| Description of the problem | Bought 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited x in april 2010. 2 months later while filling it up at the gas station the gas came pouring back out. I thought pump was broken actually informed clerk. Happened again 3 fill-ups later. Around that time started having a shimmy in front end. Brought it back to dealer on several occasions. Was told they never heard of gas coming back out i must be doing something wrong and the shimmy was "normal" for jeeps. Been having major issues with this truck it has been in the shop more than any vehicle i have ever owned. I've only bought used. I've had to have the 02 sensors changed 4 times. I have my tires balanced several times. My tires rotated. Alignments, etc. I have also replaced the steering damper. Fast forward to 2013. Shimmy is so bad i almost took out another driver. Thankfully i'm a commercially trained driver otherwise it could have ended badly. Still have gas pouring out every fill up. 02 sensors still keep crapping out. Head gaskets had to be replaced already. I finally had enough and told dealer they need to fix no more games and i find out about the tsb for the steering damper. Then i also have to be told that my main rear oil seal is now leaking and my tranny coolant lines are leaking??? Oh and was told that all this was normal for jeeps as well???? Really!!!!! The truck only has 66k miles on it. It's all original no lift kits, no off roading, nothing.... This is bull... For the amount of money i paid for this vehicle somebody should be doing something. I find his site and lo and behold... I'm not the only one... Unbelievable!!!! |
