APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASING MY USED 2005 WRANGLER, GAS STARTED TO OVERFLOW FROM THE FILLER TUBE UPON FUELING. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED, I THOUGHT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE PUMP SHUT-OFF AT THE STATION UNTIL IT HAPPENED THE NEXT TIME AND THE NEXT AND SO ON. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS WITH NO RESOLVE. A GOOD AMOUNT OF GAS WILL SPILL OUT OF THE TANK ONCE THE TANK HAS REACHED CAPACITY, SPRAYING GAS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS CAN BE MINIMIZED BY SLOWING THE FLOW FROM THE NOZZLE, BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL WHEN THE TANK IS GOING TO BE FULL OR NOT. THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE AS THERE IS NOW A VOLATILE SUBSTANCE ON THE GROUND, BUT AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE AS THERE IS NOW GASOLINE THAT COULD EASILY ENTER THE GROUND WATER. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, HAS ADMITTED THAT IT AFFECTS OTHER MODEL YEARS YET REFUSES TO ACCEPT FURTHER RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
JUST BOUGHT THE JEEP LATE SEPTEMBER AND EVERYTIME I FILL IT THE GAS SPILLS OUT ALL OVER ME, THE JEEP AND THE GROUND. ITS NOT ALWAYS RELIABLE TO GUESS WHEN IT IS CLOSE TO DONE SO I TEND TO STAND BACK SO IT MISSES ME. STILL GAS GOES EVERYWHERE WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND THE PRICE TO FIX IT HAS DOUBLED. THE JEEP DEALER TELLS ME THAT THEY COVER THE FIX FOR 2007 AND 2008 BUT NOT 2006. REALLY? WHY WOULD THAT BE?
