FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SPILLS FUEL EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP. WITHOUT WARNING JUST AFTER THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF GAS SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLED IS ABOUT 4 OZ. IF YOU ARE CLOSE IT SPILLS ON TOP THE PERSON PUMPING. A FIRE DANGER NO DOUBT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE LAST THREE TIMES I HAVE FILLED MY TANK WITH GAS IT HAS SPIT A QUART OR SO OF GASOLINE BACK OUT ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, GROUND AND ME. THIS OCCURRED AT THREE DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AT THREE DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY AND AFTER DIFFERENT DRIVING PATTERNS. ABOUT 1 SECOND AFTER THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, GAS SPITS OUT FROM THE FUEL TANK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE AND THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT ONLY AN INCONVENIENCE, IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD! *TR

WHILE REFUELING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER THE FUEL FILL WOULD OVERFLOW WHEN FULL RATHER THAN CAUSE THE GAS PUMP TO TRIP. THIS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I WOULD REFUEL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE GAS TANK AND THE EVAP CANISTER. *TR

FUEL OVERFLOW WHEN FILLING UP MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4DR., WHEN AT OR NEAR FULL CAPACITY AT THE GAS PUMP. THE GAS OVERFLOWS OUT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE FENDER AND GROUND, NEARLY SPLASHING ONTO ME AS I AM STANDING AT THE FUEL FILLER CAP AREA AT THE JEEP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS, NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 2010 WHILE FILLING UP MY 2008 JEEP WITH GASOLINE TO FULL LEVEL. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WOULD EXPLAIN THIS AS A TERM THAT IS USED IN THE "JEEP COMMUNITY" AS A "DEATH WOBBLE". BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENED IS I WAS EXITING AN INTERSTATE OFF RAMP FOR ANOTHER INTERSTATE. I SLOWED TO ABOUT 40-45 MPH. WHEN I STARTED TO FOLLOW THE BEND TO THE RIGHT I CROSSED OVER A "SEAM" IN THE ROAD CONNECTING SECTIONS OF THE PAVEMENT. IT WAS AT THIS MOMENT THAT MY JEEP JK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE SHAKING WAS LOCATED AT THE FRONT OF THE JEEP. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 10 MPH (LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME) AND THE SHAKING WENT AWAY. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT IT WAS SUCH A VIOLENT SHAKING THAT I THOUGHT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS GOING TO COME OUT OF MY HANDS AND I THOUGHT THE FRONT END OF MY JEEP WAS GOING TO "EXPLODE". IF THE NTSB WOULD SEARCH THE WEB FOR "DEATH WOBBLE" YOU WOULD LOCATE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE THAT SHOW EXACTLY WHAT OCCURRED TO ME.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2008 JEEP WRANGLER JK - GAS OVERFLOW (THIS ISSUE IS THE SAME AS THAT REPORTED IN INVESTIGATION PE10032) WHEN FILLING UP WITH FUEL AT THE SERVICE STATION, GAS OVERFLOWS AND SPRAYS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND, AND THE PERSON OPERATING THE PUMP. THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS SCENARIO AND COULD RESULT IN A FIRE, EXPLOSION, INJURY, OR DEATH. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION. 1. NO EVENTS HAVE LED UP TO THE FAILURE. 2. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE. 3. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SAYS THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY THE FAILURE IS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK ASSEMBLY. *TR

WHEN FUELING VEHICLE, THE TANK APPEARS TO OVERFLOW AND GAS POURS OUT WHEN PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. APPROX 1 TO 2 CUPS OF FUEL LEAKS OUT AND ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AFTER 30000 MILES AND HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY IN THE BEGINNING BUT NOW HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
GOT LOW AIR WARNING FROM TPMS. WENT TO GAS STATION CHECKED PRESSURE IT WAS 28PSI. ATTEMPTED TO ADD AIR AND STEM BROKE COMPLETELY OFF. WENT TO DEALER AND HAD TO REPLACE STEM. I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN COLD WEATHER FOR NUMEROUS CHRYSLER AND JEEP BRANDED VEHICLES WITH TPMS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING OR LEAVES PEOPLE STRANDED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAVING FUEL SPEW FROM FILLER PIPE WHEN FILLING TANK. THIS OCCURS JUST AS TANK IS FULL AND FUEL PUMP AUTOMATICALLY STOPS. THE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLED IS ABOUT 500 CC AND COMES OUT AS A BUBBLY MIXTURE. THE FUEL SPILLS ON THE VEHICLE AND ON TO THE GROUND. IT WILL GET ON THE PERSON FILLING IF STANDING CLOSE. THE PROBLEMS STARTED AT ABOUT 37K MILES AND IS NOW OCCURRING WITH NEARLY EVERY FILL-UP. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN THAT WOULD ALLOW ONE TO STOP THE PUMP BEFORE THE OVERFLOW OCCURS. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
WHEN DRIVING THE JEEP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE FRONT END WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. IT BECOMES VERY HARD TO STEER THE JEEP. YOU HAVE TO ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THE SHAKING WILL STOP. SHAKING HAS A SIMILAR FEEL TO A TIRE BLOW OUT. MY JEEP HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT STARTED AT ABOUT 12,000 MILES. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE STABILIZER SHOCK 2 TIMES BUT THAT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE STOCK JK MODEL WRANGLER JEEP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. THERE IS PLENTY OF ACCOUNTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET. YOU CAN SEE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE. JUST SEARCH ON JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS WILL SPILL OUT (SPLASH) FROM THE FILLER TUBE BECAUSE THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUTOFF FEATURE ON GAS PUMPS WILL NOT DETECT FUEL FILL LEVEL UNTIL TOO LATE. GAS WILL USUALLY HEMORRHAGE ENOUGH TO SPLASH OUT OF THE TUBE AND RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND COLLECT ON THE BUMPER. IF YOU STAND TOO CLOSE IN SOME CASES YOU MIGHT GET GAS ON YOUR CLOTHING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH LATE MODEL JEEP JK MODELS
