2005 Jeep Wrangler

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

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

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

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
