FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL VIOLENTLY ERUPTS FROM TANK MOUTH WHEN FILLING AND OVERFLOWS ONTO THE VEHICLE, GROUND & MYSELF. THIS OCCURS AT EACH COMPLETE FILL-UP. THIS 2005 JEEP WRANGLER SPORADICALLY TRIPS OBD-2 CHECK ENGINE CODES FOR EMISSION EVAPORATIVE COMPONENTS, IN THE P0440-P0456 RANGE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THE PUMP WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AND THERE IS A HUGE SPRAY OF GASOLINE OUT OF THE TANK. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME, YOU ARE FORCED TO LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF THE GAS AND JUDGE WHEN IT IS ABOUT TO SPILL OUT IN ORDER TO PREVENT IT. (NOTE: I NO LONGER OWN THIS VEHICLE, BUT I AM DOCUMENTING IT HERE SINCE I HAVE HEARD THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM.) *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING A BUMP AND WILL NOT STOP SHAKING UNTIL VEHICLE IS BROUGHT TO A STOP. DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT 5 TIMES BETWEEN AUGUST 06 AND JANUARY 07. DEALER REPLACED STEERING DAMPNER IN AUGUST, 2006. REPLACED TRAC BAR IN DECEMBER, 2006. I HAD INDEPENDENT SHOP CHECK FRONT END. FOUND NOTHING OUT OF SPEC. AT ONE POINT DEALER CLAIMED THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY TIRES. NEW TIRES FIXED PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME. HAD TIRES BALANCED 4 TIMES IN 2009. REPLACED STABILIZER SHOCK AGAIN IN AUGUST, 2009 AND AGAIN IN DECEMBER OF 2011 WITH HEAVY DUTY ONE. PROBLEM PERSISTS TODAY IN JANUARY OF 2012. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL ALWAYS SPEWS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN ALLOWING THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF OF THE GAS PUMP. IT HAPPENS WITH EVERY GAS STATION I USE. I WOULD ESTIMATE ABOUT 1 TO 2 CUPS OF FUEL SPILL OUT AND ONTO THE GROUND EACH TIME I FILL UP. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT INVOLVES A FAULTY VALVE IN THE WRANGLER GAS TANK. JEEP NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE OVERFLOWS AND SPEWS OUT OF THE GAS TANK OPENING. THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS FUELED AND OCCURS AS THE TANK REACHES FULL. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND UNHEALTHY SITUATION WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER. I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND THIS IS A KNOWN AND WIDELY REPORTED ISSUE, BUT NOT YET RESOLVED BY CHRYSLER. *TR

#10443134January 9, 2012
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN REFUELING A SIGNIFICANT QUANTITY (ESTIMATED AT 8 OUNCES OR MORE) OF GASOLINE IS "SPIT BACK" OR DISCHARGED FROM THE FUEL FILLER OPENING AS THE TANK REACHES FULL. THIS DISCHARGE PRODUCES A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE AT LEAST 24" IN DIAMETER AND LEAVES THE EXTERIOR AND UNDERSIDE OF THE FENDER DRIPPING WITH GASOLINE AND DEPENDING ON THE FILLER HOSE CONFIGURATION MAY SOAK THE CLOTHING OF THE PERSON OPERATING THE PUMP. THIS EVENT OCCURS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS REFUELED UNLESS CARE IS TAKEN TO STOP ADDING FUEL BEFORE THE TANK REACHES FULL CAPACITY. CLEARLY THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS, ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SITUATION!! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN I TRY TO FILL MY TANK USING THE AUTOFILL OPTION ON THE FUEL PUMP HANDLE, THE FUEL DOESN'T SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND WILL COME SPLASHING OUT IN FORCE. MY SOLUTION THUS FAR IS TO BE AWARE OF THE GALLON AMOUNT AS I FUEL THE VEHICLE, THEN WHEN IT GETS FAIRLY CLOSE, I TRY TO TRICKLE THE FUEL IN SO AS NOT TO SPLASH TOO MUCH FUEL OUT ON TO THE GROUND OR MY PANTS AND SHOES. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE SHUTOFF VALVE TO PREVENT FUEL OVERFLOW DOES NOT APPEAR TO WORK PROPERLY AND THE RESULT IS THAT FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM THE FILLER NECK AND RUNS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT'S FILLED UP REGARDLESS OF HOW QUICKLY OR SLOWLY I REGULATE THE FLOW OF FUEL INTO THE TANK. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER, THE FULL HOSE WILL NOT SHUT OFF AND GAS SHOOTS OUT ALL OVER THE FENDER AND THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER I USE THE AUTO SHUT OFF OR HOLD THE NOZZLE, THE GAS STILL SHOOTS OUT CREATING A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUELING STOPPER ASSEMBLY DOES NOT TRIGGER GAS STATION PUMP NOZZLE TO STOP DISPENSING FUEL ON TIME. THE RESULT IS SPILLED FUEL EVERY TIME DUE TO FUEL OVER FLOW FROM FUEL TANK WHEN EVER A FUEL FILL UP IS ATTEMPTED. THIS HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME. *TR
