What owners report
LESS THAN 30 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA, I WAS DRIVING IT AND WENT TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE, MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN SLIGHTLY BUT NOT AS MUCH AS IT NORMALLY DID, IT PULLED TO THE LEFT, AND WOBBLED WHENEVER I PRESSED THE BRAKES CAUSING ME TO MOMENTARILY LOOSE CONTROL AS A RESULT OF IT FISH TAILING. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP OR SLOW THE VEHICLE IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME AS IT NORMALLY TOOK TO DO SO. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO AN AUTO MECHANIC. I TOOK IT TO POPE DAVIS TIRE & AUTOMOTIVE LOCATED AT 631 S ASSEMBLY STREET IN COLUMBIA SOUTH CAROLINA WHERE I WAS
WHEN REFUELING, REGARDLESS OF FILL LEVEL THE GAS WILL NOT FLOW INTO TANK PROPERLY ON LEVEL GROUND, AND SPEWS OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND/CAR/PERSON. IT WILL NOT TAKE FUEL IN ANY POSITION. IT TAKES ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES TO REFUEL FROM EMPTY. IT WILL TAKE GAS UNTIL THE FILLER NECK FILLS UP AND THEN YOU HAVE TO STOP AND LET IT DRAIN INTO TANK. YOU HAVE TO REPEAT THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL FULL.
WHEN FILILNG THE FUEL TANK, NO MATTER WHICH GAS STATION I USE, THE TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN FULL, SPILLING GASOLINE BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTOFF CAN ACTIVATE. THIS IS STATIONARY, TURNED OFF, AND LEVEL. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE FEB 2015 AND IT IS A HIGHLY REPEATABLE PROBLEM.
MY WIFE CALLED ME FROM WORK SAYING HER JEEP WAS SMOKING AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE. I RUSHED TO HER JOB AND FOUND SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE JEEP. WHAT I FOUND WAS DEBRIS WAS STUCK BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE EXHAUST PIPE IN THE CENTER OF THE JEEP. PINESTRAW BEEN COLLECTING THERE AND WAS SMOLDERING. I THOUGHT THAT WAS A FLUKE BUT MUCH TO MY SURPRISE MY WIFE PULLED INTO THE GARAGE 2 DAYS AGO AND THE CAR SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING AND I REMOVED ABOUT 10 HANDFULS OF PINESTRAW THAT WAS SMOLDERING. WE DO NOT PARK THE CAR IN THE GARAGE ANYMORE FOR FEAR OF A FIRE. WHAT MAKES NO SENSE IS THE DEBRIS NOT COLLECTING BEHIND THE TIRES BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAR. IT IS MY OPINION THAT JEEP SHOULD FOLLOW
EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS!!! LEAVING GAS ALL OVER THE GROUND, ME AND MY POOR JEEP. WITH GAS RUNNING ON MY BUMPER AND WELL DISCOLORING IT. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE.
