FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL OVERFLOWS WHEN USING AN AUTOMATIC FUEL FILL NOZZLE. FUEL WILL SPILL ON THE GROUND AND SOMETIMES ON THE OPERATOR. CAN BE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT. BUT DOES VARY. SLOW MANUAL FILLING IS A MUST TO AVOID THIS. *TR

AIR BAGS
ON MARCH 3, 2009, MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I SLOWED TO MAKE A TURN, IT WOULD DING AT ME AND GO OFF AND THEN ON. WHEN I'M DROVE NORMALLY, AND USUALLY STRAIGHT, THE LIGHT JUST STAYED ON WITH NO DING. THROUGH RESEARCH, I'VE COME TO FIND THAT MY CLOCKSPRING WAS FAULTY AND MAY NOT DEPLOY MY AIRBAG IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THIS FIXED THROUGH CHRYSLER. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. NOW, ON JAN. 15, 2011 WITH 103,769 MILES, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND DID THE SAME THING AS PREVIOUSLY. I WENT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT, ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME, AGAIN, IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN. CONSIDERING THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND I HAD TO PAY BOTH TIMES. IF I DIDN'T GET THIS FIXED, AND I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT, MY AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FILLING THE FUEL TANK TILL THE PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY WILL RESULT IN A FUEL SPILL. THIS CONDITION HAS EXISTING SINCE NEW. RATE OF OCCURRENCE IS APPROXIMATELY 8 OUT OF 10 FILLINGS. RESULTING SPILL IS SUFFICIENT TO WET THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, LEFT END OF REAR BUMPER, AND THE GROUND BELOW THE FILL PORT. SPILL QUANTITY ESTIMATED AT APPROXIMATELY 8 - 10 OUNCES OF FUEL EACH OCCURRENCE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2007 JEEP WRANGLER - EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, SINCE ROUGHLY 10,000 MILES (NOW AT 63,000) THE AUTO SHUT OFF FEATURE OF GAS PUMPS WILL NOT SHUT OFF IN TIME. THIS CAUSES ROUGHLY 1/4 GALLON OF FUEL TO SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING SITUATION FOR A COUPLE YEARS. I CANNOT RELY ON THE AUTO-SHUT OFF OF THE PUMP WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS, SINCE THE NEW MODEL FROM 2007. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY WERE DENIED BY DEALERSHIPS. I AM FINALLY SCHEDULED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK (A KNOWN FIX FOR THE ISSUE); BUT WILL BE PAYING FOR IT OUT OF POCKET, AS THE WARRANTY HAS SINCE EXPIRED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AT AROUND THE 50K MILEAGE MARK, FUEL WOULD GUSH OUT WHEN FILLING UP THE TANK. TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, OLD AND BRAND NEW PUMPS, ALL RESULTED IN GAS GUSHING OUT AS THE PUMP TURNED OFF. CHRYSLER-JEEP SERVICE REPLACED THE FUEL FILLER TUBE. TOPPED OFF THE GAS TANK AFTER THE "FIX", SEEMED GOOD. LET THE TANK GO DOWN TO LESS THAN 1/4 THEN FILLED THE TANK AND THE GAS GUSHED OUT YET AGAIN! THIS IS BOTH A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT ISSUE. PLEASE REQUEST JEEP TO FIND A REAL FIX FOR THIS AND ISSUE A RECALL.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY "NEW" USED 2005 JEEP TJ WILL SPILL GAS ALL OVER THE PLACE WHEN FILLING UP GAS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I DO IT MANUALLY OR LET IT FILL UP WITH THE AUTO SWITCH ON. EVEN WHEN I "HEAR" THE GAS NEAR THE TOP OF THE TANK IT STILL SPITS GAS OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO MY HANDS, THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ON THE GROUND. WHAT A PAIN IN THE [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE PUMP IS ON SLOW, FAST, OR I AM MANUALLY PUMPING IT. I'VE TRIED DIFFERENT STATIONS, SOME FLAT, SOME ANGLED, NOTHING HELPS. I JUST SPILL GASOLINE ALL OVER THE FLOOR AND SOMETIMES MYSELF. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUEL TANK IS FILLED, AS SOON AS THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE "CLICKS" OFF (INDICATING THE GAS TANK IS FULL, SEVERAL OUNCES OF GASOLINE "SPITS" OUT. IT SPITS OUT IN A FASHION TO DIRECTLY LAND ON THE SHOES AND/OR PANTS LEG OF THE PERSON OPERATING THE FUEL PUMP. THIS OCCURS ON THE FIRST CLICK (AS OPPOSED TO THOSE SITUATIONS THAT OCCUR WHEN SOMEONE IS "TOPPING OFF" THE GAS TANK). IT OCCURS ON EVERY FUEL TANK FILLUP, EXCEPT IN THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE THE GAS PUMP OPERATES NOTABLY SLOWER THAN MOST SERVICE STATIONS. THE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE THAT ENDS UP ON THE GROUND IS TYPICALLY AT LEAST 2 OR MORE FEET IN DIAMETER. THE DEALER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THESE FUEL TANKS DO NOT VENT PROPERLY AND THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. MANY YOU TUBE VIDEOS DEMONSTRATING THE PROBLEM. ENVIRONMENTAL - RAW GASOLINE DISPENSED ON THE GROUND PERSONAL - RAW GASOLINE ON CLOTHING/SKIN, WITH ISSUES OF STRONG GASOLINE ODOR IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT SAFETY - POTENTIAL DISASTROUS ISSUES IF SPARK WERE TO OCCUR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN I FILL MY JEEP UP WITH FUEL IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS WITH FUEL SPEWING ON ME THE GROUND AND MY VEHICLE. NOTHING SEEMS TO CHANGE IT NOT SLOWING DOWN THE PUMP OR ANYTHING. MY RESEARCH BRINGS ME TO IT BEING A FAILURE WITH THE ROLLOVER/CHECKVALVE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FILLER TUBE FAILING TO CLOSE ALLOWING FUEL TO OVERFLOW. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F9/GAS-SPILLING-OVER-WHEN-FILLING-872096/ I HAVE TWO MORE FRIENDS WITH JEEPS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. NOTHING WAS DONE TO FIX THE ISSUE IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WAS GOING TO ENTER MY VIN BUT THE VIN ENTRY DOESN'T WORK. SO NO VIN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED UP. THE AUTOMATIC SHUT DOES NOT WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY SINGLE TIME NO MATTER WHICH GAS STATION OR WHAT TYPE OF GAS. HOLDING THE NOZZLE AT DIFFERENT ANGLES DOES NOT HELP. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THIS IS TO PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE NUMBER OF GALLONS OF GAS BEING PUT IN THE TANK. THIS IS A HAZARD AS GAS GETS EVERYWHERE, ESPECIALLY THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS AND WILL LIKELY RUIN THE PAINT JOB; ALSO LEADS TO WASTED GASOLINE/MONEY.

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, ABOUT A CUPFUL OF GAS POURS OUT THE TOP AFTER THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY STATION, ON EVERY FILL UP. THIS I BELIEVE PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE AS GASOLINE IS NOW ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. *TR

SPILL/OVERFLOW RANGES FROM ABOUT ONE QUART TO A HALF GALLON OF FUEL AND CAN CAUSE VEHICLE/PAINT AND ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE AS WELL AS INJURY TO PERSONS REFUELING VEHICLE AND IS ALSO A FIRE HAZARD. *TR
