FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE GAS WILL OVERFLOW, SPILL OUT, WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK. THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AND GAS SPILLS OUT AFTER SHUT OFF. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THEY DIAGNOSED A BAD VALVE IN THE TANK WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE TANK TO BE REMOVED/REPLACED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK TO FULL (WHEN THE NOZZLE SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF), THE GAS WILL OVERFLOW/SPIT OUT FUEL AND SPILL. I'VE TAKEN THIS INTO THE JEEP DEALER TO DETERMINE WHAT THE CAUSE IS. THE DEALER'S DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY SHUTOFF VALVE WITHIN THE TANK AND TO FIX THIS ISSUE, THE WHOLE TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY "USER ERROR". THIS ISSUE IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH JEEP WRANGLERS AS CITED FROM NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AS SPILLED FUEL POSES A FIRE HAZARD TO THE FUELING STATION, THE VEHICLE, AND THE DRIVER/PASSENGERS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY TANK, GAS GUSHES OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE AUTO SHUTOFF ON THE NOZZLE WILL NOT WORK. I AM NOT "TOPPING OFF" OR LEAVING THE HOSE UNATTENDED.THIS HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. I FEEL THAT GASOLINE SPEWING OUT ONTO MY CLOTHES, ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE PAVEMENT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER MY STANDARD WARRANTY ENDED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT REPAIR IS NOT COVERED, EVEN THOUGH THE EXACT PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE IF I HAD AN OLDER MODEL JEEP. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN REFUELING, WHEN THE FUEL FILLER NOZZLE CLICKS OFF, THERE IS A GUSH OF FUEL THAT SPOUTS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK FOR A SECOND OR TWO. IT HAS NOW BECOME CONSISTENT, REGARDLESS OF WHEN OR WHERE THE VEHICLE IS REFUELED (AT 6000' OR 3000', ON 75 DEGREE DAYS OR 30). THIS PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR BEFORE THIS PAST SUMMER, AND WAS INTERMITTENT UNTIL ABOUT THIS OCTOBER. IT NOW OCCURS ANYTIME THE FILLER IS ALLOWED TO CLICK OFF. IT BEHAVES AS IF THE FUEL TANK IS NOT VENTING AS FUEL IS DELIVERED. WHEN THE DELIVERY IS CUT OFF, THE PRESSURE IN THE TANK, INCREASED THROUGH INTRODUCTION OF FUEL WITHOUT AN EQUIVALENT REDUCTION IN VOLUME OF AIR, EXPELS THE FUEL REMAINING IN THE FILLER NECK UNTIL EQUALIZED. THIS IS SPECULATION ON MY PART BUT PLAUSIBLY DESCRIBES THE OBSERVED BEHAVIOR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING MY 2010 JEEP WRANGLER, THE TANK OVERFLOWS ONTO THE GROUND AT THE PUMP. I HAVE TRIED LIMITING FLOW AT THE HANDLE AND IT STILL DOES IT. THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AS RAW FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE GROUND AND DRIPS FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF CAUSING FUEL TO SPILL OUT OF THE GAS TANK, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. I HAVE TRIED VARIOUS BRANDS OF GAS, VARIOUS SERVICE STATIONS, AND THE PROBLEM CAN BE REPLICATED EVERY TIME. THE SPEED OF FUELING DOESN'T HELP EITHER. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED (SB-14-002-09) IN RESPONSE TO NHTSA REFERENCE: 10032006, BUT IT ONLY COVERED UP TO MODEL YEARS 2009. IT APPEARS THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS IN MODEL YEAR 2010. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE EXITING A 55 MPH SPEED ZONE ONTO A 65MPH INTERSTATE HIGHWAY I EXPERIENCED EXTREME SHAKING IN THE FRONT END. THE JEEP ACTUALLY HOPPED ON THE ROAD FORCING ME TO PULL OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES IN THE COURSE OF 1 MONTH. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AT MY DEALER. MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 1 WEEK IN WHICH THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THE SAME ISSUE BEGAN HAPPENING 3 DAYS AFTER I GOT IT BACK. I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER EXPLAINING THE ISSUE AND BEGAN RESEARCHING ON MY OWN. I CAME ACROSS MANY INSTANCES OF THE SAME THING- DEATH WOBBLE. IT HAPPENS WHEN MY JEEP HITS 60-70 MPH CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY STOP THE VEHICLE, USUALLY IN HIGH SPEED INTERSTATE TRAFFIC CAUSING DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORISTS. MY JEEP IS STOCK, SO THE EXCUSE ABOUT BEING LIFTED DOES NOT APPLY TO ME. IT SEEMS CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND DOES NOTHING TO RECALL THE VEHICLES. I'M BEING TOLD THE PARTS/REPAIRS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MY JEEP STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT OF JEEP WILL INTERMITTENTLY START SHAKING VIOLENTLY, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY AND PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT'S VERY SCARY AND I AM AFRAID IT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT HAPPENS SO SUDDENLY AT A HIGH SPEED. I PURCHASED MY JEEP ABOUT A YEAR AGO FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER AND WITHIN A WEEK NOTICED IT HAD A "POPPING" NOISE WHEN BACKING UP AND THEN GOING FORWARD. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO THIS CHRYSLER DEALER 3 TIMES TO HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT. THE FIRST TIME, THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW BRAKES, SO I HAD NEW BRAKES INSTALLED, BUT MY JEEP CONTINUES TO MAKE THIS "POPPING" NOISE. THE LAST 2 TIMES I TOOK MY JEEP TO THIS CHRYSLER DEALER, THEY INSIST THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY JEEP AND THEY DO NOT HEAR THIS NOISE. NOW MY JEEP HAS HAD THESE EPISODES OF VIOLENT SHAKING AND I WONDER IF THE TWO PROBLEMS ARE CONNECTED. I HAVE SEEN REPORTS OF A "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE" AND FEEL THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT I HAVE HAD OCCUR WITH MY JEEP. IS THERE ANY KIND OF RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2010 WRANGLER RUBICON, MANUAL TRANNY THAT POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR ON OCCASION. THERE ARE NUMEROUS FORUMS WITH COMPLAINTS I FOUND YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING THE PROBLEM AS WELL. I INQUIRED ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN UNDER WARRANTY AND TOLD NO RECALL AND NO " PROBLEM" IT DID IT LAST NIGHT GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION (LEFT TURN) WHICH BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE JEEP CEASES TO TRAVEL AND I GET T- BONED. *TR
