FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER SPEWS GAS OUT THE FILLER EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP. THIS STARTED AROUND 30,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN DOING IT SINCE. FORTUNATELY THIS HAS NOT CAUSED ANY SERIOUS PROBLEM YET BUT SPILLING GAS EVERY TIME I FILL UP IS NOT ONLY A WASTE BUT A HAZARD TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS IS NOT A LONE INCIDENT, MANY REPORTS OF THIS EXACT ISSUE HAVE COME UP ON INTERNET FORUMS AND OTHER JEEP OWNERS OF SIMILAR YEARS WHO I KNOW. PEOPLE ARE EVEN POSTING VIDEOS OF IT ON U TUBE! FROM MY LIMITED RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY VALVE IN THE GAS TANK, WHICH DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT COVERING UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT, STEERING
I OWN A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 29,500 MILES ON IT. RECENTLY, THE FRONT-END HAS STARTED TO WOBBLE/SHAKE VIOLENTLY AT SPEEDS AROUND 40-45 MILES PER HOUR CAUSING NEAR LOSS OF CONTROL. WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON, IN FACT, IT HAS BEEN LABELED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". PROBLEM IS, NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE IDENTIFIED THE EXACT CAUSE OR FIX. SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE: INSTALL AFTER-MARKET HEAVY STEERING STABILIZER (DID THAT, NO CHANGE), ALIGNMENT, WHEEL BALANCE, STEERING BOX, CAMBER ANGLE, ETC. ANY SUGGESTIONS? *TR

SEAT BELTS, EQUIPMENT
I WISH TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SEAT BELT MALFUNCTION IN MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER TJ. WITH ONLY 16000 MILES THE RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RETRACT ANYMORE AND IT APPEARS THAT THE PLASTIC SPACERS CAME APART. I REPLACED THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY TO THE COST OF $325.00 FOR A NEW BELT ASSEMBLY. IF MY JEEP BELT IS DEFECTIVE ARE THERE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE JEEP SEAT BELTS? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER LWB, RECENTLY, EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH FUEL,GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER. THIS DEFECT IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE JEEP WEBSITE FORUMS. IT SEEMS CHRYSLER IS REPLACING SOME FUEL TANKS, AS THEY ARE ATTRIBUTED TO THE ROLLOVER VALVE, BUILT INTO THE TANK. BUT, AS I SEE IT, THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, AS THE TANKS THEY ARE REPLACING, WILL IN TIME, DO THE SAME THING. YOUR TIMELY INVESTIGATION OF THIS MATTER, IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE. THE VIOLENCE OF SOME OF THE SPILLS I HAVE WITNESSED, DESERVE IMMEDIATE ACTION. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
HELLO, OUR 2005 JEEP WRANGLER HAS AN ISSUE WITH GAS SPILLING OUT OF THE GAS TANK WHENEVER IT IS FILLED UP AT THE GAS STATION. A SIGNIFICANT VOLUME OF GASOLINE SPRAYS OUTWARD ONTO THE DRIVER, AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH I BELIEVE MAY BE A SAFETY CONCERN. IT SEEMS THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND IS QUITE COMMON, AS I HAVE EVEN SEEN VIDEO DOCUMENTATION ON WEB SITES SUCH AS "YOUTUBE." *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS HAD FUEL OVERFLOW (ACTUALLY MORE SHOOT OUT) WHILE FUELING MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON. IT OCCURS AS THE FUEL IS NEARING FULL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT MANY DIFFERENT FUELING LOCATIONS AND I ALWAYS PUMP ON THE LOWEST SETTING. I HAVE EVEN BEEN SPRAYED MANUALLY FILLING THE TANK. AFTER READING THE TJ TECHNICAL FORUM ON JEEPFORUM.COM THIS SEEMS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE IS THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
1. TWO MONTHS AGO WHILE AT THE GAS STATION FILLING THE TANK OF MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER X, THE PUMP DID NOT SHUTOFF AND FUEL SPILLED. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STATIONS PUMP, SO I DECIDED TO TRY A DIFFERENT STATION FOR MY NEXT FILL-UP. A WEEK LATER; WHILE FILLING AT ANOTHER STATION THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. 2. IN THE THREE INSTANCES THE OVER FLOW HAPPENED; I WAS HOLDING THE FILL HANDLE IN THE 6 O'CLOCK POSITION, THE NOZZLE WAS FULLY INSERTED INTO THE FILL HOLE, AND I HAD THE HANDLE FULLY DEPRESSED (NOZZLE WIDE OPEN). AS THE TANK REACHED FULL, IT DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUTOFF, IT CONTINUED FILLING UNTIL ABOUT A QUART OF GASOLINE SPILLED ONTO THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER'S WARRANTY DEPARTMENT, SERVICE CONTRACTS DEPARTMENT, GOODWILL TEAM, AND SENIOR RESOLUTION TEAM TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND REQUEST THEM TO TAKE ACTION. UNFORTUNATELY, I BELIEVE MY CALLS ARE BEING SIMPLY MARKED TO A CASE FILE AND NO INVESTIGATORY ACTION IS BEING TAKEN. I CAN EASILY SEE AN INCIDENT SUCH AS MINE LEADING TO INJURY OF AN UNKNOWING CHRYSLER OWNER. IF ANY STATIC CHARGE IS PRESENT (I.E. IN CLOTHING OR THE VEHICLE) WHEN THE OVERFLOW OCCURS THE GAS WILL IGNITE. THE PROBLEM POSES THE GREATEST THREAT WHEN IT HAPPENS THE FIRST TIME, BECAUSE THE OWNER WILL HAVE NO WARNING SIGNALS OF A FAILED PART(S) AND THEREFORE WILL NOT BE EXPECTING THE SPILL. 3. TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING; I KNOW LONGER FILL MY TANK TO ITS' FULL 16 GALLON CAPACITY. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE ADVISED THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE VAPOR CANISTER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY JEEP IN MAY OF 2005. SINCE THAT TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE O2 SENSOR REPLACED THREE TIMES. THE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. I TRULY FEEL THERE HAS BEEN A MALFUNCTION IN THESE SENSORS, SINCE I TALK TO OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. CAN YOU FIX THIS UNDER A RECALL? *TR

2005 JEEP WRANGLER X GAS TANK AUTO-SHUT OFF MALFUNCTION THE AUTO-SHUT OFF OF THE GAS PUMP WHEN THE TANK IS DETECTED AS FULL HAS MALFUNCTIONED SEVERAL TIMES CAUSING AN OVERFLOW AND SPILLAGE OF GASOLINE WHEN RE-FUELING. THIS IS REGARDLESS OF THE GAS STATION (COMPANY) AND PUMP, IT APPEARS THE AUTO-SHUT OFF IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS 52,000 MILES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE IT OFTEN DOESN'T REGISTER THE FACT THAT THE TANK IS FULL AND THE GAS COMES POURING OUT. THE GAS LEAKS ONTO ME, MY JEEP AND THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK. I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT'S BAD TO GET GASOLINE ON YOUR BODY/CLOTHING, IT'S ALSO DAMAGED THE PAINT ON MY JEEP IN THAT AREA AND THE SPILLAGE ON THE GROUND IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND A DANGER FOR OTHERS AS WELL. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. CHRYSLER CLAIMS THEY DON'T SEE IT AS A "SAFETY HAZARD." OF COURSE, IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE IS A FAULTY PART IN THE GAS TANK/GAS TANK ASSEMBLY THAT SOME OF US CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR OUT OF POCKET. IN FACT, WHY SHOULD WE? IT'S A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING BUT I LISTED THE APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE AS THE MONTH I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER HAVING MY JEEP FOR 3 1/2 YEARS, EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK (NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION) THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF DOES NOT WORK ON THE PUMP AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF GAS SPILL OUT EVERYWHERE. IT DID NOT DO THIS FOR THE FIRST 3 1/2 YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND IT'S BELIEVED TO BE THE ROLL OVER CHECK VALVE IN THE TANK BEING BAD. LOCATED HERE IS JUST ONE 14 PAGE DISCUSSION: HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F9/GAS-SPILLING-OVER-WHEN-FILLING-872096/ IF THIS IS HAPPENING WITH THIS MANY PEOPLE IT COULD BE A MAJOR FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD AT A GAS STATION. *TR
