2005 Jeep Wrangler

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

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

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
