2005 Jeep Wrangler

I OWN A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER X MODEL. EVERY TIME I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION, GAS WILL SPRAY PROFUSELY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AT THE SAME TIME AS THE AUTOMATIC CUTOFF. I CANNOT FILL MY TANK WITHOUT GETTING SPRAYED. I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MODEL VEHICLE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, SO I DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. *TR

FUEL SURGES BACK OUT OF FILL TUBE WHILE REFUELING. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME I REFUEL THE VEHICLE. HUGE SAFETY FACTOR BECAUSE ABOUT A QUART OF GASOLINE GETS ON ME, THE VEHICLE, AND THE GROUND. CALLED CHRYSLER TO COMPLAIN AND THEY WILL NOT REPAIR THE ISSUE BECAUSE I'M THE SECOND OWNER. I HAVE HEARD OF NUMEROUS WRANGLER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

JEEP WRANGLER ALWAYS SPRAYS OUT FUEL A SECOND OR TWO AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF SHUTS OFF THE PUMP. FUEL IS SPRAYED ON THE VEHICLE, GROUND, PUMP, AND ANY PERSON STANDING ANYWHERE NEAR THE NOZZLE. IT DOES THIS AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS, AND MULTIPLE PUMPS. RUNNING THE PUMP ON THE SLOWEST POSSIBLE SETTING IS THE ONLY WORKAROUND, WHICH RESULTS IN A SMALL AMOUNT SPILLING ON THE GROUND. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON BOTH MY JEEP WRANGLERS, AND HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. *TR

ON 12/6/09, I PULLED THE LEVEL TO SWITCH TO HIGH BEAMS. I HEARD THE SWITCH CLICK TO HIGH BEAM AND THEN HEARD A CRACK. THE SWITCH WOULD NOT SWITCH BACK TO LOW BEAM. I TOOK THE SWITCH OUT OF THE VEHICLE ON 12/7/09. I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP ON 12/8/09. THEY STATED THERE ARE 1263 ON BACK ORDER IN THE UNITED STATES. THEY DID NOT HAVE ONE BUT WOULD ORDER ONE. THEY DID GIVE ME THE NAMES OF 2 DEALERSHIPS THAT SHOWED THEM IN STOCK. I CONTACTED ONE DEALERSHIP. THEY STATED THAT THEIRS WAS ORDERED FOR A CUSTOMER AND COULD NOT SELL IT TO ME. THE SECOND DEALERSHIP, DARCARS IN ROCKVILLE, MD, STATED THEY HAD ONE BUT WOULD NOT SELL IT TO ME. THEY SAID IT WAS FOR THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HAD 9 ON BACKORDER FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS. I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN UP THE SWITCH TO TRY TO MANUALLY PUT IT BACK IN LOW BEAM. AT LEAST I COULD THEN DRIVE HE VEHICLE UNTIL THE NEW PART ARRIVES. I WAS NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE CASE ON THE SWITCH. I WOULD HAVE TO BREAK THE PLASTIC AND DID NOT WANT TO DO THAT. THE SWITCH IS CHRYSLER PART NUMBER 5016709AD. APPARENTLY, CHRYSLER IS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH ONE OF THEIR PARTS SUPPLIERS. THIS MUST BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE IF THERE ARE 1263 PARTS ON BACKORDER. *TR

2005 JEEP WRANGLER WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS WHEN FULL. IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF AND SPILLS ONTO THE GROUND. THIS DID NOT ORIGINALLY DO THIS BUT HAS HAPPENED OVER TIME ON IT'S OWN. NOT ONLY IS THIS INCONVENIENT BUT IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS. AFTER TALKING WITH OTHER WRANGLER OWNERS AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF THEM ALSO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

JEEP WRANGLERS HAVE A COMMON ISSUE WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK. FOR WHATEVER REASON (BAD PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE?) FILLING THE TANK WILL OFTEN RESULT IN FUEL SQUIRTING BACK OUT THE FILLER NECK ONCE IT IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS SUDDENLY, AND FUEL SHOOTS BACK OUT A GOOD DISTANCE, CAUSING A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITION. I'VE SPOKEN WITH MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AT NIGHT WITH THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS ACTIVATED,THE HEADLIGHT DIMMER SELECTOR FAILED TO FUNCTION WHEN ENGAGED. THE DRIVER CONTINUED OPERATION WITH THE HIGH BEAMS IN ACTIVATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE DIMMER SWITCH. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION DUE TO THE UNAVAILABILITY OF THE MANUFACTURE PART REQUIRED FOR THE REPAIR. THE PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,000. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE.
