1. FILLING THE GAS TANK IN MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER, IF I ALLOW THE PUMP TO ACTUALLY FILL IT UP (UNTIL YOU HEAR THE "CLICK" SOUND) JUST BEFORE THE CLICK GAS SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER NOZZLE (AT LEAST A COUPLE CUPS WORTH). 2. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I LET THE PUMP FILL MY TANK UNTIL FULL. I VERY QUICKLY LEARNED THAT I'D HAVE TO JUST ESTIMATE HOW MUCH GAS I NEEDED, ROUND DOWN, AND NOT FILL UP ALL THE WAY (MANUALLY). 3. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER, AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY FUEL FILLER OR TANK, DESPITE THIS BEING A WIDELY DOCUMENTED ISSUE ON WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM. ON A LATER PAGE IT KEPT SAYING IT WAS INVALID, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THIS IS CORRECT. *TR

WHEN FUELING, GAS SHOOTS OUT OF FILLER TUBE DUE TO DEFECTIVE CHECK VALVE. THIS IS BOTH A FIRE HAZARD AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK GETS GAS ALL OVER THEM.

EVERYTHING I FILL MY 05 JEEP WRANGLER THE GAS SPEWS OUT WHEN THE NOZZLE CUTS OFF. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO. BEFORE THEN WAS NORMAL WHEN FILLED. I TALKED TO THE JEEP DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL OR ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. *DT

I BOUGHT THE JEEP AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CHRYSLER. I'VE ONLY OWNED THE JEEP FOR A MONTH AND NOTICED GAS PUMPS DO NOT SHUT OFF WHEN FILLING THE TANK. I'VE TRIED MULTIPLE PUMPS, AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S NOT SOMETHING COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL TANK, EVERY TIME I FILL UP, REGARDLESS OF THE GAS STATION I GO TO, FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED ONTO THE PAVEMENT. I HAVE TRIED OVER 30 DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS IN 3 DIFFERENT STATES. I HAVE HEARD THIS SAME COMPLAINT FROM MANY OTHER JEEP AND CHRYSLER PRODUCT OWNERS. THE CONSTANT EXPOSURE TO FUEL IS DAMAGING THE PAINT ON MY FENDER AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE PAVEMENT. ALSO, I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FIRE EVERY TIME I FILL UP. *TR

AT THE END OF THE PUMPING OF GAS, IT SPEWS OUT THE FUEL LINE AND ALL OVER MY JEEP AND THE GROUND. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL ISSUE. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING FROM PUMPING FAST TO SLOW, NOZZLE RIGHT SIDE UP TO UPSIDE DOWN, ALL THE WAY IN AND HALF WAY OUT. NOTHING STOPS THE PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING
2005 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 39,000 MILES SHAKES VIOLENTLY ON THE FREEWAY AT 50-75 MPH. ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND THEN COULD ONLY GET THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL BY SLOWING TO 40MPH AND ALMOST GOT RE-ENDED. 1) THERE WAS A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING 2) ALMOST LOST CONTROL, THEN NEAR MISS BY VEHICLES BEHIND ME WHEN I HAD TO REDUCE SPEED TO 40MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL 3) I WILL BE SENDING THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS AND NOTHING THE DEALER DOES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM HAS WORKED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
1) WHEN FILLING GAS TANK WITH NOZZLE CORRECTLY INSERTED INTO FUEL TANK FILLER, THE GAS WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF TANK BEFORE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. GASOLINE THEN SPILLS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND ON THE TARMAC. CREATING A FIRE HAZARD. 2) THIS OCCURS 90% OF THE TIME I GAS UP. EVERY TIME IT LEAVES A PUDDLE OF GAS AT THE STATION AND MY VEHICLE IS COVERED WITH GAS AS WELL. 3) SO FAR I HAVE NOT PERFORMED ANY SERVICE TO CORRECT FAILURE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN REFUELING, FUEL WILL OVERFLOW FROM THE FILLER NECK BEFORE THE PUMP WILL STOP. ONCE THE FUEL COMES OUT, THE PUMP WILL THEN STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED REGULARLY AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND RESULTS IN APPROXIMATELY 0.25 GALLON OF FUEL ON THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SURGES BACK OUT OF FILL TUBE WHILE REFUELING. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I REFUEL NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION, GAS PUMP, HOW MUCH FUEL IS ADDED. ABOUT A QUART OF FUEL WILL BURP BACK OUT AND WILL SPLASH ON THE VEHICLE, GROUND, AND PERSON REFUELING THE JEEP. I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY ADMITTED THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY CHECK VALVE LOCATED INSIDE OF THE GAS TANK. THE ONLY REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS BECAUSE I'M THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WHICH IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS 53,000 MILES. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO BE A RECALL AT THE MANUFACTURES EXPENSE. *TR
