FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I BOUGHT MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON MARCH 1ST, 2010. I BOUGHT IT USED. EVERY TIME I HAVE FILLED THE TANK AT A GAS STATION, IT OVERFLOWS. THE ONLY FIX IS TO NOT FILL IT UP, BUT I LIVE IN NEW JERSEY, AND GAS STATION ATTENDANTS PUMP OUR GAS AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO NOT DO IT. *TR

STEERING
2005 JEEP WRANGLER EXPERIENCES HIGH SPEED WOBBLE EVERY DAY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP VEHICLES. INTERNET USERS REFER TO THE CONDITION AS "DEATH WOBBLE." I WOULD NOT WANT THAT NAME ASSOCIATED WITH ANY OF MY PRODUCTS. I GOT RID OF A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT DID THE SAME THING. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT THE BRAKES MUST BE APPLIED AT HIGH SPEED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR VEHICLES FOLLOWING AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT LET MY WIFE OR KIDS DRIVE THIS CAR. I DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONE WHO CONFIRMS THE DEATH WOBBLE MONIKER. THE FAILURE OCCURS DAILY. I HAVE BALANCED THE TIRES REPEATEDLY AND ROTATED AND CROSS ROTATED TIRES. EVEN BROKEN DOWN TIRES AND ROTATED THEM ON RIMS TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL BALANCE. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER JEEP PRODUCT. THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY JEEP WRANGLER SPILLS GAS FROM THE FILL PIPE EVERYTIME IT IS FILLED UP. IM NOT TOPPING IT OFF. IT DOES THIS EVERYTIME FROM THE FIRST SHUTOFF. ITS NOT THE NOZZLE AS THIS HAPPENS AT ALL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I FOUND ON JEEP FORUM THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL WRANGLERS. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY CONCERN AS A FIRE COULD HAPPEN OR SKIN IRRITATION CAN OCCUR AS SOMETIMES I GET SPLASHED WITH FUEL. *TR

2005 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED. NO EXCESSIVE WEAR OR TEAR. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SPLASHING GAS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS TOPPED OFF FOR OVER A YEAR. THIS CAUSES ANYWHERE FROM A HALF PINT TO A QUART OF GAS TO SPRAY AND RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. AS FAR AS I KNOW JEEP HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL TO FIX WHAT I SEE AS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I BOUGHT MY 2005 JEEP BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT. WITHIN A YEAR I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I HAD BEEN A VERY MODERATE DRIVER, AND HAD LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK THE JEEP TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE STABILIZER ARM, WHICH THE WARRANTY COVERED, BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINED. THE DEALER THEN ROTATED AND BALANCED MY TIRES AND ADJUSTED MY ALIGNMENT. THEY CHARGED ME OVER $200 FOR THAT. THIS SEEMED TO MASK THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A YEAR, THEN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" RETURNED. I TOOK THE JEEP TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS PROMPTLY SOLD 2 NEW TIRES (STOCK UNIROYAL TIGER PAWS @ $104 EACH) AND A STEERING DAMPENER. TOTAL COST THIS TIME WAS WELL OVER $500. THIS TOOK CARE OF THE WOBBLE FOR ABOUT A YEAR. NOW THE WOBBLE IS BACK, AND I'M WONDERING WHAT TO DO. I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER DEALER TO FLEECE ME AGAIN, AND I HEAR JEEP ISN'T ACKNOWLEDGING THIS WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. IN THE MEANTIME THOUGH, I LOVE MY JEEP AND WANT IT FIXED. I DON'T WANT IT TO KILL ME OR ANYONE ELSE. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM? I CAN'T AFFORD $200-$500 EVERY YEAR ON BAND-AID SOLUTIONS. *TR

A VALVE INSIDE THE FUEL TANK IS FAULTY LEADING TO FUEL SPILLAGE AFTER THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKS OFF DUE TO PRESSURE BUILDUP. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR, AND COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND IT SEEMS JEEP DOES NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AS FUEL SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THIS IS ALSO AN EMISSIONS ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, IT OVERFLOWS AFTER THE NOZZLE CLICKS CLOSED. THE ONLY WAY I'VE FOUND TO PREVENT THIS IS TO 'GUESS' WHEN THE TANK IS ALMOST FULL, THEN PUT MY EAR TO THE OPENING AND LISTEN FOR FUEL COMING TO THE TOP. THAT'S DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE UNNECESSARY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. *TR

MY FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I FILL UP, SPILLING GASOLINE ALL OVER MY JEEP, GAS CAP, AND GROUND. CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF STANDING BY GAS TANK WHILE FILLING UP. WHAT IF A SMALL KID WALKS UP TO MY CAR WHEN IT SPILLS OUT? I SEE 86+ COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE! IT'S BEEN HAPPENING TO ME FOR WELL OVER 3 YEARS. *TR

EVERY TIME I REFUEL MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPITS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER ONTO THE GROUND. IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE CHECK VALVE BUILT INTO THE FUEL TANK. THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. *TR
