  WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS AT CALIFORNIA PUMPS, THE NOZZLE KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW I TRY TO FILL, WHAT ANGLE I TURN THE NOZZLE, OR HOW DEEP I ENTER THE NOZZLE, IT KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. IT TAKES ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO FILL THE TANK, A FEW SECONDS AT A TIME. *JS

• 12/31/2009· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  I OWN A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE IT OFTEN DOESN'T REGISTER THE FACT THAT THE TANK IS FULL AND THE GAS COMES POURING OUT. THE GAS LEAKS ONTO ME, MY JEEP AND THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK. I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT'S BAD TO GET GASOLINE ON YOUR BODY/CLOTHING, IT'S ALSO DAMAGED THE PAINT ON MY JEEP IN THAT AREA AND THE SPILLAGE ON THE GROUND IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND A DANGER FOR OTHERS AS WELL. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. CHRYSLER CLAIMS THEY DON'T SEE IT AS A "SAFETY HAZARD." OF COURSE, IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE IS A FAULTY PART IN THE GAS TANK/GAS TANK ASSEMBLY THAT SOME OF US CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR OUT OF POCKET. IN FACT, WHY SHOULD WE? IT'S A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING BUT I LISTED THE APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE AS THE MONTH I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *TR

  WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER, THE TANK 'SPITS' THE FUEL OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AS IT NEARS THE TOP. THE PROBLEM STARTED JUST RECENTLY. BUT THE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLED IS GETTING LARGER WITH EACH FILL UP. *TR

• 12/30/2009· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  AFTER HAVING MY JEEP FOR 3 1/2 YEARS, EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK (NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION) THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF DOES NOT WORK ON THE PUMP AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF GAS SPILL OUT EVERYWHERE. IT DID NOT DO THIS FOR THE FIRST 3 1/2 YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND IT'S BELIEVED TO BE THE ROLL OVER CHECK VALVE IN THE TANK BEING BAD. LOCATED HERE IS JUST ONE 14 PAGE DISCUSSION: HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F9/GAS-SPILLING-OVER-WHEN-FILLING-872096/ IF THIS IS HAPPENING WITH THIS MANY PEOPLE IT COULD BE A MAJOR FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD AT A GAS STATION. *TR

• 12/29/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  WHEN I TRY TO FILL MY TANK USING THE AUTOFILL OPTION ON THE FUEL PUMP HANDLE, THE FUEL DOESN'T SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND WILL COME SPLASHING OUT IN FORCE. MY SOLUTION THUS FAR IS TO BE AWARE OF THE GALLON AMOUNT AS I FUEL THE VEHICLE, THEN WHEN IT GETS FAIRLY CLOSE, I TRY TO TRICKLE THE FUEL IN SO AS NOT TO SPLASH TOO MUCH FUEL OUT ON TO THE GROUND OR MY PANTS AND SHOES. *KB

• 12/28/2015· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  FUEL SPILLS/SPRAYS OUT OF FILLER WHEN REFUELING. PUMP SHUT-OFF DOES NOT ENGAGE CORRECTLY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS REFUELED AND RESULTS IN EXCESS FUEL SPILLAGE ON VEHICLE AND GROUND.

• 12/28/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH GAS, THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS CAUSES OVERFLOW OF GAS FROM THE TANK. AN INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH JEEP WRANGLERS. *TR

  TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE GAS CAP FAILED AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO PUT FUEL INTO HER VEHICLE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE GAS CAP, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED A YEAR LATER. AS OF DECEMBER 28, 2007, THE DEALER HAD NOT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

  I HAD JUST BOUGHT AN UNLIMITED 2005 JEEP WRANGLER- THE FIRST TIME I STOPPED TO GET GAS I FOUND OUT VERY QUICKLY THAT THERE IS AN OVERFLOW PROBLEM WITH THESE MODELS. EVERYONE WHO IS A JEEP OWNER KNOWS ABOUT IT AND SAYS THERE ARE SOME FIXES, BUT THEY ARE LENGTHY. EVERYONE WHO ISN'T WONDERS WHY IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED AND FIXED. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT COULD POSE A LARGE HAZARD AT GAS STATIONS. *TR

• 12/26/2013· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE,ENGINE

  I TRACED A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE TO THE OIL PUMP DRIVE ASSEMBLY. AS THE ENGINE WARMED UP THE NOISE SUBSIDED BUT CONTINUES TO OCCUR.ON LINE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 05-06 WRANGLERS DUE TO A DESIGN CHANGE FROM 04 TO 05 MODEL YEARS WHERE A BUSHING AT THE TOP OF THE CAM POSITION SENSOR/OIL PUMP DRIVE THAT SEIZES DUE TO LACK OF LUBRICATION AND CAUSES THE DRIVE GEAR ON THE OIL PUMP SHAFT TO SELF DESTRUCT TAKING WITH IT THE CAMSHAFT DRIVE GEAR WHICH CAUSES LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE.DODGE ISSUED THE E05 MAR 2005 CAMPAIGN-ENGINE OIL PUMP DRIVE GEAR/CAM REPLACEMENT. LETTERS WERE SENT TO DEALERS TO REPLACE THE DRIVE GEARS AND CAMS DAMAGED BY THIS PROBLEM. THE NOTIFICATION APPLIES TO THE 4.0 L ENGINE BUILT FROM OCT 20, 2004 TO FEB 1, 2005. MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT MY JEEP HAS AN OCT 9, 2004 BUILD DATE AND IS THEREFORE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE PICTURES I SHOWED HIM OF THE DAMAGE TO THE GEARS IN MY ENGINE. THE DEALER SUGGESTED I TRY CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY REFERRED ME TO NHTSA TO SEEK A RESOLUTION. SO AFTER INVESTING OVER $12,000 DOLLARS A MONTH AGO TO PURCHASE WHAT I EXPECTED WOULD BE A RELIABLE WINTER VEHICLE I INSTEAD HAVE A VEHICLE THAT SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT CAN'T BE TRUSTED ON THE ROAD AND I CAN'T RISK USING IT AND FACING A $4,000.00 ENGINE REBUILD IF IT SEIZES. I NEED SOME HELP. *TR

• 12/23/2014· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  JUST PURCHASED THIS USED JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON ABOUT 2 1/2 MONTHS AGO AND EVERYTIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, FUEL PUKES BACK OUT THE FILLER OPENING AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE ALL OVER THE GROUND BEFORE THE GAS PUMP CAN SHUT OFF. SEEMS REALLY DANGEROUS NOT TO MENTION MAKING A BIG, EMBARRASSING MESS. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE I REFUEL, HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS. *TR

• 12/23/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  WHEN FILING GAS TANK, GAS DOES NOT SHUT OFF BEFORE OVERFILLING AND CAUSING A SPILLAGE ON GROUND AT GAS PUMPS. ALWAYS RUNS OUT AND IS DAMAGING PAINT AROUND FILLER HOLE. *TR

• 12/23/2009· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE, JUST HAPPENED ONE DAY. IT HAPPENED TO ME AROUND 75, 000 MILES ON MY JEEP, AND EVER SINCE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN I PUT GAS INTO MY JEEP THE TANK ISN'T VENTING PROPERLY, WHICH CAUSE GAS TO GUSH OUT THE FILLER OPENING AFTER THE PUMP HAS AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE OR WHEN I FILL UP, IT WILL DO IT EVERY TIME UNLESS I PUMP THE GAS IS REALLY SLOW. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PART. ACCORDING TO OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER ITS A FAULTY ROLL VALVE INSIDE THE GAS TANK. WHICH REQUIRES THE ENTIRE TANK TO BE REPLACED. ACCORDING TO ONE DEALER THIS IS CONSIDERED A NORMAL WEAR ITEM. YET A FAULTY ROLL OVER VALVE SOUNDS LIKE A SAFETY ITEM TO ME. I HAVE HEARD OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH 30K MILES ON THEIR JEEPS. *TR

• 12/23/2009· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  WHEN FILLING UP MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH FUEL, INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF THE FILLER NOZZLE, GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILLER NECK SPILLING GASOLINE ALL OVER THE JEEP AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I REFUEL. *TR

• 12/22/2016· ENGINE

  THIS SPECIFIC PART WAS RECALLED ELEVEN OR SO YEARS AGO. SINCE THAT TIME, THE SAME PART HAS BEEN REPLACED 6 TIMES. ONE TIME REQUIRING A TOTAL ENGINE OVERHAUL. UPON RESEARCHING THIS PART, I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE FAILURE OF THIS SAME MODEL YEAR OF JEEP WRANGLERS AND THIS PART (OIL PUMP DRIVE). WE HAVE POURED OVER $5000 INTO THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THIS PART AND WE STILL HAVE A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT RUN. I HAVE CALLED JEEP THREE TIMES NOW AND THEY HAVE NO ADVICE FOR ME OR OFFER OF ASSISTANCE FOR THIS PART. ENGINE LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. *TR

• 12/22/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE SHUTOFF VALVE TO PREVENT FUEL OVERFLOW DOES NOT APPEAR TO WORK PROPERLY AND THE RESULT IS THAT FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM THE FILLER NECK AND RUNS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT'S FILLED UP REGARDLESS OF HOW QUICKLY OR SLOWLY I REGULATE THE FLOW OF FUEL INTO THE TANK. *TR

• 12/22/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THE PUMP WILL STOP PUMPING GAS BUT THE FUEL WILL SPLASH OUT OF THE FILL PORT ON MY JEEP. THERE ARE MANY YOUTUBE VIDS SHOWING THIS PROBLEM. GAS IS EXPENSIVE SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. *TR

• 12/21/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS FILLED COMPLETELY WITH GAS THE GAS PUMP WILL QUIT PUMPING FUEL BUT 1/2 - 1 CUP OF FUEL SPILLS OUT EVERY TIME AFTER THE FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF. *TR

• 12/20/2016· STEERING

  THIS IS AN UPDATE TO NHTSA COMPLAINT 10919986 - DEATH WOBBLE, I HAVE REPLACED THE STOCK STEERING DAMPER AND ADDED AN ADDITIONAL STEERING DAMPER FOR THE DRIVER SIDE STEERING ROD. THIS HAS RESOLVED THE REPORTED DEATH WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING OVER 50 MPH. ROD DEFLECTION HAS BEEN PREVENTED BY ADDING THE DRIVER SIDE DAMPER. PLEASE MAKE THIS AVAILABLE AS A SOLUTION. I SEE MANY PEOPLE HAVE SPENT WELL OVER $1,000 FOR NEW SUSPENSION PARTS ETC. THIS IS A $60 STEERING DAMPER SHOCK FIX!! PLEASE PASS ALONG. I SHOCKED THIS IS NOT OBVIOUS AT THE DEALER, THE DRIVER STEERING ROD IS LONG AND WILL HAVE DEFLECTION AT HIGH SPEED/BUMPS, LIKE A TUNING FORK. *TR

• 12/20/2016· ENGINE

  THIS IS AN UPDATE TO NHTSA COMPLAINT 10919983 - REGARDING CHRYLSER E05 CAMPAIGN CAMSHAFT REPLACEMENT - I STILL NEED A NEW CAMSHAFT BUT HAVE PERFORMED A TEMPORARY FIX IN REPLACING THE OPDA. THE NEW GEAR ON THE OPDA HAS PREVENTED ENOUGH WEAR GAP FOR THE ENGINE TO NOT GO INTO LIMP MODE AND WILL START IMMEDIATELY WHEN TEMPS ARE UNDER 40 DEGREES F. I STILL NEED A NEW CAMSHAFT TO COMPLETE THIS FIX. I MAY TRY THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE TO RESOLVE, BUT THE E05 RECALL DOES NOT COVER MY MANUFACTURE DATE AND THE CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN CLOSED. I AM STUCK WITH A USED LEMON! BUYER BEWARE OF THIS MODEL YEAR, THERE IS A CAMSHAFT GEAR ISSUE THAT WILL PREVENT ENGINE TIMING TO RUN CORRECTLY AND ABILITY TO PASS EMISSIONS! CODES P340 AND P344 PLUS ENGINE WILL NOT REV BEYOND 2500RPM (LIMP MODE) ARE THE TELL TALE SIGNS. A NEW OPDA IS WORTH A TRY TEMPORARY FIX $80. BUT DO NOT BUY THIS YEAR OR 2004, 2006 WITHOUT CHECKING IF CAMSHAFT HAS BEEN REPLACED, OR PLAN ON DOING SOME MAJOR ENGINE WORK/ENGINE REBUILD.

• 12/20/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  EVERY TIME I FILL MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER, THE FULL HOSE WILL NOT SHUT OFF AND GAS SHOOTS OUT ALL OVER THE FENDER AND THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER I USE THE AUTO SHUT OFF OR HOLD THE NOZZLE, THE GAS STILL SHOOTS OUT CREATING A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. *TR

• 12/20/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  WHEN I WAS AT A GAS STATION THAT DIDN'T HAVE A FUEL VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM ON THE FUEL PUMP HANDLE, FUEL WOULD SPIT BACK OUT WHEN THE FUEL TANK GOT FULL, GETTING FUEL ON THE PUMP HANDLE AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. *TR

  WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE IT WILL NOT STOP THE PUMP AND BEGIN TO OVERFLOW. *TR

• 12/18/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  FUELING STOPPER ASSEMBLY DOES NOT TRIGGER GAS STATION PUMP NOZZLE TO STOP DISPENSING FUEL ON TIME. THE RESULT IS SPILLED FUEL EVERY TIME DUE TO FUEL OVER FLOW FROM FUEL TANK WHEN EVER A FUEL FILL UP IS ATTEMPTED. THIS HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME. *TR

  FUEL SPILLING OVER BEFORE PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN FILLING UP. *TR

• 12/17/2009· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  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

• 12/17/2009· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  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

• 12/16/2010· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  WHEN FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF. IT SPRAYS GAS ALL OVER. THIS IS UNSAFE. ITS A FIRE HAZARD. IT SPILLS GAS INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. ITS COSTS ME MONEY(GAS AIN'T CHEAP). IT IS GONNA RUIN THE PAINT AROUND THE FILLER NECK. JEEP REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNDER RECALL. IT IS HAPPENING ON MANY YEARS AND MODELS OF JEEPS. THIS IS FAR FROM AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE ROLLOVER VENT VALVE. GASOLINE IS SERIOUS STUFF. IT SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH. IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY TANK. JEEP WANTS TO CHARGE THEIR CUSTOMERS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FUEL SYSTEM. I CANT PAY THAT BILL, IT IS WAY TOO COSTLY. *TR

• 12/16/2009· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  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

• 12/15/2013· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  THE VEHICLE WILL SPILL GAS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK EVERY TIME AFTER THE PUMP HANDLE SHUTS OFF. 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. *TR

• 12/15/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  INCIDENT MILEAGE ON MY REPORT IS DUE TO BUYING THE VEHICLE USED, BUT HAS MOST LIKELY OCCURRED SINCE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. DUE TO AN BAD CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK, OVERFILLING OCCURS AT ALMOST EVERY FILL-UP, CREATING BOTH ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS AND POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. *TR

• 12/13/2012· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK TO CAPACITY, GASOLINE WOULD SPILL FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

  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

FROM DAY 1, LIKE MANY OTHERS, WHEN I FILL THE VEHICLE'S FUEL TANK, THE PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF, CAUSING FUEL TO SPRAY / SPILL OUT AND RUN DOWN THE BODY ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE CHECKED INTO. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE DEATH WOBBLE. *TR

• 12/10/2011· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,POWER TRAIN

  2005 JEEP WRANGLER. WELL MAINTAINED. HIGHEST QUALITY OIL, SPARK PLUGS, AIR FILTERS, COOLING SYSTEM. CAMSHAFT FAILURE AT ROUGHLY 50,000 MILES. EXCESSIVE WEAR CAUSING KNOCKING. DIAGNOSIS FROM CHRYSLER: NEW ENGINE REQUIRED. NO OVERHEATING, NO ABUSE. THE OIL PUMP DRIVE ASSEMBLY GEARS ARE WORN DOWN SO OIL IS NOT FLOWING PROPERLY. THIS IS A POSSIBLE CAUSE FOR THE CAMSHAFT FAILURE. THE OTHER POSSIBLE CAUSE FOR THE CAMSHAFT FAILURE IS THAT IT IS A FLAT TAPPET CAMSHAFT FROM THE FACTORY. THIS SPECIFIC TYPE OF CAMSHAFT NEEDS THE ZDDP OIL ADDITIVE. MODERN OIL DOES NOT CONTAIN ZDDP BECAUSE IT CAUSES CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. WITHOUT ZDDP EXCESSIVE WEAR OCCURS. THIS IS COVERED IN SAE BULLETIN # 770087. SAE IS THE SOCIETY OF AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERS. ONCE WEAR REACHES A CERTAIN LEVEL FURTHER WEAR IS RAPID AND CAUSES CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE.FURTHERMORE, MY JEEP IS STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. HOWEVER, MY WARRANTY HAS BEEN UNLAWFULLY DENIED BECAUSE I HAVE SOME UNRELATED AFTERMARKET PARTS ON MY JEEP. LITIGATION IS PENDING ON THIS ISSUE. CHRYSLER HAS GONE AGAINST THEIR OWN WRITTEN WARRANTY, AND WELL AS FEDERAL LAW (MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY ACT). *TR

• 12/10/2010· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS DEVELOPED A FAULTY ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE GAS TANK CAUSING FUEL SPILLS WHEN REFUELING. CHRYSLER DENIES WARRANTY CLAIMS STATING THIS IS NORMAL WEAR.

• 12/09/2010· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  MY GAS TANK OVER FLOWS AND GASOLINE GUSHES OUT EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK AT EVERY GAS STATION. THE GASOLINE PUMP AUTO SHUT OFF VALVE DOES NOT ACTIVATE UNTIL GASOLINE GUSHES OUT PAST THE GAS TANK FILLER NECK AND INTO THE PLASTIC GAS FILL AREA. FROM THERE THE GASOLINE CONTINUES TO LEAK ONTO THE PAINTED BODY OF MY JEEP. NOTABLY, TRYING TO INSERT THE GASOLINE PUMP INTO ALL CONCEIVABLE DEPTHS INTO THE GASOLINE FUEL FILLER NECK HAS NO EFFECT ON THE GASOLINE GUSHING ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM DIDN'T START UNTIL MY JEEP HIT ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER (I AM THE 1ST OWNER). THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE SOMETHING WITHIN THE FUEL FILLING SYSTEM OR POSSIBLY EVAP SYSTEM IS CORRODED, PLUGGED UP, OR OTHERWISE FOULED AS THERE IS NO EXTERIOR DAMAGE. THIS COULD CREATE MULTIPLE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS BOTH AT THE GAS STATION AND ON THE ROAD.

• 12/09/2009· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  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.
