Owner report 10186133 · 2007-03-26 (March 26, 2007)

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. *AK

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2008 WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON WITH 37,000 MILES ON 1/21/2011. THE DEALER OFFERED A FREE TANK OF GAS WITH A WITH THE PURCHASE SO WE WENT DOWN TO THE LOCAL FILLING STATION AND HE PROCEEDED TO FILL THE JEEP UP . I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME AND INSIDE THE JEEP THE SMELL OF GAS WAS VERY PRONOUNCED. AS HE WALKED AWAY TO PAY THE FOR THE GAS I GOT OUT OF THE JEEP AND THERE WAS A 2FT PUDDLE OF GASOLINE BEHIND THE JEEP. HE AND I GOT BACK IN TO THE JEEP AND HE COMPLAINED THAT THE PUMP DID NOT SHUT OFF AND HAD SPILLED…

I FEEL THIS FLAW SHOULD MERIT EXPEDITED FACTORY REVIEW AND REDESIGN…
