POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION ON MU 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS OVERHEATING ISSUES. THE VENT TUBE FOR WHEN THIS HAPPENS WAS PLACED BY THE FACTORY OVER THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CREATING A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD FOR WHEN THE OVERHEATING DOES HAPPEN. I HAD MY TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT ON MY WAY TO TIZER LAKES, MT AND IT IS IN A LARGE NATIONAL FOREST WITH MANY DEAD TREES BECAUSE OF THE PINE BEATLE. IF I HADN'T CAUGHT THE OVERHEATING EARLY SINCE THERE IS NO WARNING WHATSOEVER, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR FOREST FIRE IN A NATIONAL FOREST WITH MANY PEOPLE RECREATING OVER A LABOR DAY WEEKEND. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2008 JEEP JK RUBICON SPEWS GAS AND EJECTS THE GAS PUMP WHEN IT REACHES CAPACITY. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYTIME, BUT EVERY THIRD TIME. I NOW HAVE TO "GAUGE" HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK AND STOP IT BEFORE IT FILLS UP. WHEN IT OVERFLOWS, NEARLY A PINT TO TWO PINTS SPEW OUT ALL OVER MY JEEP, GAS STATION FLOOR AND SEVERAL TIMES OVER MYSELF. THIS IS A SERIOUS HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. IMAGINE SOMEONE LIGHTING A CIGARETTE AFTER A FUEL UP FORGETTING HE JUST GOT GASOLINE ON HIM. *TR

MY 2004 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED KEEPS OVERFLOWING WITH FUEL AT THE PUMP. WHETHER THE JEEP IS FILLED FROM EMPTY OR PARTIALLY FULL IT DOES NOT MATTER. FUEL KEEPS SPITTING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ONCE THE JEEP IS FULL. I AM TIRED OF GETTING FUEL ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP, ON THE GROUND, AND ON MYSELF. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY '06 JEEP WRANGLER OVERFLOWS WITH GAS EVERY TIME I FILL UP NOW. IT BEGAN DOING THIS ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AGO, AND NOW DOES IT EVERY TIME I FILL UP REGARDLESS OF HOW SLOW I TRY TO PUMP THE GAS. GAS SPITS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE JEEP AND THE GROUND. SEVERAL DAYS AGO MY WIFE, WHO WAS UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM, DROVE MY JEEP AND AS A KIND GESTURE THOUGHT SHE WOULD FILL IT UP FOR ME. AS A RESULT, SHE ENDED UP GETTING GAS SPLASHED ON TO HER CLOTHES, THE JEEP, AND THE SURROUNDING GROUND. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. I HAVE COME TO LEARN THAT MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. JEEP HAS IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS BEING A STUCK CHECK BALL THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. TO REMEDY THE SITUATION, THEY RECOMMEND THAT YOU BUY A NEW GAST TANK. HOWEVER, NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE NEW GAS TANKS, SO IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE YOU WOULD START TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, MOST OF US ARE RECENTLY OUT OF WARRANTY AND JEEP IS REFUSING ANY OTHER HELP. BESIDES THE OBVIOUS PERSONAL HAZARDS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM, YOU ALSO FACE AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD EVERY TIME YOU NEED TO FUEL UP YOUR VEHICLE. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT YOU CAN HELP ME AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATHS OCCUR FROM THIS DEFECT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2005 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED - WHEN FUELING MY VEHICLE AT A GAS STATION AND REACHING THE "FULL" LEVEL GAS SPILLS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND ANYTHING CLOSE BY BECAUSE OF AN INEFFICIENT DESIGN IN THE TWO PRESSURE TUBES ON THE FUEL TANK. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP WRANGLER TJ/LJ MODELS AMONGST THE JEEPING COMMUNITIES BUT NO ACTION HAS EVER BEEN TAKEN TO ADDRESS THIS BY ANY AGENCY OR COMPANY. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF JEEP WRANGLERS OWNERS REPORTING THIS PROBLEM BUT NO ACTION HAS EVER BEEN TAKEN BECAUSE AS OF YET NO RESULTING LOSS OF LIFE OR SIGNIFICANT HARM HAS OCCURRED. I HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE AT ALMOST EVERY OCCASION WHERE I HAD TO STOP AND FUEL MY VEHICLE. IT HAS OCCURRED AT BOTH OLDER GAS STATIONS WITHOUT SPILL RESISTANT NOZZLES AND GAS STATIONS WITH THE NEWER SPILL RESISTANT PRESSURE NOZZLES. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE JEEP GAS TANK HAVING ONE OF THE TWO PRESSURE TUBES INVOLVING AN INNER TUBE THAT EXTENDS SEVERAL INCHES INTO THE TANK TO ATTEMPT TO EQUALIZE PRESSURE WHICH ACTUALLY CREATES AN AIR IMBALANCE THAT ALLOWS FOR FUEL TO SURGE BACK UP THE SPOUT DURING REFUELING WHEN THE FUEL FLOW INTO THE TANK IS STOPPED. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DOOR SAHARA CONSTANTLY OVERFLOWS GAS WHEN FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION. THIS STARTED HAPPENING A FEW MONTHS AGO AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK NOW. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT SPILLS AT LEAST A COUPLE CUPS OF GAS ON THE GROUND EVERY TIME. *TR

WHILE FILLING GAS TANK FUEL SPILLS BACK ONTO VEHICLE AND GROUND. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE DEPENDENT ON SPECIFIC NOZZLE TYPES OR RATE OF FILLING. SOMETIMES THE NOZZLE WILL SHUT OFF EARLY AND THEN WHEN FILLING IS RESUMED IT WILL SPILL FUEL BACK. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE BUT STILL SPILLS FUEL. *TR
