FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
SINCE PURCHASE IN NOVEMBER, THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS SHOT FUEL OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER WHEN IT REACHES A FULL TANK. THE GAS PUMP WILL SHUT OFF, BUT NEVER BEFORE IT HAS EXPELLED FUEL ONTO ME PERSONALLY, MY SHOES, THE GROUND, THE FILLER CAP (WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE BY TETHER), AND DOWN THE BODY PANEL BELOW THE FILLER. THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE AND HEALTH HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND OTHER PATRONS OF THE FUEL STATION. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE BUSHING THAT ATTACHES THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER LINKAGE CABLE BROKE AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS RENDERED INOPERABLE. THIS SITUATION HAS HUNDREDS OF INCIDENTS DETAILED ON THE INTERNET AND JEEP SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THE EFFECTED VEHICLES SINCE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURER PART. CHRYSLER/JEEP IS BEING DISHONEST WITH CONSUMERS BY SAYING THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, YET THE PARTS MANAGER AT MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE AND JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE, IS THE DEFECTIVE SHIFTER TUBE SLEEVE NYLON INSERT THAT CRACKS. THIS IS ALSO WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE JEEP FORUMS. JEEP IS AWARE THAT BOTH PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE AND THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE FOR OWNERS. PLEASE HELP! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS AT CALIFORNIA PUMPS, THE NOZZLE KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW I TRY TO FILL, WHAT ANGLE I TURN THE NOZZLE, OR HOW DEEP I ENTER THE NOZZLE, IT KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. IT TAKES ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO FILL THE TANK, A FEW SECONDS AT A TIME. *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
JUST PURCHASED THIS USED JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON ABOUT 2 1/2 MONTHS AGO AND EVERYTIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, FUEL PUKES BACK OUT THE FILLER OPENING AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE ALL OVER THE GROUND BEFORE THE GAS PUMP CAN SHUT OFF. SEEMS REALLY DANGEROUS NOT TO MENTION MAKING A BIG, EMBARRASSING MESS. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE I REFUEL, HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED (LJ) THAT I PURCHASED IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. FROM DAY 1, LIKE MANY OTHERS, WHEN I FILL THE VEHICLE'S FUEL TANK, THE PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF, CAUSING FUEL TO SPRAY / SPILL OUT AND RUN DOWN THE BODY ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE CHECKED INTO. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE DEATH WOBBLE. *TR
