FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT HAS A FUEL TANK OVERFLOW ISSUE. WHEN FILLING THE TANK UP IT INEVITABLY OVERFLOWS REGARDLESS OF WHAT STATION, EXISTING FUEL LEVEL OR TYPE OF FILLER NOZZLE. IT IS ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS ISSUE IS RATHER WIDESPREAD. I INITIALLY BELIEVED THAT SOMETHING HAD SIMPLY BROKEN, BUT AFTER A BIT OF RESEARCH I AM NOT ALONE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

ON 4/5/2010 I PURCHASED A USED 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. I DROVE IT FROM IL TO PA. DURING THAT DRIVE I NEEDED TO GET GAS 3 TIMES. EACH TIME I FILLED THE GAS THE TANK OVERFILLED AND FUEL WAS SPILLED. I WENT ONLINE TODAY TO CHECK ON THIS ISSUE AND FOUND MANY OTHERS SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, NO MATTER HOW SLOW I DO IT, THERE IS AN OVERFLOW AND IN A COUPLE CASES A FORCIBLE SPLASH. IT WAS SO FORCIBLE THIS WEEKEND THAT MY PANTS AND SHOES WERE SOAKED. I HAVE READ ON A JEEP FORUM THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A NUMBER OF OWNERS OF THE JEEP WRANGLERS. THERE ARE EVEN A NUMBER OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS DOCUMENTING THE SITUATION. AT THE VERY LEAST THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE BUT IT COULD ESCALATE INTO SOMETHING FAR MORE DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS THAT OVERFLOWS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN I FILL MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER WITH FUEL IT SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK BACK TOWARDS THE PUMP BEFORE SHUTTING OFF, EVERY TIME. IT OVERFILLS THE TANK. IT'S DISCOLORING THE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE, IT CAUSES A GAS SPILL ON THE PAVEMENT, AND IT OFTEN GETS FUEL ON MY HAND AND CLOTHES. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE IT HAD 19,000 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS 42,000, AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. A COUPLE THOUSAND MILES AGO I INSTALLED A 1" BODY LIFT AS I HAD HEARD THAT SOMETIMES FIXES THE PROBLEM, AND THE ISSUE CONTINUES THE SAME AS BEFORE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON AND WELL TALKED ABOUT COMPLAINT IN THE JEEP COMMUNITY, AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. FOR INCIDENT DATE I'M JUST GOING TO SELECT TODAY, AS THAT'S THE MOST RECENT TIME IT'S HAPPENED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH 56,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN APRIL OF 2007. THE PROBLEM IS OVERFLOWING GAS WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED. ONCE THE TANK IS FILLED COMPLETELY, THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AND THE FUEL TANK THEN "BURPS" ABOUT 1 PINT OF FUEL OUT. AT TIMES, THE FUEL COMES OUT VIGOROUSLY IN A SPRAY MAKING IT EVEN MORE FLAMMABLE AND COVERING ME AND THE VEHICLE. I HAVE GONE TO MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SINCE AND HAVE THE PROBLEM EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. THE PROBLEM ALSO OCCURS WHEN I HOLD THE PUMP AND TRY TO LIMIT THE FUEL FLOW. PER THE DEALERSHIP'S RECOMMENDATION, I HAVE REPLACED THE VEHICLE'S EVAPORATION CANISTER, BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE WHEN I AM FILLING IT UP. OFTEN, GAS WILL COME UP THE FILL TUBE AND OUT ONTO MY JEEP, THE PUMP HANDLE, THE GROUND - AND USUALLY- MY HANDS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM FILLING IT UP AND AT A FAST OR SLOW PACE, GAS WILL STILL COME UP THE FILL TUBE. THE GAS EITHER CASCADES OUT OR SHOOTS OUT (DEPENDING ON THE SPEED THE PUMP IS GOING.) THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, DESPITE THE RECENT INCIDENT DATE I ENTERED BELOW. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR. I RECENTLY NOTICED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" OCCASIONALLY AT AROUND 40 MPH. WHILE DRIVING MY YOUNG SON, ALL WAS FINE AND SMOOTH AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE FRONT END STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND BANGING AROUND. IT STEERED ITSELF OFF THE ROAD, LUCKILY INTO A PARKING LOT, BUT I WAS STILL GOING ABOUT 35 MPH. I HAD TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO GET IT STOPPED BEFORE SLAMMING INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION OF THE FRONT END, I FOUND THAT MY FRONT TRAC BAR BRACKET WELDS HAD BROKEN FROM THE FRONT AXLE. HAD I BEEN IN A CURVE, THE FRONT AXLE WOULD HAVE SLID OUT FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE! THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC AND WOULD HAVE TOTALED THE JEEP AND MOST LIKELY CAUSED SERIOUS INJURIES. I HAVE SINCE SPOKEN TO A COUPLE OF BUDDIES THAT HAVE THE SAME MODEL WRANGLERS. THEY BOTH HAD THE SAME ISSUE! I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND IT MUST HAVE BEEN A FREAK DEAL. THIS IS THE SAME RESPONSE MY BUDDIES GOT FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, I WAS FILLING UP MY 2007 4 DOOR JEEP WRANGLER WITH GAS. THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE SHUT OFF GAS COME POURING OUT OF THE JEEP. IT SPLASHED ALL OVER ME AND PUDDLED ON THE GROUND. I THOUGHT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE GAS PUMP AND COMPLAINED TO THE STATION ATTENDANT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT THE NEXT FILL UP AND HAS AT EVERY FILL UP SINCE IF I DON'T CATCH IT FIRST. IT'S NOT THE GAS PUMP BECAUSE I'VE USED SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THE GAS FROM SPURTING OUT OF THE JEEP IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY FULL. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DISTRESSING AND CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH GAS PUDDLING ON THE GROUND AND SPLASHING ON ME AND THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK INTO THE DEFECT, HE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS. APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH A FLAP INSIDE THE GAS TANK THAT BECOMES DEFECTIVE AND ALLOWS THE AIR INSIDE THE TANK TO PUSH GAS OUT THE NECK UPON FILLING THE TANK. MY MECHANIC IS CURRENTLY GETTING READY TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. *TR
