FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER GAS ALWAYS SPILLS OUT. I HAVE HAD IT FOR OVER A YEAR AND IT JUST STARTED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. I PUT THE GAS NOZZLE IN THE FILL TUBE AND CLICK IT ON AUTO FILL. THE NOZZLE WILL CLICK OFF THEN A SECOND LATER GAS COMES SHOOTING OUT. I'VE READ ON A FORUM THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND BELIEVE JEEP SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO THINK I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE $120 DOLLARS I PAID TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND NOT FIXED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, EVERY TIME I REFUEL THE JEEP IT OVERFLOWS. THE PUMP WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUTOFF AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO, BUT THEN WITHIN A SECOND OR SO FUEL WILL SPLASH OUT OF THE TANK. I CALLED JEEP CORPORATE AND THEY DON'T THINK IT IS A BIG DEAL. I THINK IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. HERE IS A VIDEO LINK OF THE ISSUE HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=ZOUVOKEOLO8 PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THANK YOU *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS HAD FUEL OVERFLOW (ACTUALLY MORE SHOOT OUT) WHILE FUELING MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON. IT OCCURS AS THE FUEL IS NEARING FULL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT MANY DIFFERENT FUELING LOCATIONS AND I ALWAYS PUMP ON THE LOWEST SETTING. I HAVE EVEN BEEN SPRAYED MANUALLY FILLING THE TANK. AFTER READING THE TJ TECHNICAL FORUM ON JEEPFORUM.COM THIS SEEMS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE IS THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED AT AROUND 50K MILES. WHEN FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION ON A TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS. WHEN THE AUTO SHUTOFF AT THE PUMPED CLICKED OFF THE GAS CAME SPEWING OUT OF THE FILE HOLE. I CONSIDERED IT A ONE TIME FLUKE AND THAT POSSIBLY THE GAS PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE. AS TIME WENT ON IT DID NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I WENT TO THE PROBLEM OCCURRED MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. NOW THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID AN OVERFLOW IS TO STOP FILLING AT AROUND 15 GALLONS AND SLOWLY TOP OFF THE TANK BY CAREFULLY LISTENING FOR THE FUEL LEVEL AND EASING THE FUEL INTO THE TANK. MY CONCERN IS THE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLING OUT ON THE PAVEMENT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ONE SPARK COULD BE DISASTROUS FOR MYSELF OF SOMEONE WHO FOLLOWS ME AT THE PUMP. I HAVE READ WHERE MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL ARE EXPERIENCING A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER WILL SPILL GAS OUT ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK IF I HOLD THE NOZZLE ON ANYTHING ABOVE ABOUT A QUARTER OPEN. AS IT NEARS FULL, THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AND THEN WHOOSH, OUT COMES ABOUT A QUART OF GAS, SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE AND ONTO THE PARKING LOT. IT DID NOT DO THIS WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT. IT STARTED DOING THIS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I NEVER CONTACTED THE DEALER AS MY WARRANTY IS UP. I REALLY DIDN'T GIVE THIS MUCH THOUGHT AS I HAVE LEARNED IF I JUST TRICKLE THE LAST FEW GALLONS IN, IT ONLY HAPPENS TO ME ABOUT 25% OF THE TIME. HOWEVER, AFTER STUMBLING ACROSS A JEEP FORUM ON THE INTERNET AND FINDING OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM, I REALIZE THAT SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED BY AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE EVENTUALLY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4.0 L WHEN FUELING THIS VEHICLE, FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK EVERY TIME. THIS OCCURS EVEN WHEN THE FUEL NOZZLE IS NOT DEPRESSED TO FULL VOLUME. FUEL CAN SLOSH SEVERAL FEET FROM THE FILLER NECK. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD FOR SEVERAL REASONS. I HAVE HAD FUEL SPILLED ONTO MY SKIN AND NEARLY INTO MY EYES. THERE IS ALSO SIGNIFICANT FIRE HAZARD DUE TO THE PRESSURIZED NATURE AND VELOCITY OF THE FUEL COMING UP THE NECK. PLEASE INVESTIGATE, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I PURCHASED THIS JEEP IN APRIL 2009 AND IT HAS OCCURRED EVERY FILL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
STARTING ABOUT 12-15 GAS FILL-UPS AGO, MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4X4 RUBICON STARTED TO EJECT FUEL OUT OF THE GAS FILLER TUBE ABOUT A SECOND AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. I HAVE NOT CHANGED ANY PROCEDURE DURING FILL-UPS AND HAVE USED THE SAME GAS PUMPS AND GAS STATIONS FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS -- THIS STARTED OUT OF THE BLUE. WHEN THE GAS OVERFLOWS, IT EJECTS WITH ENOUGH PRESSURE TO COVER THE GAS CAP HANGING BELOW WITH GAS, AND SATURATES THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND BUMPER, DROPPING A GOOD AMOUNT OF GAS ON THE GROUND (PROBABLY ABOUT A 2.5 - 3 FOOT RADIUS OF A PUDDLE). THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, MY HAND WAS COVERED IN GAS, AND I ESTIMATE ABOUT A HALF GALLON OF GAS WAS EJECTED. IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME DURING A FILL-UP UNLESS I STOP THE GAS PUMP BEFORE THE TANK IS CLOSE TO FULL. I HAVE LISTENED ATTENTIVELY DURING A FEW FILL-UPS, AND HAVE SHUT OFF THE PUMP ONCE I HEAR A CHANGE IN SOUND THAT THE TANK IS NEAR FULL -- AND THIS STILL RESULTS IN FUEL EJECTING FROM THE FILLER TUBE, BUT JUST NOT AS MUCH. I CAN NO LONGER RELY ON THE PUMP AUTO SHUT OFF EVEN AT LOW FILLING SPEEDS, AND I CAN NO LONGER FILL THE TANK TO IT'S PREVIOUSLY NORMALLY FULL CAPACITY. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS, NOT ONLY TO ME AND MY PASSENGERS, BUT THE OTHER PATRONS AROUND ME -- NOT TO MENTION THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE GAS SPILLS. THERE ARE NO KNOWN FIXES, AND IT APPEARS, ACCORDING TO JEEP FORUMS, THAT THIS IS BECOMING A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, WITH THE LATEST UPDATES THAT CHRYSLER COMPLETELY REPLACING GAS TANKS ONLY UNDER WARRANTY, AND WITH NO APPARENT UPDATES TO KEEP IT FROM OCCURRING AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. MY JEEP HAS JUST COME OUT OF WARRANTY AROUND THE END OF SEPTEMBER, DUE TO MILEAGE. I NOW HAVE 40,000 MILES ON THE JEEP, AND I ESTIMATE THIS STARTED AT ABOUT 35,000 MILES. *TR

1. TWO MONTHS AGO WHILE AT THE GAS STATION FILLING THE TANK OF MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER X, THE PUMP DID NOT SHUTOFF AND FUEL SPILLED. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STATIONS PUMP, SO I DECIDED TO TRY A DIFFERENT STATION FOR MY NEXT FILL-UP. A WEEK LATER; WHILE FILLING AT ANOTHER STATION THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. 2. IN THE THREE INSTANCES THE OVER FLOW HAPPENED; I WAS HOLDING THE FILL HANDLE IN THE 6 O'CLOCK POSITION, THE NOZZLE WAS FULLY INSERTED INTO THE FILL HOLE, AND I HAD THE HANDLE FULLY DEPRESSED (NOZZLE WIDE OPEN). AS THE TANK REACHED FULL, IT DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUTOFF, IT CONTINUED FILLING UNTIL ABOUT A QUART OF GASOLINE SPILLED ONTO THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER'S WARRANTY DEPARTMENT, SERVICE CONTRACTS DEPARTMENT, GOODWILL TEAM, AND SENIOR RESOLUTION TEAM TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND REQUEST THEM TO TAKE ACTION. UNFORTUNATELY, I BELIEVE MY CALLS ARE BEING SIMPLY MARKED TO A CASE FILE AND NO INVESTIGATORY ACTION IS BEING TAKEN. I CAN EASILY SEE AN INCIDENT SUCH AS MINE LEADING TO INJURY OF AN UNKNOWING CHRYSLER OWNER. IF ANY STATIC CHARGE IS PRESENT (I.E. IN CLOTHING OR THE VEHICLE) WHEN THE OVERFLOW OCCURS THE GAS WILL IGNITE. THE PROBLEM POSES THE GREATEST THREAT WHEN IT HAPPENS THE FIRST TIME, BECAUSE THE OWNER WILL HAVE NO WARNING SIGNALS OF A FAILED PART(S) AND THEREFORE WILL NOT BE EXPECTING THE SPILL. 3. TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING; I KNOW LONGER FILL MY TANK TO ITS' FULL 16 GALLON CAPACITY. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE ADVISED THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE VAPOR CANISTER. *TR
