WHEN FILLING JEEP WRANGLER, THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUTOFF FEATURE OF PUMP DOES NOT WORK, AND GAS SPRAYS OUT BRIEFLY BEFORE SHUTTING OFF, SPILLING ON VEHICLE, OPERATOR, AND GROUND.

WHEN FILLING JEEP WRANGLER, THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUTOFF FEATURE OF PUMP DOES NOT WORK, AND GAS SPRAYS OUT BRIEFLY BEFORE SHUTTING OFF, SPILLING ON VEHICLE, OPERATOR, AND GROUND. I HAVE HAD TANK REPLACED BY DEALER AT 50,000 MILES, COST OF $350 TO ME. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE CLOSED THE INVESTIGATION INTO THIS, AND IF SO, YOU ARE TRULY INCOMPETENT IDIOTS (I'M SORRY, BUT COME ON). THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WITH SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL NEGATIVE IMPACT! EVEN THOUGH I HAVE REPLACED MY TANK AT SOME PERSONAL EXPENSE, I BELIEVE THAT IT IS WITH THE SAME PRODUCT, AND I FULLY EXPECT IT TO FAIL AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. WOULDN'T YOU EXPECT A MODERN VEHICLE, EVEN A "SIMPLE" ONE TO BE ABLE TO FILL WITHOUT GETTING GAS ON YOURSELF, THE VEHICLE, AND THE GROUND?!!! PLEASE CONSIDER RE-OPENING THE CASE; THE IDEA THAT THE INTERNET CREATED THIS PROBLEM IS RIDICULOUS.

JEEP SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER AT FREEWAY SPEED. ALMOST GOT CREAMED BY SEMI. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER ON SHOULDER, RESTARTED ENGINE AND LIMPED HOME UNDER 2500 RPM. ANY HIGHER RPM RESULTED IN COMPLETE POWER LOSS. RAN OBD GOT "INTERMITTENT CAM SENSOR". TRIED TO CHANGE SENSOR BUT ASSEMBLY WAS FULL OF METAL SHAVINGS. DID RESEARCH FOUND OUT THAT THE OIL PUMP DRIVE ASSEMBLY IS FAULTY. PART ON BACK ORDER, NO ONE HAS IT. COMMON PROBLEM WITH 05 MODELS DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN. VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN DESTROY ENGINE.

GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE JUST BEFORE THE TANK REACHES FULL AND THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS PROBLEM DID NOT APPEAR UNTIL I OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR AND NOW HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT EACH TIME I FILL MY TANK. FUEL PUMP KICKS OFF AS DESIGNED, BUT IS FOLLOWED BY 2-3 CUPS OF GAS SPILLING OUT WITH FORCE THAT COVERS THE PUMP HANDLE, SIDE OF VEHICLE, GROUND UNDER VEHICLE, AND ANYONE STANDING TOO CLOSE. *TR

NOTHING LEADING UP TO IT. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK. IT OVERFLOWS ALL OVER THE GROUND. IT HAS HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGHT MY JEEP BRAND NEW IN 2006. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT EXCEPT NEVER ACTUALLY FILL IT ALL THE WAY I USUALLY STOP ABOUT A GALLON OR TWO SHORT. BUT SOMETIMES DON'T LET GO OF THE PUMP IN TIME AND I…
