FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHENEVER I FILL MY TANK UP, THE GAS SPILLS OVER ONTO THE CAR, THE GROUND, AND MYSELF. ABOUT A QUART SPILLS OVER SO COULD BE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING UP MY 2 DOOR JEEP WRANGLER IT NEVER FAILS TO OVERFLOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT PUMP I USE OR HOW FAST OR SLOW I FILL UP. I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT THEY FIXED A COUPLE YEARS AND MINE DOESN'T FIT INTO THAT. I FEEL IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT THEY WON'T FIX ALL YEARS CONSIDERING THEY KNOW THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND A SAFETY HAZZARD AS THE GAS DOESN'T JUST GET ALL OVER MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND BUT MYSELF AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A COUPLE MONTHS, I THOUGHT IT WAS MAYBE THE PUMP OR THE WAY I WAS PUMPING THE GAS AND NOTHING I HAVE DONE TO CHANGE IT HAS HELPED.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
EXPERIENCED THE VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING WHEEL WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. APPARENTLY THIS IS REFERRED TO AS A "DEATH WOBBLE" BUT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED YET. MY BEST GUESS IS, AFTER MULTIPLE PEOPLE DIE FROM THIS MALFUNCTION AND SUE THE CHRYSLER/JEEP CORPORATION, THEN IT A RECALL MIGHT BE ISSUED AND THE PROBLEM FIXED! I AM HIGHLY AGITATED BY THIS ISSUE AND THE REOCCURENCE!!!!!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EACH TIME I FILL MY JEEP WITH GAS THERE IS A GUSHING OF GAS AT THE END OF FILL UP. EACH TIME I FILL IT UP THE JEEP DOESNT WANT TO TAKE THE GAS EITHER. IT WAS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AT A GAS STATION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UPON FILLING THE JEEP WITH GASOLINE (SINCE OWNING THE CAR), NO MATTER THE PUMP/STATION, THE AUTOMATIC STOPPING MECHANISM WILL STOP FILLING WHEN IT IS FULL AND A "BUBBLE" WILL BACK FLOW CAUSING GASOLINE TO SHOOT OUT OF THE CAR AND SOAK THE BUMPER/FENDER/ME. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AT A GAS STATION COVERED IN GASOLINE SO HAVE TRIED FIXING THIS. I HAVE REPLACED THE EVAP CANISTER BUT AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO RATHER THAN GET AN ENTIRE NEW GAS TANK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WIPERS TURN ON BY THEMSELVES, SOMETIMES WON'T WORK WHEN DRIVING. RADIO CONSTANTLY REPROGRAMMING ITSELF. HEADLIGHTS SOMETIMES COME ON WITHOUT TURNING THEM ON YET OCCASIONALLY WON'T WORK WHEN DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING I'VE HAD THE RADIO SHUT OFF, TRIP ODOMETER RESET, MILEAGE RESET, IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE CPU RESETS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. LASTLY, IVE HAD THE ENTIRE JEEP STALL WHILE STOPPED AT INTERSECTIONS. MOST TIMES IT TAKES 2-3 CRANKS TO GET IT STARTED. NOTHING LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH WHEN I TRY TO START IT. THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 30-40 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. THE RADIO REPROGRAMMING ITSELF HAPPENS DAILY.

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. INTERNAL FLANGE IS EITHER NON-EXISTENT, DAMAGED, OR INOPERABLE AS THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. UNLESS I STOP THE FILL SHORT OF 16 GALLONS, GAS SPILLS ALL OVER THE JEEP & USUALLY ALL OVER MYSELF AS WELL.

SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 45 AND 55 MPH THE JEEP WILL BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE SO BAD IT IS HARD TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL, AND THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VIOLENT SHAKING IS INTERMITTENT, I AM ABLE TO DRIVE THE SAME ROUTE WITH NO PROBLEM, AND OTHER TIMES THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO A VIOLENT SHAKE.
