FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER THAT IS SHOOTING GASOLINE OUT OF IT AFTER IT IS FILLED UP WITH GAS. BASICALLY, AFTER THE FUELING IS COMPLETE AND THE PUMP CLICKS OFF, GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR, THE GROUND, AND THE PUMP. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THIS DEFECT CAUSES A FIRE AT A STATION OR GETS SOMEBODY KILLED. JEEP IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW JEEP OWNERS WHO ARE REPORTING THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON W/~44,000 MILES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED DURING A TRIP AND UPON RETURN A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL READ THE ERROR CODES = P0016 AND OTHERS. THE CODE P0016 INDICATED A CAM-CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH IS PART OF THE CAMSHAFT SYNCHORNIZER (PART #53010624AC). INQUIRY INTO PURCHASING THIS PART, WE WERE TOLD THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND HAS BEEN FOR MORE THAN 9 MONTHS. FURTHER INQUIRY INTO NUMEROUS OTHER DEALERS AND PARTS COMPANY'S SUPPORT THE NATIONAL BACK ORDER PROBLEM. AND AFTER DEEPER RESEARCH ONLINE INTO THIS ISSUE INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING THREAD AT HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F9/CHRYSLER-PAYING-INSTALL-NEW-CAM-2005-2006-OWNERS-SHOULD-READ-963235/?REFERRERID=211189 IT SHOWS A MUCH MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM EXISTS THAN JUST A SENSOR CAUSING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THERE WAS A RECALL (EO5) FOR THE 2005 MODEL YEAR BUT YET THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS IN THE 2006 MODEL AS EVIDENCED BY THE THREAD (THERE ARE OTHER THREADS AND RESEARCH) AS WELL AS THE NATIONAL BACK ORDER FOR THE PARTS SUPPORTING THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THE TEETH ON THE ASSOCIATED GEARS FOR THE SYNCHRONIZER AND THE CAMSHAFT PARTS PREMATURELY WEAR OUT CAUSING PLAY BETWEEN THESE TWO GEARS THUS ACTIVATING THE SENSOR WHICH THEN CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED. THIS CEL ACTIVITY LIMITS THE MAXIMUM RPMS AT ~3,000 THUS CAUSING LIMITED DRIVABILITY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF WHEN EXCEEDING THIS RPM LIMIT DUE TO CHANGING GEARS TO EITHER ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE, THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND HESITATES SIGNIFICANTLY THUS REDUCING DRIVABILITY POTENTIALLY ENDANGERING THE OCCUPANTS DURING NORMAL CITY AND INTERSTATE DRIVING CONDITIONS. FURTHER USE OF THE VEHICLE CAUSES FURTHER FAILURE OF THESE GEARS RESULTING IN A SHUT DOWN OF THE VEHICLE AND COMPLETE INOPERABLE. WHEN THE GEARS STOP TURNING, THIS ACTION STOPS TURNING THE OIL PUMP RESULTING IN NO OIL FLOW. NO OIL FLOW COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SEIZE SHOULD THESE GEARS FAIL WHILE DRIVING ON OUR INTERSTATE SYSTEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2008 JEEP WRANGLER X UNLIMITED AT APPROX 30,000-32,000 MILES I HAVE STARTED TO HAVE AN ISSUE WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE TANK GETS FULL AND THE PUMP CLICKS OFF ABOUT A 1/2 GALLON OF GAS SPRAYS OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO WHOEVER IS WITHIN A COUPLE OF FEET. THIS PROBLEM STARTED SUDDENLY AND HAS NOW CONTINUED FOR THE LAST MONTH EVERY TIME I FILL UP REGARDLESS OF WHERE I CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MY FUEL. I'VE PURCHASE GAS IN TWO DIFFERENT STATES AND THE PROBLEM EXISTS NO MATTER WHERE I AM AT THE TIME OF THE FILL UP. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS TOWING MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER WHEN A PASSING MOTORIST SIGNALED ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I STOPPED AND CHECKED THE JEEP WHICH WAS COVERED WITH AN OILY MATERIAL. I HAD A TOW TRUCK TOW THE JEEP TO SAN MARCOS CHRYSLER/JEEP. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS NECESSARY TO REBUILD THE FRONT AND REAR DIFFERENTIALS AND REPLACE THE TRANSFER CASE AND BOTH FRONT AXLES. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS CAUSED BY HAVING A ONE SIZE LARGER TIRE ON THE FRONT TIRES THAN THE BACK TIRES. THIS WOULD ONLY CAUSE THE PROBLEM IF THE CAR WAS DRIVEN IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHICH IT NEVER WAS. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK ON MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON IT OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE FILL LOCATION. SOMETIMES THE SPLASHING IS VERY POWERFUL OTHER TIMES IT IS JUST A MEDIUM SPLASH. THE ONLY WAY TO NOT HAVE THIS HAPPEN IS TO ANTICIPATE WHEN THE TANK SHOULD BE FULL AND STOP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2005 JEEP WRANGLER EJECTS GASOLINE AT EVERY FILL-UP. AFTER THE PUMP CLICKS THE VEHICLE FILLER NECK SHOOTS OUT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF FUEL (APROX 1CUP +). ON A WINDY DAY ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THE FUEL CAME OUT WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO GO ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, ME, AND ONTO MY FACE. THE PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT AND CAUSES A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF FUEL TO SPILL OUT AT EVERY FILL-UP. *TR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I HAD PURCHASED A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER ABOUT YEAR AGO FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN PRESCOTT, ARIZONA. ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS AFTER BUYING IT MY SON HAD COME HOME SAYING THE WHOLE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING WHILE HE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WE TOOK THE JEEP OUT ON A RIDE AND COULD NOT MAKE THE VEHICLE SHAKE AGAIN. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED TO ME, SO WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (TIM'S AUTO IN PRESCOTT.) THEY HAD OUR VEHICLE FOR A FEW WEEKS, AND WHEN WE WENT TO PICK IT UP WE WERE TOLD THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS. THEY HAD, 'TAKEN IT APART, PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AND DRIVEN IT AROUND,' WITH NO ISSUES. THEY ACTED LIKE I WAS MAKING UP THE WHOLE PROBLEM. SINCE THEN WE HAVE ONLY HAD A FEW OUTBURSTS, BUT WE JUST LIVED WITH IT. THEN, TODAY (1-4-11) AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IT BEGAN TO WOBBLE A LITTLE. I WAS CLOSE TO HOME, SO I KEPT GOING. THE JEEP STARTED TO VEER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, I SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS AND IT STARTED TO TURN THE OTHER WAY. I WAS ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY, GOING 65 MPH WITH CARS ON EITHER SIDE. I WAS ALMOST HIT TWICE (BOTH WOULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY ME) BY THE TIME I GOT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY HUSBAND WAS OUT OF TOWN AND DAUGHTER WAS WORKING TWO TOWNS OVER, I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE HOME. I GOT BACK INTO THE CAR, STARTED DRIVING, AND GOT ABOUT 5 MILES FARTHER BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AGAIN. I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CALLED AND COULD NOT GET A HOLD OF ANY ONE SO I GOT IN AND DROVE HOME AT ABOUT 15 MPH, SHAKING ALL THE WAY. CURRENTLY, MY JEEP IS IN THE DRIVEWAY, I AM UP AGAINST A WALL WITH THIS VEHICLE! REPAIRS ARE NOT 100 PERCENT RELIABLE (BASED ON PAST EXPERIENCE) AND ONLINE REVIEWS SEEM TO SAY THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE SOMEONE WITH YOUR COMPANY CAN HELP ME WITH THIS, BECAUSE AS OF NOW I HAVE A $35,000 DEATHTRAP SITTING OUTSIDE OF MY HOME.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WE HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER, 2 DOOR. 4X4 .WHENEVER WE FILL THE GAS TANK WITH THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ATT HE PUMP ENGAGED, GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE CAR BEFORE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTTING OFF. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND VARIOUS GAS STATIONS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. NOW WE HAVE TO MANUALLY LISTEN TO THE GAS FLOWING IN AND STOP IT FROM FILLING UP ENTIRELY. THIS IS A PROBLEM AT FULL SERVICE STATIONS, LIKE GETTY, OR WHEN WE ARE IN NEW JERSEY (FULL SERVICE IS MANDATORY IN NJ).THIS IS NOT ONLY A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE BUT THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE CHRYSLER/JEEP RECOGNIZES THIS AS A DEFECT. *TR

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SPILLS FUEL EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP. WITHOUT WARNING JUST AFTER THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF GAS SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLED IS ABOUT 4 OZ. IF YOU ARE CLOSE IT SPILLS ON TOP THE PERSON PUMPING. A FIRE DANGER NO DOUBT. *TR

THE LAST THREE TIMES I HAVE FILLED MY TANK WITH GAS IT HAS SPIT A QUART OR SO OF GASOLINE BACK OUT ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, GROUND AND ME. THIS OCCURRED AT THREE DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AT THREE DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY AND AFTER DIFFERENT DRIVING PATTERNS. ABOUT 1 SECOND AFTER THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, GAS SPITS OUT FROM THE FUEL TANK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE AND THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT ONLY AN INCONVENIENCE, IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD! *TR

JEEP IS A 2007 WRANGLER. WHEN FILLING UP, GASOLINE OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK JUST AS THE TANK GETS FULL. STARTED AT ABOUT 27K MILES. JEEP NOW HAS 28,500 MILES. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE FUEL TANK STARTS OUT EMPTY OR IF IT IS HALF FULL. IT SPILLS OUT EVERY TIME NOW. THE GAS SPILLS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND RUNS ONTO THE GROUND. THIS CAN'T BE GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. IN ADDITION I GET GASOLINE ON MY HANDS WHICH IS NOT HEALTHY. *TR

FILLED UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED AND THE GAS OVERFLOWED AND SPRAYED IN MY FACE AND EYES. I HAD TO RUSH INTO THE BATHROOM AND FLUSH MY EYES AND FACE WITH WATER. I DOES THIS EVERYTIME YOU FILL UP, THIS TIME IT JUST GOT ME IN THE FACE. NEEDS TO RECALLED AND FIXED. MY DEALER WON'T FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY SINCE ITS BEEN OVER 3 YEARS. ITS GONNA KILL SOMEONE, WHAT IF IT CAUGHT FIRE? NOT TO MENTION THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF PUTTING THAT MUCH GAS ON THE GROUND. *TR
