2005 Jeep Wrangler

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL ESCAPED FROM THE FUEL TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THE TEST INDICATED THAT THE ROLLOVER VALVE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, BUT IT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

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

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

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

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.
