOZZLE TO STOP I DID WHAT I USUALLY DO AND WAITED BY THE FUEL NOZZLE. AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE CLICKED LETTING ME KNOW THAT THE TANK WAS FULL AND UPON TAKING OUT THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE I NOTICED THAT ABOUT 3/4 OF A QUART OF GAS POURED OUT ALL OVER MY SHOES. AT FIRST I DIDN'T MIND THIS BUT AFTER A FEW TIMES OF REFUELING TO FULL THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME! IT SEEMS AS IF THERE IS PRESSURE IN THE TANK THAT BUILDS UP AND IS NOT RELEASED DURING FILLING. EACH AND EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN AND PUMP UNTIL FULL ALSO IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE FUEL PUMP IS ON HIGH PRESSURE OR LOW PRESSURE. GAS POURS OUT!
