2005 Jeep Wrangler

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.

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.

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 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.

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
