FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THIS HAS HAPPEN TO MY VEHICLE JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME I GO FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION. I ASK TO FILL IT CASH AND EVERY TIME THE GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF FILLER TUBE. GAS RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE GOING ALL OVER THE GROUND. TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM LOOK INTO THE SITUATION. AFTER GETTING IT BACK THEY TOLD ME THAT THE NPF (NO PROBLEM FOUND). I HAVE DONE THE RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND TSB'S FROM EARLIER MODEL YEARS OF HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE OF OVERFLOWING THE TANK IS A SERIOUS CONDITION AND SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO THE FACT THAT 1. IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE AN EXPLOSION. GAS OVERFLOWING ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE OMITS VAPORS AND THE VAPORS ARE WHAT EXPLODE. 2. WITH THE GAS GOING ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE IT PREMATURELY TAKES AWAY THE TOP CLEAR COAT AND PAINT LAYERS. WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY COULD GO TO BARE METAL CREATING A RUST ISSUE. 3 IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE, ACCORDING TO NJDEP IF ONE DROP OF GAS GETS ON THE GROUND IT LEGALLY HAS TO BE REPORTED TO THEM. KNOWING THAT MOST STATIONS ARE OPERATED UNDER EXTREME SPEEDS, I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT IT IS BEING REPORTED PROPERLY. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE SERVICE STATIONS IN MY AREA THE EMPLOYEES ARE CLUELESS TO THE RULES AN REGULATIONS. I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE FOR A STATION AND THEY SAID THEY WERE SORRY AND OFFERED ME A $10.00 GIFT CARD. IN HINDSIGHT IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT. IT IS THE FAULTY FUEL TANK AND PRESSURE SYSTEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT SERIOUSLY, JUST BECAUSE THERE HASN'T BEEN A FIRE OR ANY SERIOUS INJURIES TO DATE DOESN'T MEAN IT IS NOT A REAL ISSUE. I HOPE THIS GETS LOOKED INTO AND PROPERLY MITIGATED. THANK YOU *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SUNROOF DRAINS INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND ON TO THE FUSE PANEL AND FREEZES. I HAVE TO REPLACE AT $822.00. A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED IN 2006 ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE THE DRAIN ISSUE WAS REPAIRED BY DEALER DURING WARRANTY IN 2007. A FROZEN FUSE PANEL CAN CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE INSIDE THE CAR. *TR

ENGINE
3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE SAW MILL PARKWAY THIS MORNING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL. THE BRAKES COULD NOT CONTROL IT. THE FIRST TIME I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE REVERTED TO IDLE SPEED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE NORMALLY. A FEW MILES LATER IT DID IT AGAIN AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS TIME WHEN I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL THE ENGINE RACED AT FULL SPEED AS IF IT WAS BEING FLOORED. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE KEY. WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE IT RAN FINE FOR A FEW MILES UNTIL I WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY. AGAIN WHEN I SLOWED TO A STOP THE ENGINE RACED AT FULL REVS. GOING INTO NEUTRAL DID NOT HELP. TURNING OFF THE KEY FIXED IT. AT THE END OF THE DAY AFTER WORK THE VEHICLE BEHAVED NORMALLY. THIS JEEP HAS DONE THIS 3 TIMES IN THE PAST, IN JANUARY 2009, FEB 2012 AND OCTOBER 2014. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER BEING PARKED FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES. WE GUESSED IT WAS A BATTERY, STARTER OR ALTERNATOR. HAD TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE TIPM WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW, I SEE THAT I WAS A LUCKY ONE AS THE TIPM HAS ALL MANNER OF ISSUES WHEN IT STARTS TO GO BAD. THE DEALER IS TELLING ME I HAVE TO WAIT 3 WEEKS FOR A BACKORDERED PART DUE TO A NATIONAL RECALL OF OTHER MODEL YEARS. THIS IS GOING TO COST AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT IN BOTH REPAIR AND RENTAL CAR COSTS. *TR
