Two main problems - the gas tank was replace on my 2008 jeep wrangler due to over flow problems, after reading a few discussion boards I noticed this is a huge problem. When filling the gas tank the auto shut off would signify that the tank was full, upon pulling the nozzle about a pint of gas would blow back at you. My local dealership did replace the tank, but I think this is a major danger and should be looked into. My second problem is that the jeep will stall for no reason. This has happened three times. The entire electrical system shorts out for a brief moment. No power brakes, no lights, no radio. Again discussion boards have been discussing this issue with the jeeps. In both above cases jeep turned a blind eye, my local dealership replaced the tank at their own expense after jeep dismissed the claim. Please look into these dangerous situations, before somebody is maimed or killed.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chrysler jeep wrangler. While driving 40mph down a steep hill, the engine shut off. The vehicle lost the power steering and brakes. The fuel gage displayed empty; however, the vehicle had a 1/2 a tank of gas. The dealer has been unable to diagnose the failure. The contact conducted a test four times and each time after 4 minutes the engine stalled, began to coast and the engine shut off. The mechanic was in the vehicle on one of those occasions. The current and failure mileage were 900. There were no injuries.
I was going down a steep hill on a remote trail with a half a tank of gas. After 10 minutes the fuel gauge showed empty and the engine died, I lost my brakes just when I needed them the most. I could not stop the car and we plunged down the very very steep hill with no way to stop or to steer. For some reason in a steep down hill the engine did notnot get fuel. Losing brakes and steering power just when it is needed the most is an accident and a law suite waiting to happen.
