FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TO 1/2 GALLON OF FUEL BACK FLOWS FORCEFULLY OUT OF FILLER NECK IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF THE HANDLE WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHEN THE HANDLE IS LOCKED DOWN IN FUELING POSITION AND AUTOMATICALLY CLICKS OFF AND WHEN I AM HOLDING THE HANDLE TO FILL THE TANK. AT NO TIME AM I ATTEMPTING TO OVERFILL THE TANK BEYOND THE SAFETY SHUT OFF.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY JEEP IS EXPERIENCING PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE OIL PUMP DRIVE ASSEMBLY (OPDA), WITH ONLY 31,000 MILES ON THE JEEP. THE FAILURE WAS NOTICED WHEN A CHIRPING WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE OPDA UPON ENGINE START UP. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO HAD ME GET THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AT A LOCAL JEEP DEALER, WHICH LED TO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE OIL PUMP DRIVE GEAR. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DRIVE GEAR DID NOTHING TO ELIMINATE THE CHIRPING. THERE WAS SOME WEAR ON THE DRIVE GEAR WHEN IT WAS REPLACED. A SEARCH ON JEEPFORUM.COM INDICATES THE PROBLEM WITH THE OPDA IS A BUSHING THAT ISN'T GETTING OIL, DUE TO A SEAL THAT IS BLOCKING OIL FLOW. THE PART COMES PACKED WITH GREASE, BUT WHEN IT WEARS OUT THERE IS NO LONGER LUBRICATION. CHRYSLER RELEASED A SERVICE BULLETIN (E05) REFERENCE THIS ISSUE, BUT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE OPDA IS OF FAULTY DESIGN AND CONTINUES TO SUPPLY FAULTY OPDA'S WHEN A REPLACEMENT IS IN FACT SUPPLIED. A RECALL SHOULD BE IN PLACE, BUT IS NOT. IN FACT CUSTOMERS ARE LUCKY TO GET ANY ASSISTANCE IN COVERING THE COST OF REPAIRS IF THEY ARE NOT THE FIRST OWNER OR ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. THIS PROBLEM PLACES ALL JEEP OWNERS WITH 2005 BUILD DATES AT RISK OF ENGINE FAILURE, DUE TO A KNOWN FAULTY FACTORY PART, WHICH COULD RESULT AT ANYTIME, INCLUDING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS COULD RESULT IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT, FIRE OR BOTH, WHICH IN TURN COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH OF THE OCCUPANTS OF SAID VEHICLES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CHRYSLER CHANGED THE OIL PUMP DRIVE ASSEMBLY (OPDA) ON 2005-06 MODEL JEEP WRANGLERS. THE OPDA WAS DESIGNED WITH A SEAL PREVENTING OIL FROM LUBRICATING THE UPPER BUSHING CAUSING PREMATURE FAILURES. THESE FAILURES WILL RESULT IN A IMMEDIATE DROP IN OIL PRESSURE CAUSING THE POTENTIAL FOR COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS WILL RESULT IN SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE AND MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY AND/OR BODILY INJURY. CHRYSLER ISSUED A TSB (E05R) ON CERTAIN MODELS, HOWEVER THIS HAS BECOME A LARGER ISSUE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
STARTING IN NOVEMBER 2010 WITH LESS THAN 34,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHEN FILLING UP WITH FUEL THE JEEP WILL OVER FLOW ONCE FULL. NOW EVERY TIME THE FUEL NOZZLE IS CLICKED TO HOLD IN THE ON POSITION, FOR SOME REASON IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF IN TIME, NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I USE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MYSELF AS WELL BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. I WOULD THINK THAT JEEP WOULD ISSUE A FULL RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP WHICH I PURCHASED THE JEEP DID REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, AND OTHER COMPONENTS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, IT 'SPITS BACK' FUEL BEFORE SHUTTING OFF LEAVING GAS DRIPPING DOWN MY FENDERS AND ONTO THE GROUND. IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE TOO MUCH GAS BUT STILL LEAVES EVERYTHING WET WITH GAS INCLUDING THE GAS PUMP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN USING THE AUTO SHUT-OFF FEATURE OF THE PUMP. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN ON THE LOW SPEED SETTING. THIS STARTED AROUND 50K MILES AND CONTINUES NOW AT 55K MILES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. SOMETIMES WHEN I USE THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ON THE GAS PUMP, IT SHUTS OFF TOO LATE AND ~0.25 GAL. OF GASOLINE WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILL PORT AND SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AT EVERY PUMP, BUT FREQUENTLY ENOUGH THAT I CAN NO LONGER USE THE AUTO FILLING FEATURE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER I SET THE "AUTO HOLD TAB" OR MANUALLY DEPRESS THE PUMP HANDLE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND NOT A SINGLE-TIME EVENT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK AND THE GAS NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK AFTER ABOUT A 2 SECOND DELAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH THE JEEP WRANGLER ON LOCAL GAS PUMPS THAT I USE FREQUENTLY TO FILL MY HONDA CIVIC WITHOUT INCIDENT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
STARTING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD, GASOLINE PUMPS NO LONGER SHUT OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING FILLED WITH GAS AND THE TANK BECOMES FULL. GAS CONTINUES TO PUMP, SPILLING FROM THE VEHICLE, AND THE PUMP HAS TO BE MANUALLY SHUT OFF. IT DIDN'T DO THIS WHEN NEW, NOR DID MY PRIOR WRANGLER (2000 MODEL OWNED FOR 5 YEARS).
