2005 Jeep Wrangler

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE OIL PUMP DRIVE GEAR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

I OWN A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. I PURCHASED THE JEEP NEW. FOR ABOUT 8-12 MONTHS NOW WHEN I AM PUMPING MY GAS THE GAS OVERFLOWS INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I HAVE TO TRY TO GUESS WHEN THE TANK IS ALMOST FULL AND STOP PUMPING SO THE GAS DOES NOT SPILL OUT ALL OVER ME. I HAVE HAD IT POUR ALL OVER MY LEGS AND SHOES. *TR

2005 JEEP TJ WHILE FILLING DOES NOT CLICK THE PUMP OFF AND THEREFORE LEAKS AND SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE ROAD CAUSING AN EPA NIGHTMARE. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN FILLING UP. THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEPS DOING THIS BUT THE GOVERNMENT PAYS NO ATTENTION. MAYBE THE EPA IS TOO BUSY WORRYING ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE OTHER THAN FUEL SPILLAGE AND SEEPAGE INTO WATER SUPPLIES...? *TR

2005 JEEP WRANGLER SHAKES VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING ANY MINOR BUMP WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH OR ABOVE. THE VEHICLE MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THE SHAKING WILL STOP. TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACE, WHEEL ALIGNMENT WHICH STOPPED THE SHAKING FOR A FEW MONTHS. THE SHAKING IS BACK AND NOW THE STEERING STABILIZER ARM IS BEING REPLACED JUST TO SEE IF THAT WILL STOP THE SHAKING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS TRYING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON A FREEWAY. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE VEHICLE'S FUEL TANK, AN AIR POCKET IS TRAPPED AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. WHEN THE TANK BECOMES FULL, THIS AIR POCKET RUSHES TOWARDS THE NECK AND OUT TOWARDS THE PERSON FILLING UP THE VEHICLE. EACH TIME THIS OCCURS, FUEL SPEWS ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND SOMETIMES SPRAYS OUTWARD ONTO THE PUMP HANDLE AND ME. THIS IS DANGEROUS NOT ONLY FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, BUT FOR ME FILLING UP THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GET INTO MY EYES/FACE WHEN THE FUEL AND AIR BUBBLE RUSH OUT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND ANOTHER REPUTABLE MECHANIC, AND BOTH SAID THEY COULD PUT A NEW TANK ON, BUT THAT MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE TANKS ON THE WRANGLERS HAVE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM. ALL SENSORS AND VENTS ON MY TANK ARE WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN THE FUEL TANK BECOMES FULL, THE PUMP IS SHUT OFF AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO, BUT ABOUT HALF A SECOND AFTERWARDS IS WHEN THE AIR AND FUEL SPEW OUT. I AM NOT LETTING THE VEHICLE RUN WHILE FILLING UP, NOR AM I TRYING TO TOP THE TANK OFF. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE FUEL TANK OF THIS VEHICLE AND THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP. I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AND THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER I FILL UP. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS HAPPENED TO THE PREVIOUS OWNERS OR NOT, THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS ON THE INTERNET THAT STATE THAT THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF WRANGLER OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.
