2005 Jeep Wrangler

I OWN A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER LWB, RECENTLY, EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH FUEL,GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER. THIS DEFECT IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE JEEP WEBSITE FORUMS. IT SEEMS CHRYSLER IS REPLACING SOME FUEL TANKS, AS THEY ARE ATTRIBUTED TO THE ROLLOVER VALVE, BUILT INTO THE TANK. BUT, AS I SEE IT, THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, AS THE TANKS THEY ARE REPLACING, WILL IN TIME, DO THE SAME THING. YOUR TIMELY INVESTIGATION OF THIS MATTER, IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE. THE VIOLENCE OF SOME OF THE SPILLS I HAVE WITNESSED, DESERVE IMMEDIATE ACTION. *TR

HELLO, OUR 2005 JEEP WRANGLER HAS AN ISSUE WITH GAS SPILLING OUT OF THE GAS TANK WHENEVER IT IS FILLED UP AT THE GAS STATION. A SIGNIFICANT VOLUME OF GASOLINE SPRAYS OUTWARD ONTO THE DRIVER, AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH I BELIEVE MAY BE A SAFETY CONCERN. IT SEEMS THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND IS QUITE COMMON, AS I HAVE EVEN SEEN VIDEO DOCUMENTATION ON WEB SITES SUCH AS "YOUTUBE." *TR

I HAVE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS HAD FUEL OVERFLOW (ACTUALLY MORE SHOOT OUT) WHILE FUELING MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON. IT OCCURS AS THE FUEL IS NEARING FULL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT MANY DIFFERENT FUELING LOCATIONS AND I ALWAYS PUMP ON THE LOWEST SETTING. I HAVE EVEN BEEN SPRAYED MANUALLY FILLING THE TANK. AFTER READING THE TJ TECHNICAL FORUM ON JEEPFORUM.COM THIS SEEMS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE IS THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED. *TR

1. TWO MONTHS AGO WHILE AT THE GAS STATION FILLING THE TANK OF MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER X, THE PUMP DID NOT SHUTOFF AND FUEL SPILLED. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STATIONS PUMP, SO I DECIDED TO TRY A DIFFERENT STATION FOR MY NEXT FILL-UP. A WEEK LATER; WHILE FILLING AT ANOTHER STATION THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. 2. IN THE THREE INSTANCES THE OVER FLOW HAPPENED; I WAS HOLDING THE FILL HANDLE IN THE 6 O'CLOCK POSITION, THE NOZZLE WAS FULLY INSERTED INTO THE FILL HOLE, AND I HAD THE HANDLE FULLY DEPRESSED (NOZZLE WIDE OPEN). AS THE TANK REACHED FULL, IT DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUTOFF, IT CONTINUED FILLING UNTIL ABOUT A QUART OF GASOLINE SPILLED ONTO THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER'S WARRANTY DEPARTMENT, SERVICE CONTRACTS DEPARTMENT, GOODWILL TEAM, AND SENIOR RESOLUTION TEAM TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND REQUEST THEM TO TAKE ACTION. UNFORTUNATELY, I BELIEVE MY CALLS ARE BEING SIMPLY MARKED TO A CASE FILE AND NO INVESTIGATORY ACTION IS BEING TAKEN. I CAN EASILY SEE AN INCIDENT SUCH AS MINE LEADING TO INJURY OF AN UNKNOWING CHRYSLER OWNER. IF ANY STATIC CHARGE IS PRESENT (I.E. IN CLOTHING OR THE VEHICLE) WHEN THE OVERFLOW OCCURS THE GAS WILL IGNITE. THE PROBLEM POSES THE GREATEST THREAT WHEN IT HAPPENS THE FIRST TIME, BECAUSE THE OWNER WILL HAVE NO WARNING SIGNALS OF A FAILED PART(S) AND THEREFORE WILL NOT BE EXPECTING THE SPILL. 3. TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING; I KNOW LONGER FILL MY TANK TO ITS' FULL 16 GALLON CAPACITY. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE ADVISED THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE VAPOR CANISTER. *TR

2005 JEEP WRANGLER X GAS TANK AUTO-SHUT OFF MALFUNCTION THE AUTO-SHUT OFF OF THE GAS PUMP WHEN THE TANK IS DETECTED AS FULL HAS MALFUNCTIONED SEVERAL TIMES CAUSING AN OVERFLOW AND SPILLAGE OF GASOLINE WHEN RE-FUELING. THIS IS REGARDLESS OF THE GAS STATION (COMPANY) AND PUMP, IT APPEARS THE AUTO-SHUT OFF IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS 52,000 MILES. *TR
