FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT THE FILLER NECK BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY AND AT ALL GAS STATIONS TRIED. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND OCCURS ON MANY JEEP WRANGLER VEHICLES. *TT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GUSHES OUT OF TANK DURING EVERY FILL UP. MAYBE 3-9 FL. OUNCES POUR OUT, MAYBE MORE. THIS HAPPENS IF THE PUMP IS SET ON AUTO FILL, THE PUMP CLICKS OFF, BUT A SPLIT-SECOND LATER FUELS COMES OUT FOAMING. IF THE PUMP IS MANUALLY OPERATED AND THE LEVER IS EASED SO THAT IT PUMPS ABOUT HALF SPEED OR LESS, IT DOES NOT GUSH OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGH THE CAR NEW, I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I HAS NEVER NOT DONE IT ON AUTO FILL AND IT TAKES SKILL TO AVOID IT. *TT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS, IT SPILLS OUT. CHRYSLER/JEEP KNOWS OF THE "FUEL SPILL BACK DURING REFUELING" DANGER. GAS SPLASHES OUT OF TANK DURING REFUELING (APPARENT CHECK VALVE MANUFACTURER DEFECT). ALSO, POSSIBLE GAS SPILL DURING ROLL OVER. CHRYSLER ISSUED TRAFFIC SAFETY BULLETIN, DATED FEBRUARY 11, 2011, (TSB) # 14-001-11 FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY (LIFETIME) FOR JEEP WRANGLERS WITH 3.8L ENGINE BUILT BETWEEN MARCH 1, 2007 & MARCH 31, 2008. GAS TANKS BEING REPLACED. MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (SAME ENGINE, EXACT SAME DEFECTIVE CHECK VALVE) ALSO, SPLASHES GAS BACK AT YOU DURING REFUELING, BUT IS NOT INCLUDED IN BULLETIN, DUE TO MY VEHICLE 'BUILT ON' DATE BEING TOO LATE. NEITHER GAS TANK NOR CHECK VALVE HAD BEEN REDESIGNED TO MAKE SAFE, AS OF THE CUT OFF DATE IN BULLETIN. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATES THAT THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM ALL THE TIME (THEY CALL IT 'BURPING'). *TR

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, BEGINNING TO GO DOWN A MOUNTAIN INTERSTATE IN COLORADO. I WAS TRAVELING AT 57 MPH WHEN I VERY LIGHTLY PRESSED THE BRAKE. THE FRONT AND OF THE CAR AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR. THE CAR WAS BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH, LEFT AND RIGHT, AND I FEEL VERY LUCKY TO NOT HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE SERIOUS FEARS ABOUT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY NOW BECAUSE IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, I FEEL THE LIKELIHOOD OF AN ACCIDENT IS VERY HIGH. THIS SYMPTOM IS REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" IN JEEP WRANGLERS, AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE READ COUNTLESS REPORTS OF IT AND CHRYSLER JEEP NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. IT IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT NUMEROUS OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. PERSISTENTLY WITH THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE JEEP WRANGLER 2008 (BUILD DATE 6/08), GAS COMES SHOOTING OUT THE FILLER TUBE RIGHT AFTER THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF. I'M GUESSING APPROX. 12 OZ. OF GAS COMES OUT. CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR WRANGLERS WITH A BUILD DATE OF MARCH 1, 2007 TO MARCH 31, 2008. MY BUILD DATE IS JUNE, 2008 AND HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I READ THAT THIS WAS INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA AND THEY FOUND THIS NOT TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE YET TALKING ON A CELL PHONE WHILE PUMPING GAS IS? THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH GAS SHOOTING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK PRIOR TO THE FUEL PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTTING OFF. THIS WAS REPEATED AT EVERY FILL UP AT NUMEROUS GAS STATIONS. FOR THE PAST 8 MONTHS I CAN NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK WITHOUT THE FUEL NOZZLE REPEATEDLY SHUTTING OFF. I CAN ONLY ADD FUEL AT AN EXTREMELY SLOW PACE OR NOT AT ALL. IT HAS BECOME SO BAD THAT I NOW CARRY A GAS CAN, IT'S FASTER TO FILL THE CAN THEN POUR IT IN THE TANK! TT
