FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK ON MY '08 JEEP WRANGLER, THE TANK OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS GAS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I LOCK THE TAB ON THE FUEL NOZZLE TO AUTO FILL THE TANK, AND EVERYTHING WORKS AS NORMAL UNTIL THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS ITSELF OFF, IT IS QUICKLY FOLLOWED BY GAS GUSHING BACK OUT OF THE FILLER PORT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT SPRAYED GAS ALL OVER MY PANTS, SHOES, GLOVES, ALL OVER THE BACK CORNER OF MY JEEP, AND LEFT A 3FT DIAMETER PUDDLE OF FUEL ON THE GROUND. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP SINCE NEW (BOUGHT IN FEB '09) AND IT JUST TURNED 40K MILES. THE FIRST INSTANCE HAPPENED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, AND IT HAS HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES SINCE THEN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. FOR THE LAST 6 OR MORE MONTHS NOW, THE JEEP IS HAVING A FUEL FILLING ISSUE. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK OF THE JEEP, YOU CAN NEVER DO IT WITHOUT THE GASOLINE GUSHING OUT AT THE END. REGARDLESS IF YOU PUMP IT MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY, IT DOES IT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN ADDITION TO CAUSE HAZMAT SPILL (GASOLINE). AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THAT SPECIFIC GAS PUMP AND/OR GAS STATION. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AS IT HAPPENS ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE. I DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE BY DOING SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT IT IS WELL KNOWN BY ALL PARTIES AND STILL, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RESOLVE IT. THE QUALITY PARTY IS THE ROLL OVER CHECK VALVE WHICH ADDS A ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE TO IT. THIS VALVE IS BUILT IN INTO THE TANK AND THUS, THE WHOLE TANK MUST BE REPLACE AND THE ISSUE WILL STILL BE BACK IN MOST CASES. JEEP NEEDS TO RE-DESIGN THE VALVE TO FIX THE PROBLEM RATHER THAN JUST POSTPONE IT BY CHANGING THE GAS TANK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE AND SETTING THE GAS PUMP TO AUTO SHUT-OFF, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACTIVATE THE AUTO SHUT-OFF RESULTING IN GASOLINE BLOWING OUT OF THE FUEL OPENING. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES SO FAR AND RESULTED IN GASOLINE SPILLING ONTO MY PANTS, SHOES, SIDE OF VEHICLE, BUMPER AND GROUND. THIS PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS TO PERSONS, DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND IS AN ENVIRNOMENTAL ISSUE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER FAST, THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF WILL CLICK OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THEN THE TANK SPITS GASOLINE BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. A COUPLE TIMES I TRIED FILLING THE TANK AT THE SLOWEST AUTOMATIC RATE AND THE VALVE DIDN'T SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. THIS STARTED IN EARLY 2010, BUT IT WASN'T ON EVERY TANK FILL. NOW, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK. AS OF TODAY I HAVE UNDER 29,000 MILES ON THE JEEP. *TR

STEERING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE ON THE FIRST VISIT. THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE MECHANIC ADVISED THE CONTACT TO REPLACE THE STEERING. THE STEERING WAS REPLACED A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (2 DOOR) WITH GAS AND THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF ABOUT 0.5 GAL OF GAS WILL SPILL OUT OF THE FILL TUBE ON ME, MY CAR, AND THE GROUND. GOT A NICE GAS BURN ON MY FOOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED. THE SECOND TIME I STOOD AWAY FROM THE CAR NOT KNOWING IF THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE GAS PUMP OR MY CAR. AFTER HAVING GAS SPILL FROM MY CAR TWICE I DON'T FILL THE TANK ANY MORE AND EVERY TIME I DO PUT GAS IN I AM AFRAID I WILL HAVE ANOTHER SPILL AS I AM NOT SURE HOW FULL I CAN GET IT BEFORE I HAVE PROBLEMS AGAIN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL STILL OVERFLOWING DURING REFUELING... IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR, THE GASOLINE SPILLING IS DESTROYING THE PAINT FINISH AND WHEEL FLARE OF THE JEEP. IN DIRECT RESPONSE TO JEEPS CLAIM, MY JEEP HAS ALWAYS BEEN REFUELED BY MYSELF. I NEVER PUT IN FUEL THAT WAS GREATER THAN 10% ETHANOL, AND I DO NOT OVERFILL THE TANK. THIS TANK IS A DEFECT AND I HAVEN'T BOTHERED GOING BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IF IT WAS I WOULD MAKE AN APPT RIGHT AWAY. ALL THAT GAS SPILLING ON THE GROUND CAN'T BE A GOOD THING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND MY SKIN WHEN IT SPLASHES ALL OVER ME... I GUESS I NEED TO CATCH ON FIRE BEFORE JEEP WILL SAY THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. IT'S NO WONDER THEIR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION RATINGS ARE THE LOWEST IN THE INDUSTRY. MY INITIAL COMPLAINT WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO.. I GUESS I SHOULD MAKE A BUMPER STICKER.. "JEEP: SPITTING GAS SINCE 2009". *TR

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS - AT 13,500 MY FUEL TANK BEGAN OVERFLOWING BADLY AT EVERY FILLUP. I KNOW THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM ON 2007+ JEEP WRANGLER JKS. MANY TIMES THE FUEL ENDS UP ON THE PANTS AND SHOES OF THE PERSON FILLING UP THE TANK. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE THIS AN OFFICIAL RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
