2005 JEEP Wrangler

Fuel gushes out every time I fill my tank, the pumps auto-shutoff feature has never worked since I\'ve owned my wrangler.
the oil pump is making the laughing monkeys sound. I\'m aware there was a small recall sent out however I never received it.

Fuel overflows when filling up at any gas station, automatic shutoff does not engage when tank is full and pump deposits more fuel than is necessary. This flaw is exceedingly frustrating and is difficult to accurately and effectively avoid.

Severe wobble in front end steering components between 50 and 55 mph.

Severe death wobble on highway. Have tried everything cannot find the cause. Vehicle is very dangerous on highway as I may have to suddenly apply brakes hard to gain control of vehicle and that can be a serious problem especially in heavy traffic.

The wheel fell off of the jeep which caused it to go off road, strike a culvert and killed both the driver, my husband, and the passenger, my husband died from head injuries, his head struck the windshield and the airbag did NOT deploy . This happened on September 7, 2014

Fuel overflows when filling the tank. Fuel burps up out of the tank as the pumps auto shut off engages spilling fuel onto the ground, the side of my car, my clothes and my hands.

The fuel shut off does not work. I just purchased this vehicle and filled it up with gas for the first time. The gas shut off didn’t get recognized and gas sprayed every where – all over the vehicle, the ground, and me! This is definitely a safety hazard.

when filling tank gas shoots out on to side of Jeep and on ground very dangerous

not sure if it is classified as steering or suspension but the Jeep has an occasional violent wobble at about 55 mph (Jeep Death Wobble!) I thought that mine was an isolated instance all these years (since 2007 when I bought the Jeep at 30000 miles). I have replaced (multiple times) tires, brakes, rotors, had it balanced and aligned. The dealership where I bought the Jeep said I needed new tires. That did help for a while but the wobble always returns. Now that I am aware that there are thousands of complaints about this beginning at least as far back as the 2003 model – when is Chrysler/Jeep going to find out why it happens and fix it? After a certain number of people die? This is inexcuseable.

Our jeep has developed the “death wobble”. We haven’t been able to find anyone to give us a straight answer on how to fix it and I don’t have thousands of dollars to throw away to attempt to fix it. I am also tired of dealerships telling me its my fault because I modified it. I haven’t. I have the same size tires on as when I bought it except in street and not all-terrain type. One guy even said because I replaced tires, it was modifying. It has become so dangerous we can”t even drive it. My wife nearly wrecked when it caused her to run off the road and she was doing less than 50mph. This is my third set of tires and i can’t afford to keep putting tires on every 25,000 to 30,000 miles. I feel we got screwed over royally. We bought what we thought was one of the best built vehicles that would last. Instead we bought a $30,000 paper weight.

EVERY TIME I fill up my jeep at the gas station I get a sizable overflow. This happens no matter how I fill up, using the auto shut off or pumping slow by hand. not only is this a risk for my personal safety it is a risk to the environment.

I am experiencing Jeep death wobble.. I am just starting on this odyssey but I have read that other people have a hard time fixing this issue. I am getting new tires and alignment this week.

THE SEAT BELT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOES NOT RETRACT BY THE TIME YOU EXIT THE VEHICLE AND CLOSE THE DOOR.

Consumer complaint regarding tire pressure in the 30 inch tires. *ts the vehicle came factory equipped with 30 inch tires, which was an upgrade option from the standard 15 inch tire. however upon having the vehicle serviced the consumer was informed that the tire pressure on the specifications label - 29 psi - was incorrect. the correct tire pressure for the 30 inch tires is 40 psi. the consumer contacted the manufacturer for clarification and was told that the correct tire inflation was actually 38 psi. the dealer informed the consumer that the label was correct and that the listed value of 29 psi is a minimum pressure only. a new label was supposed to be mailed but never arrived. *nm updated 11/16/05. *jb

Gas overflows and spills out of vehicle when fueling.

Jeep has severe death wobble when traveling @60 mph. front wheels will start to vibrate violently at this speed and seems to start when hitting a bump or imperfection in road surface. required action is to apply brakes until shaking stops which could involve a decrease in speed of 15 mph or more creating a dangerous situation especially in heavy traffic. i have had vehicle inspected at three shops with no worn components found. had an alignment performed tires balanced track bar mount replaced control arm mount reinforced replaced steering stabilizer replaced tie rod end replaced sway bar links and still problem is no better. jeep only has 49,000 miles so nothing is really worn too bad. this problem started roughly 10,000 miles ago and i am not sure what to do next other than replacing every steering and suspension component at a cost of probably a cost of thousands of dollars. from what i have read this is a common problem with the coil sprung jeeps with a track bar which seems to be a design flaw. just want to add the vehicle is a safety hazard due to the fact you never know when the wobble will start and if you are in heavy traffic and all of a sudden you have to slam on the brakes to regain control of your vehicle it could be a very dangerous situation. chrysler/jeep needs to remedy this engineering flaw not expect consumers to foot the bill.

Jeep death wobble - mine too, over 50 mph, random wobble other times drives smooth, bumps do initiate it not always though, read all the complaints on nhtsa, stabilizer is key to resolving the issue and steering damper. i believe this design promotes accelerated wear of these parts which is why there are reports of it coming back after a year or so. i'm surprised there is no dealer fix for this, admitting the need for heavier steering components. i'll be getting after market heavy duty just to drive on the street. the fuel issue is another one that should be recalled, had to go through 300 plus entries here to find answers to the opda problem. mine has not started with the fuel issue but at least i will know what it is when it does occur.

Engine codes p0340 and p0344 chrysler campaign e05 replace opda and camshaft - my manufacture date is june 2005, there is 113k on the engine, when the weather is cold (40 f or below) the engine has long start issues, there is play in the opda enough to put the engine in limp mode not revving past 2500rpm. for sure this needs a new camshaft and new opda, both gears are worn. the chrysler campaign only cover up to a feb 2005 manufacture. this should be considered for additional manufacture dates with multiple complaints on nhtsa about this issue.

When having to fill up on gas it is overflowing. even if you set the control on the pump, when you pull out the nozzle, gas is spilling all over the jeep, floor and has even has spilled all over myself. this full tank needs to be recalled for the safety of all consumers.

Catalytic converter: was driving and check engine light went on, vehicle began 'chugging' as though not getting enough fuel. smelled gasoline. called jeep dealer in florida and was advised to let engine cool, then drive to local dealer since it sounded as though the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. stated this as normal for the mileage. emissions warranty valid. (was stationed in naples, italy.) jeep dealer in naples advised he would not honor any warranty and would not fix until i paid him 1k euros. overseas military car sales got involved and said not to worry about it: work would be done and covered by warranty. dealer pulled entire emissions system out and replaced it, then refused to release vehicle for 30 days until i paid the 1k euros. dealer stated he did not have to honor warranty on a us-registered vehicle because fiatchrysler paid him less than he could get from me. threatened to impound vehicle. fiatchrysler refused to assist although dealer was not authorized to pull/replace system unless covered by warranty. florida dealer and selling dealer in wa state advised that if we could have gotten the vehicle home, it would have been a warranty replacement without any problems because it was a common issue at this mileage (53k).

2014: dash and rear lights stopped working. had to replace multi-function switch. module and wiring melted and fused together. 2017: during install of new stereo, mechanic discovered multi-function switch and module melted again. replaced all wiring with heavier gauge, replaced all bulbs with lower wattage leds. wondering when next electrical problem will surface.

July 2016 - 83,000 mi. -failure of oil pump gear drive. repaired by jeep dealer in montrose, co. june 2017 - 88,000 mi. - oil pump gear drive failed again, this time cam shaft gear drive also failed requiring a major engine overhaul. repaired by jeep dealer in montrose, co. researching on internet i discovered this is a reoccurring problem with this vehicle. a recall was issued by jeep/chrysler for a limited number of vin numbers but there are many complaints outside of their recall range, including mine. i contacted chrysler warranty dept but they refuse to make an exception.

I was driving my jeep to work on sunday june 4th going approximately 35mph when my check engine light and check gauges light came on and i had no oil pressure and it was making a horrible noise from the engine bay so i immediately shut the vehicle off. after doing some research i had found that there was an e05 recall on 2005 and 2006 jeeps for the camshaft synchronizer, camshaft gear and oil pump drive assembly. the recall covers all jeeps with the 8th caracter of the vin being letter s which mine is and they also cover specific build dates and my jeep falls 1 month short of those dates but i am experiencing all the same problems as others. i had called chrysler and they are making a case for me but said it is not certain that anything can be done and that i should file on nhtsa as well. i am very dissapointed as well because my 2005 jeep wrangler only has 88k miles on it and id like to get alot more life out of it

When putting gas into the jeep, the nozzle does not automatically shut off and gas overflows out of the gas line (at the point where the cap goes on).

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. while driving, the rpms would not increase past 3,000 rpms. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the oil pump drive needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 57,201.

The 2005 jeep wrangler sport was a total loss after it caught on fire and severely damaged the engine and the inside of the vehicle. it just had the transmission replaced the day before the incident. the vehicle continued to demonstrate transmission issues despite the new transmission (including difficulty shifting and a loss of power while going uphill). while driving uphill, the vehicle's transmission slipped and smoke started pouring out of the engine. the driver immediately put it in park and turned off the engine. the driver ran from the vehicle and saw that there was a fire underneath the car - near the transmission pan. the entire vehicle went up in flames within 2 minutes. unfortunately, it was a total loss by the time the fire department arrived to put out the fire. an investigation will be completed to determine if a transmission fluid leak caused the fire. the jeep wrangler was a right hand drive that was being used on the mail route the day that the fire occurred.

Tl* the contact owned a 2005 jeep wrangler. while driving various speeds, the front driver side wheel fractured and the driver lost control of the vehicle. the driver crashed into a culvert. the vehicle rolled over and landed on its roof in a ditch. the driver side air bags did not deploy. a police report was filed. the driver sustained fatal injuries to the head. the passenger was also fatally injured. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was destroyed and towed. the vin and failure mileage were not available. ...updated 10/19/16 *bf .. ..updated 03/31/17 *bf ...updated 04/11/17 *bf updated 08/08/2017*js updated 09/19/2017*js *tr

When the emergency/ parking brake is on the car will still roll. very dangerous for anyone near it . cannot park on any hill and must always park on flat surfaces or the jeep will roll down the hill. this is how it has been an ongoing problem since i got the jeep into 2005. almost ran over one of my kids the other day because of this.

When filling up the gas tank, gasoline routinely back flows as it gets full. this causes gasoline to spill over the fuel filler door and down the side of the vehicle. i have had the vehicle for three years and since 51k miles were on it. this always happens when refueling.

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

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.

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

Ecu stoped working no reason.

The pcm has a known high failure rate due to the vibration. the components are covered in a resin that you can not remove. the pcm is 500-1300 to get a repaired and reprogramed one. i have a 2005 and the pcm has failed and gives bad performance and does not run on teh 14.7 stokes for air/fuel/ it dumps fuels and i do not think it meets emisson levels in this condition.

Steering stabilizer goes out on average about 20,000 to 30,000 miles with normal street or highway driving. steering wheel starts shaking back and forth and wheels shake violently . i see jeep is now recalling some 2018-2019 jeeps and would like mine fixed too .

Hood flutter when driving at highway speeds at or above 50mph. had to replace latches with a new system to eliminate the flutter and possibility of impending failure.

The vehicle was in motion and pulling from my driveway onto a city street when this happened. both drivers and passenger center sections of the frame rusted from the inside out with no visible indication on the outside of the frame rails. water and debris enter through holes used in the manufacturing process and due to no drain holes in any of the lower points the water and debris rot the frame away. in my case the transmission pan on the drivers side of the vehicle fell free when the bottom of the frame rail on that side crumbled while entering a city road from a private drive at less than 5 mph. damage was done to the transmission, transfer case, one axle, and the rear drive shaft. the vehicle was towed to a private garage but they were unable to place it on a lift to inspect the damage as the frame would have crumbled and snapped in additional places thus creating a hazard and possibly deadly situation the technician inspecting the damage. the vehicle was then placed on a flatbed and brought back to my home.

: i am the owner of a 2005 jeep wrangler. for the last 10+ years my accelerator has stuck at full throttle 5-7 times. every time i have taken it to a shop - they have test driven it but no sticking. last wednesday (5/22) at a 4 way stop sign my accelerator stuck again at full throttle & i hit a car. no one was hurt, but i was given a citation with witnesses to the accelerator being stuck. the man at the shop told me his jeep wrangler had a recall for the same issue. i contacted jeep corporation & filed a report (case [xxx]) with a worker "aly". she told me to park my jeep and an inspector would be there to investigate. that was more than a week ago & 5 calls to 1-877-426-5337. can you help me? my insurance co. wants me to get estimates for my damage but i don't know if i can drive on the road due to the accelerator sticking & not being inspected by jeep recall inspectors. please help me...….

My wrangler has sever rust damage on the frame, windshield frame, passenger rocker, and firewall. the frame has rotted from the inside out and caused the transfer case mounting bolts to pull through. the vehicle was in motion when this happened but luckily i was pulling out of my driveway and not on the highway headed to work. the windshield frame rust caused holes that allowed water to leak inside the vehicle causing the floor to rust from the inside out as well. these issues continue to happen again and again with each new revision to this model. when and what will it take for the company to be held accountable to their negligence?

Jeep started stalling either when parked or in traffic. dealership says its the powertrain control unit (pcm or computer). twice engine stalled as i was driving. once as i was making a turn luckily had enough momentum to pull over and another time getting ready to proceed after a red light it stalled all of a sudden and again able to pull over. i have found many jeep owners with this same problem and i am aware jeep is aware but nothing has ever been done. started mothers day 2018 and a few times up till july when i just parked it and had it towed to 3 shops including dealership.

The poor design of the gas tank rollover safety float ball in this vehicle continues to allow gasoline to splash back out of the gas filler neck of the vehicle every single time at an auto shut off fueling nozzle is used. this is a known defect but which they offered a remedy that had an age or mileage limit. this is a gross safety hazard and should warranty t a recall before some one blows up.

Takata recall, oil pump drive gear, pcm powerterrain control module i believe needs to be reprogrammed i have a failure of power while driving down the road like its getting to much or to little fuel and last week my oil pressure will not budge my gauges are slowly going out on my dash and the airbag light on dash blinks rapidly with the check gauges because of my old pressure i have taken it to multiple places to get it diagnosed and they say it is the oil pump drive gear and the pcm needing to be reprogrammed along with that being out of line my ground connections seem to be bad but i replace all of them from the battery to the engine block the dash and a couple more it has pressure but doesn’t sound like it. all of this started happening at about 143,000 miles i have replaced multiple parts including the oil pump oil sensor all of the ground wires and terminals and checked as many relays as i can. along with my dash when i had got it it had 130,000 miles on and the airbag light has always blinked and noticed a loss in power when i drive since i’ve had it, it runs through spark plugs and coils packs monthly and has since i’ve gotten it i drove it to georgia and back and it sounded like it was getting worse and just kept getting worse and worse until last week my oil pressure gauge says i have no pressure and the engine has oil pressure but you can tell it’s going more and more out of line. i know when i look up my vin number it says it’s been updated since march 14, 2019 but when i log into another app it says i have recalls i don’t know what to do or how to fix it but it definitely is the three recalls that was put on the 2005 jeep wrangler tj.

I get a code that pops up after being on the highway for a time that says something regarding transmission. also the transmission is slow to shift between drive and reverse sometimes and grinds (auto trans). there have been multiple reports of pcm issues that require rebuild or replacement but availability is scarce. could be poor design.

005-2006 jeep wranglers are incurring an apparent large number of pcm/ecu failures (as evidenced in many online forums and a high backlog of pcm orders which jeep/chrysler is unable to fill or provide an eta for). the failure of the pcm reveals itself in many ways including emissions system failures (and resultant vehicle inspection failures i will add), transmissions failing to shift, hard forceful transmission shifts with vehicle lunges and more. on my vehicle specifically the transmission codes are coming on and the vehicle will randomly not shift out of second gear and randomly shifts to neutral while driving at highway speeds and presents itself as a safety hazard when entering high speed freeways and interstates. to the pcm and further online investigation indicates this a frequent and recurring issue. when i attempted to replace the pcm through jeep/chrysler i am unable to because the part is ba cklogged. i have placed a pricey $1600 order for the part but thus far over 3 months my vehicle has not been able to obtain a working replacement part based on the large number and type of issues reported online with this pcm i am left wondering why it is not a safety, emissions and/or recall issue.

Every time i fill the gas tank fuel spills out the filler neck causing a significant fuel spill. the jeep is stationary and on level ground at the gas station

Every time i fill the vehicle with gasoline, when the pump shuts off a large amount of gasoline “burps” out and onto the ground. this is due to a faulty check valve installed from the factory that stops working because of the ethanol in the fuel. jeep has recalled later wranglers for this same issue but left us 2005-2006 owners stuck with the issue. this is a safety, health, and environmental hazard. i will be glad to send you a video of this happening.

The seat belt is situated in a position to where it is regularly smashed against the striker plate on the door when the door is closed. this breaks the fibers in the belt thereby weakening the belt and making it very prone to breaking in the event of a frontal impact where the belt would be most needed.

When refueling my jeep has always belched gasoline back out of the fuel filler neck when the gas pump automatically shuts off when the tank gets full. this could easily cause a disaster & my wife is afraid to put fuel in it. i thought that mine was the only one to do this, but talking with other owners, i have discovered that all similar jeeps have the same dangerous defect.

Transmission kept popping out of reverse and wouldn't go into reverse, had to have it replaced.

At 45-50 mph the steering wheel shakes violently. it has the "death wobble".

Gas tank overflow. anytime i fill my tank, a large amount of gasoline shoots back out of the tank, dripping down the side of my car, and often splashing me or gas attendant. not only is this dangerous, it is also damaging the plastic and paint on my car, as well as wasting gas.

I have noticed that almost every manufaturer is recalling air bags from years 2002 and up, i called chrysler and they said the vehicle is too old and not enough of them are still around, which is not true. there are lots of older jeeps still in service as off road vehicles, but mine is a daily drive vehicle. how do i know if mine will work when needed? knock on wood it will never be needed, but i would like to know i'm safe with my family. my 2005 wrangler is strong

I bought 4 new tires from discount tire in jacksonville florida. they are p235/75 r15 108s xl owl ptf pathfinder sport sat. i paid $100 for each tire on august 22, 2015 (not including cost of installation, lifetime balancing, etc) and they were supposed to come with a 60,000 mile warranty. currently they have less than 28,000 miles on them and have extremely irregular wear. i have had numerous flats and loss of pressure over the past 24 months. i spoke to charles (the manager of the tire store) when i was in there with my 3rd flat in 2 months on december 4th, 2017. i expressed my displeasure at having so many issues with relatively new tires. charles responded that my trouble is because of the recent hurricanes...and i should have bought michelin tires! these tires are extremely inferior quality products, but he says it's normal wear for these tires. can you help?

While filling with fuel, it will spit fuel back out and will not fill with gas properly. have tried going as slow as possible on the fuel lever while fueling and will still spit gas back out like there is a problem in the fuel filler hose and flap inside it.

Over a period of several days the vehicle started shifting hard and eventually went into "limp" mode and started throwing different codes for various sensors. after many visits to different mechanics i researched the problem myself and pinpointed the pcm as the problem.

2005-2006 jeep wranglers are incurring an apparent large number of pcm/ecu failures (as evidenced in many online forums and a high backlog of pcm orders which jeep/chrysler is unable to fill or provide an eta for). the failure of the pcm reveals itself in many ways including emissions system failures (and resultant vehicle inspection failures i will add), transmissions failing to shift, hard forceful transmission shifts with vehicle lunges and more. on my vehicle specifically the o2 sensor codes are coming on and the vehicle will randomly not shift out of second gear which presents itself as a safety hazard when entering high speed freeways and interstates. the o2 sensors were replaced new with oem parts and the codes did not go away. the fault was traced by a reputable mechanic (christian brothers automotive) to the pcm and further online investigation indicates this a frequent and recurring issue. when i attempted to replace the pcm through jeep/chrysler i am unable to because the part is backlogged. i have placed a pricey $1600 order for the part but thus far (1 week) i have not been provided with an eta or any answers as to why this design defect has not been addressed. based on the large number and type of issues reported online with this pcm i am left wondering why it is not a safety, emissions and/or recall issue. my specific pcm pn is r6044529ac but multiple variations of the pn appear to be effected.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. while pulling into a parking space, the brake pedal extended to the floorboard while attempting to stop the vehicle. during the incident, the brake sensor indicator illuminated and the driver had to engage the parking brake to stop the vehicle. upon inspection, it was discovered that brake fluid had leaked near the rear driver's side wheel. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the rear driver's side wheel brake cylinder failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer and local dealer (bayside chrysler/jeep in queens, ny) were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 151,000.

As the fuel tank is being filled with fuel and the fuel pump cuts off when the tank is full, the tank allows a significant amount of fuel to be "burped" out of the fuel filler onto the vehicle, ground, and the person filling the vehicle. this occurs every time the tank is filled at every fuel depot.

'death wobble" the jeep shakes uncontrollably between 50 and 55 mph making speed and steering very hard to control. no one seems to know what causes it. been to many jeep mechanics.

Also fuel tank overflow shutoff valve does not work. when filling up gas tank, fuel overflows on car and person pumping gas every time the tank is filled. multiple years of jeep wranglers were recalled, including many 05's for this same problem.

Vehicle will not shift into 3rd gear. this started while driving the vehicle in town and now only runs in 1st and 2nd gear. diagnostic code p0765 (shift solenoid d) is the only code showing. other (03-05) jeeps were recalled for the same problem.

When filling fuel tank, fuel comes out without warning and spills all over the ground and the vehicle. when adjacent to a hot brake caliper, this could create a fire hazard. about a pint of fuel is spilled with every fill-up. if the operator tries to listen for the fuel to come up the filler to stop, there is a splash and eye hazard.

Was crossing a busy 4-lane st rt when the throttle cable came apart and propulsion was lost. nearly got t-boned by oncoming traffic. a multi-car pileup was narrowly averted. vehicle has only 85,000 miles. throttle cable frayed just inside the firewall in the passenger compartment. it has no history of accidents or repairs on this assembly. no warning. very scary experience. stranded in the middle of the road, perpendicular to traffic.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. while pumping fuel into the vehicle, fuel spewed out. the failure recurred numerous times. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the rollover check valve needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 54,000. the vin was unknown.

While in motion on a country road, comming out of some turns the front end/stearing suddenly began shaking hard rendering the vehicle unable to control. the vehicle then began to swerve until hitting an enbankment and rolling multiple times.

When filling fuel will not shut off causing fuel overflow, which shoots out of fuel filler hose.

When you fill the tank with gas, the pump doesn't shut off resulting in gas leaking onto the side of the vehicle as well as the ground. it looks like there have been multiple complaints about this problem from others that have this same vehicle. image read it is a faulty design and faulty ivc .

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.

Gas overflows when filling gas tank. when auto fill lever is engaged and tank is full gas burps and overflows spilling on ground

Like all the other jeep wranglers mine cannot fill up with gas without the gas overflowing out of the filler neck. this causes pollution, damages the finish of the car as well as a major safety issue. please make them recall this gas issue as the flapper in the line gets stuck open. at least that is what all the forums seem to say. if you want to see what it looks like just go to youtube --> https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jeep+wrangler+gas+overflow or put in any other similar search. the majority of the jeeps on the road have this issue.

When fueling up and the hand pump clicks off, gas continues to shoot out of the fuel tank. its enough to leave a small puddle on the ground not to mention all over the rear of my jeep and it has stained my new fender flare. i understand this has been an ongoing problem with jeep wranglers.

When refueling the pump does not shut off before gas spills out of the fuel inlet.

When fueling vehicle tank overflows leaving gasoline on side of vehicle, on self (hands, clothing, shoes, etc.). not only is this uneconomical, but unsafe, unhealthy, and environmentally unsound. i originally brought my vehicle in for repair in may of 2010, the dealer claimed the evaporation canister was clogged so they replaced the canister and filter for almost $300. four months later, in october of 2010, i was having the exact same problem and returned to the dealer. they then claimed the roll over valve was stuck in the open position and i now needed a new fuel tank for almost $800. i declined and was charged $100 for their trouble. i now don't ever fill the tank completely. i have found numerous complaints about this problem online in different forums and now here on this website. i do believe jeep needs to be held responsible for this obviously ongoing problem.

When filling the vehicle with gas it does not automatically stop filling when the tank is full, which results in gas squirting out of the filler. this happens every time i get gas. getting gas on myself, my clothes, my shoes and down the side of my vehicle is not on my to do list. jeep/chrysler should issue a recall or notice to fix this issue. this issue is a fire hazard and is not safe for whomever is pumping gas.

Everytime, while filling my tank fuel will spill out as the auto shut off engages on the pump. fuel will spill out onto the ground, my clothes, my hands and the side of my jeep. i am not attempting to top off my tank when the issue occurs, it happens every time i fill my tank however i hold the handle when the auto shut off engages.

When filling up the fuel tank the back flow preventer does not work and up to a cup of gasoline will spill out of the nozzle leaving a flammable mess that needs to be cleaned.

Regarding my 2005 jeep wrangler, this has been an ongoing issue for the past two years or more. fuel system/tank overflows when attempting to fill the tank. instead of stopping, gas spews from the fill valve onto the vehicle, ground, and person filling the tank. this is not only unsafe and uneconomical, but bad for the environment and ones health.

Tl* the contact owned a 2005 jeep wrangler. the contact stated while driving approximately 65 mph, smoke emitted from underneath the vehicle. the vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road, where the engine was turned off and then the front end and underneath the vehicle ignited into flames. the contact exited the vehicle safely and noticed that the transmission fluid leaked onto the ground. the fire department extinguished the flames and informed the fire originated within the transmission. a police report was filed. the vehicle was destroyed and towed to an independent mechanic. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

Unless i stop fueling prior to a complete fill up, gas will spill out. i have mentioned this to a couple different jeep service advisors at my local dealerships they are not aware of what is causing it. this can be extremely dangerous and needs to be addressed by chrysler.

So was driving my jeep when i stoped lost all oil pressure dropped to 0 pressure when accerlerated oil pressure went back but continues to drop to 0 when stopped i have replace the oil pressure switch with no change .i have researched online and this seems to be a problem with most 2005 heep wranglers so my question is is when is enough /enough when are you going to recall and do the right thing?

My jeep started making a very loud noise when driving. the more gas i gave it the louder it got and now it is un drivable due to a distributor oil pump. biggest problem is all the jeep parts people had no idea what the part it was and now they do not have any in the system nor can they tell me when they can have me one. there is a lot of complaints regarding this, stand up and do right for us jeepers!

At any refueling, before the fuel pump auto shut off is engaged, there is fuel spit back out of the fuel filler. it runs down the corner panel and behind the left rear fender flare, as well as onto the ground. depending on what setting you have the pump handle set to (high, medium, low), depends on how much fuel is spat back out. *tr

Fuel filler shut of flap does not shut off fuel filler resulting in gas spilling out of vehical on to the ground. *tr

Since purchase in november, this vehicle has always shot fuel out of the fuel filler when it reaches a full tank. the gas pump will shut off, but never before it has expelled fuel onto me personally, my shoes, the ground, the filler cap (which is attached to the vehicle by tether), and down the body panel below the filler. this is a serious fire and health hazard for myself and other patrons of the fuel station. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that fuel would spill from the tank each time the vehicle was re-fueled. the failure recurred multiple times. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer. it was diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 28,000.

The bushing that attaches the transmission shifter linkage cable broke and the transmission was rendered inoperable. this situation has hundreds of incidents detailed on the internet and jeep should be forced to recall the effected vehicles since this is obviously a defective design and manufacturer part. chrysler/jeep is being dishonest with consumers by saying they have not heard of the problem, yet the parts manager at my dealership told me this is a well documented issue and jeep is aware of the problem. also associated with this issue, is the defective shifter tube sleeve nylon insert that cracks. this is also well documented on the jeep forums. jeep is aware that both parts are defective and they should be forced to fix the problem free of charge for owners. please help! *tr

Every fill up the fuel splashes back out of the fill tube, spilling about a cup of fuel down the side of the vehicle and onto the ground.this happens regardless of the fill rate. i have looked the fuel system over to the best of my ability, and can't come up with the cause. *tr

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

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

Happens periodically, no forewarnings just happens, always when going slow or reversing like to park or back into parking spot.....unintended acceleration....scares the bejebers out of the person driving, since you never know when it's gonna happen.....i bought the jeep used (like maybe a year old) with 14,--- miles on it...now have about 52,--- miles on it....all street driving, no off road driving..has happened from the beginning when i bought it... *tr

Turned my jeep on and the check engine light, sentry key light, fuel light came on and fuel gauge went to 0, jeep ran for approx 30sec and shut off. fuses were checked, nothing found out of place. tried it again, same thing happened. was towed to dealership to check and fix. was informed that the main wiring harness near an o2 sensor was "fried" and that wires were fused and melted together. granted, my jeep is 9 years old, but this is a design issue, not a wear and tear issue. why would wiring be placed close enough to a heat source to where it's able to catch fire and fuse together? *tr

While fueling my jeep, fuel came spewing from the filler neck before the pump shut off. this caused approximately 1/8 gallon of fuel to spill on my vehicle and myself. while driving after this incident i had to pull over and get out of my vehicle as i was becoming disoriented from exposure to the fuel/fuel vapors that spilled on me. luckily i was able to realize quickly that my level of alertness was deteriorating and was able to pull over, roll down my windows, and allow the fumes to dissipate. i feel that this is a very big safety concern that could cause a serious accident if not addressed and fixed quickly. *tr

Every time when fueling the car, the gas tank overflows. the shut off valve is faulty. the jeep boards have many documented incidents of this occurring. the car is a 2005 but only has 20,000 miles on it. there are recalls for 2007 and newer but nothing for my car which is a 2005. the response from jeep is it is the fault of the gas. ethanol causes the shut off valve to expand. from my perspective it's faulty engineering. *js

While filling up at a gas station, the fuel pump did not "automatically shut off" and shot roughly 1/4 gallon of gasoline out on the side of the vehicle and on the ground. thoroughly cleaned vehicle but still smelt gasoline vapors inside of the cab for 30 minutes with the window down. did some research and found it is due to the vehicle's icv becoming stuck in the open position, which builds pressure inside of the gas tank, allowing the filler neck to fill with gasoline, and then releases the pressure which propells the gasoline out of the filler neck and onto the ground. in order to fix this problem i must replace the entire gas tank. *tr

Every time i fill-up, gas blows out of the filler neck, about 3 to 6 oz. *tr

My 2005 jeep unlimited rubicon (tj) has overflowed fuel for years. the fuel pump continues to flow until fuel has overflowed the tank and fuel pours onto the ground. chrysler has covered this under warranty for other year jeep wranglers. my year is not covered and the repair is over $900.00. i was told this is just a malfunction of a valve in the fuel filler pipe. and is caused from a poor design. *tr

Every time you fuel the vehicle, it overflows gas badly as the pump cuts off. this happens regardless of the pump or location that i buy fuel from. it dumps gas all over the side of the car and on the ground. significant amount of gas spills out. *tr

This is second time this has happened; it has happened to me at least 4 times since 11/30/2013. i was accelerating, and when i hit about 50mph, my left tire hit a small pot hole. my front end began shaking violently; my steering wheel was literally bouncing in my hands and i could not actively control the jeep. the shaking would not stop until i slowed down to about 5 miles per hour on a busy roadway. i almost caused an accident. this jeep has a shimmy/wobble that occurs on some bumps. some lead to the "death wobble," and others do not. the shaking is so intense that the front end felt like it was going to come apart. i have new tires, and the vehicle was just purchased used from the dealership, after having received a full service. i took it into the jeep dealership that confirmed that everything looked ok, and the bushings were fine. *tr

When refueling, once the fuel tank is full the service station fuel supply hose nozzle clicks off, then a surge of fuel expels from the jeep fuel tank fill port splashing onto the vehicle exterior, onto myself, and onto the ground. this is a serious fire hazard. it appears to be a common problem with the jeep wrangler across many years, with no resolution to date. *tr

Tank overflows and sends gas flying through the air, all over the person pumping, and the ground, at every fill up. *tr

Spits fuel every time i fill up, no matter where or how slowly i fill it. 3-5 ounces of fuel spit back out every fill up, on first auto shut off occasionally fuel is expelled forcefully enough to splash on objects18-24 inches away. *tr

While filling the vehicle the gas pump shuts off and then fuel comes pouring out of the fuel fill on the vehicle. there are lots of complaints online regarding this issue with jeep and this has the potential for severe injury and property damage due to the fuel spilling on the ground and possibly exploding. *tr

When filling up the gas tank the gas pump automatically switches off when the tank is full (like it does with any other car), however with the jeep gasoline immediately gushes out of the filler hole. i'd estimate that at least a pint to a quart of fuel spills (and sometimes sprays) out. if someone is standing near-by they will get soaked with gasoline. this doesn't always happen, but seems to be occurring more frequently. not only is this an inconvenience, it's an environmental hazard and a fire risk. what happens if someone's pant-leg gets soaked in gasoline (as has happened to me) and then they pick-up a mild static charge when entering/ exiting the vehicle (which is not uncommon). someone is going to get hurt. i cannot let anyone put gas in the jeep (like my wife). anyone who is not familiar with this 'quirk' will likely get soaked with fuel at some point when filling up the jeep. *tr

Death wobble!!!! started about dec 2011 around speeds of 55-60 mph. car will suddenly start to violently shake. when viewing from behind in another car it appears as if the wheels may come off. i have replaced the shocks, struts, stabilizer bar, track bar, springs, spacers, calipers, hubs, new tires, balance and rotate tire every 5000-6000 miles, new front brakes, new back brakes, two rear alignments, 3 front alignments, and rotors, i death wobble has gone from bad to dangerously worse. my wrangler is a factory right hand drive jeep that i use to deliver mail. i was using as my primary car as well. i must drive 25 miles to work via interstate and then another 65 miles on my route. the car consistently shakes when i hit speeds of 45 mph or higher. a bump in the road will trigger the wobble as well. i spoke to two different jeep dealerships today and was told that there is no solution to my problem. i have been to at least 6 different mechanic shops, one off road shop, and two different alignment shops. i was told that i could try replacing the gear box ($899.99) and also try replacing my rims! if the maker of my vehicle has no idea on what or how to fix it........then who will? i would like to resolve my death wobble. i am extremely annoyed! i no longer feel safe driving my car to and from work and when it rains i am a nervous wreck just knowing i will have to drive my jeep on the interstate. sadly its gotten to the point that i will not allow any of my kids in this vehicle. i end up having to leave my jeep at work in another town if my husband isn't able to drive it to and from work for me. i am willing to fix the problem.......if jeep would just let me know what that is!!!! in good conscious i could never sell and stick someone else with this problem/headache!! also, when i fill my jeep up with gas, it overflows splashing gas everywhere! *tr

When gas tank is filled completely at a gas station. the pump kicks off and then fuel proceeds to spill back out of the jeep. it seems to be about 8 oz or so. *tr

I had my fuel tank replaced by jeep a little over 2 years ago for the "roll over valve" problem - faulty fuel tank design that jeep refuses to acknowledge that its a common problem. as well as a safety and environmental hazard -- every time the gas pump clicks off, fuel violently shoots all over the paint, ground, and my person. the replacement tank has started doing this again after maybe 20,000 miles! jeep replaced a faulty, hazardous part with another. this is an outrage that every time i go to the gas station i have to worry about fuel shooting all over the place, its embarrassing as well. i made an nhtsa complaint the first time but i am making another since the replacement part is doing the exact same thing! *tr

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

Every time since purchasing my jeep on nov 26th 2013 when filling the fuel tank as it clicks off fuel spits out of the filler neck and on to the body and on the ground. even when manually filling it spits fuel out before you can release the nozzle. if you are standing in the wrong position it lands on your clothes and shoes. this creates a safety risk of fire as well as the environmental damage.

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

When i go to fill up when it gets full it spills out of the top all over side of jeep and ground saw there is others out there having same problem very unsafe. i am second owner jeep should doing something about this. please help.

The gas tank of my 2005 jeep rubicon overflows every time i refuel, because it does not shut off the gas when the tank is full. this has been a recurring problem cited by many other jeep owners (as chrysler must be aware). this malfunction is dangerous, wasteful, and environmentally damaging. please live up to the reputation that jeep owners appreciate and respect regarding our jeeps. quality and reliability are important to us--or we would not buy jeep vehicles. devoted jeep owners shouldn't have to beg for assistance to rectify a design flaw.

Had been noticing a plastic burning smell for a couple months, never found a cause or anything not working properly. driving home early one morning i noticed my headlights were not working, the brights worked and so did the fog lights, but no low beams. after looking on jeep forums and noticing a lot of people were having the same problem i decided to take the cover off my column and take a look. the wiring harness connected to my multifunction switch was burnt, proof of at least one small electrical fire, if not multiple small fires. i cannot be the only one with this problem, multiple posters on jeep forums have reported similar events. *tr

Each and every time i fill the vehicle up with gasoline, the fuel spills out of the gas tank all over the vehicle. it has ruined my fender flare not to mention the gasoline on the ground as a result of the faulty gas tank. this happens every single time i fill up the vehicle (regardless of the gas station). the only way to stop this is to handle it is in a manual process (not using the pump handle switch to keep pump on), however that still does not stop the fuel from filling out the tank. this has ruined some of my clothes and as mentioned, is creating plenty of pollution every spill. this is a common problem with wranglers as it is commonly reported in online forums. i am asking for chrysler's assistance in getting this issue addressed and the fuel tank replaced. *tr

Fuel spits out of the refuel receptacle every time i fill the tank. *tr

Each time i fill up my gas tank with fuel, the fuel overflows out of the tank. as i am not the original owner of the vehicle, i am filing this complaint only after learning from many other jeep owners they also experience this issue. it seems very dangerous for this amount of fuel to be spilled (and spewed) from the gas tank, the only way to prevent it is to monitor the gallons going in and stop it manually which, unfortunately, is not always a successful approach. thanks! *tr

Hi, apparently my situation isn't unique, i have a 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited with less than 70k miles. at about 50mph it starts shaking violently, this has happened to me at least 5 times since i've owned this jeep, about 2 1/2 months. i took it to the tire shop and they inspected the tie-rod ends and found no problem. it was shaking so bad i thought that surely my front end was coming apart so, i googled my problem and was led to a plethora of information and found the term "death wobble", i thought it felt like driving over railroad tracks, but death wobble seems to also be an appropriate term as well, because the front end seems to be shaking to death. i, like so many others, went to kevin's off road, kor, website and read about the potential causes and cures. in my particular case there hasn't been any aftermarket modifications, it's as stock as they come. anyway, kevin's recommended solution to my "wobble" is to replace the track bar, the steering damper, control arms and bushings. the cost for this is around $366 for the parts and i'm not sure what the labor costs will be. it seems to me that maybe someone at chrysler should actually go drive one before they say "it's not our fault". they should be part of the solution since they created the problem. my 1989 jeep doesn't have this problem, leaf springs vs. independent coil springs, perhaps,... a smoother ride but at what cost? $366 plus labor for me. can you please help apply pressure to chrysler to make this right? thanks for your time and interest. *tr

I bought this vehicle used and noticed that when filling the tank it actually splashes fuel out of the fill tube every time the gas station nozzle clicks off when full. i have driven this jeep from north carolina to michigan and used several different styles of nozzles from gas stations in many states. i have attempted to slow the fuel delivery, angle the nozzle differently, stop early and resume filling. the result is always the same. enough fuel to run down a square foot area on my car and leave a puddle on the ground will always shoot out under pressure. i end up with gas on my car, on me and on the ground. this can not be considered safe for my well being or the environment. i have been told that i need to replace my gas tank, a $1200 repair, to fix the problem. *tr

When refueling my jeep, fuel was expelled from the filer neck at the same time the fuel pump cut off automatically. i was covered in gasoline this time after the fuel was expelled from the tank. this has happened on every refill starting about 6 months ago but the first time i have been doused with fuel. the jeep dealer indicated that a recall had been initiated on hundreds of wranglers but not the 2005 jeep wranglers for the same problem. this is an incredibly dangerous situation and the consumer needs your help!! many online articles from organizations like edmunds and consumer reports has indicated this is a serious problem and the problem needs to be identified by your organization and chrysler needs to recall the vehicles. *tr

Every time i go to fill up my gas tank- once the fuel pump reaches the full amount the fuel starts coming out of the tank spilling all over the side of my wrangler and sometimes on my shoes. even when i slow pump the gas into the tank, once it reaches a certain point (which i can never tell because most vehicles make the gas pump click off once full) it almost always automatically purges itself. *tr

I was driving down a straight road at about 47 mph when i my steering wheel started shaking uncontrollably. it seriously felt as if my wrangler was going to shake the steering wheel and tires right off. the only way i able to stop the shaking was to pull over and slow down, then as soon as i hit 47 mph this happened all over again. did some research on this and they call it a "death wobble," and this has been associated with jeep wranglers for some time now. but for some reason chrysler doesn't want to acknowledge the severity and dangerous nature of this malfunction. this kind of defect could kill someone! *tr

Whenever jeep reaches speeds of 50 mph and hits a bump front wheels and steering wheel shakes violently. you must slow at once to get it to stop. after asking other jeep owners i have found this to be a common problem. went to the jeep dealer and was only given a service bulletin and no answers. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that the fuel tank filler neck and when refueling, the fuel would spill to the ground. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and the fuel tank filler neck was replaced however, the failure was not corrected. the fuel continued to spill to the ground as the fuel tank was being filled. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 75,344 and the approximate current mileage was 76,000. updated 04/30/13*lj the dealer ordered a new fuel tank.

In trying to start my vehicle, a part inside of the ignition broke. i am told i cannot get the part that broke and i must purchase an entire steering column to replace this part in between the key and the electrical component that starts my vehicle. it is a small part, and i cannot see having the entire steering column to replace this small part. i am told by chrysler that the cost to repair this is about $800.00. i think this is entirely unreasonable and irresponsible on the part of the manufacturer. this part is used daily and should not fail after 60,000 miles of wear. my seven year / 70,000 mi warranty has just expired and i am appalled that such a large company cannot afford to fix or even stand behind their product. this is obviously a defective piece of equipment to have failed so prematurely. it is used every time you start this vehicle, and upon closer examination of this part, it seems that it is made of sub-standard material to be a part that must endure daily use.

About 1 year ago the gas tank started over flowing when i put gas in. i initially thought it was a pump problem but it got worse over time. when i fill the tank it over flows about a cup of gas. when i contacted the dealer they knew about the problem and said it happens on some jeeps. the problem is the roll over valve sticks open. the only fix is to replace the complete gas tank - $1,250.00. neither the dealer nor chrysler would take responsibility for fixing the problem although chrysler acknowledged it was a design defect not a manufacturing defect. if there are 1 million jeeps on the road with this problem, their drivers fill up once a week, and spill a cup each that amounts to 60 thousand gallons of gas dumped into the environment a week. seems like chrysler should be more concerned about the problem and either you or the epa should encourage them to take ownership. *tr

When i fill up my tank at the gas station, the auto fill won't click off until the gas tank is overfilled, and sprays out, then runs down the side of my jeep. it doesn't matter if i use their auto fill notches and walk away or hold it by hand, the gas wont click off until the tank has overflowed. it spills between a liter and a pint each time. *tr

When filling gas tank, gas will overflow out of tank, this has happened since vehicle was brand new. *tr

I just bought this jeep 2 weeks ago, every time i go to fill up with gas, no matter which gas station i am at the gas always comes spewing out. i have tried many things, even positioning the gas handle at different angles ect. i have done a lot of research and it seems this is a faulty fuel tank/evap. that needs to be replaced to fix this. i have talked to dealer ships saying that the tank needs to be replaced. in my opinion this should be a recall. my jeep only has 37000 miles on it, and i already have to replace the fuel tank!? i think jeep/chrysler needs to foot the bill on this one... *tr

Fuel spill occurs during fill ups. fuel will spill onto the ground as well as spew outward from the vehicle. fuel has gotten onto my clothing and skin on two occasions. *tr

Fuel system does not respond to a shut-off mechanism. every time we fill up the gas on our 2005 wrangler unlimited, gas will come back out and spill down the side of the jeep and sometimes spray surrounding area. so if you are standing anywhere near it, most likely you will have gas all over yourself. we are the second owners of the 2005 wrangler that only had 5500 miles on it when we bought the jeep and now have about 7500 miles and have seen this issue every time we fill the gas tank. dealership wants $1400.00 to replace plus labor. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that while driving 60 mph or above, the vehicle would shake uncontrollably. the contact had to reduce speed to regain control. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who test drove and was able to recreate the failure in the vehicle however, they advised that they were unable to remedy the failure. the vehicle was taken to a local mechanic where a diagnostic was performed that located the failure at the steering assembly. the steering assembly was replaced and the failure was corrected. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 75,000 and the current mileage wa 82,000. the dealer did acknowledge there was a problem with the steering. however, they did not have a fix for it. the consumer stated he found a mechanic that was familiar with the problem and all four control arms, trac bar and steering shock were replaced. updated 02/07/13

My jeep overflows gasoline everytime i fill up at the pump! *tr

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

Fuel tank spill when fueling. happens every time i fuel this vehicle. gas spills out of the fill tube when pump shuts off. i think this could be a seriuos fire hazard and environmental disaster. *tr

Automatic transmission shift linkage cable broke. unable to start vehicle with transmission selected in either "park" or "neutral." shift linkage cable replaced by dealer, not under warranty or recall. *tr

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.

Gas tank overflows when filling. occurs at both high/low speed autofill. will overflow at manual fill as well, unless you hear gurgling and shut off pump before overflow. *tr

When filling up at the gas station, gasoline spills out all over the place, runs down the side of the vehicle and spills out onto the ground. *tr

When filling the fuel tank, the pump will shut off but fuel will spill out of the fuel filler access onto the side of the jeep and the ground. *tr

Every time i fill up with gas, the rollover check valve fails and gas gushes out onto ground. this is a fire hazard and enviromental issue. *tr

While fueling this vehicle, as the tank got full and the pump shut off, the fuel belched out, at first i thought it was the gas pump so i have tried different gas stations, it has now gotten to the point where it does it every time, at every different gas station. i looked on the internet and found that it is a common problem with plenty of video to support these complaints, what is difficult to understand is why you aren't doing anything about it. other government agencies have forced all gas stations to limit/recover fugitive emissions, but all this video evidence isn't enough to support a recall of all affected vehicles? *tr

Fueling up at the gas station, cannot fill up without gas spitting out onto me, the vehicle, and the ground. no other vehicle i've owned has this problem, including an 03 jeep wrangler and a 2000 dodge durango, both of which in more recent model years have had a recall for this same problem. it is an environmental and health hazard, as fuel is a carcinogen. *tr

We have had several shimmy and wobble problems at various speeds. we have had the vehicle to the dealership for repair of this several times without resolution (the latest was as recent as 9/17/2012. for safety we no longer drive the vehicle on the freeway. *tr

Was on vacation in alaska when we started to get the jeep death wobble ( shimmy) . we tried wheel balance as i thought maybe we lost a wheel weight. still shimmying. installed a new steering dampener and this helped a little. still shaking at around 55 to 60 mph. ended up buying 4 new tires and that seems to have helped but there is always a slight shimmy in the steering wheel. nothing like b/4 thou when you would have to slam the brakes on to get it to stop shaking. waiting for it to start again. *tr

When i hit speeds of 50mph, my jeep wobbles terribly. i have read numerous reviews and complaints that this is not uncommon and it even has a name, the "death wobble". we are going to pass the jeep onto our 16 yr old daughter, but would like to know if it is going to be recalled or if it is fixable. i would hate anything to happen to our daughter, especially if jeep is aware of this problem,

This problem has been occurring since the first week i bought the jeep used back in 2007. i returned to the dealership three times in the first month to have them balance, rotate tires, check alignment. was told i needed new tires. new tires does fix the problem for a while. i have replaced brakes, rotors, tires, had alignments, rotations etc. only to have the problem recur. i have now found that this problem is called the "jeep death wobble" and has hundreds of like complaints. my tire wobbles terribly at around 55 miles per hour. i am now told that i should replace my upper and lower ball joints. chrysler/jeep has already acknowledged a similar problem on their liberty. they need to discover the problem so that we can fix this and ride safely before someone dies from this defect. *tr

We purchased the vehicle used with around 12,000 miles last year. ever since we bought it, it will run over when pumping gas. it does not cut off so you just have to listen to stop it. i googled and saw there have been issues with other years. it would be great if the problem could be fixed. *tr

Each time i fill the gas tank, gas gushes out all over the side of my jeep and sometimes on myself. i am afraid that sooner or later i'm going to catch on fire. please help. *tr

When fueling the jeep the gas overflows. even though we are very careful it is impossible to gas up the car and not have gas all over your hands and the ground. the gas drips down the side of the car and is a serious safety concern. we have tried different pumps and different angles to no avail. it is not human error as we have other vehicles that we never have a problem at the same pumps with any other car. *tr

I am experiencing fuel spit-back during every refueling of my vehicle. i purchased a replacement tank and the problem has again occurred on the replacement fuel tank. i am considering a class action lawsuit against chrysler to fix this problem with 2005-2006 jeep wranglers as well as the 2007-2008 jeep wranglers. i know a recall for this same issue is in effect for the 2007-2008 jeep wranglers. here is a link to an edmonds article: http://www.autoobserver.com/2011/02/chrysler-replaces-some-fuel-tanks-for-gas-spit-back.html here is a link to a jeep forum with numerous complaints for the same issue and it is not isolated to the 2007-2008 jeep wranglers: http://www.wranglerforum.com/f19/overflow-at-the-gas-pump-46693-2.html. *tr

Gas tank overflows everytime i fill up. doesn't matter what gas station i go to, the gas always spits out of the tank and all over the side of the car before the pump stops. something is wrong with the tank or an internal check valve which should prevent this. i can never fill the gas tank up full because of this issue. the only fix i have found through research is a brand new gas tank, which is ridiculous. *tr

When refueling and filling up gas tank, the automatic gas pump nozzle does not shut-off in time resulting in gas overflow/spilling. typically a few cups of gas will spill out before nozzle shuts off the gas flow. have tried filling at different gas stations, with different pumps, and positioning nozzle in different positions but result is the same and gas overflows. only way to prevent is to guess how much gas is needed -- then stop pump before tank is full -- then fill remainder of tank with pump on slowest setting. *tr

Approximately 1 year after purchasing my used 2005 wrangler, gas started to overflow from the filler tube upon fueling. the first time this occurred, i thought it was a defective pump shut-off at the station until it happened the next time and the next and so on. i have been dealing with this for at least 2 years with no resolve. a good amount of gas will spill out of the tank once the tank has reached capacity, spraying gas all over the vehicle and the ground. this can be minimized by slowing the flow from the nozzle, but there is no way to tell when the tank is going to be full or not. this is not only a safety issue as there is now a volatile substance on the ground, but an environmental issue as there is now gasoline that could easily enter the ground water. it is unacceptable that chrysler is aware of this problem, has admitted that it affects other model years yet refuses to accept further responsibility. *tr

Everytime i fill the gas tank the gas overflow on to the ground after the gas hose shuts off. *js

After i had my tires rotated and was traveling about 45 mph the front end began to severely shimmy. it occurred several times. the only way to get it to stop was to decelerate. i had the dampener and tires replaced (they were worn unevenly) today. i have major concerns about the safety of the vehicle long term. there are many anecdotal references on google concerning this being a major problem (google search wrangler "death wobble." ) one story indicated that there were a limited number of formal complaints to your organization so i wanted to make sure i added a complaint as this condition could cause an accident for an unsuspecting driver. i will update the result of the repair in terms of whether it resolves the incident or not. *js

The vehicle gas filler tube over flows nearly every fill up. gas spills out onto the jeep and onto the ground. *js

When refueling the vehicle, the automatic shutoff does not engage from the vehicle itself properly, causing fuel to continue to flow and out and all over the side of the vehicle. it also sprays out and on the operator fueling the vehicle. there is a technical service bulletin from jeep about the issue, but action has not been taken by the manufacturer. i request this be repaired under warranty. material safety data sheets classify gasoline as a hazardous material, known to cause health defects when in contact with skin, and environmental impacts when improperly contained. *tr

Around june 2010, i parked the vehicle in a hospital parking lot. upon returning to vehicle, shift lever just flopped back and forth. could not shift out of park. had jeep towed to jeep dealership. they replaced the shifter cable at a cost of over $300.00. two weeks ago, june 2012, while driving, jeep shifter broke again while locked in drive. same dealership replaced the shift cable bushing. another $100. i called jeep/chrysler and their representative informed me that they had no other complaints about this problem. funny, since there are many websites about this very, ongoing, problem with jeep shifter cables. in my opinion, this could be a very dangerous problem. there is no warning of failure. if it had occurred a day prior, i could have been backing down the boat ramp! i feel a recall, or at least, a notification to jeep owners, should be initiated by jeep/chrysler. thank you for your time. *tr

Every-time i fill up my gas tank it overflows and spills out violently. *tt

Our 2005 jeep wrangler has been overflowing when filling up the gas tank for two months now. there is no warning and the gas spews out of the nozzle/tank. the gas often gets all over my shoes, hands and pants. we are not ignoring the shut off click, since this problem began there hasn't been one. for our own safety we wait until the gas light is on to get gas and then estimate how much gas we need in order to stay gas free. we have researched the problem and it seems to be a common problem with jeep and chrysler vehicles involving the inlet check valve, yet they have done nothing. *tr

When filling up the jeep with gasoline, gas pumps will not click off, and the fuel tank overfills, but sprays out with great force soaking the individual pumping gasoline. *tr

Filled up fuel tank, when it got to the top it didn't shut off without spilling out. now it does it all the time. *tr

Recently purchased the wrangler used. fuel spill every time you fill the gas tank. when the fuel pump clicks off fuel shoots out the fill spout. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. the contact stated when he shifted the vehicle in reverse, the gear shift link fell off and the vehicle would not move. the contact also stated that he had to climb underneath the vehicle in order to shift it into gear; where he ran the risk of the vehicle rolling over him. the dealer was notified and stated there were no related complaints related to the failure. the manufacturer stated that if he took the vehicle to the dealer, they would pay a portion of the repair cost. the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. the failure mileage was 25000.

Purchase a used 2005 jeep wrangler (sport) with 103,000 miles in early 2011. the six speed manual transmission pops out of first gear about once a day when accelerating from a stopped position. it almost seems random, never know when to expect the event. the event is quite disturbing and loud, with a loud "pop". the jeep rolls forward but out of gear. i must quickly put it back in first gear to clear the intersection, red light, etc. what is going on with this transmission? is it normal wear-and-tare, or is there a design defect with the transmission? what is the solution to this unsafe driving condition? has there been a recall? *tr

Hello, i own a 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited. while driving on the highway, trying to "maintain" the proper speed limit, my jeep will develop a death wobble to the front end. this erratic and almost uncontrollable behavior occurs at anywhere from 55 to 60mph. after trying to research the solution to this problem, i have noticed multiple other jeep owners having the same issue. my jeep is my daily driver, and also is used to transport my 4 and 5 year old kids around. due to the economy i can not afford to purchase another vehicle, nor will i sell these problems to someone else. i am surprised there hasn't been more highway related incidents/fatalities due to this issue. any help will be greatly appreciated in solving this issue. dealerships are no help and i cant afford to replace the whole front end just to end up with the same problems. thank you for your time in this matter, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

2005 jeep wrangler. consumer states within two weeks of purchase vehicle began experiencing electrical problems *tgw the consumer stated the heater/fan switch was replaced numerous times. on march 22, 2010, smoke began emitting from the vents into the interior of the vehicle. within minutes, the vehicle was fully engulfed in flames and burned completely to the frame. chrysler determined there were no manufacturing defects despite the numerous problems the consumer encountered with the vehicle. *jb

2005 jeep wrangler unlimited - there is a back-splash issue when fueling the vehicle, every time! if you do not just stop it early (before it is full) it will splash back every time you fuel, sometimes quite a bit of fuel spilled. i have talked to several other owners of this make and model jeep and most of them said they have the same problem. i called chrysler about this and asked if this was an ongoing issue. the representative said they were not aware of the issue. i find that unlikely. *tr

I had bought a jeep wrangler with approx 45000 miles. right around the 55000 the check engine light came on and then i started having gas blow out of the gas tank during refueling. the jeep now has 85000 and still has the gas blow back. i had taken it to a jeep dealer and the mention that it needed a smoke test. i found that i had a major evap leak in the fuel system, i had a mechanic replace the fuel hoses. after the repairs. i still have the fuel blow back. i live in the va beach area, where fuel on the ground causes an environment problem especially when i fuel on norfolk naval base. i had fuel sprayed on me and also cautioned the wife, who already had it splash on her face. luckily, did not spray in the eyes. when pumping gas the automatic shutoff does not kick in fast enough before blow back occurs. it happens with out warning. is there a resolution to this issue with the jeep wranglers? *tr

On february 18th 2012, i purchased a used 2005 jeep wrangler rubicon from a jeep dealership. every time i've filled up for gas, there is an over spill of about 1/8 of a gallon. this happened on 2/27/12, 2/29/12 , 3/15/12, 3/25/12, and 4/23/12. even when slowing down towards the end of the fill up, it still spills over, just less severe. i took it into the dealer. they performed a fuel system software upgrade on 4/06/12, but that did not correct the problem. this is a huge nuisance (not to mention safety/fire hazard) and from what little research i've done, does not sound like an isolated problem. *tr

Whenever you fill the tank it overfills and ends up on the pavement. no matter how slow or fast you fill it. *tr

When filling gas tank neck repeatedly overflows at cutoff, spilling several ounces of gas on car and ground. *js

Significant fuel spillage while fueling vehicle at the point of gas pump cut-off. fuel is "burped" out of the fuel filling port on the vehicle onto pump operator's hands, arms, and clothing, in addition to the side of the vehicle and fill nozzle. this happens every time the vehicle is fueled no matter where it is fueled, what speed fuel is pumped and whether or not the nozzle is being hand operated or "automatically" operated. on research, this is an engineering failure known by chrysler that is due to non-ethanol resistant plastics being used in a check valve contained in the fuel tank assembly, causing the valve to swell and get jammed when fuel containing ethanol is used in the vehicle. i would think that drivers, their vehicles, and the ground being doused with significant quantities of gasoline at every fueling stop would qualify as a safety issue. *js

When refueling the vehicle, fuel pump never shuts off. this has been a problem with the vehicle now for a long time. the fuel system allows the pump to continue running after the tank is full. it does not matter what gas station i go to. gasoline always overflows and spills out onto the ground. i was recently refueling my and the vehicle and the pump did not shut off. a substantial amount of gas flowed out onto the ground and something lit the fuel vapors causing a small fire. i was able to put it out with an extinguisher. this could have caused the entire gas station to catch fire/explode and is extremely dangerous. *tr ..updated 09/12/12 *bf updated 09/12/2012 *js

When filling gas tank, fuel splashes back out of fill pipe. it doesn't matter how fast or slow the tank is filled, or what position the fill nozzle is placed in the fill opening, it splashes back out of the fill pipe, covering the side of the vehicle, as well as the person filling if standing too close. i see this as a very dangerous situation, as static electricity could easily ignite the fuel in this scenario. i've read on jeep blogs that the cure is to replace the fuel tank due to a defective valve in the tank at the cost of over $900. but unfortunately the replacement tank is just another defective tank, as there is not an updated unit available, thus setting up another future failure. there is not recall on this, i think there should be. please keep me advised of any actions taken in this matter.

Front end starts into a violent wobble between 50 & 55 mph. the only way to stop it is to slam on the brakes. i have tried different tires and different tire pressures and the wobble still persist. the suspension hasn't been modified in any way and the entire vehicle is in stock condition. i think that this is a well known problem that could result in loss of life and there should be a recall to fix it. *js

When filling up with gas the fuel gushes out of the gas hole when the pump clicks off. *tr

Gasoline spews out of tank when clicking off when full. this can be very dangerous and gets gasoline on my truck and i have had gasoline spewed on me before. it's not fun going to work smelling like a gas station. there are so many complaints on this issue, why isn't the manufacturer required to fix this dangerous problem? *tr

When filling the car with gasoline, the automatic shut off does not occur and fuel blows out of the jeep and down on the ground and me if i am close. it appears that a substantial amount of fuel spills. this occurs at all fill ups it is not gas station specific. this can be a danger if it spews on something hot. also i would think that it's an environmental concern and it stinks. very frustrating problem! *tr

I recently purchased a 2005 jeep wrangler. every time i fill gas, when the pump shuts off gasoline comes spraying out of the vehicle's tank and all over the ground. approximately a cup or more comes out of the jeep's tank. i think this is a potential fire hazard and should be addressed by the nhtsa as soon as possible before someone is hurt by this defect. a recall for the item should be mandated by the government and jeep should be forced to fix this problem. i have researched this problem on the internet and it seems pretty widespread. *tr

Every time that i refill the tank, gas will overflow out of the tank after the pump shuts off. sometimes the gas will spray out violently, other times the gas will just spill down the side of the jeep and onto the ground. *tr

The design of the fuel tank in the wrangler unlimited edition made from 2004 to 2006 causes it to hold an air bubble and blow a large amount of gas out of the filler spout when putting fuel in. this happens every time the jeep is filled up with gas. these spills are an environmental issue as well as a safety issue. *tr

Gas tank spits back out gas as soon as the filling stops. there is enough gas lost to spill down the side of the jeep and onto the ground. i have used different pumps at the same station and finally went to other stations and the same has happened each time i gas up my vehicle. i just returned from the jeep dealership and they told me the problem was in the check valve and i would need a costly replacement of the whole tank. i see now that this is a common problem with this gas tank. losing even a small amount of gas is costly not to mention the potential danger of free gas spilling out. a recall is needed which is not limited to only certain years. *kb

The oil pump drive assembly (opda) upper bushing has no way to lubricate due to manufacturing error in the 2005 and 2006 4.0 engine. this causes high metal to metal scraping sound and will result in engine failure. happened after 38000 miles in a well maintained vehicle. talked to many jeep dealers and service tech's and they refuse to give any assistance or suggestions for a fix. *tr

Every time i fill up my gas tank, the auto shut off doesn't happen until the tank overflows, this has caused gas to spill out sometimes onto the person filling up the tank. this happens every time at any station i use. *tr

A large amount of fuel violently erupts from tank mouth when filling and overflows onto the vehicle, ground & myself. this occurs at each complete fill-up. this 2005 jeep wrangler sporadically trips obd-2 check engine codes for emission evaporative components, in the p0440-p0456 range. *tr

Fuel gushes out of tank during every fill up. maybe 3-9 fl. ounces pour out, maybe more. this happens if the pump is set on auto fill, the pump clicks off, but a split-second later fuels comes out foaming. if the pump is manually operated and the lever is eased so that it pumps about half speed or less, it does not gush out. this has happened since i bough the car new, i'm the original owner. i has never not done it on auto fill and it takes skill to avoid it. *tt

Fuel tank overflows each and every time the vehicle is filled with fuel. i had a 2004 jeep wrangler and never had this problem.

Fuel fill spits out fuel every time i fill the tank. it is a dangerous situation due to the volatility of gas. *tr

When filling the fuel tank, gasoline shoots out the filler neck before the pump shuts off. this happens consistently and at all gas stations tried. my understanding is that this is not an isolated incident and occurs on many jeep wrangler vehicles. *tt

When filling gas tank, gasoline spews from the filler neck prior to the automatic shut-off on the pump engaging. this has been an issue with this particular vehicle since 2008.

After filling the fuel tank, the gas pump stops but the gas comes gushing out of the filler tube. this has now happened every time i have filled up my jeep since the first time it happened in jan 2011. *tr

The fuel always spews out of the tank when allowing the automatic shutoff of the gas pump. it happens with every gas station i use. i would estimate about 1 to 2 cups of fuel spill out and onto the ground each time i fill up. i have been informed this is an issue that involves a faulty valve in the wrangler gas tank. jeep needs to take ownership of this issue. *tr

Gas is overflowing when i fuel up. this has happened 5 times already. *tr

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

When filling the gas tank the pump will not automatically shut off and there is a huge spray of gasoline out of the tank. this happens almost every time, you are forced to listen to the sound of the gas and judge when it is about to spill out in order to prevent it. (note: i no longer own this vehicle, but i am documenting it here since i have heard that it is a common problem.) *tr

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

When refueling a significant quantity (estimated at 8 ounces or more) of gasoline is "spit back" or discharged from the fuel filler opening as the tank reaches full. this discharge produces a puddle of gasoline at least 24" in diameter and leaves the exterior and underside of the fender dripping with gasoline and depending on the filler hose configuration may soak the clothing of the person operating the pump. this event occurs every time the vehicle is refueled unless care is taken to stop adding fuel before the tank reaches full capacity. clearly this creates a very dangerous, environmentally hazardous and potentially life threatening situation!! *tr

Front end shakes violently after hitting a bump and will not stop shaking until vehicle is brought to a stop. dealer has attempted to fix it 5 times between august 06 and january 07. dealer replaced steering dampner in august, 2006. replaced trac bar in december, 2006. i had independent shop check front end. found nothing out of spec. at one point dealer claimed that it was caused by tires. new tires fixed problem for a short time. had tires balanced 4 times in 2009. replaced stabilizer shock again in august, 2009 and again in december of 2011 with heavy duty one. problem persists today in january of 2012. *tr

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

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

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

When fueling the vehicle, gasoline overflows and spews out of the gas tank opening. this happens each time the vehicle is fueled and occurs as the tank reaches full. this is an extremely dangerous and unhealthy situation which needs to be addressed by the vehicle manufacturer. i was shocked to find this is a known and widely reported issue, but not yet resolved by chrysler. *tr

My 2005 jeep wrangler tj will spit fuel each time i fill the vehicle (overflow) and it will spill gasoline all over the side of the vehicle and on the ground. *tr

Fuel spills when gas tank is full every time i fill up the jeep. my father has this same problem also. *tr

Fuel overflows and spills all over the exterior, ground and sometimes my shoes every time i fill my gas tank. i know this is an extremely common issue, and am hoping for a recall. thanks!!! *tr

Every time you fill the fuel tank, fuel spill's out on the side of the vehicle and on the ground causing a very dangerous fire probability. *tr

When filling the vehicle with gasoline it will not stop the pump and begin to overflow. *tr

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

When trying to put gas into tank the gas overflows out the fill tube. *tr

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

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

When filling up gas tank, gas will spill out for fill spout before the gas nossel shuts off. *tr

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

Gas spills out whenever i fuel-up. *tr

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

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

The accelerator (gas pedal) initially felt as though it were stuck, as if there was a block under it, when driving at approximately 20 mph. then suddenly there was unintended acceleration with the accelerator stuck at full throttle. only after the vehicle hit 2 parked cars did the vehicle come to a stop.

Was driving over 50 miles per hour when i hit a little bump and my whole front end of my jeep started to shake violently, i thought the wheels were going to come off, i could bearly control the steering wheel to make it to the side of road, i have had less violent ones but they are becoming more frequent now, i just went to dealer and they said my steering damper will have to be replaced for 255.00 , i have been reading all the complaints about this " death wobble" and all the work that people are having done only to have the issue come back, i do not want to waste money on all the things that they will try and replace only to find its not the real issue. please help! *tr

When fueling vehicle gas splashes out of fuel filler intake. this happens on just about every fill up. it doesn't appear to make any difference if you fill up slowly or at normal fill speed. gasoline spilling on the side of the vehicle and spilling onto the ground can't be a safe thing.

Fuel tank overflows at every fill up regardless of the gas station. *tr

Fuels sprays out of the fill point when filling at a gas station. i have had it spray into the air and into my mouth and close to my eyes. i have the nozzle in the hole and on auto stop and when it is full, the pump stops the fueling after the fuel come squirting out. this is a known problem and i am sick and dang tired of getting fuel all over my hands, face and clothing! *tr

Gas over flows and soaked my pants. *kb

When filling the gas tank on my 2005 jeep wrangler, i get a back splash of gas more often than not. i've taken the precaution of slowing the pump down when close to full, but still spill gas. when i spoke to chrysler about another issue, i mentioned the overflow issue. i was told to have the "fuel tank inlet check valve" looked at the next time i was at the dealership. *tr

When i fill my 05 wrangler it overflows before pump shuts off,this happens everytime i fill up. *tr

Gas tank spills every time i fill it up. squirts out and onto my clothes, ground, paint job and fender. me and many others are having this problem. recall!!!! *tr

I bought my 05 jeep lj wrangler unlimited with 20,600 miles and the 1st time i filled it at 20,800 and every single time it whether i have the handle set to automatic shutoff or hand pump it slow or fast doesn't matter what gas station it spews gas all over before stopping today at 31k miles i've had it slew so bad i got soaked from the waist down having my legs feel a burning sensation along with my feet due to being soaked in gas!!!!!!!!!! i want a recall i looked online most wrangler owners complain of this issue this isn't a sole complaint as far as im aware why hasn't it been recalled?? *tr

Everytime i fill up my vehicle the nozzle doesn't kick off, gas pours out the filler neck, gas is expensive these days to just pour it on the ground and bad for the environment, i try to not let it happen but still it does, i feel that jeep should bring out a recall on this. i cant fill my vehicle up all the way as i like to be able to. the fender flare is discolored because of the gas spilling out on to it and then i have to go and get the gas off my hands and shoes when i shouldn't have to. i know there are more problems other than mine as you can go to http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f176/have-fuel-spill-problems-like-many-us-submit-complaint-force-recall-974337/ and see many on there has had this problem aswell and have videos of this happening. im just afraid that static electricity my spark on it at the time this happens and causes a big mess. please help me and others make jeep send out a recall on this. my vehicle is completely stock no modifications has been done to it to alter the way gas goes into the tank. thank you for your time. *tr

Gas tank overflows everytime during fill-up. *tr

Every single time i put gas in the jeep, it overflows. even if i listen carefully and try to stop it before it is completely full. it sprays gas all over me, the parking lot and the jeep. this is very dangerous and i'm afraid of a fire. *tr

When fueling the vehicle it overflows. the fuel always overflows before it triggers the pump to stop fueling. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. the contact was driving 50 mph when the front of the vehicle began shaking extremely violently. the contact stated that the failure was so extreme that the vehicle would venture off the roadway when the failure occurred. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who inspected the vehicle and was unable to duplicate the failure. the manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. the failure mileage was 39,000.

My fuel tank overflowed during fuel fill up. this has happened the last 4 or 5 times consistently. i even tried to fill the fuel tank at the slowest speed possible and it still overflowed and came out the filler neck when full. *tt

Every time i fill up my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited the tank will overflow. it doesn't matter if i let the auto stop click to stop the gas or if i slow down when i know it is getting full, the gas will overflow and leak everywhere. it's a decent size puddle too, not just a couple drips. *tr

When filling up the jeep with gas this morning, fuel shot out of the jeep about 3 feet and also ran down the side of the jeep right when the fuel pump shut off. had i been standing in front of the fuel tank, i would have been covered in gas to include my face. this is a known problem and chrysler needs to recall this! this is not only a safety problem, but a hazmat problem as well. *tr

At speeds in the range of 45-50mph, and usually around 47mph, the steering wheel and front wheels will violently shake and wobble from side to side. the only way to recover is to either speed up or slow down. this seems to be a common problem with jeeps as there are youtube videos of the jeep "death wobble". it becomes very serious and could cause a person to lose control of the vehicle. this is an ongoing problem, and seems like something the manufacturer should address. *tr

Death wobble at speeds between 55 and 60 mph.l *tt

Every single time i fill my jeep up with gasoline it spits back at me. i have to stand back while filling the tank and gauge approximately how much gas i am low so i can predict when to slow down the pump, just to soften the amount of gas that is spit back. this only limits the amount that spits back, it does not stop it entirely. half of the time i end up wet with gasoline. *tr

While filling up my 2005 jeep wrangler no matter the speed of the gas flow there is a very large amount of gas overflow. this happens every time and at all gas stations i try. *tt

Fuel tank overflows every time i fill up. gas spills on the ground. it happens at all the gas stations i visit in multiple states, including texas, arkansas, missouri, illinois and indiana. *tr

Every time i fill up my gas tank at the pump fuel flies up out of the tank and all over the place. everytime i fill up i have to clean gas off of my vehicle and the ground. *tr

Upon refilling my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited with gasoline when the gas pump shuts off there is a blow back of roughly 1 quart of gasoline. this happens each and every time i re-fuel and each time it is roughly the same amount of blow back. *tr

My 2005 jeep wrangler has started spitting fuel out when i fill up. it never did it up until this time. it splashes fuel on the ground and down the side of my vehicle. we also get a strong smell of gas in the vehicle when it happens. *tr

When refueling, the pump does not shut off before spraying gasoline out of the tank. this occurs whether the pump is running fast or slow and whether the nozzle is all the way in or not. *tr

When fueling at gas station the fuel does not cut off and fuel spills back out of the vehicle onto the person fueling and/or the vehicle and ground. there is no warning and the pump does not cut off. *tr

Whenever i am filling up my jeep it regularly overflows causing fuel to spill all over myself, vehicle, and ground. it typically spills for a few seconds until the pump shuts off but it is a hassle, fire hazard, and costly. i am aware of many other jeep wrangler owners that have this problem. *kb

Every time during refueling the gas spits, or splashes out. this causes a significant amount of gasoline to be spilled on the vehicle and the ground. it is not only a waste, an environmental hazard, but a safety hazard. please discuss the matter further with jeep. i am not the only owner with this issue, and far many more owners have yet to report this problem. *tr

I was driving on the bypass near my home and experienced "the death wobble" between 50-55 i thought the front end was falling out so i slowed down and got to the sise of the road and began checking out the vehicle. it has happened several times since. my jeep is at the dealers as i write this getting checked out. i think jeep should put a recall on this problem before someone gets hurt or killed. *tt

When i fill up the gas tank. the valve in the tank is stuck. so it will not automatically turn off the pump causing me to not know if it is full or not. since there is no way to know when it is full it spills out if the tank and all over me the body of my car and ground. this is a well known complaint with all wranglers in this model. please help fix this. *tr

Fuel overflows from filler neck everytime purchasing fuel regardless of fuel station. this is a substantial quantity of fuel that represents a fire and environmental hazard. fuel splashed out and got on my 3.5 year old daughter even though she was standing at what was considered to be a safe distance. it is not uncommon for fuel to shoot out close to 3 feet. when you think the tank is almost full even when slowing down the pump fuel will still splash out. *tt

I do not recall exactly when this issue began. but my 2005 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited spills fuel every time i fill up the tank. the gas does not shut off when full and over a cup of fuel spills out. the dealer ship claims that they have never heard of such a problem on jeeps older than 2007. *tt

When filling up at the gas station, gasoline spills out all over the place, runs down the side of the vehicle and spills out onto the ground. *kb

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that while refueling the vehicle, fuel started to spew back out from the filler neck valve. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 49,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.

Fuel spurts out of filler upon each fill up prior to pump kicking off. it comes out with enough force to get onto clothing, etc. this is an obvious safety hazard. *tr

2005 jeep wrangler gas tank spills gas out of the fill line onto the ground at every fillup, even when filling slowly. as i read on the jeep wrangler forums this is a very common problem. *tr

This jeep bought "used' in 2007 with 18k miles and no modifications. no post-purchase modifications have been made. problem first noticed at 20k miles and happens intermittently and without warning. at 45+ mph, while entering freeway on-ramp overpass, hit expansion joint in road. jeep began to violently shake from the front end of vehicle, and steering wheel wobbled left to right, 5 to 6 inches each side, uncontrollably. vehicle sounded and felt like it was going to literally fall apart. driver tried breaking gently but vehicle continued to shake/wobble even worse. with difficulty, driver got vehicle to side of road and called for help. another occasion, while driving downhill 55 - 60 mph and decelerating, vehicle started violently shaking/wobbling, unprovoked by roadway defect or obstruction. driver broke hard, down-shifted, got vehicle to shoulder of road and came to complete stop. wobble did not cease until car stopped. other occasions, typically while driving between 45 - 60 mph on freeway, steering wheel will start wobbling, subtly at first, then all-out shimmy/wobble from front end. on one occasion vehicle seemed to self-correct, but driver sensed wobbling trying to return. on all occasions driver(s) grasped steering wheel hard to try to "calm" vehicle. three different family drivers (and only drivers) of this vehicle all experienced similar vehicle malfunction. jeep has been taken to three different service centers (chrysler/jeep, les schwab, ken's tires) for inspection and repair. owners purchased suggested parts and service each time. problem eventually returns. *tr

During each fuel fill up with my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited when the tank reaches almost full, there is a back splash that occurs. fuel is forced out of the fuel tank and spill over the side of the vehicle and on the ground around the vehicle. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that the transmission was failing. the contact stated that when restarting the vehicle after driving for a short while and shifting into drive, the transmission would hesitate to respond. the vehicle was inspected by the dealer and was found that the computer needed to be replaced. the failure mileage was 46,000 and the current mileage was 52,000.

The gas tank overflows and spits back gas everytime i refill the jeep's fuel tank. when the automatic shutoff on the gas station pump is engaged the gas sprays out of the fuel cap area of the 2005 jeep wrangler. this happens every time regardless of the speed i am filling the tank. *kb

Upon filling the gas tank, fuel overflows, at times it sprays all over the place. *tr

When pumping gas, the gas tank overflows before the gas pump senses it is full. happens with a 99% chance of happening and easily reproducible. *kb

Every time i need to fill my 2005 jeep wrangler with gas it spills out of the nozzle and all over the ground right at the pump. this situation is extremely dangerous, bad for the environment and wasteful. no matter how the nozzle is held, what gas company i use or how slow i let it pump in the fuel seems to change the final outcome of a large slosh of gasoline gushing out onto the ground. as an added consequence, many gas stations don't even have the means or proper equipment to clean up this hazardous waste spill. i have seen nothing released and no fixes for this problem from jeep or any other company because apparently jeep does not feel that it is important enough, dangerous enough or even enough of a pain to their customers to offer a remedy. if it wasn't so dangerous to hold an electronic device while filling my vehicle, i'd happily send a video in of what it does when it reaches the top of the tank. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that fuel escaped from the fuel tank when the fuel tank was full. the vehicle was taken to a local repair shop for a diagnostic test and the test indicated that the rollover valve failed. the vehicle was also taken to an authorized dealer, but it was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 53,000. the vin was unknown.

Fuel overflows at all fillups. *kb

I just bought a used 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon and every time i attempt to fill up at a gas station, the pump fails to shut off causing about a half gallon of fuel to spill out onto the vehicle and the ground. this spilling happens every time regardless of the station, the pump and/or the technique used to fill (auto, manual, fast, slow, nozzle all the way in, partially out etc). *tr

When filling up the gas tank in my 2005 jeep wrangler gas spews out of the tank once full. *kb

The gas tank on my 2005 wrangler x has an issue with overflowing or spurting gas instead of shutting off like it should. this has happened at almost every gas station i have taken it to so i'm certain its not an issue with a particular pump. i have also read about other jeep owners having this problem. *tt

I love my 2005 jeep wrangler but i'm afraid it's going to kill me or cause a major accident. hitting a bump or rough patch at speeds over 50 can trigger a "death wobble." the tires spin sideways- uncontrollably- and the car literally jumps and shimmies out of control. if i'm lucky i can guide it off the freeway to a stop. this happened a year ago and i had my tires aligned, which helped for a while. it started again, so i took it to the dealer who aligned my tires and replaced my steering damper. jeep knows about this problem- there's a replacement part available for newer models. i drive conservatively, and never off-road, and have not made any modifications to the factory parts. this is a dangerous and common complaint- jeep should be made to recall and fix this problem before people are killed!! how can there have been no action to date with so many complaints! *kb

2005 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited overflow fuel onto the ground (more than 1 cup) at every fill up. the tank also stops short of the expected volume. vehicle has 47k miles and is past warranty. as stated, this happens at every fillup. the evaporative control filling units (like found in houston) have a further issue of not operating faster than the first 'click'. the safety and environmental issue is directly tied to the release (sometimes violent) of fuel from the filler neck onto the ground or bystanders. watershed will push this raw fuel directly into storm drains, and in this area, into our drinking water aquafer recharge zones. *tr

Every time i try and fill up the gas tank on my 2005 jeep wrangler tj, gas overflows down the side of my vehicle. this happens at any and every pump i go to. i've never had this problem with any other car. *tt why hasn't this been recalled? besides being dangerous, it's also wasting my money, since up to a quart of gasoline comes shooting out every time i fill up.

Gas overflows and spills out on every fuel fill-up attempt.

Driving over uneven road surfaces, man hole covers, pot holes, expansion joints in concrete, or any ripples in the road surface, what is commonly known as "death wobble" occurs. this is an uncontrollable left and right progressive wobble of the front wheels. this wobble does not stop until the vehicle is slowed down to approximately 10 mph. parts replaced have been the steering stabilizer, track bar bushings, pitman arm and pitman tie rod end, tires, tires balanced three times (twice in two weeks), alignment performed twice, and steering gear box adjusted. two different jeep dealerships claim the stabilizer is the problem, and the one replaced must be faulty. do the research, the steering stabilizer is not the problem... only a mask. the "death wobble" happens daily. usually multiple times. *tr

I purchased my jeep wrangler rubicon sahara in july 2005. over the years, the biggest problems i had were the infamous shaking of the car at speeds over about 55mph and the constant need to jump the car and buy new batteries. the latter problem seemed like something i could live with but over time it became worse and you could no longer rely on the car to start. jeep has always been very cavalier about these problems, but they are real. my car now has only about 17,000 miles on it because of the reliability problem. in january 2011 there was an electrical explosion and smoke in the car. it was towed to lithia jeep in santa fe nm (where i originally bought it). they couldn't really figure out the problem, but charged me for some rewiring and sent it back to me. within days, the battery was dead again, so i bought a new battery. within days, that battery was dead and the car was again towed to jeep. this time, i filed a formal complaint with chrysler, who accepted the case.the dealer fiddled around with the car without success for a month, before chrysler agreed to accept most of the charges for a comprehensive rewiring of the car. the dealer also informed me at the time that it was unable to do the recall work on the car's transmission, because the bolts securing the transmission had been stripped at the factory. this seemed odd to me, that a dealer was telling me it couldn't do the recall work on a dangerous condition, so i just had to live with it. in march the dealer commenced the intensive rewiring work, and by april, the dealer said that the problem had not yet been resolved, so it would need additional funds from chrysler. this carried on into may, and i still did not have the car. finally, in late may, the dealer called and said they "thought the car might be fixed" but weren't sure, because the computer was still identifying an unknown drain on the battery with potential electrical short implications. no more progress. about $3500 expended. *tr

The vehicle has spewed gasoline all over the vehicle and the person who fuels the vehicle since the first time the vehicle was filled with fuel after purchase. the issue was reported to the dealer and was ignored. there was nothing printed on warranty print out after service for multiple items(steering dampener). years after i spoke with same dealer and was told to bring it in as it was a "common" problem and chrysler had been repairing on other vehicles. upon arrival they try to charge me for repair. i refused. i am stunned that the nhtsa has elected to ignore this problem and label it as an internet sensation when there is literally a mountain of empirical evidence. i can provide videos, pictures, and make my self available for inspection today. i can show this problem is widespread and can be repeated on a large number vehicles using the same part. this is also an environmental issue as large quantities of fuel are being dumped on the ground on a daily basis. i find that the chrysler as well as nhtsa are in fact negligent by not pursuing their investigation of this hazardous condition. i have to question the relevance of nhtsa when such an obvious defect is reported only to be ignored. your organization has essentially told the vehicle owners that if they organize on the internet their claims will be considered to lack merit. in addition, the same parts in other chrysler products can be shown to have been considered by your organization to be faulty, yet ignored in earlier models. in fact, chrysler at times replaces these same parts at random in other models that have not been declared in a recall. *note: the date of first instance is not correct as i cannot recall the exact date of purchase. however, this has occurred every single time i fill the vehicle up and has so since the first time. i purchased the vehicle used but under mfg warranty

Purchased 2005 jeep wrangler x from individual november 2010. vehicle had 21k miles. death wobble occurs everytime vehicle reaches speeds above 45 mph. jeep is out of control and you must come to a swift, but complete stop to keep from losing control. driver of vehicle and other vehicles less than 10 feet away are in danger when this occurs. discovered that this problem is common today and i hope that jeep comes up with a solution to this issue. *kb

I bought a 2005 se sport jeep wrangler about two years ago. in the past few months i have noticed vibrations increasing in the steering wheel and just in the past month the shakings have become extremely violent between 52-60 mph, causing me to have to pull over and stop on the interstate. i took it to the shop and have had the brake pad replaced, new shocks, new alignment, tires rotated, tires balanced, rotors replaced and the entire front end checked. the shaking is still present and i cannot afford to keep replacing one thing at a time when nothing seems to help. the violent shaking is occurring consistently every time i reach 52 mph now and i am scared to drive it on the interstate or have my family drive it. i don't know what to do, where to go or who to talk to to help me get this fixed without costing me my entire months salary or more. my tires also appear to be wearing wrong due to the shaking, which will cost me more money to replace. i have done research on this "death wobble" and am finding that it is very common. we need someone to help us so no one gets seriously injured and so we aren't paying out of pocket for a technical error. *tr

Fuel spills/splashes out with every fill-up. nozzle position or rate of fill does not change result. have only ever used regular unleaded fuel, 87 grade w/ 10% or less ethanol. approximately 1 cup of fuel ends up on the ground, the body of the jeep, shoes, pants, and/or hands every single time. this is an environmental and health hazard.

Gas tank overflows and splashes out gas when filling the vehicle with gas. it occurs at every fill up and at various gas stations/pumps. the result is gas splashing and flowing out of the filler nozzle posing a fire hazard and exposure to a solvent. the gas tank was removed and the vent hoses inspected with no abnormalities found. *tr

On my 2005 jeep wrangler gas over flows out of the fill tube every time i gas up. i have used many different gas stations with the pumps at many different speeds. no matter what i do, the gas always overflows when i gas up. it has done this since i purchase the jeep 3 years ago. i would estimate about a quart of gasoline splashes out all over me, my jeep, and on the ground. this is a serious fire and safety hazard. some thing needs to be done. when i leave the gas station there is a visible puddle of gasoline on the ground because the fuel backstop valve in the jeep does not stop the gas from splashing out. *tr

When filling the gas tank the gas always spews out without the nozzle cutting off. *tr

When filling the gas tank, prior to getting full, there is gas "burping"/splashing out of the fill opening. *tr

My 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited (24,000 miles) started spitting a small amount of gasoline from the filler tube about a year ago. it would spit out about a second after the nozzle shut off. like many others that are experiencing this problem, i blamed the station’s equipment. i tried other stations & other techniques like filling slower & trying to anticipate when the tank would be full & filling as slowly as the nozzle would allow. nothing seemed to prevent the spit back. i recently became aware of the workings of the vapor control properties of my jeep. that led me to an internet forum & to the fact others are having the same problem. i also saw that the nhtsa has investigated this problem on 2007 & 2008 wranglers & that has led to chrysler voluntarily extending the warranty on those gas tanks. however, in their final report the nhtsa (pe10-032) seemed critical of the number of complaints because of internet exposure. if this exposure leads to identifying more people with legitimate complaints, how is this a bad thing? these assertions may be easily verified by a trip to a filling station. part of chrysler’s response was based on warranty claims, it is logical that the older & out of warranty vehicles would not be considered in their evaluation. i believe that extending the warranty rather than a recall is a good way of handling this (replacing only the tanks with problems) & i applaud chrysler for this. i hope you will encourage chrysler to add the 2004-2006 wranglers to the extended gas tank warranty program as we are experiencing the exact same issue as the ‘07 & ‘08s are. the fair alternative would be a safety recall. the identified failure seems to be a check valve in the gas tank.

6 speed transmission forks are poorly designed. vehicle can pop out of 1st gear starting at under 15k miles. can lead to vehicle rolling away when parked in gear as well as rolling back when starting on hills. my vehicle had the problem already at about 90k when i bought it. no idea how long it has been a problem in this vehicle. many reports indicate the problem can occur in this particular transmission at as early as 15k due to design. i am an ase certified mechanic, and while it is nice to be paid to replace these parts regularly, it can be a dangerous condition and needs to be investigated. *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.

Every time i fill the gas tank of my jeep fuel spits back. the dealer said it was normal, i do not believe this should happen. i recently read on line about many jeeps doing the same thing. this has been happening for about one year. i purchased the vehicle new. it has never been in an accident, and is well maintained. *tr

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. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/2005-06-jeep-opda_cps_distributor-failure-1144202/.

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

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

Fuel overflowing from fill ups

When filling up the vehicle with gasoline, when the pump cuts off gasoline spurts out all over the side of the vehicle and the ground and sometimes over the person filling the tank. this happens whether the nozzle is being held and squeezed by the person filling or is locked in position for handsfree filling. it has happened consistently with fillups for the past 4-5 months no matter which gas station is used.

When filling my fuel tank, gas comes out/backs up and spills down side of vehicle or splashes to the ground. i want to be clear that i am not topping off. this happens every time i fill up regardless of the station.

Fuel overflow on 2005 jeep wrangler. i have done lots of research on this and it seems that the only solution is to replace the gas tank. it has happened to many people with similar model jeeps. *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.

During fueling, when the fuel pump nozzle automatically stops the flow of gasoline , fuel surges back through the filler tube and vigorously splashes out on the side of the vehicle and anything or person within 2 to 3 feet of the fuel filler. this occurs every time the fuel tank is filled. it has spilled fuel on every fill up (at least one cup), despite precautions (slowing filling rate). manufacturer and dealer have done nothing to correct this problem, this happens every time i fill up.

At around the 50k mileage mark, fuel would gush out when filling up the tank. tried different gas stations, old and brand new pumps, all resulted in gas gushing out as the pump turned off. chrysler-jeep service replaced the fuel filler tube. topped off the gas tank after the "fix", seemed good. let the tank go down to less than 1/4 then filled the tank and the gas gushed out yet again! this is both a safety and environment issue. please request jeep to find a real fix for this and issue a recall.

When i fill my jeep up with fuel it always overflows with fuel spewing on me the ground and my vehicle. nothing seems to change it not slowing down the pump or anything. my research brings me to it being a failure with the rollover/checkvalve at the bottom of the filler tube failing to close allowing fuel to overflow. here are some examples of other people with the same problem http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/gas-spilling-over-when-filling-872096/ i have two more friends with jeeps with the same problem. nothing was done to fix the issue it isn't covered under warranty. was going to enter my vin but the vin entry doesn't work. so no vin. *tr

While filling gas tank in san diego at the same location i had filled up at many times the fuel pump kicked off and in less than a second later gas came squirting out of the vent holes with enough force to spray gas 3 - 4 feet away from the car. i initially thought it may be a problem with the pump but over the last 10 month this has occurred at many different gas stations. i have also tried filling at the lowest speed of the pump but it will still spray out. it stopped for a month or so but has started up again over this last month. this is very dangerous when it comes out with enough force to get into someone's eyes or possibly cause a fire. the first time this happened my shirt and pants were sprayed with gas. *tr

2005 jeep wrangler ejects gasoline at every fill-up. after the pump clicks the vehicle filler neck shoots out a considerable amount of fuel (aprox 1cup +). on a windy day about a month ago, the fuel came out with enough force to go all over the vehicle, me, and onto my face. the problem is consistent and causes a substantial amount of fuel to spill out at every fill-up. *tr

I was towing my 2005 jeep wrangler when a passing motorist signaled me that there was a problem. i stopped and checked the jeep which was covered with an oily material. i had a tow truck tow the jeep to san marcos chrysler/jeep. it was determined that it was necessary to rebuild the front and rear differentials and replace the transfer case and both front axles. they claimed it was caused by having a one size larger tire on the front tires than the back tires. this would only cause the problem if the car was driven in 4 wheel drive which it never was. *tr

Gas tank overflow: i bough the jeep over 1 year ago. 3 out of 4 times i fill up the tank, the gasoline overflows out the tank and sprays me or the ground. it happened this morning too. *tr

Every time i fill up at the gas station fuel gushes out everywhere after the pump shuts off automatically.

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.

I own a 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon. nearly every time i fill up at a gas station the gas nozzle does not click off when the tank is near full and gas runs down over the side of the car, the fender and onto the ground (and sometimes onto clothes/shoes). i have owned the jeep for almost a year now (i am the second owner) and it has done this ever since i purchased it. *tr

We own a 2005 jeep tj wrangler. when hitting a bump it shakes violently and you have to come to a complete stop before it will stop. i have done a lot of research on this problem and find that it is very common with this year and model of jeep. we have replaced the steering damper, sway bar ends, track bar bushings, all new shocks, brakes and rotors, tires balanced and rotated several times with no avail. this is a serious issue and we cannot seem to get any answers. the jeep has 60,00 miles on it and is completely stock with no modifications on it. it is very dangerous drive, but my only vehicle for transportation to my job. my warranty does not cover suspension and steering so everything i have done has been at my own expense. this issue can cause a serious wreck and for a young driver could be fatal. can you please look into this situation. we are stuck with what we have, as we are still paying on it. we can get no answers, except keep replacing parts with better quality ones. which brings the questions up, why did they use less than good quality when it was built. *tr

2005 jeep wrangler experiences high speed wobble every day at speeds above 45 mph. this is a very common problem with jeep vehicles. internet users refer to the condition as "death wobble." i would not want that name associated with any of my products. i got rid of a 2001 jeep grand cherokee that did the same thing. the steering wheel shakes so violently that the brakes must be applied at high speed to correct the problem. this is dangerous for vehicles following and could cause an accident. i absolutely do not let my wife or kids drive this car. i don't want to be the one who confirms the death wobble moniker. the failure occurs daily. i have balanced the tires repeatedly and rotated and cross rotated tires. even broken down tires and rotated them on rims to achieve optimal balance. i will never own another jeep product. they need to step up and fix this problem. *tr

I bought my 2005 jeep brand new off the lot. within a year i began to notice the "death wobble". i had been a very moderate driver, and had less than 10,000 miles on the vehicle. when i took the jeep to the dealer, they replaced the stabilizer arm, which the warranty covered, but the problem remained. the dealer then rotated and balanced my tires and adjusted my alignment. they charged me over $200 for that. this seemed to mask the problem for about a year, then the "death wobble" returned. i took the jeep to a different dealership where i was promptly sold 2 new tires (stock uniroyal tiger paws @ $104 each) and a steering dampener. total cost this time was well over $500. this took care of the wobble for about a year. now the wobble is back, and i'm wondering what to do. i can't afford another dealer to fleece me again, and i hear jeep isn't acknowledging this wide-spread problem. they should issue a recall. in the meantime though, i love my jeep and want it fixed. i don't want it to kill me or anyone else. does anyone know of anything that can be done to resolve this problem? i can't afford $200-$500 every year on band-aid solutions. *tr

Tj wrangler jeep. when filling the gas tank at the end of the filling it spills gas out of the tank all over the place. the gas will gush out and get all over the jeep and the person filling the tank. *tr

A valve inside the fuel tank is faulty leading to fuel spillage after the gas nozzle clicks off due to pressure buildup. this is a very common problem for this car, and completely unacceptable and it seems jeep does not want to do anything. this is a safety hazard, as fuel spills all over the side of the vehicle and ground. this is also an emissions issue. *tr

Every time i fill the gas tank, it overflows after the nozzle clicks closed. the only way i've found to prevent this is to 'guess' when the tank is almost full, then put my ear to the opening and listen for fuel coming to the top. that's dangerous and should be unnecessary. this has been happening over the last two years. *tr

My fuel tank overflows every time i fill up, spilling gasoline all over my jeep, gas cap, and ground. can be very dangerous, especially if standing by gas tank while filling up. what if a small kid walks up to my car when it spills out? i see 86+ complaints on this site for this exact problem and nothing has been done! it's been happening to me for well over 3 years. *tr

Every time i refuel my 2005 jeep wrangler a large amount of fuel spits out of the fuel filler onto the ground. it appears to be a problem with the design of the check valve built into the fuel tank. this manufacturing defect is a major fire hazard as well as an environmental hazard. *tr

My 2005 jeep wrangler rubicon overflows fuel every time i fill up the gas tank. for some reason the gas pump will never stop filling the tank automatically until a large amount of fuel comes spilling out of the fill tube. i have read many complaints about this issue on jeep forums online, and feel that chrysler should be recalling affected models to fix this issue. *tr

On march 13, 2010, my 2005 jeep wrangler displayed a check engine light. the code was p0302. when cleared, the code did not return and the jeep ran normally until approximately march 26, when it went into a "limp mode" (rev limiter moved to 2500 rpm) after being revved to 4500 rpm. when restarted, the vehicle ran fine, although the check engine light came on. the code was p0344. when the code was cleared, it did not reappear. however, revving the engine to 4500 rpm in all gears except reverse (n-1-2-3-4-5-6) reproduced the above results without fail. on march 28, a replacement camshaft position sensor was ordered by myself, and was installed on april 2. after the install, revving the engine to 4500 rpm once again put the vehicle into a "limp mode". i made the decision to take the jeep to south point chrysler dodge jeep in austin, tx. on may 6, i was informed that standard diagnostics could not find the issue, and the dealer requested 4 hours of tear-down time to inspect the camshaft area for damage based on recommendations from chrysler. upon approval, it was discovered that the oil pump gear and camshaft were heavily damaged possibly due to causes outlined in nhtsa item # 10013784. when chrysler was contacted for this, they informed me that, along with the fact that the vin of my jeep is outside of the vin range of the tsb, there was no "definitive proof" that the oil pump gear had damaged the camshaft as opposed to vice versa and they would be unable to assist in the repair cost. i am requesting an expanded tsb on this issue, as there appears to be more problems here than chrysler is willing to admit. *tr

I have a 2005 jeep wrangler rocky mountain edition. every fill up results in an overflow of gas because the nozzle does not automatically shut off until the tank overflows. this has been going on for a few months and was never a problem before. *tr

My 2005 jeep wrangler sport has a fuel tank overflow issue. when filling the tank up it inevitably overflows regardless of what station, existing fuel level or type of filler nozzle. it is also my understanding that this issue is rather widespread. i initially believed that something had simply broken, but after a bit of research i am not alone. please look into this. *tr

2005 jeep wrangler fuel spilling when fueled. at around 20,000 miles every time i fill up the tank gas is spit out. i have never had this problem with any other vehicle i have driven. i even tried running the nozzle at the slowest speed possible, and it will still spit some out. talking to other jeep owners we have determined that this is a major issue effecting mostly 2004 wranglers and newer. this is a safety issue, environmental issue, if not careful it can cover the person fueling with gas, and other people if they are close enough, and it wastes precious gas. *tr

Fuel overflow when refueling. *tr

2005 jeep wrangler. gas tank overflows every time it is filled up. gas comes gushing out as pump stops.

Everytime the gas tank is filled up, fuel comes launching out from around the pump handle spraying anyone standing within a couple of feet of the pump. this occurs every time the tank is filled, at every gas station. jeep has suggested a replacement tank, but with no assurances that it will solve the problem. the results of a online search indicates a replacement tank will not solve the problem.

1. filling the gas tank in my 2005 jeep wrangler, if i allow the pump to actually fill it up (until you hear the "click" sound) just before the click gas sprays out of the filler nozzle (at least a couple cups worth). 2. this happens every single time i let the pump fill my tank until full. i very quickly learned that i'd have to just estimate how much gas i needed, round down, and not fill up all the way (manually). 3. i took it to the jeep dealer, and they said they didn't find anything wrong with my fuel filler or tank, despite this being a widely documented issue on www.jeepforum.com. on a later page it kept saying it was invalid, even though i know this is correct. *tr

2005 jeep wrangler lj/tj rubicon unlimited when filling up with gasoline the tank overflows out of the vehicle spraying onto the operartor of the gas pump and flooding the immediate area and on the ground. this is very dangerous and the operator of the pump is covered in gas and fumes this could cause a fire and damage to the skin and eyes; in worse case scenario an explosion if a cell phone is in ones pocket or nearby. please recall these vehicles immediately; it happens to almost every jeep wrangler and eventually will effect all. this is not from topping off or using a high pressure gas nozzle or one gas station. this happens no matter where i am and if i don't time if correctly gasoline will be all over the place. although not serious, at one time gasoline did spray enough on a windy day to hit me in the eye causing a burning sensation and redness obviously i could not operate the vehicle for about 10 minutes. if a young child is near by this would be a serious issue.

05 jeep wrangler, fuel overflows while filling tank causing fuel spill on ground and anything/anyone in the way. happens every time i fill the tank.

I bought the jeep as a certified pre-owned chrysler. i've only owned the jeep for a month and noticed gas pumps do not shut off when filling the tank. i've tried multiple pumps, at different gas stations. it happens about 90% of the time. the local dealership said it's not something covered under warranty. seems like a major safety hazard. *tr

Everything i fill my 05 jeep wrangler the gas spews out when the nozzle cuts off. this is something that started a few months ago. before then was normal when filled. i talked to the jeep dealer and was informed that there was no recall or anything that can be done. *dt

At the end of the pumping of gas, it spews out the fuel line and all over my jeep and the ground. this seems like a safety and ecological issue. i have tried everything from pumping fast to slow, nozzle right side up to upside down, all the way in and half way out. nothing stops the problem. *tr

2005 jeep wrangler with 39,000 miles shakes violently on the freeway at 50-75 mph. almost lost control and then could only get the vehicle under control by slowing to 40mph and almost got re-ended. 1) there was a bump in the road and the vehicle started shaking 2) almost lost control, then near miss by vehicles behind me when i had to reduce speed to 40mph to regain control 3) i will be sending the vehicle to the shop, but from what i have read, there have been many complaints by other owners and nothing the dealer does to fix this problem has worked. *tr

There is a problem with my fuel tank, every time i fill up, regardless of the gas station i go to, fuel overflows from my 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited onto the pavement. i have tried over 30 different gas stations in 3 different states. i have heard this same complaint from many other jeep and chrysler product owners. the constant exposure to fuel is damaging the paint on my fender and i can only imagine it is not good for the pavement. also, i have to worry about fire every time i fill up. *tr

Gas tank overflows at the pump, not the first time - has happened many, many times since i purchased the jeep. probably 7 out of ten times. *tr

When refueling, fuel will overflow from the filler neck before the pump will stop. once the fuel comes out, the pump will then stop. this has happened regularly at different gas stations and results in approximately 0.25 gallon of fuel on the vehicle and ground. *tr

Fuel surges back out of fill tube while refueling. this happens everytime i refuel no matter what gas station, gas pump, how much fuel is added. about a quart of fuel will burp back out and will splash on the vehicle, ground, and person refueling the jeep. i took my jeep to the dealership where they admitted the problem is a faulty check valve located inside of the gas tank. the only repair is to replace the gas tank. i had to pay for the repairs because i'm the second owner of the vehicle which is only 5 years old and has 53,000 miles. this is clearly a manufactures defect and a safety issue that should be looked into and should be considered to be a recall at the manufactures expense. *tr

Gas tank overflow: the gas tank will spurt gas out automatically when it is full rather than having the pump click to inform you that it is full. *tr

1) when filling gas tank with nozzle correctly inserted into fuel tank filler, the gas will overflow out of tank before nozzle shuts off. gasoline then spills all over the vehicle and on the tarmac. creating a fire hazard. 2) this occurs 90% of the time i gas up. every time it leaves a puddle of gas at the station and my vehicle is covered with gas as well. 3) so far i have not performed any service to correct failure. *tr

Every time i fill up the fuel tank it overflows, no matter which station or position of filler nozzle. *tr

2005 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited - when fueling my vehicle at a gas station and reaching the "full" level gas spills out onto the vehicle and anything close by because of an inefficient design in the two pressure tubes on the fuel tank. this is a known issue with jeep wrangler tj/lj models amongst the jeeping communities but no action has ever been taken to address this by any agency or company. there are significant numbers of jeep wranglers owners reporting this problem but no action has ever been taken because as of yet no resulting loss of life or significant harm has occurred. i have personally experienced this issue at almost every occasion where i had to stop and fuel my vehicle. it has occurred at both older gas stations without spill resistant nozzles and gas stations with the newer spill resistant pressure nozzles. i believe this is due to the design of the jeep gas tank having one of the two pressure tubes involving an inner tube that extends several inches into the tank to attempt to equalize pressure which actually creates an air imbalance that allows for fuel to surge back up the spout during refueling when the fuel flow into the tank is stopped. *tr

I have a 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited. this vehicle has a fuel overflow spill problem every time i gas it up. as a matter of fact, i have been banned from a local gas station because i constantly spill fuel due to a jeep defect that does not shut the fuel pump prior to fill. clearly a safety and environmental problem. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. there was an excessive amount of fuel spillage coming from the fuel tank. the contact stated that the failure occurred whenever he was dispensing fuel into the fuel tank, with a response of fuel spraying out of the tank. the failure continued for a couple of seconds when the fuel tank reached full capacity. the vehicle has not been repaired for the malfunction at this time. the failure mileage was 40,000. updated 3/17/10 *cn the consumer stated it happened at every fill-up. fuel will spill on the ground. the fuel dispenser will shut off when the tank is full, but fuel still sprays out. updated 05/06/10.*jb

While at the pump the gas nozzle kicks off and then about a pint of fuel dumps out of the vehicle. this is widely known on the wranglers, with the oldest vehicle i've heard this happening to is from '98 and newest a 2009. jeep redesigned the wrangler in '97 including the fuel system, so i'm sure there's a defect in the fuel system. chrysler's answer is to just replace the tank which will eventually fail again. this can be a serious hazard and could easily cause a fire. one guy said it dumped fuel on his boots while another guy had fuel spray him from head to toe. here is a few links from one forum showing the issue including a few videos (fast forward to the last 20 seconds) and many complaints about this issue. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/have-fuel-spill-problems-like-many-us-submit-complaint-force-recall-974337/ http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/gas-spilling-over-when-filling-872096/. *tr

I own a 2005 jeep wrangler with 29,500 miles on it. recently, the front-end has started to wobble/shake violently at speeds around 40-45 miles per hour causing near loss of control. when it happens, the only solution is to apply the brakes and come to a complete stop. i have checked the internet and it appears to be very common, in fact, it has been labeled the "death wobble". problem is, no one seems to have identified the exact cause or fix. some of the recommendations include: install after-market heavy steering stabilizer (did that, no change), alignment, wheel balance, steering box, camber angle, etc. any suggestions? *tr

My 2005 jeep wrangler spews gas out the filler every time i fill it up. this started around 30,000 miles and has been doing it since. fortunately this has not caused any serious problem yet but spilling gas every time i fill up is not only a waste but a hazard to the environment and a dangerous situation. this is not a lone incident, many reports of this exact issue have come up on internet forums and other jeep owners of similar years who i know. people are even posting videos of it on u tube! from my limited research this appears to be a faulty valve in the gas tank, which dealerships are not covering under warranty. *tr

I own a 2005 jeep wrangler lwb, recently, every time i fill up with fuel,gas shoots out of the fuel filler. this defect is well documented on the jeep website forums. it seems chrysler is replacing some fuel tanks, as they are attributed to the rollover valve, built into the tank. but, as i see it, this is a design flaw, as the tanks they are replacing, will in time, do the same thing. your timely investigation of this matter, is of utmost importance. the violence of some of the spills i have witnessed, deserve immediate action. *tr

Hello, our 2005 jeep wrangler has an issue with gas spilling out of the gas tank whenever it is filled up at the gas station. a significant volume of gasoline sprays outward onto the driver, and down the side of the vehicle, which i believe may be a safety concern. it seems this is a design flaw and is quite common, as i have even seen video documentation on web sites such as "youtube." *tr

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

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

I purchased my jeep in may of 2005. since that time the engine light has come on and the o2 sensor replaced three times. the light is on again. i truly feel there has been a malfunction in these sensors, since i talk to other jeep owners and they have the same issue. can you fix this under a recall? *tr

Gas tank always spills over on the side of my 2005 jeep wrangler, and usually on myself. has been a recurring problem since my first fill-up. *tr

I have on multiple occasions had fuel overflow (actually more shoot out) while fueling my 2005 jeep wrangler rubicon. it occurs as the fuel is nearing full. this has happened at many different fueling locations and i always pump on the lowest setting. i have even been sprayed manually filling the tank. after reading the tj technical forum on jeepforum.com this seems to be an extremely common problem. the approximate incident date is the last time this happened. *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

1. two months ago while at the gas station filling the tank of my 2005 jeep wrangler x, the pump did not shutoff and fuel spilled. i thought this was a problem with the stations pump, so i decided to try a different station for my next fill-up. a week later; while filling at another station the same problem occurred. 2. in the three instances the over flow happened; i was holding the fill handle in the 6 o'clock position, the nozzle was fully inserted into the fill hole, and i had the handle fully depressed (nozzle wide open). as the tank reached full, it did not automatically shutoff, it continued filling until about a quart of gasoline spilled onto the side of my vehicle and the ground. i have contacted chrysler's warranty department, service contracts department, goodwill team, and senior resolution team to make them aware of the defect and request them to take action. unfortunately, i believe my calls are being simply marked to a case file and no investigatory action is being taken. i can easily see an incident such as mine leading to injury of an unknowing chrysler owner. if any static charge is present (i.e. in clothing or the vehicle) when the overflow occurs the gas will ignite. the problem poses the greatest threat when it happens the first time, because the owner will have no warning signals of a failed part(s) and therefore will not be expecting the spill. 3. to avoid this problem from happening; i know longer fill my tank to its' full 16 gallon capacity. i have taken my vehicle to the local jeep dealership and they have advised that i need to replace the vapor canister. *tr

Fuel spill; during refueling there is a splash back of fuel when tank is filled. i am in fear of a fire due to the spilled fuel. and the spilled fuel is now causing damage to the vehicles paint. also what enviromental impact is the spilled fuel having? *tr

2005 jeep wrangler x gas tank auto-shut off malfunction the auto-shut off of the gas pump when the tank is detected as full has malfunctioned several times causing an overflow and spillage of gasoline when re-fueling. this is regardless of the gas station (company) and pump, it appears the auto-shut off is not working correctly. the vehicle is less than 5 years old and has 52,000 miles. *tr

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

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

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

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

While refueling vehicle when tank reaches almost full gas surges out of fill tube. i have heard of numerous wrangler owners with the same problem. #1 this is extremely dangerous due to the possibility of fire and #2 cannot be friendly to our environment by spilling about a quart of gasoline on ground everytime i fill up. *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

Starting at approximately 25000 miles, gas began spilling out of the filler nozzle during refueling. this occurs regardless of station location. the jeep was brought to a mechanic who claimed it was an issue inside the tank. no repairs have been made at this time. problem still occurs. *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

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.

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. whenever the contact drives over 40 mph, the front end of the vehicle shimmies. as a result, he lost control of the vehicle. the dealer stated that the vehicle could not be diagnosed. the current mileage was 54,000 and failure mileage was 30,000.

Jeep shakes violently when a bump is hit or road is uneven. the problem started about 2 months after purchasing the used vehicle. the problem did not show itself during the test drive but after investigating through the internet their are several jeep wrangler owners with the "deathwobble" problem. i clicked on your link provided by a local television news station wsoc channel 9 in charlotte, nc after they covered a story about another chrysler vehicle. i implore you to do what is right and ask chrysler to recall or repair, at their expense, my vehicle and other vehicles affected by this defect. an extended warranty was purchased from the dealership, crossroads ford p&a code 00994, and we were told at the time of purchase chrysler's warranty was still valid. after taking it back to the dealer several times and even taking it to the jeep dealership no one will accept accountability. we have no other choice but to drive it and fear for the life of our son. *tr

I have had a problem with my six speed manual transmission in my 2005 jeep wrangler since january, 2006. while my vehicle was still under warranty i had the dealership take a look at it they told me there was nothing wrong with it. since then i have had three transmissions put in my jeep at my cost and it still pops out of first gear. it sounds like somebody ran into me. the dealership as i know now was aware of the problem and did not want to fix it. my jeep is no longer under warranty and thanks alot. *tr

I was driving on texas f.m. 722 in the afternoon. it had started to hail and i had slowed to appx. 45 mph when i lost all steering. my jeep skidded sideways then went into the bar ditch and through a fence, narrowly missing a power pole. further evaluation by a mechanic showed that the steering gear box shaft had been cracked, "for a long time", based on the rust present half way through the shaft. the shaft then snapped as i was slowing down causing complete steering failure. *tr

Multiple defective 6 speed manual transmissions. i have had three transmissions installed in my jeep, and all have the same problems, hard to pull out of first, and grinding during up shifts from first to second and second to third. i have found multiple other owners of the same vehicle on the internet that have the same problem, but chrysler has not come up with fix for the problem. the issue can be hazardous, if you are trying to accelerate in traffic, you can't because the transmission won't go into gear. *tr

I cannot fill my gas tank full without gas coming out spilling on the vehicle and on me. i own a 2005 jeep wrangler. it only has 25,258 miles on it. when i purchased the vehicle i did not purchase an extended warranty. i spoke to chrysler motors corp customer center (1-800-992-1997) (ref. #18329606) on february 10, 2009 about this safety issue. i am requesting that chrysler repairs the gas tank for me because lives are at danger when the vehicle is filled up with gas and gas comes out of the tank. gas is getting on the vehicle, my hands and the ground at the pump. armbruster motor co. (1-800-766-0980) informed me on february 6, 2009, the only way to correct this issue was to purchase a new gas tank. the cost of a new gas tank would be around $500.00. chrysler told me that they will not pay for a new gas tank but if i pay for the new gas tank they would cover the new tank for 12 months or 12,000 miles. i believe chrysler should pay for this repair because they designed the faulty gas tank that was originally placed on the vehicle. this is an extremely dangerous situation when i fill my vehicle with gas. it is not like the radio doesn't work, spilled gas is a fire hazard. *tr thank you, jennifer willman

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 jeep wrangler. while driving 45 mph over a bump in the road, the front end would shake so severely that the contact would have to stop the vehicle in order for it to stop jerking up and down. the vehicle would operate normally on occasion; however, if he drove over a bump, the shaking would occur. he took the vehicle to the dealer approximately ten times, but they could not duplicate the failure when they test drove the vehicle. the manufacturer advised him to take the vehicle to a dealer. they also stated that they would send a representative to the dealer to inspect the vehicle, but they never did. the current mileage was 21,437 and failure mileage was approximately 5. updated 10-30-08 *bf updated 10/31/08. *jb

Steering dampener needs replacing on 2005 jeep wrangler. the wheel shakes so bad at 50 mph if you hit a bump it can be ripped from your hands. part is backorder until august. dealership said that there is a waiting list of 2000 people for this part. thus it might warrant a recall. *tr

Driving wrangler at 50 mph when the front end began to shake violently. this was very traumatic, i had to pull off the road. when i searched the internet, i found that this has been a recurring problem among jeep owners. dealership didn't seem to know about problem. dealer stated that the steering damper and stabilizer bar went bad. of course these items were not covered by warranty. jeep needs to acknowledge problem and fix it. someone is going to die from this. please google "death wobble"happened to my wife and children. will not take kids in this vehicle. *tr

2005 jeep wrangler x. this is a stock vehicle, no modifications. between 45-55 mph both accelerating and decelerating has the death wobble (dw). first major dw was june 07 (12,819 miles) as i was driving on a smooth speed limit 50mph road, dealer replaced both steering damper and front trac bar. next major dw in april 08, dealer replaced front trac bar again. next major dw 1 may 08, dealer replaced steering gear. next major dw 12 may 08, dealer stated manufacturer has developed a stronger steering damper and there are over 1,600 on back order, expect to be installed in july 08. current mileage is 20,631. the jeep death wobble is a serious safety issue and jeep needs to fix it. dealer service manager and lead jeep mechanic both state this is a recurring problem on jeep wranglers. *tr

My 2005 jeep wrangler jumps out of first gear, it sounds like someone has slammed into me. the dealership has replaced the shifters and the synchronizers, it still does this, they say they are not spending any more money trying to repair it, even though it is under warranty. could be deadly if you are pulling out or if it is parked and pops out of gear. *tr

I have researched "death wobble" in jeep wranglers extensively and found that not only is this a wide spread problem, but jeep completely denies it's existence. what happens is at 40-70 miles per hour a harmonic action starts the front end vibrating and will cause a severe shimmy, to the point where the vehicle needs to be slowed or stopped. this has happened on the freeway and streets, both with hair raising results and near miss accidents. i have replaced tires, shocks, stabilizers, springs. this will fix the problem for a short time but eventually it comes back. under warranty they fix a couple things which masks the problem, but it still will return. this is a design flaw, jeep issue and they will not repair or acknowledge this problem. the designers need to come up with a fix, with a recall and soon before people are killed. *tr

I have a 2005 jeep wrangler. i am the original owner and it is the original windshield. on december 13, 2007 the windshield cracked while i was driving. there were two cracks (possibly initiated from one point below the molding). the cracks started on the bottom just off center and went up about two inches and then curved 90 degrees and went horizontally across the windshield. the jeep warranty book says it covers defects in the glass for one year or 12,000 miles. since my jeep was past this point my insurance covered it. they had safelite autoglass put in a new windshield on december 27, 2007. six days later¿ on january 2, 2008 on my way to work the windshield cracked again while driving. the replacement windshield was less than one week old! this time there were three cracks. one went straight up from the bottom of the windshield to the top, molding to molding. the other two were similar to the first time. they began at the bottom, went up two inches and turned 90 degrees and became horizontal cracks. the cracks could have initiated from a single point below the molding. this time the cracks started more toward the center, about 4 inches closer to the driver side than the first cracked windshield. the auto glass technician said that cracked windshields are a common problem with jeep wranglers. i have read online forums and a lot of jeep owners are having this same issue. also, a co-worker had the same thing happen to his jeep. he went through 2 windshields in 3 years. it sounds like a systematic safety issue with jeep wranglers. i hope that jeep will correct this quality deficiency before anyone gets hurt. i called the jeep customer service number and they told me that they couldn¿t correct their defective vehicle. if the windshield cracks or ¿spider webs¿ while driving on a highway, this issue could lead to a severe accident and/or death if it hasn't already.*cn

I purchased my jeep wrangler in july of 2005 brand new. in july of 2005 i started experiencing a vibrating when braking at speeds of 45mph and above. the problem still persists. i had it looked at by a local technician who said if he had to guess he would assume the rotors had 50,000 miles on them. the funny thing is the only have half of that at 25,000 miles. the local dealerships are claiming that there is no warranty on the brakes and the recent recall has nothing to do with the wrangler and/or wrangler unlimited models, stating it only applies to the grand cherokee even though there are several complaints. *tr

I bought my 2005 jeep unlimited with 6,000 miles on it. i have been to the dealership seven times to have it fixed. my major complaint is it surges out of control when taking my foot off the brakes from a stopped position. it does it in drive and in reverse without warning. the dealership has no solution. i also have a problem with the steering wheel shaking once i hit a small bump in the road,as small as the reflectors that line the middle of streets. there are times the steering wheel shakes so hard that i have to let go of the steering wheel. they have replaced my steering stabilizer arm,i've had the rotors turned i've replaced the brakes.replacing the stabilizer arm seemed to help for a short time. my other issue with this lovley death trap of mine is when i run the a/c the whole thing bogs down like i'm pulling an eighteen wheeler out of a ditch. the dealership solution was to come in and test drive another jeep to see if i "actually have a problem". when i take my car to the dealership they keep it for at least two weeks and the problems are still there.my advice to other jeep owners with these problems is to always take the back roads and always leave a car length of space all the way around your jeep, and never use the a/c!these problems began at about 10,000 miles and my jeep just rolled over32,000 miles. *jb

We purchased our 2005 jeep wrangler x used in may of 2006. the first time we took it above 50 mph, we noticed a serious vibration in the front end. we took it back to the dealer, they checked it out and could not find anything wrong. we took it back to the dealer again about two weeks later, and they took it to a jeep dealer and had there mechanics look at it, and they couldn't find anything wrong. after taking it back and complaining again, they came to the conclusion that the tires were bad. they replaced the tires. that seemed to solve the problem for a little while. since then, we never took the vehicle on highways or any roads that you had to travel above 50 mph. we just had it inspected in june of 2007, and it passed with no problems. two days ago, we had to travel on an interestate that the speed limit was 65. we never made it above 55. we had to brake and the front end began to shake so bad that we almost lost control of the vehicle. i know of other people that have had the same problem with the same year jeep. there is a very serious problem going on with these vehicles. i just hope that someone doesn't have to be killed before something is done about it. needless to say, this jeep will never see 55 mph again until this problem is resolved. also, now we now why someone would get rid of it. it only has 29000 miles on it. i have an 88 bronco ii that i feel safer driving than i do this jeep.

Since i have owned the 2005 jeep wrangler 2 door i have complained about vibration when i hit a bump at about 30-35 mph that s tarts shaking the vehicle so violently i have to slow down to below 5 mph. the jeep jerks all of the road out of control until i slow down. the dealer has replaced several parts on the suspension. the dealer is kings jeep 513-774-5333. i have also seen on web at this address http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqvkg2lp4r4 . this problem may lead to loss of control and or a death. jeep needs to address this as it appears to be an issue with other jeeps too.*ak

I had the first experience with the front end shimmying when i had approximately 15,000 miles on the jeep. it happened after crossing a seam in the pavement on the highway at 70 mph. it happened several times since then when hitting any small bump in the road. i took the jeep to the dealer, and they replaced the steering stabilizer with a heavy duty model but it made no difference. i still had the problem. i could not let my wife or children drive this vehicle because it could easily send you either off the road or into oncoming traffic when the shimmy occurs. you have to come to almost a complete stop before it will stop shaking and drive normal again. *ak

Unintended acceleration / engine flare. can be anticipated and vehicle movement prevented in 2 wheel drive, high range but will overpower brakes when in 4 wheel drive , low range. occurrence not consistent or repeatable on demand but is frequent. can occur with application (or release) of power brake, turning of steering wheel (power steering) or air condition cycling. when this happens in technical trail maneuvers (off road conditions in treacherous terrain) or in close proximity to trees, large rocks, abrupt drop-offs along road, the results are potentially deadly. no corrective action can be taken by any, non factory representative as this is a programming issue with the vehicle computer. this vehicle is not unique. the "dealer" is unable to reproduce the symptom. *jb

Blower controls/resistor pack short out, fail and cause wiring harness to melt for the hvac blower and blower controls. blower wiring harness appears to pull the full current of the blower motor through the whole switch controls wiring harness, this causes an overload condition and overheats the wiring of the control system, causing severe melting of the plastic components and poses a severe fire risk. *nm

Rear plastic window cracked in cold weather. told by dealer that this is a common problem and plastic windows cannot be touched in cold weather. nothing in the owner's manual states this policy. dealer advised not to remove snow/ice, brush window, touch window, or contact window with water in cold weather. dealer employee stated that they will not touch a plastic window unless they warm the plastic up first. jeep will not replace under warranty, stating environmental factors. possible safety hazard in not being able to wash vehicle in cold weather or remove snow/ice. this leaves no visibility out of rear window. *nm

There was an uncontrollable shaking during braking mainly at high speeds of >45 mph and small shaking at <45mph. i knew it was the rotors being warped. the shaking started when there was ~10000 miles on the vehicle. i took the vehicle into the service place at suburban chrysler jeep and they confirmed the issue with the rotors being out of round. although the milage of my vehicle when it was fixed was ~18000 miles they still machined the rotors free of charge. this solved the problem. i now have 24000 miles on the vehicle and the problem is non existent. *nm

My 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited began having an intermittent squeak this summer. at the end of october the dealer informed me that the vehicle needs the brake pads and rotors replaced and that this item was not covered under warranty. the vehicle has only 26,000 miles and i have never had to replace brake pads this early in other vehicles i have owned. i called the chrysler customer care line and was told that they could do nothing about the problem.

My 2005 jeep wrangler purchased from moothart jeep was experiencing an uncontrollable shaking at speeds between 30-40 mph. i had to pull off the freeway to get it checked out. mechanic told me it was a problem with the rotors. when i called the dealer to explain the problem, they dismissed the rotors as the cause and blamed my all-terrain tires (without even looking at the car) and stated that my warranty would not cover it because of these new tires. car was towed to the dealership anyway and they blamed stabilizer. they claimed to have replaced the stabilizer under warranty (out of courtesy). when i picked up the car and tried to drive it home, the car was shaking worse than when it came in on the tow truck. i called the service manager who told me that the tires were too heavy for the car. i inquired about why a 4-wheel drive off-vehicle car would not be able to handle all-terrain tires. he had no logical answer for me. i brought the car to my mechanic (who specializes in tires) to check the tires and anything that could be causing this. they ultimately fixed the defective rotor, and the cars runs fine. he told me that the tires were fine; it was a problem with the rotors. during this process, i contacted daimler chrysler about this issue and they told me all service problems are the responsibility of the service manager at that particular dealership. i informed them that i had already spoke to him and he refused to attribute the problem to anything else but the tires. they gave me information regarding the lemon laws in california. the car had only 9,303 miles when this problem occurred and only 1.5 years old. the vehicle came with a 7-year warranty, but they refused to look at the rotors on the car. *jb

Noticed a burning smell and thought it was one of four trucks ahead of me. pulled off onto my exit and continued to notice the smell. smoke began pouring from the dash. i had seen the service department the same morning and informed them my blower motor had been working intermittently. they verified the problem and ordered a new motor. upon inspection of my vehicle i notice that the area around the blower motor is extremely hot. blower motor has the following: label 1 valeo:kjlhd 929520g rev a -- pass 11-18-4 10:10:50 label 2 bosch made in mexico dpl 653 12v 9 000 025 075 19 904 929431h cw 49104 1. *nm

Dt*: the contact stated that the vehicle accelerated uncontrollably while making a turn. the vehicle performed as if it was going to stall and then suddenly the vehicle leaped forward. applying pressure to the brake pedal prevented the vehicle from moving forward but drastically increased the vehicle's rpm. sudden acceleration occurred periodically when attempting to stop the vehicle, make a turn, or when the cruise control was engaged. sudden acceleration has also occurred while the vehicle was in reverse. the vehicle was taken to the dealer five times however they could not determine the cause of the problem. the manufacturer has not been contacted

Dt*: the contact stated that while traveling 67 mph on the highway a bumpy vibration was observed coming from the driver side tires. while attempting to apply the brakes, the tire malfunctioned causing the vehicle to spin out of control and crashing into a guard rail in the emergency lane. severe injuries were incurred to the driver and minor injuries to the passenger. there was damage to the body of the vehicle. the sidewall of driver's rear tires were completely damaged. the damaged tire were removed and replaced with the spare. a police report was filed. the officer advised the vehicle was safe to drive. the vehicle was taken to the dealers who determined that the cause of incident was due to improper tire inflation. the contact expressed that the tire failure may be due to a manufacturer defect. the hydraulic valve for the brake system was repaired. the manufacturer determined that an inspector would be sent to examine the vehicle. however, the inspector refused to provided reports of the examination.

2005 rubicon-2480 miles. engine indicator light has come on for the 8th time. dealer checked with digital reader which identifies "small evaporative leak". first time, tightened gas cap, but dealer had turned off the indicator light with the reader. third occurrence dealer scheduled check of exhaust and clean air system, all tested fine. last 4 times i disconnected battery until light reset. dealer has changed hands, and just scheduled for another check, mentioned replacing gas cap. this appears to be a nuisance issue rather than a serious defect. i wish they could fix it once and for all. i am not sure how this new dealer will support the warranty issues. formerly they were great. *jb

Uncontrollable handling ( in the front end) when going an excess speed of 45 miles or more and hit any kind /size bump in road. found out it was the stabilizer bar. when i first took my car in (months ago) they told me ( chrysler) it was my rotors. didn't understand how my rotors could do that since i wasn't braking at the time the shaking was happening. i ended up taking it to a mechanic and they figured out what it was. the guys at chrysler have a nickname for it; "sudden death". not once did i get a recall letter about this problem. they must of been worried about it because it only took them about 2 hours to fix it. they went and bought an after market stabilizer bar. i have had oil changes from the same place that have taken longer. i had the car for about a year when i first noticed the shaking but i heard about other wranglers having the same problem. someone needs to let other jeep owners about this problem . it's very dangerous. *jb

Consumer complaint regarding tire pressure in the 30 inch tires. *ts the vehicle came factory equipped with 30 inch tires, which was an upgrade option from the standard 15 inch tire. however upon having the vehicle serviced the consumer was informed that the tire pressure on the specifications label - 29 psi - was incorrect. the correct tire pressure for the 30 inch tires is 40 psi. the consumer contacted the manufacturer for clarification and was told that the correct tire inflation was actually 38 psi. the dealer informed the consumer that the label was correct and that the listed value of 29 psi is a minimum pressure only. a new label was supposed to be mailed but never arrived. *nm updated 11/16/05. *jb

Yesterday i was sitting at a stop sign with my foot resting on the brake. i was not pressing the pedal actively, but the brakes were applied. the jeep surged forward. my foot was no where near the gas pedal, yet the jeep revved and moved about a foot. i pressed hard on the brake and it stopped, but took a second to rev back down. the engine was cold as it had not been started in 4 days and i was only about 1 minute into the drive. has anyone had this happen? anyone know the cause? the jeep is a 2005 rubicon, automatic. this has now happened 3 times. twice while the engine was cold, once while warm after an hour long drive. each time it occurred while the rpm load was very low. twice at a stop sign, once while pulling into my driveway. i posted on a rubicon message board to see if anyone had seen this and here are some of the responses: "when i pull into my drive, which has a slight incline and deep az rain gutters, if i slow enough to avoid slamming the bump stops i don't have enough momentum to make it all the way up. on the occasions that i try to idle up i have gotten the surge which launches me into the garage the first time i was stopped by my work bench saying hello to my brush guard" "yes, this has happened to me a few times. i have an 05 rubicon with an automatic transmission...." "i've been wondering about that. my '05 auto does the same thing, rear ended a car the first time it did it...." "mine will do that sometimes going up my driveway into the garage. i have to take it slow to get it lined up perfectly and that is when it happens..." "mine did this a few times a week after i bought it. had it to the dealer twice, they found no issues...." and a link to the post: http://www.rubiconownersforum.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?p=238239#238239

At 3611 miles,i took my 05 unlimited wrangler back to the dealer. i complained about extreme bumpiness and partial control loss when going over bumps and railroad tracks. also the rear glass rattles, and the wiper gets stuck in between the tire rack. the dealer said that handling was normal characteristic for the vehicle. they replaced tire mount bracket and adjusted rear glass. so far i have taken this vehicle to 2 different jeep dealerships 5 times, for the same problems and it has not been resolved. *nm

The main issue of concern is what i describe as surging, what i mean is the vehicle wants to go without any input from the driver. what i have determined is that the vehicle has a fluctuating idle rpm as opposed to a steady idle rpm and when the idle rpm drops below an acceptable level the computer sends a signal to kick the throttle and the vehicle then surges. i have reported this problem to my dealer and they responded by saying they couldn't verify the concern. a co-worker recently purchased the same vehicle type, engine transmission and so on and has reported the same issue to her dealer and was also told that the concern was not verifiable. *jb

Bought new 2005 jeep wrangler x 8/3/05 took on trip and soon was overwhelmed with butane/exhaust smell if windows or vent was open; eventually came leaking through ac. smell bad enough to make you nauseous which eventually became numb nose/lips and burning eyes for two hours after driving. took to dealership and was fluffed, i.e., could have been a plastic bag, only smell was new car smell, etc., they even claimed to have driven it with windows down. this was impossible so i sent my husband there and service manager experienced the burning eyes and nausea during ride. called jeep and was told they couldn't discuss any systemic problems, referred me to dealers. 2nd fix attempt 9/15/05 @1344 miles resulted in "no fault codes in system, performed fuel system monitor test reading not in specs, excessive fuel through system." changed software, wrote "road tested vehicle, has slight residue odor. cat converter baffles have some interior fuel coating that will need to be burned off. will take about 500 miles of driving to burn all coating from inside of exhaust system." i was told to drive it "50 miles". they also had to repaint the spiderweb /defect paint to the tune of $454. back in 9/22/05 @ 1508 miles as paint was deteriorating all over. sent for full repaint quote ($3353- have to wait for jeep zone mgr ok) mpg has declined from 19 to 17 after 2nd service visit. today 9/26/05, the 3rd trip in on smell after agreeing to try a short trip. same result/symptoms; i never will get the hard top off. told service do not return it until the catalytic converter, seals, exhaust, whatever, no longer smells. now the rear windshield wiper sticks in the spare tire/was inoperable, apparently manufacturer put on the wrong blade via service. also was told that i was the only wrangler x with the exhaust/butane smell problem but see another as early as 3/10/05. i don't know what excuse i'll hear on this the 3rd attempt, but wonder if smell is carbon monoxide related. *nm

Butane exhaust smell overcomes driver/passengers malfunctioning rear wiper paint failing. *nm

Odi 10137688 follow up kudos to jeep for standing by their product, they are currently replacing the entire exhaust system and i am hopeful this remedies the overwhelming exhaust smell coming into the passenger compartment. hope the paint issue goes as well. *nm

Six speed manual transmission grinds going into reverse/ pops out of reverse. dealership provided technical bulletin stating this condition will lead to an eventual loss of forward drive gears if not corrected. however, problem was unable to be duplicated on several occasions and subsequently was not repaired. *nm

Gas pedal and brake pedal to close to one another. while driving my vehicle this weekend. my shoe got stuck between the gas and brake pedal, causing the vehicle to accelerate. i lost control of the vehicle, was unable to stop and hit another parked vehicle causing over $3600 in repairs to the parked car, the estimated damage to my car is the same. have there been previous safety issues?*jb

Normal driving results in a change in the shifting action of the automatic electronic transmission. if the vehicle is warm the electronic buzz lengthens and prevents the shifting from one gear position to the next. the transmission rumbles and skips before changing to the next gear for a second or more. the gears clearly are not engaging in a timely manner and prevents ready movement after shifting to a new gear position. after long drives this is noticeable during normal unhurried parking maneuvers. this action was initially observed at about 384 miles on odometer and brought to the attention of the dealer. the second problems has occurred on 5 or more occasions where the idle speed does not go to normal after removing pressure from the accelerator. was first noticed on hills in city of san francisco and has been noticed in traffic on several other occasions. the engine noise is quite audible when this occurs and idles above 1000 and carries vehicle at 10 plus mph on flat surfaces. the vehicle also surges after short drives and is noticeable in parking lots or garage parking. there have been three "dangerous" instances while in traffic. this will occur in both reverse and forward drives. the drive train also has a loud resonating sound which sounds as though the rotating is not uniform at low speeds. the dealer says this is a normal sound. all of these concerns were observed after about 300 miles and brought to the attention of the dealer. the dealer does not acknowledge hearing the gear sounds, said the idle would adjust after 3600 miles and has not addressed the surging. *nm

I was involved in an accident on 9/11/05. i stepped on the brake in a hard manor, but since the brake is very close to the gas pedal, my foot was half on the gas and half on the brake. the jeep took off as i applied more pressure. i could not control the jeep, i slammed into a wood fence, then into a parked car. causing major damage. this is very poor design by chrysler and dangerous, luckily no one was hurt. check the distance between the gas and brake pedal. *jb

While test driving, air conditioner did not work, i was assured that it would be fixed by time of pick up (july 11). the air worked when i picked up the vehicle, however, the check engine light was on. air conditioning gave out 2 weeks later, took in for repair and they said the hose was cracked. when i picked it up after the air conditioner repairs, i didn't even leave the parking lot and the check engine light went on again. i have owned the car for 28 days and it has been in the shop for 10 days. dealer does not want to make restitution.*jb

2005 jeep wrangler sport. purchased 4/17/2005. automatic transmission is shifting from 4rd to 3rd and from 2nd to 1st without control, while driving, then remains in 1st gear and no longer shifts. 5 days in shop and nothing was found. 3200 miles on vehicle. danger of posible loss of vehicle control is imminent when shifting gears without control. probable cause of major accident. this problem has occurred two times.. going back to shop. no dtc code available. *jb

Vehicle has problems with drivability and safety issues with its suspension along with goodyear tires being out of round and/or manufactured with internals not correctly molded in tire.

Never received a recall notice from the manufacturer re: oil pump failures, but a recall existed on this vehicle. notice was aparently sent in march 2005 to owners, but nothing was ever received. recall was performed after i learned about it from a third party.

Tire inflation specification label shows incorrect tire pressure for 30 inch wheel group.

2005 jeep wrangler purchased 4/13. on 4/12 transmission light came on in traffic, vehicle lurched forward and would no longer shift gear (automatic transmission) in shop for past 8 days. dealer states possible bad seals. less than 600 miles on vehicle. also vehicle sold without recall work being completed on vehicle, vehicle is now pending recall work on camshaft and oil pump.

I was backing up at night on a steep curved driveway. my front wheels went over the curb. with the front wheels over the curb, i elected to go forward over the curve and down the grade. the body cleared the curb, and i slowly negotiated going forward over the curb. the rear wheels cleared, and when they did the car bounced. i heard the rear bumper hit the curb. the resulting bounce caused the bumper to come up and crimp the corner panels of the body, worse on the left than the right. the action also cracked the fiber glass roof on the right. none of the under car was damaged. there was no visible mark on the tail pipe either. note that this was simply going over a curb in a vehicle listed as trail rated. the mechanic at the body shop speculates that either the bushing connecting the bumper to the frame is inadequate or the extended length of the jeep unlimited makes to too flexible; it lacks a central support.*ak

Accelarator pedal felt notchy and stuck down upon delivery. service department said it was a normal characteristic of this vehicle type. however, upon inspection consumer found that the vehicle's carpet was protruding, obstructing the pedal. carpet needed to be secured in order to prevent further obstruction.

Noticed car was pulling to one side. then, i called dealer to report it. they looked at car and found nothing today, i was putting a tow hook on the rear end and noticed that brake fluid was leaking , not really bad but noticeable to anyone with eyes that can see a few inches in front of face. driver's side rear drum was leaking size of dollar bill up to dollar size across give or take a half of one to fill in gaps. 2. car pulled to one side hard when braking 3. was put on waiting list to resolve issue only car for me my wife has a pt but she uses it for work when i need a car so they really don't care much about it which might fail soon too. *ak

2005 jeep wrangler x model had check engine light come on 20 days after purchase as a new vehicle. also, overwhelming smell comparable to butane present inside the vehicle during longer drives and accelerating. jeep was serviced 14mar05, light is off but smell still persists. was told it could be coating on parts of engine or transmission burning off, but car is well outside of break-in period with about 2,000 miles on it. dealership where serviced called to say the vehicle needed to be brought back several days later due to a code that came up on the diagnostics. vehicle is currently being serviced again.*ak

My contact with you today involves a fuel spit back problem during refueling on my 2005 jeep wrangler (tj). i am aware of many bulletins and recalls regarding this problem, my vehicle is included in one such bulletin however falls outside of any coverage for repair of this problem by the manufacturer. my question is; how can the manufacturer cover repairs and provide an extended or in some cases a lifetime warranty on this flaw for 2007 and 2008 vehicles and ignore all of the other model years that have the same flaw? this repair will cost me nearly one thousand dollars whereas some people get the problem resolved at no cost to them. please help. *tr

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
