FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 2010, WHEN REFUELING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, WHEN THE GAS STATION FUEL PUMP /NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, FUEL BEGAN TO OVERFLOW / BACKFLOW AND SPILL OUT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND THE GROUND. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ALMOST EVERYTIME I REFUELED. I BEGAN STOPPING THE FUEL NOZZLE MANUALLY WHEN IT SOUNDED LIKE THE FUEL WAS GETTING CLOSE TO THE NOZZLE. IT WOULD STILL OVERFLOW ON OCCASION. NOW I HAVE TO REFILL THE JEEP'S GAS TANK JUDGING BY HOW LOW THE GAS GAUGE READS AND HOW MANY GALLONS I PUT IN. USUALLY I FILL THE GAS TANK A TO LITTLE OVER THREE QUARTERS OF A TANK. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE FILLING UP THE GAS TANK UNTIL IT IS FULL OR FILLING IT UNTIL THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF WHEN IT SENSE THE TANK IS FULL BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF OVERFLOW VARIED, BUT IN WORST CASES I ESTIMATED IT WAS ANYWHERE FROM 10 FLUID OUNCES TO 32 FLUID OUNCES WHICH REALLY CONCERNS ME. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE GAS LITERALLY GUSHED OUT ENOUGH TO SPLASH ONTO THE THIGH AREA OF MY PANT LEG AND SHOES, WHILE I WAS STANDING A GOOD 18 INCHES FROM THE JEEP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
STARTING AT 35K MILES ON MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER...EACH FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION, GAS WOULD SPEW OUT AFTER THE GAS PUMP WOULD CLICK OFF. THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS CONDITION. THE ONLY WAY NOT TO HAVE THE GAS SPILL OUT IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK UP. A DEFINITE FLAW IN DESIGN AS I'VE BEEN READING ITS HAPPENING TO LOTS OF JEEP OWNERS FROM 2007-2010. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK ON MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE TANK. THIS IS A SERIOUS HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN I FILL THE TANK MYSELF OR WHEN AN ATTENDANT FILLS IT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE ATTENDANT AT MY LOCAL STATION THAT THIS IS COMMON TO THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2008 WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON WITH 37,000 MILES ON 1/21/2011. THE DEALER OFFERED A FREE TANK OF GAS WITH A WITH THE PURCHASE SO WE WENT DOWN TO THE LOCAL FILLING STATION AND HE PROCEEDED TO FILL THE JEEP UP . I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME AND INSIDE THE JEEP THE SMELL OF GAS WAS VERY PRONOUNCED. AS HE WALKED AWAY TO PAY THE FOR THE GAS I GOT OUT OF THE JEEP AND THERE WAS A 2FT PUDDLE OF GASOLINE BEHIND THE JEEP. HE AND I GOT BACK IN TO THE JEEP AND HE COMPLAINED THAT THE PUMP DID NOT SHUT OFF AND HAD SPILLED GASOLINE ON HIS CLOTHES AND SHRUGGED IT OFF. THIS MORNING 1/28/2011 I STOP BY TO FILL UP THE JEEP AND LOW AND BEHOLD THE PUMP CLICKED OFF WHEN FILLING UP THE JEEP AND THE ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE GASOLINE STARTED TO RUN OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK AND ONCE AGAIN A 2FT PUDDLE OF GASOLINE, SHOES AND CLOTHES WITH GAS ON THEM... NOT A GOOD START TO THE MORNING. SO CAME TO WORK AND STARTED TO SEARCH THE INTERNET AND THERE IS A LOT OF TALK OF MANY OF THIS STYLE OF JEEP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM WRITING YOU TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I THINK THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I AM PLANNING TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM ASSESS THE PROBLEM BUT I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, MY 08 JEEP WRANGLER 2DOOR WILL OVERFILL. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT STATION I AM AT, OR HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN THE TANK PREVIOUSLY. IT WILL ALWAYS SPEW ABOUT A CUP OF GAS ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND PAVEMENT UPON FILLING. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=V6W487ONKSO THE LINK IS TO A VIDEO I FOUND OF A PERSON THAT HAS A SIMILAR PROBLEM, ALSO WITH A WRANGLER. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY JEEP WRANGLER MY GAS TANK WILL OVERFLOW. THE GAS PUMP WILL STOP, RECOGNIZING THAT THE TANK IS FULL, BUT THE TANK WILL OVERFLOW WITH ABOUT 1-2 CUPS OF GASOLINE. THIS IS HAPPENED AT EVERY GAS STATION I GO TO. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
STARTING IN NOVEMBER 2010 WITH LESS THAN 34,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHEN FILLING UP WITH FUEL THE JEEP WILL OVER FLOW ONCE FULL. NOW EVERY TIME THE FUEL NOZZLE IS CLICKED TO HOLD IN THE ON POSITION, FOR SOME REASON IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF IN TIME, NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I USE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MYSELF AS WELL BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. I WOULD THINK THAT JEEP WOULD ISSUE A FULL RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP WHICH I PURCHASED THE JEEP DID REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, AND OTHER COMPONENTS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. SOMETIMES WHEN I USE THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ON THE GAS PUMP, IT SHUTS OFF TOO LATE AND ~0.25 GAL. OF GASOLINE WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILL PORT AND SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AT EVERY PUMP, BUT FREQUENTLY ENOUGH THAT I CAN NO LONGER USE THE AUTO FILLING FEATURE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER I SET THE "AUTO HOLD TAB" OR MANUALLY DEPRESS THE PUMP HANDLE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND NOT A SINGLE-TIME EVENT. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK AND THE GAS NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK AFTER ABOUT A 2 SECOND DELAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH THE JEEP WRANGLER ON LOCAL GAS PUMPS THAT I USE FREQUENTLY TO FILL MY HONDA CIVIC WITHOUT INCIDENT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
STARTING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD, GASOLINE PUMPS NO LONGER SHUT OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING FILLED WITH GAS AND THE TANK BECOMES FULL. GAS CONTINUES TO PUMP, SPILLING FROM THE VEHICLE, AND THE PUMP HAS TO BE MANUALLY SHUT OFF. IT DIDN'T DO THIS WHEN NEW, NOR DID MY PRIOR WRANGLER (2000 MODEL OWNED FOR 5 YEARS).
