2005 Jeep Wrangler

THE VEHICLE HAS SPEWED GASOLINE ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND THE PERSON WHO FUELS THE VEHICLE SINCE THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH FUEL AFTER PURCHASE. THE ISSUE WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER AND WAS IGNORED. THERE WAS NOTHING PRINTED ON WARRANTY PRINT OUT AFTER SERVICE FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS(STEERING DAMPENER). YEARS AFTER I SPOKE WITH SAME DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN AS IT WAS A "COMMON" PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER HAD BEEN REPAIRING ON OTHER VEHICLES. UPON ARRIVAL THEY TRY TO CHARGE ME FOR REPAIR. I REFUSED. I AM STUNNED THAT THE NHTSA HAS ELECTED TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM AND LABEL IT AS AN INTERNET SENSATION WHEN THERE IS LITERALLY A MOUNTAIN OF EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE. I CAN PROVIDE VIDEOS, PICTURES, AND MAKE MY SELF AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION TODAY. I CAN SHOW THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND CAN BE REPEATED ON A LARGE NUMBER VEHICLES USING THE SAME PART. THIS IS ALSO AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE AS LARGE QUANTITIES OF FUEL ARE BEING DUMPED ON THE GROUND ON A DAILY BASIS. I FIND THAT THE CHRYSLER AS WELL AS NHTSA ARE IN FACT NEGLIGENT BY NOT PURSUING THEIR INVESTIGATION OF THIS HAZARDOUS CONDITION. I HAVE TO QUESTION THE RELEVANCE OF NHTSA WHEN SUCH AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IS REPORTED ONLY TO BE IGNORED. YOUR ORGANIZATION HAS ESSENTIALLY TOLD THE VEHICLE OWNERS THAT IF THEY ORGANIZE ON THE INTERNET THEIR CLAIMS WILL BE CONSIDERED TO LACK MERIT. IN ADDITION, THE SAME PARTS IN OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS CAN BE SHOWN TO HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY YOUR ORGANIZATION TO BE FAULTY, YET IGNORED IN EARLIER MODELS. IN FACT, CHRYSLER AT TIMES REPLACES THESE SAME PARTS AT RANDOM IN OTHER MODELS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN DECLARED IN A RECALL. *NOTE: THE DATE OF FIRST INSTANCE IS NOT CORRECT AS I CANNOT RECALL THE EXACT DATE OF PURCHASE. HOWEVER, THIS HAS OCCURRED EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL THE VEHICLE UP AND HAS SO SINCE THE FIRST TIME. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED BUT UNDER MFG WARRANTY

FUEL SPILLS/SPLASHES OUT WITH EVERY FILL-UP. NOZZLE POSITION OR RATE OF FILL DOES NOT CHANGE RESULT. HAVE ONLY EVER USED REGULAR UNLEADED FUEL, 87 GRADE W/ 10% OR LESS ETHANOL. APPROXIMATELY 1 CUP OF FUEL ENDS UP ON THE GROUND, THE BODY OF THE JEEP, SHOES, PANTS, AND/OR HANDS EVERY SINGLE TIME. THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH HAZARD.

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

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS AND SPLASHES OUT GAS WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS. IT OCCURS AT EVERY FILL UP AND AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS/PUMPS. THE RESULT IS GAS SPLASHING AND FLOWING OUT OF THE FILLER NOZZLE POSING A FIRE HAZARD AND EXPOSURE TO A SOLVENT. THE GAS TANK WAS REMOVED AND THE VENT HOSES INSPECTED WITH NO ABNORMALITIES FOUND. *TR
