2005 Jeep Wrangler

I AM EXPERIENCING A CONTINUING, DANGEROUS AND WORSENING SPRAYING OF GASOLINE WHEN I FILL THE TANK OF MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. I HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE OF THIS PROBLEM, AND HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES ON IT. I JUST LEARNED THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS WELL KNOWN WITHIN THE JEEP COMMUNITY. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER BEGAN OVERFLOWING FROM THE FUEL INLET DURING REFUELING. IF I AM NOT CAREFUL DURING REFUELING FUEL WILL SPIT OUT FROM AROUND THE NOZZLE AND SPILL DOWN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN DOUSED WITH FUEL ON MY LEGS AND FEET. THE FUEL TANK AUTOMATIC CUT OFF DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2005 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 17,000 MILES. WHEN I FILLED THE TANK, GAS WOULD GUSH OUT OF THE FILLER AND SPLASH ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY (NEW FUEL TANK), WHICH DID CORRECT THE PROBLEM. NOW, AT JUST OVER 51,000 MILES, THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. EVERY TIME I FILL THE VEHICLE, THIS DANGEROUS FUEL SPILL OCCURS. I LIVE IN A VERY DRY (LOW HUMIDITY) CLIMATE, AND IT IS VERY COMMON TO GET STATIC DISCHARGE WHEN TOUCHING ANY CONDUCTIVE SURFACE. I AM FEARFUL THAT I AM GOING TO EXPERIENCE A VEHICLE FIRE IF THIS SITUATION CONTINUES. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT CAUSED A RECALL TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. *TR

MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS AN OVERFILLING PROBLEM EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I USE THE LOWEST SETTING ON THE GAS PUMP OR IF I MANUALLY USE AS LITTLE PRESSURE AS POSSIBLE, IT OVERFILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME AND GAS POURS OUT OF THE FILL SPOUT RUNNING DOWN THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE, ON MY HAND, ON MY CLOTHES AND ON THE GROUND. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND AFFECTS THE 2003-2006 JEEP WRANGLER SERIES. *TR

THIS IS JUST A HEADS UP, HOPEFULLY FROM THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ALSO OF A PENDING MASS FAILURE OF CHRYSLER'S 4.0 MOTORS INVOLVING LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE AND THE POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY MOTOR SEIZURES HAPPENING AT ANY SPEED, ANYWHERE. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE AND IN MY CASE NOT EVEN NOTIFYING ME OF A RECALL(WHICH WOULDN'T HAVE ALLEVIATED THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM) DESPITE MY VIN HAVING THE S INDICATOR IN IT INDICATING IT BEING IN THE RANGE FOR THE RECALL.

CHRYSLER CHANGED THE OIL PUMP DRIVE ASSEMBLY (OPDA) ON 2005-06 MODEL JEEP WRANGLERS. THE OPDA WAS DESIGNED WITH A SEAL PREVENTING OIL FROM LUBRICATING THE UPPER BUSHING CAUSING PREMATURE FAILURES. THESE FAILURES WILL RESULT IN A IMMEDIATE DROP IN OIL PRESSURE CAUSING THE POTENTIAL FOR COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS WILL RESULT IN SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE AND MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY AND/OR BODILY INJURY. CHRYSLER ISSUED A TSB (E05R) ON CERTAIN MODELS, HOWEVER THIS HAS BECOME A LARGER ISSUE.
