What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
My airbag did not deploy as a result of the crash. I suffered injuries to my left hand, left thumb, left wrist, left forearm, left shoulder, left side of my neck, left scapula, chest, right hip, left knee, left, shin, and lower back. As of this time, I am still treating my injuries.
My jeep gets what they call a death shudder...it does it sparatically at around 40 mph...everything in the front shakes horribly and feels like its going to fall apart ...on any road...going straight...no bumps involved
At about 50 to 70 mph, there is a violent shaking. I've looked it up and may have referred to it a 'desth wobble' extremely terrifying and you have to suddenly slow down in heavy traffic which could cause an accident. Also. Onlookers can get distracted due to the shaking and haven an accident as well.
Each time I add fuel from a gas pump, once the pump stops automatically, the fuel spits out fuel, as if there is too much air getting into the tank and pushing out the fuel. This happens all the time, and gas gets all over my tire cover, jeep body, and even sometimes on me, if I am holding the pump.

Two weeks ago I when to the dealer to detail clean my jeep, I park at the entrance of the shop, when they where going to take my jeep in for cleaning, it will not start, they had to push the jeep into the shop, after checking it for a wild, they told me that it burn a fuse, they replace it and everything was find.
Greetings, my 2007 jeep weangler has a fueling issue. When ever I fuel my jeep it overflows and spits gas back at me when ever the tank gets close to full. This happens every time and at multiple gas stations.
You hit a bump or a pothole going anywhere from 40 to 60 mph or so, and the whole front end begins to shake violently. Steering wheel shakes, wheels are wobbling back and forth like crazy, and the car is hard to control. There is no way to stop it until you pull off the road and stop the vehicle.
