My jeep with 86k miles engine blew. One week earlier when driving over 40 miles per hour it seemed to wobble a bit from left to right, I thought maybe it was because I had 4 wheel drive on. I have only owned it for a month and it is a 2nd vehicle and I was not sure if that was normal or not. Then after not driving the vehicle for 4 days I moved it out of my driveway and was less then a block from my home when the oil light came on and half a block later the engine cut out. The car wouldnt start again and I had it towed to the dealer where I purchased it. They told me the internal fuel pump seemed to malfunction and the engine was blown! When I returned home I noticed a pool of oil in my driveway. This car sat for days and was barely driven by me since my purchase. How does an engine at 86k miles just blow? How does oil just dump out of a vehicle? Why? Well doing internet research it appears that this 2007 engine year there was a mistake in the engines where pistons were put in upside down? There was no recall for this and many 2007 jeeps have had this happen. I am lucky it happened on a local road, if I was driving 65 in middle lane of a highway and my engine just shut off I would be dead. I couldnt steer it. It just stopped..... I have tried calling chrysler and have been transfered many times to other people, I am at a loss of what to do. Again, I have had this vehicle 1.5 months...

What owners say
07 jeep wrangler: fuel spills out of the filler neck when the tank is filled. The fuel spits back out before the fuel pump auto shut-off clicks in.
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!
When re-fueling tank, a large amount of fuel overflows from filler neck as tank is nearing full. This problem occurs every time fuel pump is not manually stopped prior to tank reaching capacity. No fires or injuries have occurred, and nothing to date has been done to correct the problem.
Fuel spraying out of fuel tank when filling up at pump. 2007 jeep wrangler. This occurs on every fill up. No damage other than fuel spraying all over vehicle, fuel pump area, etc.
