WHEN FUELING THE GAS TANK, GAS WILL SPEW OUT IN LARGE VOLUMES BEFORE THE GAS PUMP HABDLE DEACTIVATE ALLOWING GAS TO SPILL OVER THE SIDE OF JEEP AND ON TO THE GROUND. IT HAPPENS AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND MULTIPLE PUMPS. PROBLEM IS WITH JEEP, NOT THE GAS PUMP HANDLE. SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS A MIRIAD OF THE SAME PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. NOTE: HAS HAPPENED ALOT PRACTICALLY EVERYTIME, NOT JUST THE DATE ENTERED.

MY JEEP OVERFLOWS GASOLINE EVERYTIME I FILL UP AT THE PUMP

NHTSA ODI 11080716

IN JULY 2017, VEHICLE DID NOT PASS EMISSION REQUIREMENTS AT STATE INSPECTION. UPON INVESTIGATION, DETERMINATION WAS MADE THAT A PLASTIC HOSE CONNECTION ON TOP OF TANK HAD BROKEN AND THAT ENTIRE TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPLACEMENT AVAILABILITY WAS NOT A PROBLEM - OVER 100 IN STOCK LOCALLY (REALLY? THIS MUST BE A RECURRING PROBLEM!) REPLACEMENT COST, PARTS & LABOR - $1200.) FIRST REPLACEMENT HAD SAME PROBLEM AND WAS REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AT NO COST. SECOND REPLACEMENT HAS NOW DEVELOPED SAME ISSUE & AND NOW, AFTER APPROXIMATELY 6+ MONTHS MUST BE REPLACED AGAIN. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY ACCIDENT, OR TRAUMA OF ANY KIND TO VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH REPLACEMENT COST IS NOT TO BE IGNORED, IT IS MY CONTENTION THAT THIS OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW CREATES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER, GASOLINE WOULD FREE-FLOW FROM THE TANK ONTO THE MUFFLER.

JUST BOUGHT THE JEEP, USED IN DEC 2017. EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK, THE FUEL BACKS UP THE FILLER NECK CAUSING A MESS ON MY JEEP AND THE GROUND. EVERY TIME.

NHTSA ODI 11079467

EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK I HAVE GASOLINE SPRAY BACK AND OVERFILL POURING OUT FROM THE GAS TANK. THE GAS SPILLS ALL OVER MYSELF, MY JEEP AND THE GROUND. HAPPENS EVERY TIME REGARDLESS OF WHERE I FILL UP.

NHTSA ODI 11076106

OUR JEEP HAS BEEN "SLIPPING" OUT OF GEAR, NO KNOWN CAUSE HAS BEEN FOUND. THE JEEP WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN IN GEAR (MANUAL) WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, HE DOWNSHIFTED AND IT GOT WORSE FROM THERE. MY HUSBAND PULLED OVER THE JEEP AND WAS UNABLE TO GET POWER TO START AND PLACE IN GEAR.

GAS SHOOTING BACK AT ME WHEN I FILL UP. HORRENDOUS AND A SAFETY ISSUE. ALL OVER MY CHILD NEXT TO ME. I WANT TO SUE JEEP.

I HAVE A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON, I BOUGHT IT NEW AND IT HAS NOT BEEN OFF ROAD EXCEPT IN A FIELD OR TWO AND THE ONLY MUD IT HAS SEEN IS FROM THE ROAD. IT HAS NOT BEEN LIFTED NOR DOES IT HAVE OVER SIZED TIRES. I HAVE HAD MY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT COME ON A FEW TIMES IN THE 6 YEARS I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE, BUT IT HAS ALWAYS WENT RIGHT BACK OFF. IT AND THE ABS CAME ON A FEW WEEKS AGO AND WILL NOT GO OFF, BECAUSE IT THINKS MY VEHICLE IS SLIDING OR SPINNING, THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKES WILL GRAB AND IT CUTS THE POWER TO THE ENGINE. TODAY I WAS PULLING OUT ONTO A MAIN ROAD AND THE BRAKES WERE ACTING LIKE THE ABS(THAT WARNING LIGHT IS ALSO ON) WAS PULSING, I COULD FEEL IT IN THE PEDAL. AS I HIT THE GAS TO PULL ONTO A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY, THE ESC LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND CUT THE POWER TO MY ENGINE AND I COULD NOT GO. AS I WAS IN A MERGE LANE I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY CUT TO THE RIGHT AND GET BACK OFF THE ROAD BEFORE I WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ORDERED THE WIRING HARNESS (BROKEN WIRE THEY SAID) TO FIX IT 2 WEEKS AGO AND THEY HAVEN'T CONTACTED ME THAT IT IS IN YET. BUT I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE THE WIRING IS RAN THROUGH THE FRAME THEY HAVE TO PULL THE BODY OFF TO REPLACE IT. YES IT IS GOING TO COST A LOT TO FIX, BUT I WILL ALSO HAVE TO ARRANGE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP(WHICH IS ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY) AND UNTIL I AM ABLE TO DO THAT, I STILL HAVE TO DRIVE IT. I CONTACTED JEEP AND TALKED TO SOMEONE WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THE CONCERNS I HAVE WITH BEING ABLE TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND THE BRAKES HOLDING ME BACK AND ASKING IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY SAID NO AND WASN'T REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT IT. AND ALSO, THE WARNING LIGHTS COME AND GO, FLASH AND IT WON'T GO, AS IT DID TODAY WHEN I TRIED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC.

JEEP ACCELERATION WAS UNCONTROLLED AND CONTINUE TO RAISE TO HIGH RPM WHILE DRIVING IN THE HIGH WAY AND TOOK IT DEALER AND REPORTED TO JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WE WERE BY JEEP CUSTOMER CARE MANAGERS CHRIS AND SAMATHA IS THAT THE OEM MAT EVEN THOUGH STILL HOOKED TO THE HOLE WAS TURNED AND CAUSE THE PROBLEM TO ACCELERATE UNCONTROLLED MANNER AND CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FILET NECK. THE GAS DOES NOT STOP WHEN YOUR FILLING IT. THE GAS OVERRATED ALL THE TIME. THE PERSON AT THE GAS STATION SAYS IT HAPPENS W ALL THE JEEP'S. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE WHEN THE GAS SPILLS OUT. ALSO JEEP SAYS IT'S A PROBLEM BUT SAYS THERE ISN'T A RECALL

ON THE 2011 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2011 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A LETTER STATING THAT SOME JEEPS MAY HAVE A RECALL ON THIS SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT I DO NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.

GASOLINE WILL OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK. IT ALSO PRODUCES BACK PRESSURE WHEN FILLING CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF PREMATURELY.

NHTSA ODI 11019258

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG SYSTEM SO I FINALLY TOOK IT IN AND HAD IT REPAIRED BUT THE LIGHT DID NOT GO OFF AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT I HAVE NO AIRBAGS BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS NO BUT THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH RECALL SO I NEED TO PAY TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS? WHY WOULD MY AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON AND THEN I GET A RECALL BUT YET THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT?? I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT I THINK AT LEAST A YEAR OR MORE AGO WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE RECALL CAME OUT BUT NOBODY HAD PARTS.

NHTSA ODI 11016431

AIR BAG LIGHT RANDOMLY CAME ON AND CONTINUES TO COME ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT . ALSO, GAS CAP HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND THE GASCAP LIGHT STAYS ON . THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY THROW OUT BEARING PRELOAD ON MY JEEP. I HAVE NOTICED THERE IS A TSB 06-002-07 FOR THE TJ AND JK WRANGLERS YEAR 2007 AND BEFORE. I HAVE CALLED JEEP AND THEY HAVE NO RECORD ON THE THROW OUT BEARING FOR MY YEAR JEEP. AS SOON AS I GO TO GOOGLE THERE'S 100S OF PAGES ABOUT PRELOAD PROBLEMS ON THE THROW OUT BEARING. THEY HAVE ALSO RECOMMENDED A BEARING THREW NATIONAL BEARING AND SEALS BUT I HAVEN'T TRIED THAT YET. I HAD IT REPLACED IN NOVEMBER 2016 AND ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH CARMAX SAYING IT WAS MY DRIVING AND ALSO I HAD TO GO BACK AND FORTH MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE OF THERE FAULTY WORK. IT STARTED TO ACT UP AGAIN LOAD SQUEAL WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS DEPRESSED AND THE NOISE GOES AWAY WHEN PRESSED (AT A STOP IN NUETRAL) ALSO LOUD WHEN DRIVING WHEN CLUTCH IS RELEASED SAME NOICE. I'M NOT SURE WHO ELSE TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE JEEP WAS NOT SO HELPFUL. THANK YOU.
