FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE LAST THREE OR SO TIMES I'VE FILLED THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF ON THE PUMP DOES NOT ENGAGE UNTIL FUEL HAS OVERFLOWED THE TANK AND SPILLED ONTO THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHICH FUEL STATION I GO TO. EACH INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED AT A FUEL STATION WHERE I USED TO BE ABLE TO FILL MY TANK WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT AN INVESTIGATION IS ALREADY OPEN REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I WOULD THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER CONSIDERING THE PROXIMITY OF THE FUEL SPILL TO HOT BRAKE PADS AND OTHER POTENTIAL SOURCES OF IGNITION.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE IS SPIT BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF RELEASES AND THE TANK IS FULL. IF THE FILLER NOZZLE HAS SPLASH GUARD, SPILLED FUEL RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ON TO THE GROUND. OTHERWISE FUEL IS SHOT OUT UP TO 5 FEET AND COVER ANYTHING OR ANYBODY WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE SPILL. NO REMEDY FOUND, IT ALWAYS HAPPENS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE REFUELING MY VEHICLE, THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF IN TIME TO PREVENT AN OVERFLOW AND SPILL OF GASOLINE ONTO MY PERSON AND THE GROUND. THIS WILL HAPPEN EVERYTIME I FILL UP.. THE ONLY COMPENSATOR ACTION I HAVE TAKEN THUS FAR IS TO ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT IS NEEDED FOR A FILL UP AND MAKE SURE I STOP REFUELING APPROXIMATELY 1 GALLON AHEAD OF THIS POINT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
6 MONTHS PRIOR, VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY NOT START. NOTICED CORROSION ON BATTERY, CLEANED AND REPLACED CONNECTION PARTS. IT WORKED FINE UNTIL TODAY. POWER LOCKS WENT OUT. CHECKED FUSE, WAS BLOWN. NOTICED MORE CORROSION ON BATTERY ON OPPOSITE SIDE THIS TIME. TRIED REPLACING FUSE AND IT BLEW AS WE WERE REPLACING IT (SPARKS COMING OUT OF CONNECTION, MELTING A PRONG). CLEANED OFF BATTERY CORROSION AND GOT ABSOLUTELY NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHEN TRIED TO START IT. CLEANED IN BETWEEN BATTERY/WIRE CONNECTIONS AND WHEN REASSEMBLING THE HORN, WIPERS, COOLANT FAN, AND LIGHTS WOULD RANDOMLY GO ON & OFF. VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY HAVE POWER TO START, THEN WOULD NOT WORK AGAIN. ENDED UP TOWING IT TO DEALER, WITHOUT POWER. CURRENTLY WAITING FOR DIAGNOSIS. *TR

FUEL SPRAY EVERYTIME I FILL THE VEHICLE. FUEL PUMP DOES NOT SENSE TANK IS FULL AND SPRAYS FUEL EVERYWHERE. WIDELY REPORTED BY FELLOW JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. CHRYSLER DENIES PROBLEM WHILE REPLACING SOME TANKS WITH NEW TANK THAT CONTINUES TO USE FAULTY DESIGN. CURRENTLY THERE IS NO AFTERMARKET HELP OR SUPPORT FOR THIS ISSUE AND CERTAINLY NONE FROM CHRYSLER OR JEEP. *LN

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND I WAS IN THE PASSENGER. IT WAS 10PM AND WE WERE DRIVING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 45MPH WHEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP AND THEN THE SHUT DOWN( EVERYTHING SHUT OFF ( LIGHTS,POWER STEERING,ETC) AFTER ABOUT 2 SECONDS THE JEEP CAME TO LIFE ( WE DID NOTHING TO RESTART IT).WE STARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN AND AFTER ABOUT 5 SECONDS IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. MY HUSBAND PULLED THE STEERING WHEEL AS HARD AS HE COULD TO PULL US OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A PARKING LOT. WE ROLLED TO A STOP MY HUSBAND GOT OUT AND OPENED THE HOOD AND JUST THEN THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND HE CLOSED THE HOOD GOT IN AND TURNED THE KEY AND THE ENGINE STARTED AND WE DROVE HOME. I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH 4 CHILDREN. *LN

GAS WILL SPILL FROM THE FUEL INLET WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, REGARDLESS OF SPEED OF ADDITIONAL GAS OR CURRENT AMOUNT WITHIN GAS TANK. ENOUGH GAS IS SPILLED TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE SHOULD IT REACH AN IGNITION SOURCE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 JEEP WRANGLER X. WHEN I GO TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK, IF I LET IT FILL TO COMPLETE I GET A HUGE BACK SPRAY OF GASOLINE IN MY FACE, ON MY CAR, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. I HAVE TRIED TO FILL IT UP SLOW, ADJUST THE NECK OF THE FILLER, TAKEN MY JEEP TO A MECHANIC, ALL TO NO AVAIL. IT OCCURS EVERYTIME I GO TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK IF I LET IF FILL COMPLETELY UP. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS THE GAS TANK ITSELF. GASOLINE SPRAYING FROM MY FILLER IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER JEEP CORP. PLEASE CONSIDER THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE NOW SINCE DATE OF INITIAL OCCURRENCE SPEWS FUEL BACK OUT OF FILLER NECK WHEN FUELING. SPILT FUEL LAUNCHES OUT FROM TRAPPED PRESSURE IN TANK AND COVERS THE GROUND AND SIDE OF VEHICLE. IT ALSO SPLASHES ON OPERATOR BUT I USUALLY STAY BACK IF I CAN HELP IT. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS BUT FIND THE STATION IS NOT A FACTOR IN THIS ISSUE. IT ALSO DOESN'T MATTER IF I STOP THE PUMP MANUALLY OR ALLOW THE MECHANICAL FEATURE OF THE PUMP STOP THE FUELING PROCESS. THE JEEP DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHEN NEW.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING MY GAS TANK UP, GAS WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE, ONTO THE SIDE OF MY JEEP, ONTO THE BUMPER AND ONTO THE GROUND WHEN IT IS FULL OR CLOSE TO BEING FULL. THE GAS NOZZLE WILL SHUT OFF, BUT A LOT OF GAS POURS OUT. EVEN WHEN I MANUALLY HOLD THE NOZZLE TO SLOW THE FLOW DOWN, IT STILL SPILLS OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 DIFFERENT PUMPS AT THE SAME STATION. THE STATION IS A NEWER STATION, AROUND 5 YEARS OLD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON, GAS WILL OVERFLOW WHEN THE PUMPS SHUTS OFF. THE FIRST FEW TIMES, THE OVERFLOW WAS A NOMINAL SPILL. AFTER THE 4TH OR 5TH TIME THIS OCCURRED, THE OVERFLOW AMOUNT IS NOW A LARGE GUSH OF 1/2 TO 1 GALLON SPILLING BROADLY ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND IN A FAIRLY WIDE RANGE AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER CLAIMS THE PROBLEM IS NOT IN THEIR DESIGN, YET A FUEL TANK IS NOT AVAILABLE -- IS ON BACK ORDER FROM SUPPLIER. BASED ON A SIMPLE REVIEW OF COMPLAINTS, IT APPEARS THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM UNIQUE ONLY TO MY VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT BEING SPLASHED WITH GASOLINE, OR HAVING GASOLINE SPLASH OUT AND IGNITE AT A GAS STATION. *TR

2009 JEEP WRANGLER. CONSUMER WRITES ON BEHALF OF HIS WIFE WHO WAS INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE MADE A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF HER. RIGHT AFTER THE IMPACT, THE JEEP REMAINED IN DRIVE AND CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ALSO IGNITED, RESULTING IN A FIRE *TGW AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A HALT, AND A FIRE RETARDANT WAS APPLIED TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAME, AS THE JEEP WAS BEING SET UP FOR TOWING, THE FIRE RE-IGNITED AND CAUSED ADDITIONAL DAMAGE. *JB
