2005 Jeep Wrangler

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

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 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

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

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.
