FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME SINCE PURCHASING MY JEEP ON NOV 26TH 2013 WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK AS IT CLICKS OFF FUEL SPITS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND ON TO THE BODY AND ON THE GROUND. EVEN WHEN MANUALLY FILLING IT SPITS FUEL OUT BEFORE YOU CAN RELEASE THE NOZZLE. IF YOU ARE STANDING IN THE WRONG POSITION IT LANDS ON YOUR CLOTHES AND SHOES. THIS CREATES A SAFETY RISK OF FIRE AS WELL AS THE ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
I TRACED A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE TO THE OIL PUMP DRIVE ASSEMBLY. AS THE ENGINE WARMED UP THE NOISE SUBSIDED BUT CONTINUES TO OCCUR.ON LINE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 05-06 WRANGLERS DUE TO A DESIGN CHANGE FROM 04 TO 05 MODEL YEARS WHERE A BUSHING AT THE TOP OF THE CAM POSITION SENSOR/OIL PUMP DRIVE THAT SEIZES DUE TO LACK OF LUBRICATION AND CAUSES THE DRIVE GEAR ON THE OIL PUMP SHAFT TO SELF DESTRUCT TAKING WITH IT THE CAMSHAFT DRIVE GEAR WHICH CAUSES LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE.DODGE ISSUED THE E05 MAR 2005 CAMPAIGN-ENGINE OIL PUMP DRIVE GEAR/CAM REPLACEMENT. LETTERS WERE SENT TO DEALERS TO REPLACE THE DRIVE GEARS AND CAMS DAMAGED BY THIS PROBLEM. THE NOTIFICATION APPLIES TO THE 4.0 L ENGINE BUILT FROM OCT 20, 2004 TO FEB 1, 2005. MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT MY JEEP HAS AN OCT 9, 2004 BUILD DATE AND IS THEREFORE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE PICTURES I SHOWED HIM OF THE DAMAGE TO THE GEARS IN MY ENGINE. THE DEALER SUGGESTED I TRY CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY REFERRED ME TO NHTSA TO SEEK A RESOLUTION. SO AFTER INVESTING OVER $12,000 DOLLARS A MONTH AGO TO PURCHASE WHAT I EXPECTED WOULD BE A RELIABLE WINTER VEHICLE I INSTEAD HAVE A VEHICLE THAT SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT CAN'T BE TRUSTED ON THE ROAD AND I CAN'T RISK USING IT AND FACING A $4,000.00 ENGINE REBUILD IF IT SEIZES. I NEED SOME HELP. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE WILL SPILL GAS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK EVERY TIME AFTER THE PUMP HANDLE SHUTS OFF. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I USE THE LOWEST SETTING ON THE GAS PUMP OR IF I MANUALLY USE AS LITTLE PRESSURE AS POSSIBLE. IT OVERFILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME AND GAS POURS OUT OF THE FILL SPOUT RUNNING DOWN THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE ON MY HAND ON MY CLOTHES AND ON THE GROUND. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE GAS TANK OF MY 2005 JEEP RUBICON OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I REFUEL, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF THE GAS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM CITED BY MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS (AS CHRYSLER MUST BE AWARE). THIS MALFUNCTION IS DANGEROUS, WASTEFUL, AND ENVIRONMENTALLY DAMAGING. PLEASE LIVE UP TO THE REPUTATION THAT JEEP OWNERS APPRECIATE AND RESPECT REGARDING OUR JEEPS. QUALITY AND RELIABILITY ARE IMPORTANT TO US--OR WE WOULD NOT BUY JEEP VEHICLES. DEVOTED JEEP OWNERS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BEG FOR ASSISTANCE TO RECTIFY A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HAD BEEN NOTICING A PLASTIC BURNING SMELL FOR A COUPLE MONTHS, NEVER FOUND A CAUSE OR ANYTHING NOT WORKING PROPERLY. DRIVING HOME EARLY ONE MORNING I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING, THE BRIGHTS WORKED AND SO DID THE FOG LIGHTS, BUT NO LOW BEAMS. AFTER LOOKING ON JEEP FORUMS AND NOTICING A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I DECIDED TO TAKE THE COVER OFF MY COLUMN AND TAKE A LOOK. THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTED TO MY MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH WAS BURNT, PROOF OF AT LEAST ONE SMALL ELECTRICAL FIRE, IF NOT MULTIPLE SMALL FIRES. I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, MULTIPLE POSTERS ON JEEP FORUMS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR EVENTS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FILLER HOSE ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP FUEL. THE GAS SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND AT THE GAS STATION. I COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLLER HQ AND THEY SAID, ITS BEEN NOTED AND MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALLS THAT THEY HAVE ON THE LATER MODEL JEEP WRANGLERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EACH AND EVERY TIME I FILL THE VEHICLE UP WITH GASOLINE, THE FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE GAS TANK ALL OVER THE VEHICLE. IT HAS RUINED MY FENDER FLARE NOT TO MENTION THE GASOLINE ON THE GROUND AS A RESULT OF THE FAULTY GAS TANK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP THE VEHICLE (REGARDLESS OF THE GAS STATION). THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO HANDLE IT IS IN A MANUAL PROCESS (NOT USING THE PUMP HANDLE SWITCH TO KEEP PUMP ON), HOWEVER THAT STILL DOES NOT STOP THE FUEL FROM FILLING OUT THE TANK. THIS HAS RUINED SOME OF MY CLOTHES AND AS MENTIONED, IS CREATING PLENTY OF POLLUTION EVERY SPILL. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH WRANGLERS AS IT IS COMMONLY REPORTED IN ONLINE FORUMS. I AM ASKING FOR CHRYSLER'S ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED AND THE FUEL TANK REPLACED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EACH TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK WITH FUEL, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE TANK. AS I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT ONLY AFTER LEARNING FROM MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS THEY ALSO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS FOR THIS AMOUNT OF FUEL TO BE SPILLED (AND SPEWED) FROM THE GAS TANK, THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT IT IS TO MONITOR THE GALLONS GOING IN AND STOP IT MANUALLY WHICH, UNFORTUNATELY, IS NOT ALWAYS A SUCCESSFUL APPROACH. THANKS! *TR
