I OWN A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. I PURCHASED THE JEEP NEW. FOR ABOUT 8-12 MONTHS NOW WHEN I AM PUMPING MY GAS THE GAS OVERFLOWS INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I HAVE TO TRY TO GUESS WHEN THE TANK IS ALMOST FULL AND STOP PUMPING SO THE GAS DOES NOT SPILL OUT ALL OVER ME. I HAVE HAD IT POUR ALL OVER MY LEGS AND SHOES. *TR

2005 JEEP TJ WHILE FILLING DOES NOT CLICK THE PUMP OFF AND THEREFORE LEAKS AND SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE ROAD CAUSING AN EPA NIGHTMARE. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN FILLING UP. THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEPS DOING THIS BUT THE GOVERNMENT PAYS NO ATTENTION. MAYBE THE EPA IS TOO BUSY WORRYING ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE OTHER THAN FUEL SPILLAGE AND SEEPAGE INTO WATER SUPPLIES...? *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT, SUSPENSION
2005 JEEP WRANGLER SHAKES VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING ANY MINOR BUMP WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH OR ABOVE. THE VEHICLE MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THE SHAKING WILL STOP. TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACE, WHEEL ALIGNMENT WHICH STOPPED THE SHAKING FOR A FEW MONTHS. THE SHAKING IS BACK AND NOW THE STEERING STABILIZER ARM IS BEING REPLACED JUST TO SEE IF THAT WILL STOP THE SHAKING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS TRYING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON A FREEWAY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP THE VEHICLE'S FUEL TANK, AN AIR POCKET IS TRAPPED AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. WHEN THE TANK BECOMES FULL, THIS AIR POCKET RUSHES TOWARDS THE NECK AND OUT TOWARDS THE PERSON FILLING UP THE VEHICLE. EACH TIME THIS OCCURS, FUEL SPEWS ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND SOMETIMES SPRAYS OUTWARD ONTO THE PUMP HANDLE AND ME. THIS IS DANGEROUS NOT ONLY FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, BUT FOR ME FILLING UP THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GET INTO MY EYES/FACE WHEN THE FUEL AND AIR BUBBLE RUSH OUT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND ANOTHER REPUTABLE MECHANIC, AND BOTH SAID THEY COULD PUT A NEW TANK ON, BUT THAT MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE TANKS ON THE WRANGLERS HAVE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM. ALL SENSORS AND VENTS ON MY TANK ARE WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN THE FUEL TANK BECOMES FULL, THE PUMP IS SHUT OFF AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO, BUT ABOUT HALF A SECOND AFTERWARDS IS WHEN THE AIR AND FUEL SPEW OUT. I AM NOT LETTING THE VEHICLE RUN WHILE FILLING UP, NOR AM I TRYING TO TOP THE TANK OFF. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE FUEL TANK OF THIS VEHICLE AND THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP. I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AND THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER I FILL UP. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS HAPPENED TO THE PREVIOUS OWNERS OR NOT, THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS ON THE INTERNET THAT STATE THAT THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF WRANGLER OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK OF MY JEEP FUEL SPITS BACK. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NORMAL, I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAPPEN. I RECENTLY READ ON LINE ABOUT MANY JEEPS DOING THE SAME THING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT ONE YEAR. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND IS WELL MAINTAINED. *TR

2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED OVERFLOWS FUEL EVERY TIME AT THE PUMP. DOES NOT MATTER IF I HOLD IT, OR IF IT IS ON AUTOMATIC HOLD. ALWAYS OVERFLOWS. SOMETIMES SPRAYS OUT OF THE HOLES ON THE VAPOR LOCK. DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1200 TO REPLACE FUEL TANK. CHRYSLER TSB ON 2007-08, BUT NOT OTHER YEARS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE TOTALITY OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO FILL THE GAS TANK ON MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER X FUEL OVERFLOWS AT THE POINT AT WHICH IT SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. ON SOME OCCASIONS ITS A SMALL AMOUNT, OTHER TIMES, ITS SPRAYS OUT FORCEFULLY AND GETS ALL OVER ME, MY JEEP, THE GROUND, AND ANYTHING ELSE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH GAS STATION I FILL UP AT, IT HAPPENS EVERYWHERE. MY ONLY SOLUTION IS TO ATTEMPT TO CALCULATE HOW MUCH I CAN PUT IN MANUALLY WITHOUT TOTALLY FILLING IT UP. LOTS OF GUESSWORK INVOLVED, SOMETIMES UNSUCCESSFULLY. I SEE SPRAYING A FLAMMABLE LIQUID AROUND IN AN UNINTENDED MANNER AS A SAFETY HAZARD. SO FAR, JEEP DOES NOT SEE IT THE SAME WAY.... *TR

SINCE PURCHASING THE 2005 JEEP RUBICON FROM BENGAL MOTORS, KINGSTON NY A OFFICIAL CHRYSLER, JEEP DEALER IT HAS SPRAYED OUT GAS FROM THE FILLER EVERY TIME YOU FILL IT UP. NO MATTER HOW EASY YOU SQUEEZE THE HANDLE IT WILL SPRAY OUT EVERY TIME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE. MY HAND KEEPS GETTING GAS ALL OVER IT AND THE GAS BURNS MY SKIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL WOULD SPEW BACK OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THE DEALER MADE TWO ATTEMPTS TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND CONCLUDED THAT THE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE PARTS NEEDED WERE NOT READILY AVAILABLE AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING THE ARRIVAL OF THE PARTS FOR REPAIRS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,309 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
