JEEP HAS SEVERE DEATH WOBBLE WHEN TRAVELING @60 MPH. FRONT WHEELS WILL START TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY AT THIS SPEED AND SEEMS TO START WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR IMPERFECTION IN ROAD SURFACE. REQUIRED ACTION IS TO APPLY BRAKES UNTIL SHAKING STOPS WHICH COULD INVOLVE A DECREASE IN SPEED OF 15 MPH OR MORE CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED AT THREE SHOPS WITH NO WORN COMPONENTS FOUND. HAD AN ALIGNMENT PERFORMED TIRES BALANCED TRACK BAR MOUNT REPLACED CONTROL ARM MOUNT REINFORCED REPLACED STEERING STABILIZER REPLACED TIE ROD END REPLACED SWAY BAR LINKS AND STILL PROBLEM IS NO BETTER. JEEP ONLY HAS 49,000 MILES SO NOTHING IS REALLY WORN TOO BAD. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ROUGHLY 10,000 MILES AGO AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT OTHER THAN REPLACING EVERY STEERING AND SUSPENSION COMPONENT AT A COST OF PROBABLY A COST OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE COIL SPRUNG JEEPS WITH A TRACK BAR WHICH SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. JUST WANT TO ADD THE VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE FACT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE WOBBLE WILL START AND IF YOU ARE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO REGAIN CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE IT COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. CHRYSLER/JEEP NEEDS TO REMEDY THIS ENGINEERING FLAW NOT EXPECT CONSUMERS TO FOOT THE BILL.
2005 Jeep Wrangler complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2005 record →
WHEN HAVING TO FILL UP ON GAS IT IS OVERFLOWING. EVEN IF YOU SET THE CONTROL ON THE PUMP, WHEN YOU PULL OUT THE NOZZLE, GAS IS SPILLING ALL OVER THE JEEP, FLOOR AND HAS EVEN HAS SPILLED ALL OVER MYSELF. THIS FULL TANK NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL CONSUMERS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL FRACTURED AND THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO A CULVERT. THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER AND LANDED ON ITS ROOF IN A DITCH. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED FATAL INJURIES TO THE HEAD. THE PASSENGER WAS ALSO FATALLY INJURED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. ...UPDATED 10/19/16 *BF .. ..UPDATED 03/31/17 *BF ...UPDATED 04/11/17 *BF UPDATED 08/08/2017*JS UPDATED 09/19/2017*JS *TR
AS THE FUEL TANK IS BEING FILLED WITH FUEL AND THE FUEL PUMP CUTS OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, THE TANK ALLOWS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL TO BE "BURPED" OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER ONTO THE VEHICLE, GROUND, AND THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED AT EVERY FUEL DEPOT.
'DEATH WOBBLE" THE JEEP SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY BETWEEN 50 AND 55 MPH MAKING SPEED AND STEERING VERY HARD TO CONTROL. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT CAUSES IT. BEEN TO MANY JEEP MECHANICS.
WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, FUEL COMES OUT WITHOUT WARNING AND SPILLS ALL OVER THE GROUND AND THE VEHICLE. WHEN ADJACENT TO A HOT BRAKE CALIPER, THIS COULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. ABOUT A PINT OF FUEL IS SPILLED WITH EVERY FILL-UP. IF THE OPERATOR TRIES TO LISTEN FOR THE FUEL TO COME UP THE FILLER TO STOP, THERE IS A SPLASH AND EYE HAZARD.
WAS CROSSING A BUSY 4-LANE ST RT WHEN THE THROTTLE CABLE CAME APART AND PROPULSION WAS LOST. NEARLY GOT T-BONED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. A MULTI-CAR PILEUP WAS NARROWLY AVERTED. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 85,000 MILES. THROTTLE CABLE FRAYED JUST INSIDE THE FIREWALL IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. IT HAS NO HISTORY OF ACCIDENTS OR REPAIRS ON THIS ASSEMBLY. NO WARNING. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, PERPENDICULAR TO TRAFFIC.
ALSO FUEL TANK OVERFLOW SHUTOFF VALVE DOES NOT WORK. WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK, FUEL OVERFLOWS ON CAR AND PERSON PUMPING GAS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED. MULTIPLE YEARS OF JEEP WRANGLERS WERE RECALLED, INCLUDING MANY 05'S FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM.
VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR. THIS STARTED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN TOWN AND NOW ONLY RUNS IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. DIAGNOSTIC CODE P0765 (SHIFT SOLENOID D) IS THE ONLY CODE SHOWING. OTHER (03-05) JEEPS WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE PUMPING FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE, FUEL SPEWED OUT. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROLLOVER CHECK VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.
WHEN FILLING FUEL WILL NOT SHUT OFF CAUSING FUEL OVERFLOW, WHICH SHOOTS OUT OF FUEL FILLER HOSE.
WHILE IN MOTION ON A COUNTRY ROAD, COMMING OUT OF SOME TURNS THE FRONT END/STEARING SUDDENLY BEGAN SHAKING HARD RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO CONTROL. THE VEHICLE THEN BEGAN TO SWERVE UNTIL HITTING AN ENBANKMENT AND ROLLING MULTIPLE TIMES.
WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK WITH GAS, THE PUMP DOESN'T SHUT OFF RESULTING IN GAS LEAKING ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE GROUND. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHERS THAT HAVE THIS SAME VEHICLE. IMAGE READ IT IS A FAULTY DESIGN AND FAULTY IVC .
FUEL SPILLS/SPRAYS OUT OF FILLER WHEN REFUELING. PUMP SHUT-OFF DOES NOT ENGAGE CORRECTLY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS REFUELED AND RESULTS IN EXCESS FUEL SPILLAGE ON VEHICLE AND GROUND.
GAS OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING GAS TANK. WHEN AUTO FILL LEVER IS ENGAGED AND TANK IS FULL GAS BURPS AND OVERFLOWS SPILLING ON GROUND
LIKE ALL THE OTHER JEEP WRANGLERS MINE CANNOT FILL UP WITH GAS WITHOUT THE GAS OVERFLOWING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THIS CAUSES POLLUTION, DAMAGES THE FINISH OF THE CAR AS WELL AS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE MAKE THEM RECALL THIS GAS ISSUE AS THE FLAPPER IN THE LINE GETS STUCK OPEN. AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT ALL THE FORUMS SEEM TO SAY. IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE JUST GO TO YOUTUBE --> HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/RESULTS?SEARCH_QUERY=JEEP+WRANGLER+GAS+OVERFLOW OR PUT IN ANY OTHER SIMILAR SEARCH. THE MAJORITY OF THE JEEPS ON THE ROAD HAVE THIS ISSUE.
WHEN REFUELING THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF BEFORE GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FUEL INLET.
WHEN FUELING UP AND THE HAND PUMP CLICKS OFF, GAS CONTINUES TO SHOOT OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. ITS ENOUGH TO LEAVE A SMALL PUDDLE ON THE GROUND NOT TO MENTION ALL OVER THE REAR OF MY JEEP AND IT HAS STAINED MY NEW FENDER FLARE. I UNDERSTAND THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLERS.
WHEN FUELING VEHICLE TANK OVERFLOWS LEAVING GASOLINE ON SIDE OF VEHICLE, ON SELF (HANDS, CLOTHING, SHOES, ETC.). NOT ONLY IS THIS UNECONOMICAL, BUT UNSAFE, UNHEALTHY, AND ENVIRONMENTALLY UNSOUND. I ORIGINALLY BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR IN MAY OF 2010, THE DEALER CLAIMED THE EVAPORATION CANISTER WAS CLOGGED SO THEY REPLACED THE CANISTER AND FILTER FOR ALMOST $300. FOUR MONTHS LATER, IN OCTOBER OF 2010, I WAS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND RETURNED TO THE DEALER. THEY THEN CLAIMED THE ROLL OVER VALVE WAS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION AND I NOW NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK FOR ALMOST $800. I DECLINED AND WAS CHARGED $100 FOR THEIR TROUBLE. I NOW DON'T EVER FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ONLINE IN DIFFERENT FORUMS AND NOW HERE ON THIS WEBSITE. I DO BELIEVE JEEP NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS OBVIOUSLY ONGOING PROBLEM.
WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY STOP FILLING WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, WHICH RESULTS IN GAS SQUIRTING OUT OF THE FILLER. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GET GAS. GETTING GAS ON MYSELF, MY CLOTHES, MY SHOES AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON MY TO DO LIST. JEEP/CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL OR NOTICE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS A FIRE HAZARD AND IS NOT SAFE FOR WHOMEVER IS PUMPING GAS.
WHEN FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK THE BACK FLOW PREVENTER DOES NOT WORK AND UP TO A CUP OF GASOLINE WILL SPILL OUT OF THE NOZZLE LEAVING A FLAMMABLE MESS THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED.
EVERYTIME, WHILE FILLING MY TANK FUEL WILL SPILL OUT AS THE AUTO SHUT OFF ENGAGES ON THE PUMP. FUEL WILL SPILL OUT ONTO THE GROUND, MY CLOTHES, MY HANDS AND THE SIDE OF MY JEEP. I AM NOT ATTEMPTING TO TOP OFF MY TANK WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURS, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK HOWEVER I HOLD THE HANDLE WHEN THE AUTO SHUT OFF ENGAGES.
REGARDING MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS OR MORE. FUEL SYSTEM/TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK. INSTEAD OF STOPPING, GAS SPEWS FROM THE FILL VALVE ONTO THE VEHICLE, GROUND, AND PERSON FILLING THE TANK. THIS IS NOT ONLY UNSAFE AND UNECONOMICAL, BUT BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND ONES HEALTH.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, SMOKE EMITTED FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN THE FRONT END AND UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE IGNITED INTO FLAMES. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE SAFELY AND NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED ONTO THE GROUND. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES AND INFORMED THE FIRE ORIGINATED WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.
SO WAS DRIVING MY JEEP WHEN I STOPED LOST ALL OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO 0 PRESSURE WHEN ACCERLERATED OIL PRESSURE WENT BACK BUT CONTINUES TO DROP TO 0 WHEN STOPPED I HAVE REPLACE THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH WITH NO CHANGE .I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MOST 2005 HEEP WRANGLERS SO MY QUESTION IS IS WHEN IS ENOUGH /ENOUGH WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO RECALL AND DO THE RIGHT THING?
UNLESS I STOP FUELING PRIOR TO A COMPLETE FILL UP, GAS WILL SPILL OUT. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO A COUPLE DIFFERENT JEEP SERVICE ADVISORS AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIPS THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF WHAT IS CAUSING IT. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER.
MY JEEP STARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE WHEN DRIVING. THE MORE GAS I GAVE IT THE LOUDER IT GOT AND NOW IT IS UN DRIVABLE DUE TO A DISTRIBUTOR OIL PUMP. BIGGEST PROBLEM IS ALL THE JEEP PARTS PEOPLE HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE PART IT WAS AND NOW THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY IN THE SYSTEM NOR CAN THEY TELL ME WHEN THEY CAN HAVE ME ONE. THERE IS A LOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS, STAND UP AND DO RIGHT FOR US JEEPERS!
FUEL DUMPS OUT OF FILLER HOSE WHEN CLOSE TO FILLED UP, HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I FIRST FILLED ,NOW ALMOST 5 YEARS HAVE STILL SEEN NO SOLUTION UNLESS I HAVE DO MYSELF. *TR
WHEN FUELING VEHICLE, FUEL WILL SPLASH OUT OF THE FILL TUBE BEFORE FILLER NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FUEL AND AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I ESTIMATE MY TOTAL FUEL SPILLED OVER THE PAST DECADE TO BE IN THE AREA OF 300 GALLONS. *TR
EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, IT OVER FLOW SPRAYING GAS OUT CREATING A SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL HAZARD. *TR
THE DEATH WOBBLE AT APPROX 60-65 MPH/ REPAIRED STEERING STABILIZER/FRONT AXEL JOINT/ RIGHT OUTER PITMAN ADJUSTMENT SLEEVE/ LEFT HAND STEERING ARM TO CONNECTING TIE ROD/ LEFT INNER TO LH ADJUSTMENT SLEEVE/ ALIGNMENT, REPAIRS COST $675, HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND STILL SHIMMIES. *TR
THE GAS TANK WILL OVERFLOW WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND DRIVING OVER A BUMP, THE FRONT TWO WHEELS STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SWAY BAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.
VIOLENT FRONT END VIBRATION / WOBBLING KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE". *TR
AT ANY REFUELING, BEFORE THE FUEL PUMP AUTO SHUT OFF IS ENGAGED, THERE IS FUEL SPIT BACK OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER. IT RUNS DOWN THE CORNER PANEL AND BEHIND THE LEFT REAR FENDER FLARE, AS WELL AS ONTO THE GROUND. DEPENDING ON WHAT SETTING YOU HAVE THE PUMP HANDLE SET TO (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW), DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH FUEL IS SPAT BACK OUT. *TR
WHEN FILLING UP, EVEN ON THE LOWEST SETTING, THE AUTO SHUT-OFF DOESN'T OCCUR AND GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT. *JS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WOULD SPILL FROM THE TANK EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS RE-FUELED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.
FUEL FILLER SHUT OF FLAP DOES NOT SHUT OFF FUEL FILLER RESULTING IN GAS SPILLING OUT OF VEHICAL ON TO THE GROUND. *TR
SINCE PURCHASE IN NOVEMBER, THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS SHOT FUEL OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER WHEN IT REACHES A FULL TANK. THE GAS PUMP WILL SHUT OFF, BUT NEVER BEFORE IT HAS EXPELLED FUEL ONTO ME PERSONALLY, MY SHOES, THE GROUND, THE FILLER CAP (WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE BY TETHER), AND DOWN THE BODY PANEL BELOW THE FILLER. THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE AND HEALTH HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND OTHER PATRONS OF THE FUEL STATION. *TR
THE EVAPORATED SYSTEM IN THE JEEP IN TURNING ENGINE LIGHT AND WILL NOT PASS SAFETY AND EMISSIONS WITHOUT FIXING IT. WE HAVE A NEW FUEL CAP AND HAVE ALSO CHECKED THE CONSOLE AND IT STILL TURNS ON HEARD THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT NO RECALLS FOR IT. *TR
WHEN FILLING UP THE 2005 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON WITH GASOLINE, THE TANK OVERFLOWS AT THE FILLING POINT EVERY TIME, BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. IT HAPPENS AT EVERY STATION, EVERY TIME. IT IS NOT OPERATOR ERROR. *JS
DURING FILL UP, GAS OVERFLOWED CAUSING DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD. SEE VIDEO HTTP://YOUTU.BE/4ROFZV8Z1EW. *TR
EVERY FILL UP THE FUEL SPLASHES BACK OUT OF THE FILL TUBE, SPILLING ABOUT A CUP OF FUEL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND.THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF THE FILL RATE. I HAVE LOOKED THE FUEL SYSTEM OVER TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, AND CAN'T COME UP WITH THE CAUSE. *TR
THE BUSHING THAT ATTACHES THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER LINKAGE CABLE BROKE AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS RENDERED INOPERABLE. THIS SITUATION HAS HUNDREDS OF INCIDENTS DETAILED ON THE INTERNET AND JEEP SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THE EFFECTED VEHICLES SINCE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURER PART. CHRYSLER/JEEP IS BEING DISHONEST WITH CONSUMERS BY SAYING THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, YET THE PARTS MANAGER AT MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE AND JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE, IS THE DEFECTIVE SHIFTER TUBE SLEEVE NYLON INSERT THAT CRACKS. THIS IS ALSO WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE JEEP FORUMS. JEEP IS AWARE THAT BOTH PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE AND THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE FOR OWNERS. PLEASE HELP! *TR
WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS AT CALIFORNIA PUMPS, THE NOZZLE KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW I TRY TO FILL, WHAT ANGLE I TURN THE NOZZLE, OR HOW DEEP I ENTER THE NOZZLE, IT KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. IT TAKES ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO FILL THE TANK, A FEW SECONDS AT A TIME. *JS
JUST PURCHASED THIS USED JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON ABOUT 2 1/2 MONTHS AGO AND EVERYTIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, FUEL PUKES BACK OUT THE FILLER OPENING AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE ALL OVER THE GROUND BEFORE THE GAS PUMP CAN SHUT OFF. SEEMS REALLY DANGEROUS NOT TO MENTION MAKING A BIG, EMBARRASSING MESS. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE I REFUEL, HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS. *TR
EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK, THE FUEL "BURPS" BACK AND ANYWHERE FROM ONE TO TWO QUARTS OF GAS IS SPILLED. *TR
I OWN A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED (LJ) THAT I PURCHASED IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. FROM DAY 1, LIKE MANY OTHERS, WHEN I FILL THE VEHICLE'S FUEL TANK, THE PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF, CAUSING FUEL TO SPRAY / SPILL OUT AND RUN DOWN THE BODY ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE CHECKED INTO. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE DEATH WOBBLE. *TR
WHEN PUTTING GAS IN FUEL TANK IN JEEP WHEN FILLING UP TO FULL MARK GAS COMES OUT OF SPOUT AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF JEEP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE JEEP IS FILLED UP. AT ANY GAS STATION. *TR
DURING FILL UP OF THE FUEL TANK, FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER HOLE RESULTING IN A HEATH HAZARD, FIRE HAZARD, & ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! *TR
