WHEN REFUELING VEHICLE, GAS PUMP AUTO-SHUT-OFF FAILS AND GASOLINE SPILLS OUT FILLER NECK ONTO REAR PANEL AND GROUND. DEPENDING ON HANDLE SETTING, SPILL IS EITHER BACKSPLASH OR JUST OVERFLOW, BUT ALWAYS SPILLS. *TR
2006 JEEP WRANGLER. FILLING UP THE TANK AND GAS POURS OUT INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF WHEN FULL. *TR
2006 JEEP WRANGLER: AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES, I NOTICED THAT A SHUDDER STARTED TO DEVELOP IN MY FRONT END AND WOULD VIBRATE UP THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AT AROUND 45 MPH. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS OCCUR AT 40 MPH USUALLY BETWEEN 40 AND 60 AFTER HITTING A BUMP. NOW, AT 22,000 MILES, I HAVE A VIOLENT SHUDDER BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH, THAT IT FEELS LIKE I AM ABOUT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND HIT A BUMP AT ABOUT 55 AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS SO BAD THAT SHE HAD TO BRAKE IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO HER. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO THE JEEP DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE ACTED LIKE THIS WAS NOT UNUSUAL AND CALLED IT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" (NICE NAME FOR IT) AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER. THE VEHICLE STILL OCCASIONALLY SHAKES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND SOMETIMES WHEN BRAKING AND SOMETIMES IT ACTS "NORMAL" THIS VEHICLE IS 100 % STOCK FROM THE DEALER(NOT LIFTED AND ORIGINAL 215/75-15 TIRES AND HAS HAD NO MODIFICATIONS, AND HAS NOT BEEN OFF ROADING. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND THE REPLACEMENT DAMPER IS JUST TEMPORARILY MASKING THE PROBLEM( NOT VERY SUCCESSFULLY EITHER). AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET IT IS OBVIOUS THIS IS NOT AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED I GUESS THIS WONT BECOME A BIG ISSUE FOR THE CHRYSLER OR THE GOVERNMENT UNTIL THERE ARE NUMEROUS INJURIES OR FATALITIES. ITS A SHAME THAT MANUFACTURERS WAIT UNTIL THE PROBLEMS REALLY
WHILE FILLING MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER WITH GAS, IT ALWAYS SPILLS FUEL WHEN THE TANK IS FULL INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF. FUEL SPILLS DOWN THE REAR QUARTERPANEL OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND, MANY TIMES FUEL SPRAYS BACK ONTO ME, MY HANDS AND MY CLOTHES. THIS OCCURS ANY TIME I LET THE TANK FILL COMPLETELY FULL AND THE PUMP STOP ITSELF. *TR
2006 JEEP WRANGLER TRAVELING APPROX. 45 MPH THE FRONT END STARTING SHAKING CAUSING THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WITH SEVERAL PASSENGERS CRASHED UPSIDE DOWN IN A TEN FOOT STORM WATER WATERWAY. *TR
FUEL TANK FILLER OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING AT THE PUMP, GAS SHOOTS OUT, ON ME, THE JEEP, THE GROUND. *TR
HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 24,000 MILES WHICH IS EXPERIENCING FRONT WHEEL SHAKING AT ABOUT 40-45 MPH AND WHEN BRAKING. ALIGNMENT, TIRES, ETC. ARE GOOD WITH NO AFTERMARKET MODIFICATIONS DONE TO SUSPENSION. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH WRANGLERS AND IS EVEN CALLED AND KNOWN AS A "DEATH WOBBLE." NO CRASHES, BUT DEALER WILL CHARGE TO INVESTIGATE AND FIX. AS MENTIONED, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH WRANGLERS, THEREFORE, ISN'T IT A MANUFACTURING FLAW THAT JEEP NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR? *TR
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER AND THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I HAVE NUMEROUS JEEP FRIENDS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
BEGINNING TWO YEARS AGO, GASOLINE BEGAN TO OVERFLOW FROM THE FILL SPOUT OF MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER WHENEVER I FILLED THE TANK TO ANYWHERE NEAR ITS FULL CAPACITY. TO THIS DAY THIS CONTINUES TO RESULT IN GASOLINE SPILLING ON VEHICLE MYSELF AND THE GROUND ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK. THE ONLY REMEDY I HAVE FOUND IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY UP, WHICH IS SOMETIME DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP DETERMINED I NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK INSTALLED ($700). I HAVE NOT HAD THE TANK REPLACED AS THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE PROBLEM WILL NOT OCCUR AGAIN AS THE PARTS ARE, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, NOT UPDATED FROM THE PARTS ON THE VEHICLE NOW. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM NOT BEING PROPERLY ADDRESSED OR EVEN ADMITTED TO BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
FUEL SPILLS FROM FUEL TANK. THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF BUT THE FUEL WILL EJECT OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. I HAVE BEEN SPLASHED WITH FUEL. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH FUELING. EVEN RUNNING THE PUMP AT LOWEST SPEED THE CONDITION STILL OCCURS. IF I SHUT THE PUMP HANDLE OFF EARLY, IT WILL SOMETIMES PREVENT THE SPILL. NOT ALWAYS. *TR
MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER TJ EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS THE GAS COMES SPEWING OUT INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF. I AM VERY CAREFUL & TRY TO LISTEN TO CATCH IT...NOPE ...SPEWS GAS AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FIND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. ITS A VARIETY OF JEEPS FROM 2000 - 2006. *TR
I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FILL UP MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. WHEN THE TANK IS "FULL", THE GAS OVER FLOWS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AND GOES ALL OVER THE FENDER FLARE AND REAR QUARTER PANEL. SOMETIMES, IF I DON'T GET OUT OF THE WAY FAST ENOUGH, I'LL GET GAS ON ME AS WELL. *TR
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, ABOUT 1/4 CUP OF FUEL SPILLS OUT EVERY TIME. *TR
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE AUTOMATIC CUT-OFF DOES NOT FUNCTION CAUSING THE TANK TO OVERFILL SPILLING GASOLINE ON THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. *TR
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
EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER WITH GAS, IT OVERFLOWS. *TR
I OWN A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK THE GAS OVERFLOWS ONTO THE GROUND AS THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH JEEP WRANGLERS AND CHRYSLER HAS YET TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
FUEL SPITS OUT OF FILLER NECK WHEN PUMP SHUTS OFF AT FULL TANK SPILLING A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF FUEL. *TR
FUEL OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS ONTO FLOOR AND ALL OVER SIDE OF VEHICLE EVERYTIME I FILL WITH FUEL.
STARTING WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD APPROX 30K MILES, THE HANDLE AT THE GAS STATION WOULD SHUT OFF ONE TO TWO SECONDS AFTER GAS WOULD COME SPRAYING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS OR HANDLE STYLES HAD NO EFFECT ON THE PROBLEM. I DID DISCOVER THAT IF FILLED VERY SLOWLY, IT WOULD CLICK OFF BEFORE OVERFILLING; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM IS PROGRESSIVE AND THAT METHOD IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE. LAST WEEK (MARCH 21ST 2010) I WENT TO ADD GAS AND FOUND THAT THE HANDLE WOULD CLICK OFF INSTANTLY WHEN MORE THAN 1/4 FLOW WAS ATTEMPTED, EVEN THOUGH THE GAS TANK WAS EMPTY. ATTEMPTS AT REMOVING THE GAS TANK AND ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS HAVE FOUND NO OBSTRUCTIONS OR OBVIOUS DAMAGE; HOWEVER THE MALFUNCTION REMAINS. *CN
GAS SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK EVERY TIME I FILL UP. NO MATTER HOW FAST I PUMP, OR WHICH GAS STATION I'M AT. *CN
I OWN A 2006 JEEP RUBICON WRANGLER... EVERY FILL UP THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS SPILLING AT LEAST 2-3 CUPS WORTH OF GASOLINE ALL OVER MY JEEP, THE GROUND AND SOMETIMES ON ME. I FEEL THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFTEY HAZARD BUT AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD AS WELL.
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE NOTICED A HARD VIBRATION UNDER THE CLUTCH, THE CLUTCH MADE A POPPING SOUND WHEN SHE SWITCHED GEARS AND ONCE IN SIXTH GEAR, THE RPMS FLUCTUATED. FURTHERMORE, THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE SEEMED AS IF IT WOULD STALL. THE CONTACT NOTICED THESE PROBLEMS WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED A SPEED OF 60 MPH. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO RECALL 06V147000 (POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,476. THE CURRENT MLEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,800.
EACH TIME I REFUEL MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER, THE FUEL SPLASHES OUT JUST AFTER THE PUMP AUTO SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY REFUEL
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK FULL, THE GAS OVERFLOWS FROM THE GAS TANK FILL SITE. THIS SPEWS GASONLINE (ABOUT 1-2 CUPS OF FUEL) ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL TIMES THE GAS HAS SPRAYED ON TO ME AS WELL AS PUMP ATTENDANTS. THE GASOLINE SPILLAGE IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT OCCURS EACH TIME THE GAS TANK IS FILLED.
FUEL OVERFLOW WHEN FILLING UP, HAPPENS EVERY TIME.
EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK ON MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER TJ UNLIMITED, THE FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK BECAUSE THE NOZZLE STOP MUST BE SET TO SHUT OFF HIGHER THAN THE JEEP FUEL TANK WILL ALLOW FOR IT TO FILL. I HAVE EVEN TRIED TO TRICKLE FUEL IN AT THE END OF THE FILL UP AND IT STILL SHOOTS FUEL EVERYWHERE. THIS IS AN EVERY FILL UP OCCURRENCE AND NOT JUST FROM TIME TO TIME.
WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK TO FULL CAPACITY, PUMPS SPILLS FUEL OUT OF TANK FILLER TUBE. POSSIBLE ROLL OVER VALVE STICKING CAUSING FUEL TANK TO OVERFILL SPILLING FUEL OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE BECAUSE THE PUMP DON'T STOP WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. *DT
1. WHEN FILLING GAS TANK AT STATION, FUEL SPRAYS AND SPILLS OUT OF FILLER NECK WHEN TANK IS FULL. 2. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP AND CAN RESULT IN QUITE A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS BEING SPILLED SOMETIMES. IT BEGAN HAPPENING ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO. 3. NOTHING, JEEP SAYS IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY.*DT
2006 JEEP WRANGLER; STARTING IN 2009, FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS EVER TIME TANK IS FILLED AT GAS STATION. THE FUEL TANK IS DEFECTIVE, AND THE RECOMMENDED REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE TANK. CREATES A SIGNIFICANT FUEL SPILL. THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT ON JEEP WRANGLER FUEL TANKS.*TR
WHEN FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, THE PUMP ALWAYS OVERFLOWS. EVERY TIME. AS FOR THE APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE, IT IS EVERY OTHER WEEK. *TR
EVERY TIME I FILL MY CARS GAS TANK UP THE FUEL SPILLS OUT I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER AND JEEP BOTH HAVE SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT ITS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN THOUGH GAS SPILLING OUT OF A VEHICLE I WOULD HAVE TO SAY IS PRETTY UNSAFE THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. *TR
WHENEVER I FILL UP MY 06 JEEP WRANGLER, IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS WHEN. THIS IS A WASTE OF GAS AND HAZARDOUS TO THE ENVIRONMENT. *TR
2006 JEEP WRANGLER - WHEN FILLING WITH FUEL AT ANY SERVICE STATION THE FUEL TANK WILL OVERFILL CAUSING FUEL TO RUSH OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND ONTO ANYONE OR ANYTHING STANDING IN THE WAY. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN COVERED IN FUEL BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN FULL. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND HEALTH HAZARD WITH FUEL BEING DUMPED ON THE GROUND AT SERVICE STATIONS. MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED AND MORE CAN BE READ AT JEEPFORUMS.COM. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! IT IS A DANGER! *TR
VEHICLE SPRAYS OUT GASOLINE WHENEVER I FILL IT UP. 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM FILL UPS, USUALLY 3 OUT OF 5 TIMES. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I FILL THE TANK TO FULL. THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS ISSUE A FEW TIMES ALREADY. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING ON ALOT OF JEEP VEHICLES. *TR
WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 40 MPH TO 50 MPH THE FRONT END SHAKES VERY HARD AND IS HARD TO KEEP IN YOUR OWN LANE. *TR
GAS TANK OVERFLOWS ON EVERY FILL - NO MATTER WHICH GAS STATION, PUMP, ETC (ALL OVER THE EAST COAST) THE AUTO SHUTOFF FIRES ONLY AFTER A CUP OR MORE OF GAS IS SPILLED. THIS HAS RESULTED IN ME BEING COVERED IN GASOLINE REPEATEDLY, NOT TO MENTION THE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLED TO THE GROUND EACH TIME IT IS FILLED. (EVEN FILLING EXTREMELY SLOWLY RESULTS IN A SPILL.) *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT SUSPENSION WOULD BOUNCE AND CAUSE ROUGH HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE, MORE SO IN COLDER TEMPERATURES. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 12 MPH. THE DEALER TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A TEST DRIVE BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. HE DID STATE THAT THE THROTTLE BODY COULD HAVE CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,000. UPDATED 5/3/10 *CN THE CONSUMER WAS ALSO HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSON. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER NOT TO USE FIRST GEAR, BUT TO START IN SECOND GEAR. UPDATED 06/28/10*JB
EVERY TIME I PUMP GAS IT OVERFILLS AND COMES OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND AND MY JEEP AND SOMETIMES ITS EVEN WENT ON ME. *TR
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. ALMOST EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FUELED UP, A SIGNIFICANT QUANTITY OF GASOLINE IS FORCEFULLY EJECTED/SPRAYED FROM THE FILLER NECK AS THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS IS NOT A "TOP-OFF" SITUATION IT IS ON THE FIRST AND ONLY ATTEMPT. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT MULTIPLE STATIONS AND MULTIPLE PUMPS AT THOSE STATIONS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM. *TR
THE FUEL SPITS BACK OUT WHEN FULL AS I FILL THE TANK UP. NOT JUST A LITTLE, BUT A LOT OF GAS SPILLS OUT ON ME, THE GROUND, AND THE GROUND. I HAVE TRIED MANY DIFFERENT GAS PUMPS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE, BUT HASN'T RECALLED IT YET. THEY ONLY REPLACE YOUR GAS TANK WITH THE SAME ONE THAT WILL STILL CAUSE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A SERIOUS HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. *TR
DURING FILLUP, FUEL WILL EJECT OUT OF THE TANK OPENING NEARLY EVERY TIME. THE GAS STATIONS PUMP WILL SHUT OFF WHEN IT DETECTS A FULL TANK, BUT ABOUT 1 SECOND LATER GASOLINE WILL ERUPT OUT ONTO THE JEEP'S BODY, THE FILLER HOSE, AND SOMETIMES MYSELF. THE ONLY TIME IT DOESN'T OCCUR IS WHEN THE FILLING STATION HAS THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF SENSITIVITY SET MORE SENSITIVE THAN IS NORMAL. *TR
FUEL SPILLING OUT WHEN PUMPING FUEL. HAVE TO PUMP SLOW AND STOP TO PUMP FUEL. *TR
ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME I FILL MY JEEP'S TANK IT WILL GUSH FUEL WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I'VE TRIED GOING TO DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND IT STILL HAPPENS. NONE OF MY OTHER CARS DO THIS. AS A CONSEQUENCE IT SPILLS ABOUT A CUP OF FUEL ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ON THE GROUND. JEEP WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE AWARE OF IT. *TR
THIS COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE A 06 JEEP WRANGLER THAT EACH TIME SOMEONE FILLS THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL IT OVERFLOWS. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY GAS STATION THAT IT HAS EVER BEEN FILLED UP AT. IT IS A HAZARD THAT FUEL SPILLS OUT OVER THE GROUND EACH TIME THAT IT IS FILLED UP. THE FUEL TANK HAS TO BE FIXED. *TR
THE FUEL OVER FLOWS EVERY TIME IT IS REFUELED. THE SPEED OF THE FUEL PROCESS DOES NOT AFFECT THE SPILLAGE. *TR
MY '06 JEEP WRANGLER OVERFLOWS WITH GAS EVERY TIME I FILL UP NOW. IT BEGAN DOING THIS ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AGO, AND NOW DOES IT EVERY TIME I FILL UP REGARDLESS OF HOW SLOW I TRY TO PUMP THE GAS. GAS SPITS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE JEEP AND THE GROUND. SEVERAL DAYS AGO MY WIFE, WHO WAS UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM, DROVE MY JEEP AND AS A KIND GESTURE THOUGHT SHE WOULD FILL IT UP FOR ME. AS A RESULT, SHE ENDED UP GETTING GAS SPLASHED ON TO HER CLOTHES, THE JEEP, AND THE SURROUNDING GROUND. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. I HAVE COME TO LEARN THAT MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. JEEP HAS IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS BEING A STUCK CHECK BALL THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. TO REMEDY THE SITUATION, THEY RECOMMEND THAT YOU BUY A NEW GAST TANK. HOWEVER, NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE NEW GAS TANKS, SO IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE YOU WOULD START TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, MOST OF US ARE RECENTLY OUT OF WARRANTY AND JEEP IS REFUSING ANY OTHER HELP. BESIDES THE OBVIOUS PERSONAL HAZARDS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM, YOU ALSO FACE AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD EVERY TIME YOU NEED TO FUEL UP YOUR VEHICLE. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT YOU CAN HELP ME AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATHS OCCUR FROM THIS DEFECT. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
EVERYTIME I FILL MY GAS TANK, GAS SQUIRTS OUT OF THE FILL AND SPLASHES ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ALL ONTO THE GROUND. *TR
SINCE SEPTEMBER 2009,EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER,AT LEAST 10 TO 12OZ SPILL OUT BEFORE THE AUTO SHUTOFF ON THE NOZZLE IS ENGAGED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK ON MY 06 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS. THE PUMP DOES NOT SENSE THAT THE TANK IS FULL AND THE BACK WASH FLOWS OUT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND THE GROUND AT MY FEET. FORTUNATELY MY JEEP HASN'T BEEN HIT BY A CIGARETTE AFTER ONE OF THESE INCIDENCES. *TR
