FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS JUST STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE WHERE THE GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILL NECK BEFORE THE PUMP HANDLE CLICKS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED THE LAST 3 TIMES I HAVE FILLED UP. THIS IS AT A STATION WHERE I HAVE FILLED UP MANY TIMES WITHOUT INCIDENT. NOT ONLY DOES THIS GET GAS ON MY VEHICLE AND PERSON, THIS SPILLS GAS ALL OVER THE PUMP HANDLE AND GROUND AT THE STATION. THIS IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE TO MYSELF, DAMAGING TO MY VEHICLES PAINT, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY DANGEROUS. I HAVE READ OF A LARGE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WITH THIS ISSUE ON THEIR JEEP VEHICLES. I WOULD EXPECT JEEP WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS ISSUE DUE TO THE DANGEROUS, WASTEFUL, AND SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE CONDITION. FOR ME PERSONALLY, I DON'T EXPECT THAT WITH 46K MILES ON MY JEEP THAT THIS SHOULD HAPPEN, AND BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER TO FIX. I HOPE THAT THERE CAN BE SOME ACTION TAKEN TO HOLD JEEP RESPONSIBLE, AND REMEDY THIS (COMMON) ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

WHEN FUELING AT GAS STATION THE FUEL DOES NOT CUT OFF AND FUEL SPILLS BACK OUT OF THE VEHICLE ONTO THE PERSON FUELING AND/OR THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THERE IS NO WARNING AND THE PUMP DOES NOT CUT OFF. *TR

FUEL SPRAY FROM FILLING VEHICLE UP. DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS ALL PRODUCE THE SAME RESULT. IF I SET THE AUTO FILL ON THE PUMP OR IF I HOLD THE PUMP HANDLE, FUEL WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILL NECK AND ONTO THE VEHICLE, GROUND OR MYSELF. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK. THE VALVE IN THE TANK IS STUCK. SO IT WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF THE PUMP CAUSING ME TO NOT KNOW IF IT IS FULL OR NOT. SINCE THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW WHEN IT IS FULL IT SPILLS OUT IF THE TANK AND ALL OVER ME THE BODY OF MY CAR AND GROUND. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN COMPLAINT WITH ALL WRANGLERS IN THIS MODEL. PLEASE HELP FIX THIS. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED ON MANY OCCASIONS, SOMETHING CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE." WHEN DRIVING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 40MPH & 65MPH, IF I HIT A POT-HOLE (ESPECIALLY ON A CURVE), THE FRONT-END OF MY JEEP STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT WHERE I HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. IN A FEW INSTANCES, I WAS ON A HIGHWAY THAT DID NOT HAVE A SHOULDER AND I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WHO ALSO DRIVE JEEP WRANGLERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE MADE FROM 2005-2008. WHEN I ORIGINALLY COMPLAINED TO JEEP/CHRYSLER, I WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY INSISTED I JUST NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT AND NEW TIRES. THIS ONLY MASKED THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. BY THE TIME I WENT BACK TO JEEP, I WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THEREFORE, COULD NOT FILE A COMPLAINT UNDER THE LEMON LAW. THIS HAS GIVEN ME ANXIETY TO THE POINT WHERE I NOW HAVE AN ULCER FROM HAVING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK 25 MILES EACH WAY. PLEASE HELP, BEFORE I OR OTHERS DIE FROM THIS ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE BYPASS NEAR MY HOME AND EXPERIENCED "THE DEATH WOBBLE" BETWEEN 50-55 I THOUGHT THE FRONT END WAS FALLING OUT SO I SLOWED DOWN AND GOT TO THE SISE OF THE ROAD AND BEGAN CHECKING OUT THE VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. MY JEEP IS AT THE DEALERS AS I WRITE THIS GETTING CHECKED OUT. I THINK JEEP SHOULD PUT A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. *TT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN IT NEARS FULL SPLASHING EVERYTHING WITHIN A FOOT OF THE CAR INCLUDING AT TIMES MYSELF. THIS HAPPENS EACH AND EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL UP. I ALWAYS HAVE TO TRY TO STOP THE PUMP BEFORE IT'S FULL. IF I SO CHOOSE TO TRY TO FILL THE TANK I HAVE TO TRY TO LISTEN TO DETERMINE WHEN THE GAS MIGHT SPEW BACK OUT ON ME AND LET ME TELL YOU THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT A FOOL PROOF METHOD AS I'VE BEEN SPRAYED WITH GAS NUMEROUS TIMES TRYING THIS METHOD. IF I TRY TO FILL THE TANK AND STAND AWAY FROM THE TANK SO AS TO MISS THE SPRAY THEN GAS SPEWS EVERYWHERE; ON THE GROUND, BACK ON THE GAS PUMP ITSELF, AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR; WHICH BY THE WAY DAMAGES THE PAINT. THIS IS A HUGE DANGER NOT ONLY TO MYSELF BUT TO OTHERS AS WELL. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER OFFERED A RECALL ON OTHER YEARS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT ON THIS MODEL YEAR. THEY'VE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE IN THEIR JEEPS SO WHY NOT OFFER A RECALL ON ALL YEARS WITH THIS PROBLEM? I'M SORELY DISAPPOINTED THAT CHRYSLER CARES SO LITTLE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY AND EVEN THE SAFETY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC SINCE THEY COULD BE AFFECTED BY THE SPEWING GAS AS WELL. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. *TT

I DO NOT RECALL EXACTLY WHEN THIS ISSUE BEGAN. BUT MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED SPILLS FUEL EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK. THE GAS DOES NOT SHUT OFF WHEN FULL AND OVER A CUP OF FUEL SPILLS OUT. THE DEALER SHIP CLAIMS THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM ON JEEPS OLDER THAN 2007. *TT

I HAVE HAD THIS JEEP IN TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS ONLY 2 AND A HALF YEARS OLD. THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT IN WAS APPROX 4 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK BRAND NEW. THEY HAVE YET TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN YOU DRIVE APPROX. 55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, AND POSSIBLY HIT A LITTLE BUMP, THE CAR WILL SHAKE UNCONTROLABLY. YOU CANNOT HIT THE BREAK OR IT GETS WORSE BUT SOMETIMES YOUR FORCED TO BECAUSE YOU WILL CRASH OTHERWISE. THE WHOLE FRONT END WOBBLES TO A POINT WHERE YOU LOOSE ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALSHIP STATED THE FIRST TIME AFTER IT HAPPENED THAT THEY FIXED IT... THE OTHER TWO TIMES THEY SAID THE SAME THING . THE FOURTH TIME THEY DECIDED TO SAY IT WAS MY TIRES. ( I DONT KNOW WHY THEY ALL OF A SUDDEN CHANGED THE PROBLEM). ROTATING THE TIRES FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS UNTIL I HAD TO BRING IT IN AGAIN AND THEY NOW STATE THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. BUT APPARANTLY THERE IS. VERY FED UP WITH THE WHOLE SITUATION. AND VERY NERVOUS DRIVING THE TRUCK. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 70 MPH WHEN HE DROVE OVER A ROAD BUMP AND THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN IT WOULD SHAKE OR WOBBLE. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

MY 2004 WRANGLER RUBICON HAS A VIOLENT WOBBLE/SHAKE AT 55-60 MPH. THE WOBBLE IS SO VIOLENT I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY BRAKE AND IT STOPS AROUND 40. I HAVE HAD IT ALIGNED AND BALANCED. I WAS CONSIDERING POURING MORE INTO THE REPAIR BUT AFTER READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I FELL IT IS NOT WORTH THE EFFORT. THE JEEP IS STOCK AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I AM GOING TO APPROACH THE DEALER BUT SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY I HAVE THE FEELING IT IS GOING TO BE IN VAIN. *TR

EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN THE CAR, FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILLER HOLE ALL OVER THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN FILLING GAS TANKS FOR 40 YEARS AND I KNOW ALL THE TRICKS. I DO NOT TOP OFF AND AM CAREFUL TO REDUCE FLOW WHEN I THINK IT IS NEAR THE TOP. DOESN'T MATTER. IT SPILLS OUT ANYWAY. AT EVERY GAS STATION. *TR
