2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS 80% OF THE TIME I FILL UP. ONCE, IT KEPT RUNNING WITHOUT STOPPING AND SPILLING 5-10 GALLONS. THIS CAUSED ME TO SLIP IN THE GAS RESULTING IN WHIPLASH WHICH I AM STILL HAVING TO ADDRESS 2 MONTHS LATER. THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD, SAFETY HAZARD, ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN AND MONETARY PROBLEM AND JEEP/CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THE PROBLEM AND ISSUE A RECALL. IF NOT, THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO FORCE THE ISSUE. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY JEEP WITH GASOLINE, AT THE END OF FILLING THE TANK, GAS WILL COME UP OUT OF THE TANK, THROUGH THE GAS HOLE AND SPILL ON THE FLOOR. THIS COULD CAUSE A POTENTIAL FIRE. *TR

EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO FILL MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER'S TANK TO FULL, GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FUEL TUBE AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THIS IS AT LEAST 8OZ OF FUEL EASILY GUSHING OUT AND IS A FIRE HAZARD. I AM THE SECOND OWNER, AND HAVE ONLY OWNED IT SINCE 7/31/10. I HAVE FILLED THE TANK 4 TIMES AND ALL 4 TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED. A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED A WRANGLER FORUM WHERE COUNTLESS JEEP OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, CHRYSLER WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE PAID FOR NUMEROUS GAS TANKS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NOT CALLED CHRYSLER YET, BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW THE RUNAROUND I WILL ENCOUNTER BASED ON OTHER'S EXPERIENCE, AND AM WAITING UNTIL I HAVE SOME TIME OFF NEXT WEEK TO DEVOTE TO THIS FRUSTRATING PHONE CALL. *TR

AT THE 65K MILE MARK EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE GAS WILL OVERFLOW AND SPILL OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THERE ARE ALOT OF TJ OWNERS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO. IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE IF I HAVE THE TOP OFF MY 3 YEAR OLD SON SIDES RIGHT ABOVE THE FUEL FILLER TUBE AND GAS COULD SPLASH ONTO HIM. *TR

I OWN A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON. IT IS UNMODIFIED. IT WILL CONSISTENTLY OVERFLOW AT THE GAS PUMP IF I FILL THE TANK. THEREFORE, I MUST MONITOR THE PUMP CLOSELY AND STOP SHORT OF FILLING THE TANK TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM. SOMETHING IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. *TR
