FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWING SINCE IT WAS ALMOST NEW. JEEP HAS REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY HAZARD THAT THIS FLAW CAUSES EACH AND EVERY TIME THESE JEEPS ARE FUELED UP. AT THE POINT OF FILLING UP, THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS SENDING LARGE AMOUNTS OF GAS ON THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A TERRIBLE FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD THAT COULD LEAD TO PUBLIC INJURY AND EVEN DEATH IF IT CAUSED A FIRE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE A VIDEO OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING IF NEEDED TO GET THIS ADDRESSED. ABSENT ACTION BEING TAKEN HERE, I AM NOT SURE WHERE TO TURN OTHER THAN MAINSTREAM MEDIA TO GET ACTION TO BE TAKEN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
BOUGHT THIS JEEP USED IN FEB 2011. IT SPILLS FUEL EVERYWHERE DURING FILL UP AT GAS PUMP WHEN NOZZLE CUTS OFF. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME AND AT MULTIPLE STATIONS. I HAVE TO USUALLY ONLY PUT 15-18 GALLONS IN TO PREVENT IT FROM SPILLING OVER. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES IT HAS SPIT AND SPILLED ON MYSELF OR MY WIFE DURING FUELING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I GET GAS AT THE PUMP, AT THE END OF FILLING THE TANK IT GUSHES OUT A TON OF GASOLINE ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP, ALL OVER THE PUMP/HANDLE ITSELF, CREATING A DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME. I'VE READ ONLINE IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE BUT HASN'T YET HAD A RECALL OR A FIX? SO AM FILING IN HOPES OF A FIX FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I'VE ALSO READ THERE IS SOME KIND OF FIX BUT IT MAY BE COSTLY. BUT IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS RESOLVED. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THE PUMP WILL STOP PUMPING GAS BUT THE FUEL WILL SPLASH OUT OF THE FILL PORT ON MY JEEP. THERE ARE MANY YOUTUBE VIDS SHOWING THIS PROBLEM. GAS IS EXPENSIVE SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE BLOWN HEAD GASKET. ONE WEEK AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE MALFUNCTION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AS I WENT TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND PLACED THE JEEP IN REVERSE THE HORN HONKED A COUPLE TIMES. AFTER I PUT IT IN PARK TO MAKE SURE IT WAS OK I REVERSED AGAIN AND THEN THE HORN STARTED HONKING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING AND IT STARTED SPRAYING WASHER FLUID. AFTER TAKING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS. THE VEHICLE WAS FINE ON THE DRIVE TO WORK BUT ONCE I PARKED AND WALKED IN THE DOOR IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. THE NEXT MORNING I DROVE IT (2 DAYS LATER) I NOTICED MY HEAT WOULDN'T WORK, TRIED THE A/C, AND STILL NOTHING. ONCE I WAS MOVING I TRIED AGAIN AND IT WAS WORKING, BUT ONCE I STOPPED AT A LIGHT IT STOPPED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE SEALER THAT AFTERNOON AND THEY SUSPECT THE TIPM NEEDS REPLACING BUT THERE ARE 178 ON BACK ORDER. THIS IS CONCERNING SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A LARGE PROBLEM AND THE FORUMS ARE COVERED IN STORIES OF THE SAME THING. THAT NIGHT DRIVING HOME MY JEEP STARTED HONKING, SPAYING WASHER FLUID AND WIPING WHILE DRIVING. ONCE THAT STOPPED MY A/C WENT OUT AGAIN AFTER THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FIXED IT BECAUSE IT'S CHARGE WAS APPARENTLY LOW. MY HEAT AND A/C HAVE SINCE STOPPED WORKING MOST OF THE TIME, OCCASIONALLY WILL WORK. LAST NIGHT WHILE DRIVING HOME MY HORN, WIPERS, WASHER FLUID AND DOOR LOCKS WERE ALL GOING FOR ABOUT 3, MINUTES. I HAD PEOPLE PULLING OVER OUT OF MY WAY BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT I WAS HONKING AT THEM. I HAVE SINCE UNPLUGGED THE HORN AND SEE THIS AS A HAZARD. IT WAS DARK AND SPRAYING WASHER FLUID INTERMITTENTLY FOR 3 OR SO MINUTES WAS VERY DISTRACTING AND KEEP INTERFERING WITH MY VISIBILITY. TODAY MY DOOR LOCKS KEEP CLICKING AS I DRIVE. I HAVE HAD ISSUES PERIODICALLY DURING THE DAY WHEN THE I CAN HEAR THE HORN HONKING WHEN THE KEY IS NOT IN THE IGNITION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
UPON OPENING THE DOOR, THE HORN AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS BEGAN TO OPERATE INCESSANTLY AND ELECTRICAL ARCING COULD BE HEARD UNDER THE HOOD. THE ENGINE STARTED AND I TAPPED THE TIPM AND EVERYTHING STOPPED, INCLUDING THE ENGINE. WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE, I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE HORN OR WIPERS, BUT THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WAS ON. THE JEEP DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY TIPM WHICH WILL COST AROUND $200 AND TWO HOURS OF LABOR TO INSTALL AND PROGRAM. HE SAID THERE ARE MORE THAN 20 OF THESE MODULES BACKORDERED ACROSS THE NATION AND COULDN'T TELL US WHETHER IT WOULD BE DAYS OR WEEKS UNTIL IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE. WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE SAFE TO DRIVE, HE SAID THAT WE COULD LOSE TOTAL CONTROL AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING. CONSIDERING THIS AND THE ELECTRICAL ARCING WE HEARD UNDER THE HOOD, I THINK THAT THIS SHOULD CONSTITUTE A SAFETY RECALL. OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AT HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 363,000.

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

MY VEHICLE FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS EVERYTIME I FILL THE TANK. IT APPEARS THAT PRESSURE IS BUILDING IN THE TANK FORCING GAS BACK UP THROUGH THE FILL PORT AFTER THE NOZZLE HAS SHUT OFF. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT FUELING STATIONS. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT IS MY ONLY OPTION. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE OWNED AND FUELED THIS VEHICLE FOR THREE YEARS WITHOUT INCIDENCE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT ASSURE ME THAT THIS REPLACEMENT TANK WOULD NOT DEVELOP THE SAME PROBLEM OVER TIME. THIS IS MY FOURTH JEEP AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE NOW. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING IN MY 2008 RHD JEEP WRANGLER HAS FAILED AND BEEN REPLACED TWICE AT MY EXPENSE. THE FIRST WAS 09/13/10 @ 39693 MILES AND AGAIN 12/15/11 @ 69120 MILES. I FOUND ON YOUR SITE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN PROGRESS, L37 FOR 2008 - 2012 RHD JEEP WRANGLERS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. MY CONCERN IS: HOW MANY OTHER RHD JEEP WRANGLERS ARE THERE OUT THERE THAT HAVE OR MAY EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? IT APPEARS OBVIOUS THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED. I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR THESE REPAIRS IF NEEDED AND FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFO. *TR
