Fuel/propulsion System
WHEN YOU FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE AUTOMATIC STOP DOESN'T WORK AND THE GAS SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. I BOUGHT THE JEEP USED ON JULY 11, 2014, AND I JUST HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT HAD 35,000 MILES, NOW I HAVE 70,666 MILES. I WENT ONLINE AND ON THE JEEP FORUM AND YOUTUBE SOME PEOPLE HAD FIXES …

WHEN YOU FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE AUTOMATIC STOP DOESN'T WORK AND THE GAS SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. I BOUGHT THE JEEP USED ON JULY 11, 2014, AND I JUST HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT HAD 35,000 MILES, NOW I HAVE 70,666 MILES. I WENT ONLINE AND ON THE JEEP FORUM AND YOUTUBE SOME PEOPLE HAD FIXES BY BUYING A GM NEW FUEL FILLER HOSE PART #15131046 AND REPLACING IT AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED. ACCORDING TO WHAT I'VE READ THE WARRENTIES WERE EXTENDED FOR 2007 AND OVER BUT NOT THE 2006'S.

FUEL TANK FILLER NECK SPILLS GASOLINE FORCEFULLY OVER THE SIDE, FENDER FLARE AND GROUND, WHICH REQUIRES A SPILL KIT TO BE USED TO CLEANUP THE PUDDLE CREATED BY THIS SPILL. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED BEFORE AND WAS FIXED USING THE SAME FAULTY PARTS WHICH AT THAT TIME WAS UNDER WARRANTY. APPROXIMATELY 4000 MILES LATER THE SAME SPILLING OF GASOLINE OCCURRED BUT DEALERSHIP SAID THE VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $1000 TO REPAIR. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS A POSSIBLY SEVERE INJURY TO MYSELF AS THE GASOLINE COULD FLY INTO MY EYES OR UNTO MY CLOTHES. I DEMAND A COMPLETE NEW FUEL TANK CONFIGURATION AND FUEL FILLER NECK PARTS. TWO EXACT PROBLEMS MEANS FAULTY EQUIPMENT PARTS AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED WITH UPDATED PARTS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS FIXED IS LISTED BELOW.

WHEN SITTING STILL WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND PUTTING GAS IN MY 06 JEEP WRANGLER, THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT KICK OFF QUICK ENOUGH WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND SPILLS GAS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD - IF YOU ARE NOT STANDING BACK, IT WILL SPLASH GAS ONTO YOUR CLOTHES WHICH COULD BE A DANGEROUS PERSONAL HAZARD WITH THE POTENTIAL OF BURNS TO A PERSONS BODY. GETTING IN AND OUT OF A VEHICLE PRODUCES STATIC ELECTRICITY AND COULD BE ENOUGH TO START A FIRE WITH THE JEEP AND POTENTIAL DANGER TO PEOPLE AND PROPERTY. THE JEEP WILL "BURP" GAS EVERYTIME THAT YOU FILL IT - THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. I DO NOT EVEN FILL THE TANK AND LET THE PUMP KICK OFF ANYMORE FOR THIS REASON - IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF YOU WAIT FOR THE PUMP TO KICK OFF.

THE JEEP HAS WHAT HAS BEEN TERMED THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. THE JEEP IS ALL STOCK, NOT LIFTED AT ALL. I HAVE FIRED THE PARTS CANNON AT THE JEEP...ALL THE WORK HAS BEEN PERFORMED BY FACTORY TRAINED TECHNICIANS USING OE PARTS. I HAVE CHANGED THE TIRES TWICE IN 20,000 MILES. THE JEEP GETS A TERRIBLE WOBBLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH (SPEED LIMIT ON 465 IN INDIANAPOLIS) AND CAN ONLY BE BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL BY STOPPING THE VEHICLE. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THE EXCESSIVE WOBBLE, IT IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY. IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE FUEL FILLER NECK OFTEN OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK ALSO. THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME JEEPS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID MY SPECIFIC JEEP DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE FIXING OF THE ISSUE. IT IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO HAVE A FUEL FILLER NECK THAT DOESN'T STOP THE FUEL NOZZLE FROM FLOWING.
