Fueling stopper assembly does not trigger gas station pump nozzle to stop dispensing fuel on time. the result is spilled fuel every time due to fuel over flow from fuel tank when ever a fuel fill up is attempted. this happens 100% of the time. *tr

Death wobble!!!! started about dec 2011 around speeds of 55-60 mph. car will suddenly start to violently shake. when viewing from behind in another car it appears as if the wheels may come off. i have replaced the shocks, struts, stabilizer bar, track bar, springs, spacers, calipers, hubs, new tires, balance and rotate tire every 5000-6000 miles, new front brakes, new back brakes, two rear alignments, 3 front alignments, and rotors, i death wobble has gone from bad to dangerously worse. my wrangler is a factory right hand drive jeep that i use to deliver mail. i was using as my primary car as well. i must drive 25 miles to work via interstate and then another 65 miles on my route. the car consistently shakes when i hit speeds of 45 mph or higher. a bump in the road will trigger the wobble as well. i spoke to two different jeep dealerships today and was told that there is no solution to my problem. i have been to at least 6 different mechanic shops, one off road shop, and two different alignment shops. i was told that i could try replacing the gear box ($899.99) and also try replacing my rims! if the maker of my vehicle has no idea on what or how to fix it........then who will? i would like to resolve my death wobble. i am extremely annoyed! i no longer feel safe driving my car to and from work and when it rains i am a nervous wreck just knowing i will have to drive my jeep on the interstate. sadly its gotten to the point that i will not allow any of my kids in this vehicle. i end up having to leave my jeep at work in another town if my husband isn't able to drive it to and from work for me. i am willing to fix the problem.......if jeep would just let me know what that is!!!! in good conscious i could never sell and stick someone else with this problem/headache!! also, when i fill my jeep up with gas, it overflows splashing gas everywhere! *tr

Every time that i refill the tank, gas will overflow out of the tank after the pump shuts off. sometimes the gas will spray out violently, other times the gas will just spill down the side of the jeep and onto the ground. *tr

When fulling the vehicle the fuel overflows out of the gas tank spilling the fuel onto the rear of the vehicle and ground. this happens every time the vehicle is fueled and it has happened at different gas stations. *tr it does not matter if the gas handle is on auto pilot nor manual fueling.

I bought my 05 jeep lj wrangler unlimited with 20,600 miles and the 1st time i filled it at 20,800 and every single time it whether i have the handle set to automatic shutoff or hand pump it slow or fast doesn't matter what gas station it spews gas all over before stopping today at 31k miles i've had it slew so bad i got soaked from the waist down having my legs feel a burning sensation along with my feet due to being soaked in gas!!!!!!!!!! i want a recall i looked online most wrangler owners complain of this issue this isn't a sole complaint as far as im aware why hasn't it been recalled?? *tr

When filling the gas tank, the shutoff valve to prevent fuel overflow does not appear to work properly and the result is that fuel overflows from the filler neck and runs all over the vehicle and ground. this happens every time it's filled up regardless of how quickly or slowly i regulate the flow of fuel into the tank. *tr

Gas over flows and soaked my pants. *kb

Gas spills out whenever i fuel-up. *tr

Every time i fill up my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited the tank will overflow. it doesn't matter if i let the auto stop click to stop the gas or if i slow down when i know it is getting full, the gas will overflow and leak everywhere. it's a decent size puddle too, not just a couple drips. *tr

When filling up the jeep with gas this morning, fuel shot out of the jeep about 3 feet and also ran down the side of the jeep right when the fuel pump shut off. had i been standing in front of the fuel tank, i would have been covered in gas to include my face. this is a known problem and chrysler needs to recall this! this is not only a safety problem, but a hazmat problem as well. *tr

Incident mileage on my report is due to buying the vehicle used, but has most likely occurred since date of original purchase. due to an bad check valve in the fuel tank, overfilling occurs at almost every fill-up, creating both environmental concerns and potential hazardous conditions. *tr

Spit back of fuel when tank is full. *tr

I had bought a jeep wrangler with approx 45000 miles. right around the 55000 the check engine light came on and then i started having gas blow out of the gas tank during refueling. the jeep now has 85000 and still has the gas blow back. i had taken it to a jeep dealer and the mention that it needed a smoke test. i found that i had a major evap leak in the fuel system, i had a mechanic replace the fuel hoses. after the repairs. i still have the fuel blow back. i live in the va beach area, where fuel on the ground causes an environment problem especially when i fuel on norfolk naval base. i had fuel sprayed on me and also cautioned the wife, who already had it splash on her face. luckily, did not spray in the eyes. when pumping gas the automatic shutoff does not kick in fast enough before blow back occurs. it happens with out warning. is there a resolution to this issue with the jeep wranglers? *tr

Upon refilling my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited with gasoline when the gas pump shuts off there is a blow back of roughly 1 quart of gasoline. this happens each and every time i re-fuel and each time it is roughly the same amount of blow back. *tr

When filling the fuel tank, gasoline shoots out the filler neck before the pump shuts off. this happens consistently and at all gas stations tried. my understanding is that this is not an isolated incident and occurs on many jeep wrangler vehicles. *tt

My fuel tank overflowed during fuel fill up. this has happened the last 4 or 5 times consistently. i even tried to fill the fuel tank at the slowest speed possible and it still overflowed and came out the filler neck when full. *tt

When trying to put gas into tank the gas overflows out the fill tube. *tr

Every time during refueling the gas spits, or splashes out. this causes a significant amount of gasoline to be spilled on the vehicle and the ground. it is not only a waste, an environmental hazard, but a safety hazard. please discuss the matter further with jeep. i am not the only owner with this issue, and far many more owners have yet to report this problem. *tr

Every time you fill the fuel tank, fuel spill's out on the side of the vehicle and on the ground causing a very dangerous fire probability. *tr

When filling up gas tank, gas will spill out for fill spout before the gas nossel shuts off. *tr

When filling the gas tank the pump will stop pumping gas but the fuel will splash out of the fill port on my jeep. there are many youtube vids showing this problem. gas is expensive so i would like to know why this is happening. *tr

Fuel spills when gas tank is full every time i fill up the jeep. my father has this same problem also. *tr

Every time i fill up my gas tank, the auto shut off doesn't happen until the tank overflows, this has caused gas to spill out sometimes onto the person filling up the tank. this happens every time at any station i use. *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. *kb

When i was at a gas station that didn't have a fuel vapor recovery system on the fuel pump handle, fuel would spit back out when the fuel tank got full, getting fuel on the pump handle and down the side of the jeep. *tr

Fuel spurts out of filler upon each fill up prior to pump kicking off. it comes out with enough force to get onto clothing, etc. this is an obvious safety hazard. *tr

The gas tank overflows and spits back gas everytime i refill the jeep's fuel tank. when the automatic shutoff on the gas station pump is engaged the gas sprays out of the fuel cap area of the 2005 jeep wrangler. this happens every time regardless of the speed i am filling the tank. *kb

Fuel overflows at all fillups. *kb

Every time i need to fill my 2005 jeep wrangler with gas it spills out of the nozzle and all over the ground right at the pump. this situation is extremely dangerous, bad for the environment and wasteful. no matter how the nozzle is held, what gas company i use or how slow i let it pump in the fuel seems to change the final outcome of a large slosh of gasoline gushing out onto the ground. as an added consequence, many gas stations don't even have the means or proper equipment to clean up this hazardous waste spill. i have seen nothing released and no fixes for this problem from jeep or any other company because apparently jeep does not feel that it is important enough, dangerous enough or even enough of a pain to their customers to offer a remedy. if it wasn't so dangerous to hold an electronic device while filling my vehicle, i'd happily send a video in of what it does when it reaches the top of the tank. *tr

When i fill up the gas tank. the valve in the tank is stuck. so it will not automatically turn off the pump causing me to not know if it is full or not. since there is no way to know when it is full it spills out if the tank and all over me the body of my car and ground. this is a well known complaint with all wranglers in this model. please help fix this. *tr

Upon filling the gas tank, fuel overflows, at times it sprays all over the place. *tr

Fuel overflows from filler neck everytime purchasing fuel regardless of fuel station. this is a substantial quantity of fuel that represents a fire and environmental hazard. fuel splashed out and got on my 3.5 year old daughter even though she was standing at what was considered to be a safe distance. it is not uncommon for fuel to shoot out close to 3 feet. when you think the tank is almost full even when slowing down the pump fuel will still splash out. *tt

When filling up the gas tank in my 2005 jeep wrangler gas spews out of the tank once full. *kb

2005 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited overflow fuel onto the ground (more than 1 cup) at every fill up. the tank also stops short of the expected volume. vehicle has 47k miles and is past warranty. as stated, this happens at every fillup. the evaporative control filling units (like found in houston) have a further issue of not operating faster than the first 'click'. the safety and environmental issue is directly tied to the release (sometimes violent) of fuel from the filler neck onto the ground or bystanders. watershed will push this raw fuel directly into storm drains, and in this area, into our drinking water aquafer recharge zones. *tr

Gas overflows when filling up. *tr

I just bought a used 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon and every time i attempt to fill up at a gas station, the pump fails to shut off causing about a half gallon of fuel to spill out onto the vehicle and the ground. this spilling happens every time regardless of the station, the pump and/or the technique used to fill (auto, manual, fast, slow, nozzle all the way in, partially out etc). *tr

Every time i try and fill up the gas tank on my 2005 jeep wrangler tj, gas overflows down the side of my vehicle. this happens at any and every pump i go to. i've never had this problem with any other car. *tt why hasn't this been recalled? besides being dangerous, it's also wasting my money, since up to a quart of gasoline comes shooting out every time i fill up.

When fueling the vehicle it overflows. the fuel always overflows before it triggers the pump to stop fueling. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that while refueling the vehicle, fuel started to spew back out from the filler neck valve. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 49,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.

2005 jeep wrangler x, when filling up with gas at the pump, the gas does not shut off when full and gasoline spills out all over the place. *tr

Fuel overflows outside and on the floor when car is refueled. *tr

On my 2005 jeep wrangler gas over flows out of the fill tube every time i gas up. i have used many different gas stations with the pumps at many different speeds. no matter what i do, the gas always overflows when i gas up. it has done this since i purchase the jeep 3 years ago. i would estimate about a quart of gasoline splashes out all over me, my jeep, and on the ground. this is a serious fire and safety hazard. some thing needs to be done. when i leave the gas station there is a visible puddle of gasoline on the ground because the fuel backstop valve in the jeep does not stop the gas from splashing out. *tr
