2005 Jeep Wrangler complaints

HAD BEEN NOTICING A PLASTIC BURNING SMELL FOR A COUPLE MONTHS, NEVER FOUND A CAUSE OR ANYTHING NOT WORKING PROPERLY. DRIVING HOME EARLY ONE MORNING I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING, THE BRIGHTS WORKED AND SO DID THE FOG LIGHTS, BUT NO LOW BEAMS. AFTER LOOKING ON JEEP FORUMS AND NOTICING A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I DECIDED TO TAKE THE COVER OFF MY COLUMN AND TAKE A LOOK. THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTED TO MY MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH WAS BURNT, PROOF OF AT LEAST ONE SMALL ELECTRICAL FIRE, IF NOT MULTIPLE SMALL FIRES. I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, MULTIPLE POSTERS ON JEEP FORUMS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR EVENTS. *TR

FUEL FILLER OVERFLOWS WHEN FUELING TANK, EVERY TIME. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE GAS SPITS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I GO SLOW OR FAST. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS. *TR

EACH TIME I FUEL MY JEEP IF I LET THE GAS AUTOMATICALLY RUN IT WILL NOT CLICK THE PUMP OFF WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL. IT CONTINUES TO RUN OVERFLOWING EVERYWHERE. *JS

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FILLER HOSE ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP FUEL. THE GAS SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND AT THE GAS STATION. I COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLLER HQ AND THEY SAID, ITS BEEN NOTED AND MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALLS THAT THEY HAVE ON THE LATER MODEL JEEP WRANGLERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

EACH AND EVERY TIME I FILL THE VEHICLE UP WITH GASOLINE, THE FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE GAS TANK ALL OVER THE VEHICLE. IT HAS RUINED MY FENDER FLARE NOT TO MENTION THE GASOLINE ON THE GROUND AS A RESULT OF THE FAULTY GAS TANK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP THE VEHICLE (REGARDLESS OF THE GAS STATION). THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO HANDLE IT IS IN A MANUAL PROCESS (NOT USING THE PUMP HANDLE SWITCH TO KEEP PUMP ON), HOWEVER THAT STILL DOES NOT STOP THE FUEL FROM FILLING OUT THE TANK. THIS HAS RUINED SOME OF MY CLOTHES AND AS MENTIONED, IS CREATING PLENTY OF POLLUTION EVERY SPILL. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH WRANGLERS AS IT IS COMMONLY REPORTED IN ONLINE FORUMS. I AM ASKING FOR CHRYSLER'S ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED AND THE FUEL TANK REPLACED. *TR

GAS OVERFLOWS AND RUSHES OUT WHEN PUMPING GAS WHEN TANK BECOMES FULL. *TR

FUEL SPITS OUT OF THE REFUEL RECEPTACLE EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. *TR

EACH TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK WITH FUEL, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE TANK. AS I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT ONLY AFTER LEARNING FROM MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS THEY ALSO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS FOR THIS AMOUNT OF FUEL TO BE SPILLED (AND SPEWED) FROM THE GAS TANK, THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT IT IS TO MONITOR THE GALLONS GOING IN AND STOP IT MANUALLY WHICH, UNFORTUNATELY, IS NOT ALWAYS A SUCCESSFUL APPROACH. THANKS! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER GS-A TIRES, SIZE 30X9.50 R 15. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 75 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE BLEW AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ROLL OVER. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A CRUSHED HAND AND BACK INJURIES. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A HAND INJURY. THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED CHEST INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE TIRE WAS NOT REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 41,000. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK ON MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, THE GAS TANK OVER FLOWS AND SPEWS GAS OUT DOWN THE SIDE OF THE BODY AND ONTO THE CONCRETE. IT LEAVES A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ABOUT 8 OUNCES OR SO. *TR

WHEN REFILLING GAS THE AUTO SHUTOFF DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY AND FUEL SPILLS OUT ONTO VEHICLE AND GROUND AS IT DOESN'T SHUT OFF SOON ENOUGH. GAS CAN SPLASH ON PERSON HOLDING NOZZLE OR NEAR VEHICLE. FIRE AND POLLUTION RISK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH OVER A ROAD BUMP, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTIONS AND THEY STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A REPAIR AVAILABLE TO RECTIFY THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HE HAD EXPERIENCED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000. UPDATED 09/18/13*LJ

I HAVE A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED...WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY HITTING A SPEED OF ABOUT 62 MY JEEP STARTING SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY THAT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOOSE MY FRONT END! THE STEERING WHEEL FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO COME OFF IN MY HANDS AND THAT MY TIRES WERE READY TO FALL OFF AS WELL! THIS WAS VERY VERY SCARY SINCE I HAD MY GRANDCHILD IN THE JEEP WITH ME! I PAID OVER $800 TO HAVE THE SUSPENSION ROD/TIE RODS REPLACED. THEN SHORTLY THEREAFTER, MY JEEP WOULD NOT START. A LITTLE PIN IN THE STEERING COLUMN BROKE AND THE THAT PART IS NOT SOLD SEPARATELY SO I HAD TO HAVE THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED...ABOUT ANOTHER $600. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED....IT WOULD NOT START ONE MORNING AND I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. A TINY PIN IN THE STEERING COLUMN BROKE. THIS 1/2" PIN IS NOT SOLD SEPARATELY AND I HAD TO HAVE THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED AT A COST OVER $600! *TR

HI, APPARENTLY MY SITUATION ISN'T UNIQUE, I HAVE A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH LESS THAN 70K MILES. AT ABOUT 50MPH IT STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS JEEP, ABOUT 2 1/2 MONTHS. I TOOK IT TO THE TIRE SHOP AND THEY INSPECTED THE TIE-ROD ENDS AND FOUND NO PROBLEM. IT WAS SHAKING SO BAD I THOUGHT THAT SURELY MY FRONT END WAS COMING APART SO, I GOOGLED MY PROBLEM AND WAS LED TO A PLETHORA OF INFORMATION AND FOUND THE TERM "DEATH WOBBLE", I THOUGHT IT FELT LIKE DRIVING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, BUT DEATH WOBBLE SEEMS TO ALSO BE AN APPROPRIATE TERM AS WELL, BECAUSE THE FRONT END SEEMS TO BE SHAKING TO DEATH. I, LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, WENT TO KEVIN'S OFF ROAD, KOR, WEBSITE AND READ ABOUT THE POTENTIAL CAUSES AND CURES. IN MY PARTICULAR CASE THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY AFTERMARKET MODIFICATIONS, IT'S AS STOCK AS THEY COME. ANYWAY, KEVIN'S RECOMMENDED SOLUTION TO MY "WOBBLE" IS TO REPLACE THE TRACK BAR, THE STEERING DAMPER, CONTROL ARMS AND BUSHINGS. THE COST FOR THIS IS AROUND $366 FOR THE PARTS AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE LABOR COSTS WILL BE. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT MAYBE SOMEONE AT CHRYSLER SHOULD ACTUALLY GO DRIVE ONE BEFORE THEY SAY "IT'S NOT OUR FAULT". THEY SHOULD BE PART OF THE SOLUTION SINCE THEY CREATED THE PROBLEM. MY 1989 JEEP DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM, LEAF SPRINGS VS. INDEPENDENT COIL SPRINGS, PERHAPS,... A SMOOTHER RIDE BUT AT WHAT COST? $366 PLUS LABOR FOR ME. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP APPLY PRESSURE TO CHRYSLER TO MAKE THIS RIGHT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE SHIFTER CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. *TR

WHEN FUELING UP, NOZZLE DOES NOT SHUT OFF AND FUEL SPILLS OUT ONTO ME AND GROUND. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AND NOTICED THAT WHEN FILLING THE TANK IT ACTUALLY SPLASHES FUEL OUT OF THE FILL TUBE EVERY TIME THE GAS STATION NOZZLE CLICKS OFF WHEN FULL. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS JEEP FROM NORTH CAROLINA TO MICHIGAN AND USED SEVERAL DIFFERENT STYLES OF NOZZLES FROM GAS STATIONS IN MANY STATES. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SLOW THE FUEL DELIVERY, ANGLE THE NOZZLE DIFFERENTLY, STOP EARLY AND RESUME FILLING. THE RESULT IS ALWAYS THE SAME. ENOUGH FUEL TO RUN DOWN A SQUARE FOOT AREA ON MY CAR AND LEAVE A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND WILL ALWAYS SHOOT OUT UNDER PRESSURE. I END UP WITH GAS ON MY CAR, ON ME AND ON THE GROUND. THIS CAN NOT BE CONSIDERED SAFE FOR MY WELL BEING OR THE ENVIRONMENT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE MY GAS TANK, A $1200 REPAIR, TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FILLED ON MY 05 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, THE PUMP DOES NOT STOP PROPERLY, SPILLING GAS OVER THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND, AND THE INDIVIDUAL PUMPING THE GAS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME, REGARDLESS OF GAS STATION.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INSIDE LANE AT OR ABOUT 43MPH ON A STATE HWY WHEN IT HIT A VERY SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY CAUSING ME TO LOSE MY GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL BEFORE I COULD REGAIN CONTROL, NEARLY STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING ON THE OUTSIDE LANE. THE SHAKING WAS SO VIOLENT I THOUGHT MY JEEP WAS LITERALLY GOING TO FALL APART AND/OR FLIP OVER. I WORK OUT OF TOWN AND WAS FORCED TO RETURN HOME AND TAKE MY WIFE'S TRUCK. *TR

WHEN REFUELING MY JEEP, FUEL WAS EXPELLED FROM THE FILER NECK AT THE SAME TIME THE FUEL PUMP CUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. I WAS COVERED IN GASOLINE THIS TIME AFTER THE FUEL WAS EXPELLED FROM THE TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON EVERY REFILL STARTING ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO BUT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE BEEN DOUSED WITH FUEL. THE JEEP DEALER INDICATED THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN INITIATED ON HUNDREDS OF WRANGLERS BUT NOT THE 2005 JEEP WRANGLERS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THE CONSUMER NEEDS YOUR HELP!! MANY ONLINE ARTICLES FROM ORGANIZATIONS LIKE EDMUNDS AND CONSUMER REPORTS HAS INDICATED THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE IDENTIFIED BY YOUR ORGANIZATION AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THE VEHICLES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD AT ABOUT 47 MPH WHEN I MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. IT SERIOUSLY FELT AS IF MY WRANGLER WAS GOING TO SHAKE THE STEERING WHEEL AND TIRES RIGHT OFF. THE ONLY WAY I ABLE TO STOP THE SHAKING WAS TO PULL OVER AND SLOW DOWN, THEN AS SOON AS I HIT 47 MPH THIS HAPPENED ALL OVER AGAIN. DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AND THEY CALL IT A "DEATH WOBBLE," AND THIS HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH JEEP WRANGLERS FOR SOME TIME NOW. BUT FOR SOME REASON CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SEVERITY AND DANGEROUS NATURE OF THIS MALFUNCTION. THIS KIND OF DEFECT COULD KILL SOMEONE! *TR

EVERY TIME I GO TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK- ONCE THE FUEL PUMP REACHES THE FULL AMOUNT THE FUEL STARTS COMING OUT OF THE TANK SPILLING ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY WRANGLER AND SOMETIMES ON MY SHOES. EVEN WHEN I SLOW PUMP THE GAS INTO THE TANK, ONCE IT REACHES A CERTAIN POINT (WHICH I CAN NEVER TELL BECAUSE MOST VEHICLES MAKE THE GAS PUMP CLICK OFF ONCE FULL) IT ALMOST ALWAYS AUTOMATICALLY PURGES ITSELF. *TR

I WAS FILLING UP MY GAS TANK. WHEN TANK WAS FULL, GAS SPILLED OUT OF FILLER ALL OVER MY VEHICLE AND GROUND BEFORE IT WOULD STOP. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR WRANGLER. *TR

WHENEVER JEEP REACHES SPEEDS OF 50 MPH AND HITS A BUMP FRONT WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. YOU MUST SLOW AT ONCE TO GET IT TO STOP. AFTER ASKING OTHER JEEP OWNERS I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. WENT TO THE JEEP DEALER AND WAS ONLY GIVEN A SERVICE BULLETIN AND NO ANSWERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK AND WHEN REFUELING, THE FUEL WOULD SPILL TO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE FUEL CONTINUED TO SPILL TO THE GROUND AS THE FUEL TANK WAS BEING FILLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,344 AND THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000. UPDATED 04/30/13*LJ THE DEALER ORDERED A NEW FUEL TANK.

IN TRYING TO START MY VEHICLE, A PART INSIDE OF THE IGNITION BROKE. I AM TOLD I CANNOT GET THE PART THAT BROKE AND I MUST PURCHASE AN ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN TO REPLACE THIS PART IN BETWEEN THE KEY AND THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT THAT STARTS MY VEHICLE. IT IS A SMALL PART, AND I CANNOT SEE HAVING THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN TO REPLACE THIS SMALL PART. I AM TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THE COST TO REPAIR THIS IS ABOUT $800.00. I THINK THIS IS ENTIRELY UNREASONABLE AND IRRESPONSIBLE ON THE PART OF THE MANUFACTURER. THIS PART IS USED DAILY AND SHOULD NOT FAIL AFTER 60,000 MILES OF WEAR. MY SEVEN YEAR / 70,000 MI WARRANTY HAS JUST EXPIRED AND I AM APPALLED THAT SUCH A LARGE COMPANY CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX OR EVEN STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT TO HAVE FAILED SO PREMATURELY. IT IS USED EVERY TIME YOU START THIS VEHICLE, AND UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION OF THIS PART, IT SEEMS THAT IT IS MADE OF SUB-STANDARD MATERIAL TO BE A PART THAT MUST ENDURE DAILY USE.

ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO THE GAS TANK STARTED OVER FLOWING WHEN I PUT GAS IN. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS A PUMP PROBLEM BUT IT GOT WORSE OVER TIME. WHEN I FILL THE TANK IT OVER FLOWS ABOUT A CUP OF GAS. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT HAPPENS ON SOME JEEPS. THE PROBLEM IS THE ROLL OVER VALVE STICKS OPEN. THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE GAS TANK - $1,250.00. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR CHRYSLER WOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGED IT WAS A DESIGN DEFECT NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. IF THERE ARE 1 MILLION JEEPS ON THE ROAD WITH THIS PROBLEM, THEIR DRIVERS FILL UP ONCE A WEEK, AND SPILL A CUP EACH THAT AMOUNTS TO 60 THOUSAND GALLONS OF GAS DUMPED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT A WEEK. SEEMS LIKE CHRYSLER SHOULD BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND EITHER YOU OR THE EPA SHOULD ENCOURAGE THEM TO TAKE OWNERSHIP. *TR

FUEL SPILL OCCURS DURING FILL UPS. FUEL WILL SPILL ONTO THE GROUND AS WELL AS SPEW OUTWARD FROM THE VEHICLE. FUEL HAS GOTTEN ONTO MY CLOTHING AND SKIN ON TWO OCCASIONS. *TR

WHEN I FILL UP MY TANK AT THE GAS STATION, THE AUTO FILL WON'T CLICK OFF UNTIL THE GAS TANK IS OVERFILLED, AND SPRAYS OUT, THEN RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I USE THEIR AUTO FILL NOTCHES AND WALK AWAY OR HOLD IT BY HAND, THE GAS WONT CLICK OFF UNTIL THE TANK HAS OVERFLOWED. IT SPILLS BETWEEN A LITER AND A PINT EACH TIME. *TR

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, GAS WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF TANK, THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE VEHICLE WAS BRAND NEW. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP 2 WEEKS AGO, EVERY TIME I GO TO FILL UP WITH GAS, NO MATTER WHICH GAS STATION I AM AT THE GAS ALWAYS COMES SPEWING OUT. I HAVE TRIED MANY THINGS, EVEN POSITIONING THE GAS HANDLE AT DIFFERENT ANGLES ECT. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A FAULTY FUEL TANK/EVAP. THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THIS. I HAVE TALKED TO DEALER SHIPS SAYING THAT THE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IN MY OPINION THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 37000 MILES ON IT, AND I ALREADY HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK!? I THINK JEEP/CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FOOT THE BILL ON THIS ONE... *TR

FUEL SYSTEM DOES NOT RESPOND TO A SHUT-OFF MECHANISM. EVERY TIME WE FILL UP THE GAS ON OUR 2005 WRANGLER UNLIMITED, GAS WILL COME BACK OUT AND SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND SOMETIMES SPRAY SURROUNDING AREA. SO IF YOU ARE STANDING ANYWHERE NEAR IT, MOST LIKELY YOU WILL HAVE GAS ALL OVER YOURSELF. WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS OF THE 2005 WRANGLER THAT ONLY HAD 5500 MILES ON IT WHEN WE BOUGHT THE JEEP AND NOW HAVE ABOUT 7500 MILES AND HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE EVERY TIME WE FILL THE GAS TANK. DEALERSHIP WANTS $1400.00 TO REPLACE PLUS LABOR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH OR ABOVE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO REDUCE SPEED TO REGAIN CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO TEST DROVE AND WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE FAILURE IN THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THEY ADVISED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE STEERING ASSEMBLY. THE STEERING ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WA 82,000. THE DEALER DID ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT. THE CONSUMER STATED HE FOUND A MECHANIC THAT WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM AND ALL FOUR CONTROL ARMS, TRAC BAR AND STEERING SHOCK WERE REPLACED. UPDATED 02/07/13

MY JEEP OVERFLOWS GASOLINE EVERYTIME I FILL UP AT THE PUMP! *TR

I HAD JUST BOUGHT AN UNLIMITED 2005 JEEP WRANGLER- THE FIRST TIME I STOPPED TO GET GAS I FOUND OUT VERY QUICKLY THAT THERE IS AN OVERFLOW PROBLEM WITH THESE MODELS. EVERYONE WHO IS A JEEP OWNER KNOWS ABOUT IT AND SAYS THERE ARE SOME FIXES, BUT THEY ARE LENGTHY. EVERYONE WHO ISN'T WONDERS WHY IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED AND FIXED. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT COULD POSE A LARGE HAZARD AT GAS STATIONS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK TO CAPACITY, GASOLINE WOULD SPILL FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT LINKAGE CABLE BROKE. UNABLE TO START VEHICLE WITH TRANSMISSION SELECTED IN EITHER "PARK" OR "NEUTRAL." SHIFT LINKAGE CABLE REPLACED BY DEALER, NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. *TR

FUEL TANK SPILL WHEN FUELING. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FUEL THIS VEHICLE. GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FILL TUBE WHEN PUMP SHUTS OFF. I THINK THIS COULD BE A SERIUOS FIRE HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER. *TR

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING. OCCURS AT BOTH HIGH/LOW SPEED AUTOFILL. WILL OVERFLOW AT MANUAL FILL AS WELL, UNLESS YOU HEAR GURGLING AND SHUT OFF PUMP BEFORE OVERFLOW. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION, GASOLINE SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE, RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF BUT FUEL WILL SPILL OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER ACCESS ONTO THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND THE GROUND. *TR

FUELING UP AT THE GAS STATION, CANNOT FILL UP WITHOUT GAS SPITTING OUT ONTO ME, THE VEHICLE, AND THE GROUND. NO OTHER VEHICLE I'VE OWNED HAS THIS PROBLEM, INCLUDING AN 03 JEEP WRANGLER AND A 2000 DODGE DURANGO, BOTH OF WHICH IN MORE RECENT MODEL YEARS HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH HAZARD, AS FUEL IS A CARCINOGEN. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, THE ROLLOVER CHECK VALVE FAILS AND GAS GUSHES OUT ONTO GROUND. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND ENVIROMENTAL ISSUE. *TR

WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL SHIMMY AND WOBBLE PROBLEMS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR OF THIS SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT RESOLUTION (THE LATEST WAS AS RECENT AS 9/17/2012. FOR SAFETY WE NO LONGER DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

WHILE FUELING THIS VEHICLE, AS THE TANK GOT FULL AND THE PUMP SHUT OFF, THE FUEL BELCHED OUT, AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS PUMP SO I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, IT HAS NOW GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE IT DOES IT EVERY TIME, AT EVERY DIFFERENT GAS STATION. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH PLENTY OF VIDEO TO SUPPORT THESE COMPLAINTS, WHAT IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND IS WHY YOU AREN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES HAVE FORCED ALL GAS STATIONS TO LIMIT/RECOVER FUGITIVE EMISSIONS, BUT ALL THIS VIDEO EVIDENCE ISN'T ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A RECALL OF ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES? *TR

WAS ON VACATION IN ALASKA WHEN WE STARTED TO GET THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE ( SHIMMY) . WE TRIED WHEEL BALANCE AS I THOUGHT MAYBE WE LOST A WHEEL WEIGHT. STILL SHIMMYING. INSTALLED A NEW STEERING DAMPENER AND THIS HELPED A LITTLE. STILL SHAKING AT AROUND 55 TO 60 MPH. ENDED UP BUYING 4 NEW TIRES AND THAT SEEMS TO HAVE HELPED BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A SLIGHT SHIMMY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. NOTHING LIKE B/4 THOU WHEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO SLAM THE BRAKES ON TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING. WAITING FOR IT TO START AGAIN. *TR

THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I BOUGHT THE JEEP USED BACK IN 2007. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES IN THE FIRST MONTH TO HAVE THEM BALANCE, ROTATE TIRES, CHECK ALIGNMENT. WAS TOLD I NEEDED NEW TIRES. NEW TIRES DOES FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A WHILE. I HAVE REPLACED BRAKES, ROTORS, TIRES, HAD ALIGNMENTS, ROTATIONS ETC. ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RECUR. I HAVE NOW FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS CALLED THE "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE" AND HAS HUNDREDS OF LIKE COMPLAINTS. MY TIRE WOBBLES TERRIBLY AT AROUND 55 MILES PER HOUR. I AM NOW TOLD THAT I SHOULD REPLACE MY UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS. CHRYSLER/JEEP HAS ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED A SIMILAR PROBLEM ON THEIR LIBERTY. THEY NEED TO DISCOVER THE PROBLEM SO THAT WE CAN FIX THIS AND RIDE SAFELY BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS DEFECT. *TR

EACH TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, GAS GUSHES OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND SOMETIMES ON MYSELF. I AM AFRAID THAT SOONER OR LATER I'M GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE. PLEASE HELP. *TR
