2005 JEEP WRANGLER Fuelpropulsion System Problems

At every fuel fill up, gasoline splashes back out onto the vehicle, the person filling the vehicle and creates a very unsafe puddle of gasoline on the ground. There is never a time that it does not happen. I would be readily available to make my vehicle available for inspection of this concern. Chrysler has issued recalls for this exact problem on several of their vehicle models all within the same time period of manufacturing. The fuel tank inlet check valve is a widely known and dangerous issue that should be seriously considered to repair the remaining vehicles on the road with this problem. It has been documented by numerous owners of Jeep Wranglers from 2005-2006 while the same issue forced a recall of the same Jeeps in later model years, 2007-2008. The Jeep has been inspected by a certified mechanic where I was notified of much of this information....

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.

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.

EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK FUEL SPILLS OUT THE FILLER NECK CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT FUEL SPILL. THE JEEP IS STATIONARY AND ON LEVEL GROUND AT THE GAS STATION

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.

GAS TANK OVERFLOW. ANYTIME I FILL MY TANK, A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SHOOTS BACK OUT OF THE TANK, DRIPPING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR, AND OFTEN SPLASHING ME OR GAS ATTENDANT. NOT ONLY IS THIS DANGEROUS, IT IS ALSO DAMAGING THE PLASTIC AND PAINT ON MY CAR, AS WELL AS WASTING GAS.

WHILE FILLING WITH FUEL, IT WILL SPIT FUEL BACK OUT AND WILL NOT FILL WITH GAS PROPERLY. HAVE TRIED GOING AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE ON THE FUEL LEVER WHILE FUELING AND WILL STILL SPIT GAS BACK OUT LIKE THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE FUEL FILLER HOSE AND FLAP INSIDE IT.

WHEN PUTTING GAS INTO THE JEEP, THE NOZZLE DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AND GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE GAS LINE (AT THE POINT WHERE THE CAP GOES ON).

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, GASOLINE ROUTINELY BACK FLOWS AS IT GETS FULL. THIS CAUSES GASOLINE TO SPILL OVER THE FUEL FILLER DOOR AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR THREE YEARS AND SINCE 51K MILES WERE ON IT. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN REFUELING.

GAS OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS OUT OF VEHICLE WHEN FUELING.

WHEN HAVING TO FILL UP ON GAS IT IS OVERFLOWING. EVEN IF YOU SET THE CONTROL ON THE PUMP, WHEN YOU PULL OUT THE NOZZLE, GAS IS SPILLING ALL OVER THE JEEP, FLOOR AND HAS EVEN HAS SPILLED ALL OVER MYSELF. THIS FULL TANK NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL CONSUMERS.

AS THE FUEL TANK IS BEING FILLED WITH FUEL AND THE FUEL PUMP CUTS OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, THE TANK ALLOWS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL TO BE "BURPED" OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER ONTO THE VEHICLE, GROUND, AND THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED AT EVERY FUEL DEPOT.

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, FUEL COMES OUT WITHOUT WARNING AND SPILLS ALL OVER THE GROUND AND THE VEHICLE. WHEN ADJACENT TO A HOT BRAKE CALIPER, THIS COULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. ABOUT A PINT OF FUEL IS SPILLED WITH EVERY FILL-UP. IF THE OPERATOR TRIES TO LISTEN FOR THE FUEL TO COME UP THE FILLER TO STOP, THERE IS A SPLASH AND EYE HAZARD.

ALSO FUEL TANK OVERFLOW SHUTOFF VALVE DOES NOT WORK. WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK, FUEL OVERFLOWS ON CAR AND PERSON PUMPING GAS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED. MULTIPLE YEARS OF JEEP WRANGLERS WERE RECALLED, INCLUDING MANY 05'S FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE PUMPING FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE, FUEL SPEWED OUT. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROLLOVER CHECK VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN FILLING FUEL WILL NOT SHUT OFF CAUSING FUEL OVERFLOW, WHICH SHOOTS OUT OF FUEL FILLER HOSE.

WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK WITH GAS, THE PUMP DOESN'T SHUT OFF RESULTING IN GAS LEAKING ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE GROUND. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHERS THAT HAVE THIS SAME VEHICLE. IMAGE READ IT IS A FAULTY DESIGN AND FAULTY IVC .

FUEL SPILLS/SPRAYS OUT OF FILLER WHEN REFUELING. PUMP SHUT-OFF DOES NOT ENGAGE CORRECTLY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS REFUELED AND RESULTS IN EXCESS FUEL SPILLAGE ON VEHICLE AND GROUND.

GAS OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING GAS TANK. WHEN AUTO FILL LEVER IS ENGAGED AND TANK IS FULL GAS BURPS AND OVERFLOWS SPILLING ON GROUND

LIKE ALL THE OTHER JEEP WRANGLERS MINE CANNOT FILL UP WITH GAS WITHOUT THE GAS OVERFLOWING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THIS CAUSES POLLUTION, DAMAGES THE FINISH OF THE CAR AS WELL AS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE MAKE THEM RECALL THIS GAS ISSUE AS THE FLAPPER IN THE LINE GETS STUCK OPEN. AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT ALL THE FORUMS SEEM TO SAY. IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE JUST GO TO YOUTUBE --> HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/RESULTS?SEARCH_QUERY=JEEP+WRANGLER+GAS+OVERFLOW OR PUT IN ANY OTHER SIMILAR SEARCH. THE MAJORITY OF THE JEEPS ON THE ROAD HAVE THIS ISSUE.

WHEN REFUELING THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF BEFORE GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FUEL INLET.

WHEN FUELING VEHICLE TANK OVERFLOWS LEAVING GASOLINE ON SIDE OF VEHICLE, ON SELF (HANDS, CLOTHING, SHOES, ETC.). NOT ONLY IS THIS UNECONOMICAL, BUT UNSAFE, UNHEALTHY, AND ENVIRONMENTALLY UNSOUND. I ORIGINALLY BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR IN MAY OF 2010, THE DEALER CLAIMED THE EVAPORATION CANISTER WAS CLOGGED SO THEY REPLACED THE CANISTER AND FILTER FOR ALMOST $300. FOUR MONTHS LATER, IN OCTOBER OF 2010, I WAS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND RETURNED TO THE DEALER. THEY THEN CLAIMED THE ROLL OVER VALVE WAS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION AND I NOW NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK FOR ALMOST $800. I DECLINED AND WAS CHARGED $100 FOR THEIR TROUBLE. I NOW DON'T EVER FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ONLINE IN DIFFERENT FORUMS AND NOW HERE ON THIS WEBSITE. I DO BELIEVE JEEP NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS OBVIOUSLY ONGOING PROBLEM.

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY STOP FILLING WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, WHICH RESULTS IN GAS SQUIRTING OUT OF THE FILLER. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GET GAS. GETTING GAS ON MYSELF, MY CLOTHES, MY SHOES AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON MY TO DO LIST. JEEP/CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL OR NOTICE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS A FIRE HAZARD AND IS NOT SAFE FOR WHOMEVER IS PUMPING GAS.

WHEN FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK THE BACK FLOW PREVENTER DOES NOT WORK AND UP TO A CUP OF GASOLINE WILL SPILL OUT OF THE NOZZLE LEAVING A FLAMMABLE MESS THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED.

EVERYTIME, WHILE FILLING MY TANK FUEL WILL SPILL OUT AS THE AUTO SHUT OFF ENGAGES ON THE PUMP. FUEL WILL SPILL OUT ONTO THE GROUND, MY CLOTHES, MY HANDS AND THE SIDE OF MY JEEP. I AM NOT ATTEMPTING TO TOP OFF MY TANK WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURS, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK HOWEVER I HOLD THE HANDLE WHEN THE AUTO SHUT OFF ENGAGES.

REGARDING MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS OR MORE. FUEL SYSTEM/TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK. INSTEAD OF STOPPING, GAS SPEWS FROM THE FILL VALVE ONTO THE VEHICLE, GROUND, AND PERSON FILLING THE TANK. THIS IS NOT ONLY UNSAFE AND UNECONOMICAL, BUT BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND ONES HEALTH.

UNLESS I STOP FUELING PRIOR TO A COMPLETE FILL UP, GAS WILL SPILL OUT. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO A COUPLE DIFFERENT JEEP SERVICE ADVISORS AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIPS THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF WHAT IS CAUSING IT. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER.

FUEL DUMPS OUT OF FILLER HOSE WHEN CLOSE TO FILLED UP, HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I FIRST FILLED ,NOW ALMOST 5 YEARS HAVE STILL SEEN NO SOLUTION UNLESS I HAVE DO MYSELF. *TR

WHEN FUELING VEHICLE, FUEL WILL SPLASH OUT OF THE FILL TUBE BEFORE FILLER NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FUEL AND AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I ESTIMATE MY TOTAL FUEL SPILLED OVER THE PAST DECADE TO BE IN THE AREA OF 300 GALLONS. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, IT OVER FLOW SPRAYING GAS OUT CREATING A SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL HAZARD. *TR

THE GAS TANK WILL OVERFLOW WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE. *TR

AT ANY REFUELING, BEFORE THE FUEL PUMP AUTO SHUT OFF IS ENGAGED, THERE IS FUEL SPIT BACK OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER. IT RUNS DOWN THE CORNER PANEL AND BEHIND THE LEFT REAR FENDER FLARE, AS WELL AS ONTO THE GROUND. DEPENDING ON WHAT SETTING YOU HAVE THE PUMP HANDLE SET TO (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW), DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH FUEL IS SPAT BACK OUT. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP, EVEN ON THE LOWEST SETTING, THE AUTO SHUT-OFF DOESN'T OCCUR AND GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WOULD SPILL FROM THE TANK EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS RE-FUELED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

FUEL FILLER SHUT OF FLAP DOES NOT SHUT OFF FUEL FILLER RESULTING IN GAS SPILLING OUT OF VEHICAL ON TO THE GROUND. *TR

SINCE PURCHASE IN NOVEMBER, THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS SHOT FUEL OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER WHEN IT REACHES A FULL TANK. THE GAS PUMP WILL SHUT OFF, BUT NEVER BEFORE IT HAS EXPELLED FUEL ONTO ME PERSONALLY, MY SHOES, THE GROUND, THE FILLER CAP (WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE BY TETHER), AND DOWN THE BODY PANEL BELOW THE FILLER. THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE AND HEALTH HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND OTHER PATRONS OF THE FUEL STATION. *TR

THE EVAPORATED SYSTEM IN THE JEEP IN TURNING ENGINE LIGHT AND WILL NOT PASS SAFETY AND EMISSIONS WITHOUT FIXING IT. WE HAVE A NEW FUEL CAP AND HAVE ALSO CHECKED THE CONSOLE AND IT STILL TURNS ON HEARD THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT NO RECALLS FOR IT. *TR

DURING FILL UP, GAS OVERFLOWED CAUSING DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD. SEE VIDEO HTTP://YOUTU.BE/4ROFZV8Z1EW. *TR

EVERY FILL UP THE FUEL SPLASHES BACK OUT OF THE FILL TUBE, SPILLING ABOUT A CUP OF FUEL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND.THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF THE FILL RATE. I HAVE LOOKED THE FUEL SYSTEM OVER TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, AND CAN'T COME UP WITH THE CAUSE. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS AT CALIFORNIA PUMPS, THE NOZZLE KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW I TRY TO FILL, WHAT ANGLE I TURN THE NOZZLE, OR HOW DEEP I ENTER THE NOZZLE, IT KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. IT TAKES ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO FILL THE TANK, A FEW SECONDS AT A TIME. *JS

EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK, THE FUEL "BURPS" BACK AND ANYWHERE FROM ONE TO TWO QUARTS OF GAS IS SPILLED. *TR

WHEN PUTTING GAS IN FUEL TANK IN JEEP WHEN FILLING UP TO FULL MARK GAS COMES OUT OF SPOUT AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF JEEP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE JEEP IS FILLED UP. AT ANY GAS STATION. *TR

DURING FILL UP OF THE FUEL TANK, FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER HOLE RESULTING IN A HEATH HAZARD, FIRE HAZARD, & ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! *TR

FUEL OVER FLOWS WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE AT GAS STATION FUEL BLOWS OUT OF THE TANK ALL OVER THE GROUND.. THIS IS A ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE.. AND FIRE HAZARD. *TR

GAS OVERFLOWS DURING FILLUP. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE TANK, THE SHUTOFF DOES NOT WORK AT ANY GAS STATION. THE FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK. THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND RESULTS IN ME NOT BEING ABLE TO FILL UP MY VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, I WORRY THAT THE SHUTOFF WOULD NOT WORK IN CASE OF ROLLOVER. *TR

HAPPENS PERIODICALLY, NO FOREWARNINGS JUST HAPPENS, ALWAYS WHEN GOING SLOW OR REVERSING LIKE TO PARK OR BACK INTO PARKING SPOT.....UNINTENDED ACCELERATION....SCARES THE BEJEBERS OUT OF THE PERSON DRIVING, SINCE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GONNA HAPPEN.....I BOUGHT THE JEEP USED (LIKE MAYBE A YEAR OLD) WITH 14,--- MILES ON IT...NOW HAVE ABOUT 52,--- MILES ON IT....ALL STREET DRIVING, NO OFF ROAD DRIVING..HAS HAPPENED FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN I BOUGHT IT... *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS SOME SPILL OUTS. FUEL SHUT OFF DOES NOT WORK. EVERY TIME I FILL UP AT EVERY STATION. *TR

WHEN FUELING, GAS OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME NO MATTER HOW CAREFUL IN FUELING AND WHEN PUMP SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY IT GUSHES OUT CREATING HAZARDOUS SITUATION ,NOT TO MENTION ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. *TR

WHEN I GET GAS THE PUMP DOESN'T SHUT OFF AND GAS SPILLS ON THE GROUND. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT MANY DIFFERENT FILLING STATIONS. *JS
