FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
INCIDENT MILEAGE ON MY REPORT IS DUE TO BUYING THE VEHICLE USED, BUT HAS MOST LIKELY OCCURRED SINCE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. DUE TO AN BAD CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK, OVERFILLING OCCURS AT ALMOST EVERY FILL-UP, CREATING BOTH ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS AND POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
2005 JEEP WRANGLER. WELL MAINTAINED. HIGHEST QUALITY OIL, SPARK PLUGS, AIR FILTERS, COOLING SYSTEM. CAMSHAFT FAILURE AT ROUGHLY 50,000 MILES. EXCESSIVE WEAR CAUSING KNOCKING. DIAGNOSIS FROM CHRYSLER: NEW ENGINE REQUIRED. NO OVERHEATING, NO ABUSE. THE OIL PUMP DRIVE ASSEMBLY GEARS ARE WORN DOWN SO OIL IS NOT FLOWING PROPERLY. THIS IS A POSSIBLE CAUSE FOR THE CAMSHAFT FAILURE. THE OTHER POSSIBLE CAUSE FOR THE CAMSHAFT FAILURE IS THAT IT IS A FLAT TAPPET CAMSHAFT FROM THE FACTORY. THIS SPECIFIC TYPE OF CAMSHAFT NEEDS THE ZDDP OIL ADDITIVE. MODERN OIL DOES NOT CONTAIN ZDDP BECAUSE IT CAUSES CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. WITHOUT ZDDP EXCESSIVE WEAR OCCURS. THIS IS COVERED IN SAE BULLETIN # 770087. SAE IS THE SOCIETY OF AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERS. ONCE WEAR REACHES A CERTAIN LEVEL FURTHER WEAR IS RAPID AND CAUSES CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE.FURTHERMORE, MY JEEP IS STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. HOWEVER, MY WARRANTY HAS BEEN UNLAWFULLY DENIED BECAUSE I HAVE SOME UNRELATED AFTERMARKET PARTS ON MY JEEP. LITIGATION IS PENDING ON THIS ISSUE. CHRYSLER HAS GONE AGAINST THEIR OWN WRITTEN WARRANTY, AND WELL AS FEDERAL LAW (MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY ACT). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY VEHICLE THE NOZZLE DOESN'T KICK OFF, GAS POURS OUT THE FILLER NECK, GAS IS EXPENSIVE THESE DAYS TO JUST POUR IT ON THE GROUND AND BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, I TRY TO NOT LET IT HAPPEN BUT STILL IT DOES, I FEEL THAT JEEP SHOULD BRING OUT A RECALL ON THIS. I CANT FILL MY VEHICLE UP ALL THE WAY AS I LIKE TO BE ABLE TO. THE FENDER FLARE IS DISCOLORED BECAUSE OF THE GAS SPILLING OUT ON TO IT AND THEN I HAVE TO GO AND GET THE GAS OFF MY HANDS AND SHOES WHEN I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. I KNOW THERE ARE MORE PROBLEMS OTHER THAN MINE AS YOU CAN GO TO HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F176/HAVE-FUEL-SPILL-PROBLEMS-LIKE-MANY-US-SUBMIT-COMPLAINT-FORCE-RECALL-974337/ AND SEE MANY ON THERE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM ASWELL AND HAVE VIDEOS OF THIS HAPPENING. IM JUST AFRAID THAT STATIC ELECTRICITY MY SPARK ON IT AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENS AND CAUSES A BIG MESS. PLEASE HELP ME AND OTHERS MAKE JEEP SEND OUT A RECALL ON THIS. MY VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOCK NO MODIFICATIONS HAS BEEN DONE TO IT TO ALTER THE WAY GAS GOES INTO THE TANK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND I AM SICK AND DANG TIRED OF GETTING FUEL ALL OVER MY HANDS, FACE AND CLOTHING! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE ACCELERATOR (GAS PEDAL) INITIALLY FELT AS THOUGH IT WERE STUCK, AS IF THERE WAS A BLOCK UNDER IT, WHEN DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. THEN SUDDENLY THERE WAS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WITH THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AT FULL THROTTLE. ONLY AFTER THE VEHICLE HIT 2 PARKED CARS DID THE VEHICLE COME TO A STOP.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING VEHICLE GAS SPLASHES OUT OF FUEL FILLER INTAKE. THIS HAPPENS ON JUST ABOUT EVERY FILL UP. IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IF YOU FILL UP SLOWLY OR AT NORMAL FILL SPEED. GASOLINE SPILLING ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND SPILLING ONTO THE GROUND CAN'T BE A SAFE THING.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED THE TANK WILL OVERFLOW. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I LET THE AUTO STOP CLICK TO STOP THE GAS OR IF I SLOW DOWN WHEN I KNOW IT IS GETTING FULL, THE GAS WILL OVERFLOW AND LEAK EVERYWHERE. IT'S A DECENT SIZE PUDDLE TOO, NOT JUST A COUPLE DRIPS. *TR

STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 50 MPH WHEN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING EXTREMELY VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS SO EXTREME THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD VENTURE OFF THE ROADWAY WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER, I GET A BACK SPLASH OF GAS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. I'VE TAKEN THE PRECAUTION OF SLOWING THE PUMP DOWN WHEN CLOSE TO FULL, BUT STILL SPILL GAS. WHEN I SPOKE TO CHRYSLER ABOUT ANOTHER ISSUE, I MENTIONED THE OVERFLOW ISSUE. I WAS TOLD TO HAVE THE "FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE" LOOKED AT THE NEXT TIME I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR
