FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, REGARDLESS OF FAST OR SLOW, GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILL PORT WHEN THE TANK IF FULL. FAST, IT SPEWS GAS ABOUT 2 FEET OUT FROM THE VEHICLE, SLOW, IT JUST RUNS OUT THE FILLER SPOUT WITHOUT SHUTTING THE PUMP OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I USUALLY LOOSE A COUPLE CUPS OF FUEL ON THE GROUND EVERY TIME I FILL UP. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FUELING, IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS FUEL OUT FROM THE GAS TANK. IT SEEMS TO BE A BIT BETTER IF I MANUALLY HOLD THE FUEL PUMP AND PUMP THE GAS AT AN EXTREMELY SLOW RATE. I AM NOT ABLE TO LET THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY FILL OTHERWISE FUEL SPILLS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FUEL THE JEEP. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF TOO LATE, RESULTS IN FUEL SPILLAGE EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS FILLED UNLESS THE TANK IS NOT FILLED COMPLETELY. GAS BLOWS BACK ONTO HAND OF PERSON FILLING VEHICLE CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD, AND ALSO SPILLS ONTO GROUND AND VEHICLE CAUSING FIRE HAZARD. THE SHUT-OFF WORKS, BUT COMES TOO LATE TO BE EFFECTIVE - USUALLY PUMP SHUTS OFF THEN MOMENTARILY LATER GAS FLIES OUT OF FILLER NECK. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CONSISTENTLY, WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF FILL RATE, IF THE NOZZLE IS NOT STOPPED MANUALLY, GASOLINE ERUPTS FROM THE FILLER NECK WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. IT IS USUALLY ENOUGH TO LEAVE GAS DRIPPING DOWN THE VEHICLE AND A SMALL PUDDLE UNDERNEATH. THIS HAPPENS EACH AND EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY SHUT-OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I'VE OWNED THE JEEP FOR 2 MONTHS NOW AND THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. WHEN THE GAS TANK GETS FULL IT SPITS OUT THE GASOLINE INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF THE PUMP HANDLE LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE NOT FOUND ANY MENTION OF A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE IF THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON, I HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN REFUELING THE CAR. I BOUGHT MY CAR SECOND-HAND. IF I LEAVE THE GAS NOZZLE ON 'AUTO', THE AUTO-SHUTOFF OF THE PUMP SHUTS OFF TOO LATE, RESULTING IN A GUSH OF GASOLINE SQUIRTING OUT OF THE TANK. THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT ANY SPILLING OF GAS DURING FUELLING IS TO LISTEN TO THE NOISE THAT THE ESCAPING AIR OUT OF THE TANK MAKES, OR GUESSTIMATING ROUGHLY HOW MUCH GAS THE CAR NEEDS, THEN MANUALLY VERY SLOWLY CONTINUE TO FILL UP. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
AT 53 MPH THE FRONT END STARTS WHAT IS WELL KNOWN AS A DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THAT JEEP NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON AND FIX. MY JEEP SHAKES SO BAD IT WILL JERK THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF YOUR HANDS. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
NOW THAT HAVE FORCED CHRYSLER TO RECALL JEEP MODELS FOR AIRBAG PROBLEMS HOW ABOUT FORCING JEEP/CHRYSLER TO RECALL AND FIX JEEP FOR THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS LAST YEAR. AT ABOUT 50MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I THOUGHT I WAS IN A BLENDER. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND JEEP FORUM AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLERS. I EVEN CHECKED WITH THE JEEP DEALER HERE IN OKLAHOMA AND WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE BALL JOINTS, STEERING CYLINDER AND/OR EVEN WORN TIRES. HE EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC SAID THE BALL JOINTS WERE GOOD... THE TIRES JUST OK. BUT STEERING CYLINDER WOULD PROBABLY NEED REPLACING. SO I PAID $145.00 TO THE JEEP/CHRYSLER DEALER FOR A NEW STEERING CYLINDER. TURNS OUT THE ONE I PURCHASED WAS MUCH BIGGER THEN THE ONE I REPLACED. IT STILL SHOOK A LITTLE UNTIL I REPLACED THE TIRES AT ANOTHER $650.00. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. I HOPE YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS. PLEASE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT AND MAYBE ALREADY HAS. THANKS *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EACH TIME I REFILL THE FUEL TANK, THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF SPLASH BACK OF FUEL OUT OF THE FILLER AFTER THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN IT DETECTS THAT THE TANK IS FULL. IT STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 30000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND HAPPENS EVERY TIME I REFUEL THE JEEP. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ADDING GASOLINE TO GAS TANK AT A FILLING STATION WITH A STANDARD PUMP NOZZLE, WILL ALWAYS RESULT IN AN EXPULSION OF GASOLINE FROM THE VEHICLE FILLER OPENING WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THE PUMP NOZZLE DOES SHUT OFF THE DELIVERY OF FUEL, BUT A SUSPECTED DESIGN FLAW PERMITS GASOLINE TO ERUPT OUT OF THE FILLER OPENING, WHICH WILL SPLASH ONTO AN UNSUSPECTING PERSON DOING THE REFILLING, ONTO HIS SHOES, AND RUN DOWN THE OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE, CREATING AN UNNECESSARY HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZARD. VIDEO DOCUMENTATION CAN BE EASILY FOUND WITH A QUICK SEARCH ON YOUTUBE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I OWN A 2006 JEEP TJ RUBICON & AM HAVING A REFUELING ISSUE AT THE GAS PUMP. AT FIRST IT OVERFLOWED MAYBE TWICE. NOW I CAN'T REFUEL WITHOUT THE SHUT -OFF (ON THE GAS PUMP) SHUTTING OFF. THE ONLY WAY I CAN REFUEL IS BY HOLDING THE PUMP LEVER GENTLY WHICH DOES RESULTS IN AN OVER FLOW. I TALKED TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE & THEY SAID THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM & MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME FOR DIAGNOSTICS A MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHICH WILL COST ME $120.00 FOR A PROBLEM THAT OTHER TJ OWNERS ARE TALKING ABOUT ON THE INTERNET. THIS HAS BEEN A REFUELING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS. *TR

SEAT BELTS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PUTTING ON HER SEAT BELT AND TRYING TO TIGHTEN IT, THE METAL PART INSIDE THE CHAIR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,113.
