MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED (24,000 MILES) STARTED SPITTING A SMALL AMOUNT OF GASOLINE FROM THE FILLER TUBE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IT WOULD SPIT OUT ABOUT A SECOND AFTER THE NOZZLE SHUT OFF. LIKE MANY OTHERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, I BLAMED THE STATIONS EQUIPMENT. I TRIED OTHER STATIONS & OTHER TECHNIQUES LIKE FILLING SLOWER & TRYING TO ANTICIPATE WHEN THE TANK WOULD BE FULL & FILLING AS SLOWLY AS THE NOZZLE WOULD ALLOW. NOTHING SEEMED TO PREVENT THE SPIT BACK. I RECENTLY BECAME AWARE OF THE WORKINGS OF THE VAPOR CONTROL PROPERTIES OF MY JEEP. THAT LED ME TO AN INTERNET FORUM & TO THE FACT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO SAW THAT THE NHTSA HAS INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM ON 2007 & 2008 WRANGLERS & THAT HAS LED TO CHRYSLER VOLUNTARILY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON THOSE GAS TANKS. HOWEVER, IN THEIR FINAL REPORT THE NHTSA (PE10-032) SEEMED CRITICAL OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS BECAUSE OF INTERNET EXPOSURE. IF THIS EXPOSURE LEADS TO IDENTIFYING MORE PEOPLE WITH LEGITIMATE COMPLAINTS, HOW IS THIS A BAD THING? THESE ASSERTIONS MAY BE EASILY VERIFIED BY A TRIP TO A FILLING STATION. PART OF CHRYSLERS RESPONSE WAS BASED ON WARRANTY CLAIMS, IT IS LOGICAL THAT THE OLDER & OUT OF WARRANTY VEHICLES WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED IN THEIR EVALUATION. I BELIEVE THAT EXTENDING THE WARRANTY RATHER THAN A RECALL IS A GOOD WAY OF HANDLING THIS (REPLACING ONLY THE TANKS WITH PROBLEMS) & I APPLAUD CHRYSLER FOR THIS. I HOPE YOU WILL ENCOURAGE CHRYSLER TO ADD THE 2004-2006 WRANGLERS TO THE EXTENDED GAS TANK WARRANTY PROGRAM AS WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE 07 & 08S ARE. THE FAIR ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. THE IDENTIFIED FAILURE SEEMS TO BE A CHECK VALVE IN THE GAS TANK.
