FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL OVERFLOWS WHENEVER PUMP IS LEFT ON "FILL." THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE. FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY CAN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM. I NOW JUST ADD A FEW DOLLARS WORTH OF GAS AT A TIME SO I KNOW IT WON'T HIT THE SHUT OFF POINT & OVERFLOW. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
SIXTH OCCURRENCE OF PROBLEM: WHEN IN FIRST GEAR, THE GEAR BANGS AND LOCKS-UP. THIS NORMALLY OCCURS WHEN JUST STARTING ACROSS AN INTERSECTION AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AS ANOTHER VEHICLE COULD REAR-END ME OR SIDE HIT ME IF I WERE MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS AN INTERSECTION. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP CANNOT DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM WHEN IN FOR SERVICE. I HAVE RESEARCHED OTHER JEEP WRANGLER VEHICLE OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM REPORTED, AND THE ONLY FIX WAS A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. OTHER ODI BY ME 1030673(2/5/2010); 10310930(2/16/2010); 10310938(2/16/2010). *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT, STEERING
I OWN A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 29,500 MILES ON IT. RECENTLY, THE FRONT-END HAS STARTED TO WOBBLE/SHAKE VIOLENTLY AT SPEEDS AROUND 40-45 MILES PER HOUR CAUSING NEAR LOSS OF CONTROL. WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON, IN FACT, IT HAS BEEN LABELED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". PROBLEM IS, NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE IDENTIFIED THE EXACT CAUSE OR FIX. SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE: INSTALL AFTER-MARKET HEAVY STEERING STABILIZER (DID THAT, NO CHANGE), ALIGNMENT, WHEEL BALANCE, STEERING BOX, CAMBER ANGLE, ETC. ANY SUGGESTIONS? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE
AFTER REMOVING THE REAR-MOUNTED SPARE TIRE ON MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON (4 DOOR, 4WD) I NOTICED THAT THE OUTER INSULATION (CONDUIT) PROTECTING THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT HAD RUBBED AGAINST THE HARD PLASTIC GROMMET WHERE THE WIRING HARNESS EXITS THE REAR (OUTSIDE) PANEL OF THE TAILGATE. THE INSULATION HAD RUBBED DOWN TO THE POINT THAT THE INNER WIRES AND THEIR INSULATION WERE SHOWING. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT SINCE, IF NOT ADDRESSED, THE RUBBING WOULD EVENTUALLY GO THROUGH THE INSULATION ON THE WIRES, CAUSING A SHORT IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE SPARE TIRE. I REPORTED MY FINDINGS TO JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ALSO TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE OEM GROMMET WITH A RUBBER PIECE, AND THEN ORDERED AND INSTALLED A NEW WIRING HARNESS. *TR

LIKE MANY OTHER 2006 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS, MY GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY TANK. THE MECHANIC AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP (SUPPOSEDLY AN EXPERT IN THE FIELD) DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, AND I STILL HAVE NOT FOUND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
PURCHASED A 06 JEEP UNLIMITED (LJ) WITH THE 4.0 ENGINE. WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE TANK BECOMES FULL AND GAS THEN SPILLS OUT THE FILL TUBE. THIS IS EVERYTIME YOU FILL UP THE JEEP. CHRYSLER SAYS THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THAT THERE IS NO FIX OR REAL CONCERN BY THEM FOR THIS PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THE WASTE OF GAS, THE ENVIRONMENT HAZARD BY SPILLING GAS, THE POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLES PAINT AND THE POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I PURCHASED THIS JEEP IN 05-09. I UNDERSTAND THAT NUMEROUS OTHER JEEP LJ'S HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THAT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A WEAK VENT SPRING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
JEEP WRANGLER SPEWS GAS AND VAPOR WHEN FILLING THE TANK USING THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF FEATURE OF THE GAS PUMP. I WAS SPRAYED WITH GASOLINE IN MY EYES AFTER A FILL UP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT CAN RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR FIRE NOT TO MENTION THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES THIS SPILLAGE CREATES. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AND CHRYSLER FORCED TO COME UP WITH A FIX. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE TANK UP WITH GAS, WHETHER COMPLETELY FULL OR NOT, GAS STARTS BLOWING BACK OUT OF THE TANK... AT LEAST ONE TO TWO CUPS OF GAS. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH GAS STATION YOU GO TO. IT STARTED HAPPENING A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND HAD GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. NOW IT OCCURS AT EVERY FILL UP. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLEANED A GAS VENT, AND THAT FIXED IT TEMPORARILY, BUT NOW IT IS WORSE THAN BEFORE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON. I HAVE HAD FUEL SPILLING OUT AT THE END OF FILLING UP MY TANK. WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE TANK. THAT WAS ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO. THE ISSUE HAS SINCE RE-APPEARED. NOW THAT MY JEEP IS OUT OF WARRANTY I FEEL IT IS RIDICULOUS TO GET ANOTHER TANK AT MY EXPENSE SINCE IT DID NOT FIX IT THE FIRST TIME. I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY JEEPS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY JEEP I GET GAS OVERFLOW. REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF GAS, GAS STATION OR PUMP. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. GAS SQUIRTS OUT AND IS A HAZARD. FROM READING OVER ON JEEPFROUM.COM IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F9/GAS-SPILLING-OVER-WHEN-FILLING-872096/. *TR
