FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I FILL UP MY TANK AT THE GAS STATION, THE AUTO FILL WON'T CLICK OFF UNTIL THE GAS TANK IS OVERFILLED, AND SPRAYS OUT, THEN RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I USE THEIR AUTO FILL NOTCHES AND WALK AWAY OR HOLD IT BY HAND, THE GAS WONT CLICK OFF UNTIL THE TANK HAS OVERFLOWED. IT SPILLS BETWEEN A LITER AND A PINT EACH TIME. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP 2 WEEKS AGO, EVERY TIME I GO TO FILL UP WITH GAS, NO MATTER WHICH GAS STATION I AM AT THE GAS ALWAYS COMES SPEWING OUT. I HAVE TRIED MANY THINGS, EVEN POSITIONING THE GAS HANDLE AT DIFFERENT ANGLES ECT. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A FAULTY FUEL TANK/EVAP. THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THIS. I HAVE TALKED TO DEALER SHIPS SAYING THAT THE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IN MY OPINION THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 37000 MILES ON IT, AND I ALREADY HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK!? I THINK JEEP/CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FOOT THE BILL ON THIS ONE... *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL SYSTEM DOES NOT RESPOND TO A SHUT-OFF MECHANISM. EVERY TIME WE FILL UP THE GAS ON OUR 2005 WRANGLER UNLIMITED, GAS WILL COME BACK OUT AND SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND SOMETIMES SPRAY SURROUNDING AREA. SO IF YOU ARE STANDING ANYWHERE NEAR IT, MOST LIKELY YOU WILL HAVE GAS ALL OVER YOURSELF. WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS OF THE 2005 WRANGLER THAT ONLY HAD 5500 MILES ON IT WHEN WE BOUGHT THE JEEP AND NOW HAVE ABOUT 7500 MILES AND HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE EVERY TIME WE FILL THE GAS TANK. DEALERSHIP WANTS $1400.00 TO REPLACE PLUS LABOR. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH OR ABOVE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO REDUCE SPEED TO REGAIN CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO TEST DROVE AND WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE FAILURE IN THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THEY ADVISED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE STEERING ASSEMBLY. THE STEERING ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WA 82,000. THE DEALER DID ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT. THE CONSUMER STATED HE FOUND A MECHANIC THAT WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM AND ALL FOUR CONTROL ARMS, TRAC BAR AND STEERING SHOCK WERE REPLACED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAD JUST BOUGHT AN UNLIMITED 2005 JEEP WRANGLER- THE FIRST TIME I STOPPED TO GET GAS I FOUND OUT VERY QUICKLY THAT THERE IS AN OVERFLOW PROBLEM WITH THESE MODELS. EVERYONE WHO IS A JEEP OWNER KNOWS ABOUT IT AND SAYS THERE ARE SOME FIXES, BUT THEY ARE LENGTHY. EVERYONE WHO ISN'T WONDERS WHY IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED AND FIXED. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT COULD POSE A LARGE HAZARD AT GAS STATIONS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUELING UP AT THE GAS STATION, CANNOT FILL UP WITHOUT GAS SPITTING OUT ONTO ME, THE VEHICLE, AND THE GROUND. NO OTHER VEHICLE I'VE OWNED HAS THIS PROBLEM, INCLUDING AN 03 JEEP WRANGLER AND A 2000 DODGE DURANGO, BOTH OF WHICH IN MORE RECENT MODEL YEARS HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH HAZARD, AS FUEL IS A CARCINOGEN. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE FUELING THIS VEHICLE, AS THE TANK GOT FULL AND THE PUMP SHUT OFF, THE FUEL BELCHED OUT, AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS PUMP SO I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, IT HAS NOW GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE IT DOES IT EVERY TIME, AT EVERY DIFFERENT GAS STATION. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH PLENTY OF VIDEO TO SUPPORT THESE COMPLAINTS, WHAT IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND IS WHY YOU AREN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES HAVE FORCED ALL GAS STATIONS TO LIMIT/RECOVER FUGITIVE EMISSIONS, BUT ALL THIS VIDEO EVIDENCE ISN'T ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A RECALL OF ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES? *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
WAS ON VACATION IN ALASKA WHEN WE STARTED TO GET THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE ( SHIMMY) . WE TRIED WHEEL BALANCE AS I THOUGHT MAYBE WE LOST A WHEEL WEIGHT. STILL SHIMMYING. INSTALLED A NEW STEERING DAMPENER AND THIS HELPED A LITTLE. STILL SHAKING AT AROUND 55 TO 60 MPH. ENDED UP BUYING 4 NEW TIRES AND THAT SEEMS TO HAVE HELPED BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A SLIGHT SHIMMY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. NOTHING LIKE B/4 THOU WHEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO SLAM THE BRAKES ON TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING. WAITING FOR IT TO START AGAIN. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I BOUGHT THE JEEP USED BACK IN 2007. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES IN THE FIRST MONTH TO HAVE THEM BALANCE, ROTATE TIRES, CHECK ALIGNMENT. WAS TOLD I NEEDED NEW TIRES. NEW TIRES DOES FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A WHILE. I HAVE REPLACED BRAKES, ROTORS, TIRES, HAD ALIGNMENTS, ROTATIONS ETC. ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RECUR. I HAVE NOW FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS CALLED THE "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE" AND HAS HUNDREDS OF LIKE COMPLAINTS. MY TIRE WOBBLES TERRIBLY AT AROUND 55 MILES PER HOUR. I AM NOW TOLD THAT I SHOULD REPLACE MY UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS. CHRYSLER/JEEP HAS ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED A SIMILAR PROBLEM ON THEIR LIBERTY. THEY NEED TO DISCOVER THE PROBLEM SO THAT WE CAN FIX THIS AND RIDE SAFELY BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS DEFECT. *TR
