We have classified the 337 complaints from 2005 Jeep Wrangler about FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE into the following categories.
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
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
While fueling my jeep, fuel came spewing from the filler neck before the pump shut off. this caused approximately 1/8 gallon of fuel to spill on my vehicle and myself. while driving after this incident i had to pull over and get out of my vehicle as i was becoming disoriented from exposure to the fuel/fuel vapors that spilled on me. luckily i was able to realize quickly that my level of alertness was deteriorating and was able to pull over, roll down my windows, and allow the fumes to dissipate. i feel that this is a very big safety concern that could cause a serious accident if not addressed and fixed quickly. *tr
Gas tank overflows when filling with fuel. *tr
Every time when fueling the car, the gas tank overflows. the shut off valve is faulty. the jeep boards have many documented incidents of this occurring. the car is a 2005 but only has 20,000 miles on it. there are recalls for 2007 and newer but nothing for my car which is a 2005. the response from jeep is it is the fault of the gas. ethanol causes the shut off valve to expand. from my perspective it's faulty engineering. *js
When refueling, once the fuel tank is full the service station fuel supply hose nozzle clicks off, then a surge of fuel expels from the jeep fuel tank fill port splashing onto the vehicle exterior, onto myself, and onto the ground. this is a serious fire hazard. it appears to be a common problem with the jeep wrangler across many years, with no resolution to date. *tr
Every time you fuel the vehicle, it overflows gas badly as the pump cuts off. this happens regardless of the pump or location that i buy fuel from. it dumps gas all over the side of the car and on the ground. significant amount of gas spills out. *tr
While filling the vehicle the gas pump shuts off and then fuel comes pouring out of the fuel fill on the vehicle. there are lots of complaints online regarding this issue with jeep and this has the potential for severe injury and property damage due to the fuel spilling on the ground and possibly exploding. *tr
I had my fuel tank replaced by jeep a little over 2 years ago for the "roll over valve" problem - faulty fuel tank design that jeep refuses to acknowledge that its a common problem. as well as a safety and environmental hazard -- every time the gas pump clicks off, fuel violently shoots all over the paint, ground, and my person. the replacement tank has started doing this again after maybe 20,000 miles! jeep replaced a faulty, hazardous part with another. this is an outrage that every time i go to the gas station i have to worry about fuel shooting all over the place, its embarrassing as well. i made an nhtsa complaint the first time but i am making another since the replacement part is doing the exact same thing! *tr
I traced a loud screeching noise to the oil pump drive assembly. as the engine warmed up the noise subsided but continues to occur.on line research shows this to be a common problem for the 05-06 wranglers due to a design change from 04 to 05 model years where a bushing at the top of the cam position sensor/oil pump drive that seizes due to lack of lubrication and causes the drive gear on the oil pump shaft to self destruct taking with it the camshaft drive gear which causes loss of oil pressure.dodge issued the e05 mar 2005 campaign-engine oil pump drive gear/cam replacement. letters were sent to dealers to replace the drive gears and cams damaged by this problem. the notification applies to the 4.0 l engine built from oct 20, 2004 to feb 1, 2005. my local dodge dealer informed me that my jeep has an oct 9, 2004 build date and is therefore not eligible for the recall even though the pictures i showed him of the damage to the gears in my engine. the dealer suggested i try customer service. they referred me to nhtsa to seek a resolution. so after investing over $12,000 dollars ...
Every time since purchasing my jeep on nov 26th 2013 when filling the fuel tank as it clicks off fuel spits out of the filler neck and on to the body and on the ground. even when manually filling it spits fuel out before you can release the nozzle. if you are standing in the wrong position it lands on your clothes and shoes. this creates a safety risk of fire as well as the environmental damage. *tr
When i go to fill up when it gets full it spills out of the top all over side of jeep and ground saw there is others out there having same problem very unsafe. i am second owner jeep should doing something about this. please help. *tr
Filling up my gas tank the tank overflows every time. tried several gas stations and the same thing happened every time. talked to other jeep wrangler owners and several of them have had the same problems. *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
