FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME WHEN FUELING THE CAR, THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS. THE SHUT OFF VALVE IS FAULTY. THE JEEP BOARDS HAVE MANY DOCUMENTED INCIDENTS OF THIS OCCURRING. THE CAR IS A 2005 BUT ONLY HAS 20,000 MILES ON IT. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR 2007 AND NEWER BUT NOTHING FOR MY CAR WHICH IS A 2005. THE RESPONSE FROM JEEP IS IT IS THE FAULT OF THE GAS. ETHANOL CAUSES THE SHUT OFF VALVE TO EXPAND. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE IT'S FAULTY ENGINEERING. *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, THE FUEL PUMP DID NOT "AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF" AND SHOT ROUGHLY 1/4 GALLON OF GASOLINE OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. THOROUGHLY CLEANED VEHICLE BUT STILL SMELT GASOLINE VAPORS INSIDE OF THE CAB FOR 30 MINUTES WITH THE WINDOW DOWN. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND IT IS DUE TO THE VEHICLE'S ICV BECOMING STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION, WHICH BUILDS PRESSURE INSIDE OF THE GAS TANK, ALLOWING THE FILLER NECK TO FILL WITH GASOLINE, AND THEN RELEASES THE PRESSURE WHICH PROPELLS THE GASOLINE OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND ONTO THE GROUND. IN ORDER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM I MUST REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CONTACT WITH YOU TODAY INVOLVES A FUEL SPIT BACK PROBLEM DURING REFUELING ON MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER (TJ). I AM AWARE OF MANY BULLETINS AND RECALLS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, MY VEHICLE IS INCLUDED IN ONE SUCH BULLETIN HOWEVER FALLS OUTSIDE OF ANY COVERAGE FOR REPAIR OF THIS PROBLEM BY THE MANUFACTURER. MY QUESTION IS; HOW CAN THE MANUFACTURER COVER REPAIRS AND PROVIDE AN EXTENDED OR IN SOME CASES A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THIS FLAW FOR 2007 AND 2008 VEHICLES AND IGNORE ALL OF THE OTHER MODEL YEARS THAT HAVE THE SAME FLAW? THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME NEARLY ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS WHEREAS SOME PEOPLE GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED AT NO COST TO THEM. PLEASE HELP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2005 JEEP UNLIMITED RUBICON (TJ) HAS OVERFLOWED FUEL FOR YEARS. THE FUEL PUMP CONTINUES TO FLOW UNTIL FUEL HAS OVERFLOWED THE TANK AND FUEL POURS ONTO THE GROUND. CHRYSLER HAS COVERED THIS UNDER WARRANTY FOR OTHER YEAR JEEP WRANGLERS. MY YEAR IS NOT COVERED AND THE REPAIR IS OVER $900.00. I WAS TOLD THIS IS JUST A MALFUNCTION OF A VALVE IN THE FUEL FILLER PIPE. AND IS CAUSED FROM A POOR DESIGN. *TR

SUSPENSION, WHEELS, STEERING
THIS IS SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED; IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 4 TIMES SINCE 11/30/2013. I WAS ACCELERATING, AND WHEN I HIT ABOUT 50MPH, MY LEFT TIRE HIT A SMALL POT HOLE. MY FRONT END BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY; MY STEERING WHEEL WAS LITERALLY BOUNCING IN MY HANDS AND I COULD NOT ACTIVELY CONTROL THE JEEP. THE SHAKING WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR ON A BUSY ROADWAY. I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS JEEP HAS A SHIMMY/WOBBLE THAT OCCURS ON SOME BUMPS. SOME LEAD TO THE "DEATH WOBBLE," AND OTHERS DO NOT. THE SHAKING IS SO INTENSE THAT THE FRONT END FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO COME APART. I HAVE NEW TIRES, AND THE VEHICLE WAS JUST PURCHASED USED FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AFTER HAVING RECEIVED A FULL SERVICE. I TOOK IT INTO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT CONFIRMED THAT EVERYTHING LOOKED OK, AND THE BUSHINGS WERE FINE. *TR

WHEN REFUELING, ONCE THE FUEL TANK IS FULL THE SERVICE STATION FUEL SUPPLY HOSE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF, THEN A SURGE OF FUEL EXPELS FROM THE JEEP FUEL TANK FILL PORT SPLASHING ONTO THE VEHICLE EXTERIOR, ONTO MYSELF, AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP WRANGLER ACROSS MANY YEARS, WITH NO RESOLUTION TO DATE. *TR

EVERY TIME YOU FUEL THE VEHICLE, IT OVERFLOWS GAS BADLY AS THE PUMP CUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF THE PUMP OR LOCATION THAT I BUY FUEL FROM. IT DUMPS GAS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ON THE GROUND. SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLS OUT. *TR

SPITS FUEL EVERY TIME I FILL UP, NO MATTER WHERE OR HOW SLOWLY I FILL IT. 3-5 OUNCES OF FUEL SPIT BACK OUT EVERY FILL UP, ON FIRST AUTO SHUT OFF OCCASIONALLY FUEL IS EXPELLED FORCEFULLY ENOUGH TO SPLASH ON OBJECTS18-24 INCHES AWAY. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHES OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL (LIKE IT DOES WITH ANY OTHER CAR), HOWEVER WITH THE JEEP GASOLINE IMMEDIATELY GUSHES OUT OF THE FILLER HOLE. I'D ESTIMATE THAT AT LEAST A PINT TO A QUART OF FUEL SPILLS (AND SOMETIMES SPRAYS) OUT. IF SOMEONE IS STANDING NEAR-BY THEY WILL GET SOAKED WITH GASOLINE. THIS DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN, BUT SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. NOT ONLY IS THIS AN INCONVENIENCE, IT'S AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD AND A FIRE RISK. WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE'S PANT-LEG GETS SOAKED IN GASOLINE (AS HAS HAPPENED TO ME) AND THEN THEY PICK-UP A MILD STATIC CHARGE WHEN ENTERING/ EXITING THE VEHICLE (WHICH IS NOT UNCOMMON). SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. I CANNOT LET ANYONE PUT GAS IN THE JEEP (LIKE MY WIFE). ANYONE WHO IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS 'QUIRK' WILL LIKELY GET SOAKED WITH FUEL AT SOME POINT WHEN FILLING UP THE JEEP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE FILLING THE VEHICLE THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AND THEN FUEL COMES POURING OUT OF THE FUEL FILL ON THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH JEEP AND THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE DUE TO THE FUEL SPILLING ON THE GROUND AND POSSIBLY EXPLODING. *TR

SUSPENSION, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STEERING, WHEELS
DEATH WOBBLE!!!! STARTED ABOUT DEC 2011 AROUND SPEEDS OF 55-60 MPH. CAR WILL SUDDENLY START TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. WHEN VIEWING FROM BEHIND IN ANOTHER CAR IT APPEARS AS IF THE WHEELS MAY COME OFF. I HAVE REPLACED THE SHOCKS, STRUTS, STABILIZER BAR, TRACK BAR, SPRINGS, SPACERS, CALIPERS, HUBS, NEW TIRES, BALANCE AND ROTATE TIRE EVERY 5000-6000 MILES, NEW FRONT BRAKES, NEW BACK BRAKES, TWO REAR ALIGNMENTS, 3 FRONT ALIGNMENTS, AND ROTORS, I DEATH WOBBLE HAS GONE FROM BAD TO DANGEROUSLY WORSE. MY WRANGLER IS A FACTORY RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEP THAT I USE TO DELIVER MAIL. I WAS USING AS MY PRIMARY CAR AS WELL. I MUST DRIVE 25 MILES TO WORK VIA INTERSTATE AND THEN ANOTHER 65 MILES ON MY ROUTE. THE CAR CONSISTENTLY SHAKES WHEN I HIT SPEEDS OF 45 MPH OR HIGHER. A BUMP IN THE ROAD WILL TRIGGER THE WOBBLE AS WELL. I SPOKE TO TWO DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERSHIPS TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TO AT LEAST 6 DIFFERENT MECHANIC SHOPS, ONE OFF ROAD SHOP, AND TWO DIFFERENT ALIGNMENT SHOPS. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD TRY REPLACING THE GEAR BOX ($899.99) AND ALSO TRY REPLACING MY RIMS! IF THE MAKER OF MY VEHICLE HAS NO IDEA ON WHAT OR HOW TO FIX IT........THEN WHO WILL? I WOULD LIKE TO RESOLVE MY DEATH WOBBLE. I AM EXTREMELY ANNOYED! I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR TO AND FROM WORK AND WHEN IT RAINS I AM A NERVOUS WRECK JUST KNOWING I WILL HAVE TO DRIVE MY JEEP ON THE INTERSTATE. SADLY ITS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT I WILL NOT ALLOW ANY OF MY KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE. I END UP HAVING TO LEAVE MY JEEP AT WORK IN ANOTHER TOWN IF MY HUSBAND ISN'T ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO AND FROM WORK FOR ME. I AM WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.......IF JEEP WOULD JUST LET ME KNOW WHAT THAT IS!!!! IN GOOD CONSCIOUS I COULD NEVER SELL AND STICK SOMEONE ELSE WITH THIS PROBLEM/HEADACHE!! ALSO, WHEN I FILL MY JEEP UP WITH GAS, IT OVERFLOWS SPLASHING GAS EVERYWHERE! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAD MY FUEL TANK REPLACED BY JEEP A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS AGO FOR THE "ROLL OVER VALVE" PROBLEM - FAULTY FUEL TANK DESIGN THAT JEEP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ITS A COMMON PROBLEM. AS WELL AS A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD -- EVERY TIME THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF, FUEL VIOLENTLY SHOOTS ALL OVER THE PAINT, GROUND, AND MY PERSON. THE REPLACEMENT TANK HAS STARTED DOING THIS AGAIN AFTER MAYBE 20,000 MILES! JEEP REPLACED A FAULTY, HAZARDOUS PART WITH ANOTHER. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE THAT EVERY TIME I GO TO THE GAS STATION I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FUEL SHOOTING ALL OVER THE PLACE, ITS EMBARRASSING AS WELL. I MADE AN NHTSA COMPLAINT THE FIRST TIME BUT I AM MAKING ANOTHER SINCE THE REPLACEMENT PART IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING! *TR
