FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE CAR WITH GASOLINE, THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF DOES NOT OCCUR AND FUEL BLOWS OUT OF THE JEEP AND DOWN ON THE GROUND AND ME IF I AM CLOSE. IT APPEARS THAT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLS. THIS OCCURS AT ALL FILL UPS IT IS NOT GAS STATION SPECIFIC. THIS CAN BE A DANGER IF IT SPEWS ON SOMETHING HOT. ALSO I WOULD THINK THAT IT'S AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN AND IT STINKS. VERY FRUSTRATING PROBLEM! *TR

#10447057February 7, 2012
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE DESIGN OF THE FUEL TANK IN THE WRANGLER UNLIMITED EDITION MADE FROM 2004 TO 2006 CAUSES IT TO HOLD AN AIR BUBBLE AND BLOW A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS OUT OF THE FILLER SPOUT WHEN PUTTING FUEL IN. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE JEEP IS FILLED UP WITH GAS. THESE SPILLS ARE AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE AS WELL AS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE OIL PUMP DRIVE ASSEMBLY (OPDA) UPPER BUSHING HAS NO WAY TO LUBRICATE DUE TO MANUFACTURING ERROR IN THE 2005 AND 2006 4.0 ENGINE. THIS CAUSES HIGH METAL TO METAL SCRAPING SOUND AND WILL RESULT IN ENGINE FAILURE. HAPPENED AFTER 38000 MILES IN A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE. TALKED TO MANY JEEP DEALERS AND SERVICE TECH'S AND THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ANY ASSISTANCE OR SUGGESTIONS FOR A FIX. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. EVERY TIME I FILL GAS, WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF GASOLINE COMES SPRAYING OUT OF THE VEHICLE'S TANK AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. APPROXIMATELY A CUP OR MORE COMES OUT OF THE JEEP'S TANK. I THINK THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE NHTSA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT BY THIS DEFECT. A RECALL FOR THE ITEM SHOULD BE MANDATED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND JEEP SHOULD BE FORCED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS PRETTY WIDESPREAD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS TANK SPITS BACK OUT GAS AS SOON AS THE FILLING STOPS. THERE IS ENOUGH GAS LOST TO SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. I HAVE USED DIFFERENT PUMPS AT THE SAME STATION AND FINALLY WENT TO OTHER STATIONS AND THE SAME HAS HAPPENED EACH TIME I GAS UP MY VEHICLE. I JUST RETURNED FROM THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE CHECK VALVE AND I WOULD NEED A COSTLY REPLACEMENT OF THE WHOLE TANK. I SEE NOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS GAS TANK. LOSING EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF GAS IS COSTLY NOT TO MENTION THE POTENTIAL DANGER OF FREE GAS SPILLING OUT. A RECALL IS NEEDED WHICH IS NOT LIMITED TO ONLY CERTAIN YEARS. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT THE FILLER NECK BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY AND AT ALL GAS STATIONS TRIED. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND OCCURS ON MANY JEEP WRANGLER VEHICLES. *TT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GUSHES OUT OF TANK DURING EVERY FILL UP. MAYBE 3-9 FL. OUNCES POUR OUT, MAYBE MORE. THIS HAPPENS IF THE PUMP IS SET ON AUTO FILL, THE PUMP CLICKS OFF, BUT A SPLIT-SECOND LATER FUELS COMES OUT FOAMING. IF THE PUMP IS MANUALLY OPERATED AND THE LEVER IS EASED SO THAT IT PUMPS ABOUT HALF SPEED OR LESS, IT DOES NOT GUSH OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGH THE CAR NEW, I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I HAS NEVER NOT DONE IT ON AUTO FILL AND IT TAKES SKILL TO AVOID IT. *TT
