FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE FILLING FUEL TANK, AT ALMOST FULL OR FULL TANK, PUMP WILL SHUT OFF OR AUTO STOP, AND THEN FUEL WILL START TO SHOOT BACK OUT OF GAS FILLER AS ALMOST UNDER PRESSURE. SOMETIMES IT'S A FEW DROPS, BUT MORE OFTEN IT IS A LOT. IF YOUR NEARBY YOU WILL GET COVERED IN GAS, HAPPENS 4 OUT OF 5 TIMES WHILE FILLING UP NOW. I FEEL THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS MY JEEP AND ANYONE NEAR IT DURING FILL UP CAN END UP COVERED IN GAS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK ON MY '08 JEEP WRANGLER, THE TANK OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS GAS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I LOCK THE TAB ON THE FUEL NOZZLE TO AUTO FILL THE TANK, AND EVERYTHING WORKS AS NORMAL UNTIL THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS ITSELF OFF, IT IS QUICKLY FOLLOWED BY GAS GUSHING BACK OUT OF THE FILLER PORT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT SPRAYED GAS ALL OVER MY PANTS, SHOES, GLOVES, ALL OVER THE BACK CORNER OF MY JEEP, AND LEFT A 3FT DIAMETER PUDDLE OF FUEL ON THE GROUND. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP SINCE NEW (BOUGHT IN FEB '09) AND IT JUST TURNED 40K MILES. THE FIRST INSTANCE HAPPENED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, AND IT HAS HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES SINCE THEN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. FOR THE LAST 6 OR MORE MONTHS NOW, THE JEEP IS HAVING A FUEL FILLING ISSUE. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK OF THE JEEP, YOU CAN NEVER DO IT WITHOUT THE GASOLINE GUSHING OUT AT THE END. REGARDLESS IF YOU PUMP IT MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY, IT DOES IT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN ADDITION TO CAUSE HAZMAT SPILL (GASOLINE). AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THAT SPECIFIC GAS PUMP AND/OR GAS STATION. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AS IT HAPPENS ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE. I DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE BY DOING SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT IT IS WELL KNOWN BY ALL PARTIES AND STILL, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RESOLVE IT. THE QUALITY PARTY IS THE ROLL OVER CHECK VALVE WHICH ADDS A ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE TO IT. THIS VALVE IS BUILT IN INTO THE TANK AND THUS, THE WHOLE TANK MUST BE REPLACE AND THE ISSUE WILL STILL BE BACK IN MOST CASES. JEEP NEEDS TO RE-DESIGN THE VALVE TO FIX THE PROBLEM RATHER THAN JUST POSTPONE IT BY CHANGING THE GAS TANK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER PORT DURING THE REFUELING PROCESS. THIS CONDITION GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO THE FULL OR NEARLY FULL LEVEL AND THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OR CLICKS OFF. SPILLS FUEL ON ME AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND DOWN TO THE BUMPER AND EXHAUST. STARTED AROUND 40,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, AND THE FRONT END BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I STARTED PULLING OVER AND WHEN I GOT DOWN TO 35 MPH, THE SHAKING STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITHOUT INCIDENCE, AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY. THIS WAS A STOCK JEEP BOUGHT NEW WITHOUT ANY AFTER-MARKET ALTERATIONS WITH ONLY 52K MILES. I TOOK IT INTO MIDAS, AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW STEERING STABILIZER. THEY REPLACED IT, AND IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC, AND THEY REPLACED TRACKBAR, BUT IT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK TO MIDAS, AND THEY PUT ANOTHER NEW STABILIZER, STILL HAD THE PROBLEM WITH EVER-INCREASING FREQUENCY. I PUT NEW TIRES ON THE CAR, AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT 20K MILES. AT 73K, THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. THIS TIME I TOOK IT THE JEEP DEALER. THEY KNEW WHAT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WAS, AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK EVERYTHING. THEY REPORTED BACK THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE COMPONENTS, AND SUGGESTED I GET THE TIRES BALANCED AGAIN. I GOT THE TIRES BALANCED AND TOOK IT BACK A WEEK LATER TO THE DEALER AS THE PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING WITH MORE FREQUENCY, AND NOW WAS OCCURRING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 45-55 MPH. I SUGGESTED A PARTICULAR PATCH OF HIGHWAY FOR A TEST DRIVE. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID, "THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG." THEY THEN WORKED WITH CHRYSLER TO IDENTIFY AND "SOLVE" THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE TIRE RODS AND JOINTS. THREE DAYS LATER I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM AGAIN, AND THEN AGAIN, AND AGAIN. I HAVE SPENT APPROXIMATELY $1400 TO "FIX" THIS PROBLEM, AND IT CONTINUES TO PERSIST. DO AN ONLINE SEARCH OF "DEATH WOBBLE" AND YOU'LL FIND ENTRY AFTER ENTRY AND EVEN VIDEOS. I'M REALLY WORRIED THAT ONE OF THESE TIMES WHEN I AND FORCED TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN AND HEAD TO THE SHOULDER, I'M GOING TO END UP REAR ENDED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, ALMOST EVERYTIME I FILL MY JEEP THE GAS OVERFLOWS RIGHT AFTER PUMP SHUTS OFF. I'VE EVEN TRIED TO STOP THE PUMP AND PULL IT OUT TO LET IT SETTLE BEFORE COMPLETELY FILLING, BUT THIS HASN'T HELPED. THERE IS USUALLY ENOUGH GAS COMING OUT TO CREATE A 3 FOOT PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT STATIONS, IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF WEATHER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE AND SETTING THE GAS PUMP TO AUTO SHUT-OFF, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACTIVATE THE AUTO SHUT-OFF RESULTING IN GASOLINE BLOWING OUT OF THE FUEL OPENING. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES SO FAR AND RESULTED IN GASOLINE SPILLING ONTO MY PANTS, SHOES, SIDE OF VEHICLE, BUMPER AND GROUND. THIS PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS TO PERSONS, DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND IS AN ENVIRNOMENTAL ISSUE.

2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS DEVELOPED A FAULTY ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE GAS TANK CAUSING FUEL SPILLS WHEN REFUELING. CHRYSLER DENIES WARRANTY CLAIMS STATING THIS IS NORMAL WEAR. HOWEVER, THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD - FUMES AND POTENTIAL FOR FIRES AND EXPLOSION AS WELL AS HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY JEEP WRANGLER GAS TANK HAS A PROBLEM. A VALVE SOMEWHERE IN THE TANK IS STICKING SO THAT WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FILLED AT THE PUMP, OFTEN TIMES, GAS WILL SPILL OUT UNTIL THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. PROBABLY A GALLON OR TWO SPILL OUT ON THE GROUND. OTHER TIMES, THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF PREMATURELY WHERE THE ATTENDANT MUST TURN THE PUMP NOZZLE UPSIDE DOWN TO GET THE GAS TO FLOW. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLERS FOR A FEW YEARS NOW, BUT JEEP HASN'T ADDRESSED IT WITH A RECALL DESPITE CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY GAS TANK OVER FLOWS AND GASOLINE GUSHES OUT EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK AT EVERY GAS STATION. THE GASOLINE PUMP AUTO SHUT OFF VALVE DOES NOT ACTIVATE UNTIL GASOLINE GUSHES OUT PAST THE GAS TANK FILLER NECK AND INTO THE PLASTIC GAS FILL AREA. FROM THERE THE GASOLINE CONTINUES TO LEAK ONTO THE PAINTED BODY OF MY JEEP. NOTABLY, TRYING TO INSERT THE GASOLINE PUMP INTO ALL CONCEIVABLE DEPTHS INTO THE GASOLINE FUEL FILLER NECK HAS NO EFFECT ON THE GASOLINE GUSHING ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM DIDN'T START UNTIL MY JEEP HIT ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER (I AM THE 1ST OWNER). THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE SOMETHING WITHIN THE FUEL FILLING SYSTEM OR POSSIBLY EVAP SYSTEM IS CORRODED, PLUGGED UP, OR OTHERWISE FOULED AS THERE IS NO EXTERIOR DAMAGE. THIS COULD CREATE MULTIPLE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS BOTH AT THE GAS STATION AND ON THE ROAD.

WHEN FUELING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER FAST, THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF WILL CLICK OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THEN THE TANK SPITS GASOLINE BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. A COUPLE TIMES I TRIED FILLING THE TANK AT THE SLOWEST AUTOMATIC RATE AND THE VALVE DIDN'T SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. THIS STARTED IN EARLY 2010, BUT IT WASN'T ON EVERY TANK FILL. NOW, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK. AS OF TODAY I HAVE UNDER 29,000 MILES ON THE JEEP. *TR

STEERING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE ON THE FIRST VISIT. THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE MECHANIC ADVISED THE CONTACT TO REPLACE THE STEERING. THE STEERING WAS REPLACED A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.
