FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILILNG THE FUEL TANK, NO MATTER WHICH GAS STATION I USE, THE TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN FULL, SPILLING GASOLINE BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTOFF CAN ACTIVATE. THIS IS STATIONARY, TURNED OFF, AND LEVEL. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE FEB 2015 AND IT IS A HIGHLY REPEATABLE PROBLEM.

SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND UPON HITTING ROUGH ROAD CONDITIONS THE FRONT ON THE JEEP BEGINS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. YOU MUST SLOW OR COME TO A STOP TO MAKE IT GO AWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES TO ME. IT IS BY FAR THE MOST TERRIFYING THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME IN 50 YEARS OF DRIVING. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME IT WAS WORN DAMPENERS AND REPLACED THEM. OF COURSE THIS DID NOT HAPPEN FOR THE FIRST 50K MILES, SO I MUST WAIT UNTIL THE CONDITIONS APPEAR AGAIN TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED.

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY WIFE CALLED ME FROM WORK SAYING HER JEEP WAS SMOKING AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE. I RUSHED TO HER JOB AND FOUND SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE JEEP. WHAT I FOUND WAS DEBRIS WAS STUCK BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE EXHAUST PIPE IN THE CENTER OF THE JEEP. PINESTRAW BEEN COLLECTING THERE AND WAS SMOLDERING. I THOUGHT THAT WAS A FLUKE BUT MUCH TO MY SURPRISE MY WIFE PULLED INTO THE GARAGE 2 DAYS AGO AND THE CAR SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING AND I REMOVED ABOUT 10 HANDFULS OF PINESTRAW THAT WAS SMOLDERING. WE DO NOT PARK THE CAR IN THE GARAGE ANYMORE FOR FEAR OF A FIRE. WHAT MAKES NO SENSE IS THE DEBRIS NOT COLLECTING BEHIND THE TIRES BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAR. IT IS MY OPINION THAT JEEP SHOULD FOLLOW UP WITH A RECALL OR AT LEAST TELL ME HOW TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH FUEL OVERFLOWING EVERY TIME I GO TO THE GAS STATION. I'VE TRIED DIFFERENT PUMPS AND DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM EVERY TIME. I BOUGHT THE CAR 1 MONTH AGO AND IYHE OVERFLOW HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE, I SEE THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS. THIS IS A COSTLY AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FUELING THIS VEHICLE THE NOZZLE WILL NOT SHUT OFF CORRECTLY RESULTING IN FUEL OVERFLOWING AND SPILLING OUT, APROX 1/2 PINT WORTH. CAUSE UNKNOWN. SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN THE FALL WINTER AND SPRING BUT NOT THE SUMMER. NOT SURE IF THE TEMPERATURE OR FUEL BLEND HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. BOUGHT VEHICLE NEW IN '09 AND ITS BEEN DOING IT REGULARLY. JEEP RECALLED '07 AND '08 FOR THIS PROBLEM. '09 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN REFUELING THE PUMP ALWAYS STOPS EVEN IF EMPTY, THIS MAKES IT VERY HARD TO KNOW IF IT'S ALREADY FULL OR IF IT'S JUST ACTING UP. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW, AND IT HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIMES I REFUEL. I HAVE READ IN FORUMS THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND SOME YEARS HAVE BEEN FIXED. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD SINCE FUEL SPILLS ARE VERY COMMON WITH THIS PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL SPITS BACK DURING REFUELING CAUSE: VALVE INTEGRATED IN FUEL TANK IS DEFECTIVE, TANK REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND A SERVICE-BULLETIN WAS ISSUED (14-001-11) WITH UNLIMITED TIME AND MILEAGE EXPIRATION. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE GAS TANK HAS A DESIGN FLAW AND SOMEHOW A DEFECTIVE TANK WAS PLACED IN MY VEHICLE, I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD APPLY TO THE SERVICE BULLETIN THE SYMPTOMS AND CORRECTIVE ACTION ARE THE SAME

SUSPENSION
DEATH WOBBLE IN SUSPENSION WHILE DRIVING. HAS HAPPENED SINCE OWNING VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO UNCONTROLLABLY SHAKE IN A VIOLENT MANNER AT A SPEEDS AT OR NEAR 60 MPH. THE WOBBLE IS PERSISTENT AND WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET. JEEP REFUSES TO OFFICIALLY ACCEPT A PROBLEM EXISTS EVEN THOUGH WRANGLER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED IN THOUSANDS OF POSTS VIEWABLE ONLINE. I HAVE HAD MY JEEP IN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN USING A GAS PUMP TO AUTO-FILL THE TANK, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND THE TANK OVERFLOWS SOME OF THE FUEL ONTO THE PAINT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I GO TO, THE STYLE OF NOZZLE, OR THE ANGLE THE NOZZLE IS USED AT. IT OVER FILLS EVERY TIME. THIS JEEP WRANGLER X WAS RECENTLY PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2017 WITH 90, 961 MILES. STARTED EARLY NOVEMBER. I RECENTLY SOLD MY 1997 JEEP WRANGLER WHICH I HAD DRIVEN OVER 178,523 MILES IN THE 18 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM NOT EVEN ONCE. INITIALLY I THOUGHT IT WAS OPERATOR ERROR UNTIL I READ THE COMPLIANTS ON THE INTERNET FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND THE NHTSA WEBSITE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY JEEP HAS BEEN HAVING AN ONGOING ISSUE WHILE FUELING. AFTER THE FUEL FILLING NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF IT WILL SPIT OUT FUEL ALL OVER ME AND MY VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE WARRANTY ON 2007-2008 JEEP WRANGLER JKS HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO BE A LIFETIME WARRANTY AND MINE DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS NOT JUST AN INCONVENIENCE. GASOLINE CAN CONTAIN HYDROCARBONS, PARAFINS, OLEFINS, CYCLOALKANES, OXYGENATORS, AND AROMATICS INCLUDING BENZENE WHICH IS A KNOWN HUMAN CARCINOGEN. THIS FUELING ISSUE IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN BUT IT IS ALSO A HEALTH CONCERN FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS.
