What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2007 Jeep Wrangler 2-Dr 4X4 Rhd, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

THE FUEL OVER FLOWS WHEN REFUELING. *TR
2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK (2 DOOR) SPITS BACK FUEL AND SPILLS ABOUT A CUP OF FUEL WHEN GAS STATION PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT THE END OF FILLING THE TANK REGARDLESS OF THE PACE THE FUEL IS PUMPED (AMOUNT SPILLED IS LESS AT LOWER PUMP RATE BUT STILL HAPPENS). THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 27,000 MILES. IT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THAT. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUES SINCE IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FUELED. *TR

THE "CLOCK SPRING" FAILED IN MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON. THE "CLOCK SPRING" IS THE DEVICE WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL HUB THAT THE ELECTRICITY PASSES THROUGH ALLOW IN THE AIRBAG, HORN, AND CRUISE CONTROL TO WORK WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS BEING TURNED. WHEN THE CLOCK SPRING FAILS THESE ITEMS DO NOT WORK. THE SERVICE WRITER AT KEFFER JEEP IN CHARLOTTE NORTH CAROLINA, 704-532-1050, EXPLAINED THERE IS MORE THAN 500 BACK ORDERED AND IT WILL BE UP TO A YEAR BEFORE THE PART ARRIVES. THIS MEANS THERE ARE CURRENTLY MORE THAN 500 JEEP OF ALL MODELS (ALL MODEL JEEPS USE THE SAME CLOCK SPRING) DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT FUNCTIONAL AIRBAG SYSTEMS. *TR
