FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I FILL MY JEEP, IT OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS FUEL ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND THE GROUND BEFORE THE RULE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH EVERY FILL UP AT ANY FUEL STATION I USE. IT WILL SOMETIMES OVERFILL AND SPILL ENOUGH OUT AS TO NECESSITATE THE USE OF A FUEL SPILL CLEANUP KIT AND I'VE HAD SEVERAL SHOES AND PANTS RUINED FROM SPOUTING FUEL. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL COMPLAIN OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS NOT ONLY AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM, BUT A FIRE SAFETY PROBLEM AS WELL. IT CANNOT BE SAFE TO HAVE A SYSTEM THAT OVERFILLS AND SPILLS GASOLINE EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU FILL YOUR VEHICLE CREATING A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF FIRE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER TJ I BOUGHT USED HAVE HAD IT GOING ON 6 MONTHS AND EVERYTIME I GO TO THE GAS STATION AND FILL UP WHEN THE PUMP KICKS OFF THE GAS SPEWS OUT ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP FLARES AND THE JEEP ITSELF AND DOWN ONTO THE GROUND WHEN I FILLED IT UP THE FIRST TIME IT WAS ALL OVER MY HAND MY LEG AND RUINED MY SHOES!! I GOT ON A JEPP FORUM AND WAS TOLD TO GET A GMC FILLER HOSE WITH A CHECK VALVE AND I DID AND PAID TO HAVE IT INSTALLED AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND I AM NOT ALONE HERE THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AND IT IS GOING TO LEAD TO SOMEONE GETTING HURT OR WORSE KILLED!! IS THIS WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE FOR YOU TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH THE WRANGLERS? I SURE HOPE NOT!! THIS IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS AND NEEDS ADDRESSED AND FIXED ASAP.....

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I FILL MY JEEP WITH GASOLINE, WHEN IT REACHES IT'S CAPACITY, GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AND ONTO THE REAR FENDER FLARE AND SUBSEQUENTLY ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT A NEW ISSUE WITH THESE JEEPS AND IT IS A FIX THAT SHOULD BE DONE BY THE MANUFACTURER DUE TO THE OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF NOT CORRECTED. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE VEHICLE UP WITH GAS AND IT'S RIDICULOUS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY JEEP WRANGLER SPEWS GAS ON EVERY FILL UP. RUINED PANTS, SHOES. FEAR GAS IS GOING TO IGNITE FROM HOT EXHAUST. DOES EVERY EVERY TIME. SOMEONE GOING TO GET HURT SERIOUSLY. EVERYONE IS PURCHASING GM FILLER TUBE WITH FLAPPER TO REPLACE JEEP FILLER. DONE SO FREQUENTLY CAN'T GET PART. JEEP COULD FIX EASILY INSTALLING 20 DOLLAR FILLER TUBE OR PUTTING NEW VALVE IN TANK. THIS IS SERIOUS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN YOU FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE AUTOMATIC STOP DOESN'T WORK AND THE GAS SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. I BOUGHT THE JEEP USED ON JULY 11, 2014, AND I JUST HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT HAD 35,000 MILES, NOW I HAVE 70,666 MILES. I WENT ONLINE AND ON THE JEEP FORUM AND YOUTUBE SOME PEOPLE HAD FIXES BY BUYING A GM NEW FUEL FILLER HOSE PART #15131046 AND REPLACING IT AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED. ACCORDING TO WHAT I'VE READ THE WARRENTIES WERE EXTENDED FOR 2007 AND OVER BUT NOT THE 2006'S.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL TANK FILLER NECK SPILLS GASOLINE FORCEFULLY OVER THE SIDE, FENDER FLARE AND GROUND, WHICH REQUIRES A SPILL KIT TO BE USED TO CLEANUP THE PUDDLE CREATED BY THIS SPILL. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED BEFORE AND WAS FIXED USING THE SAME FAULTY PARTS WHICH AT THAT TIME WAS UNDER WARRANTY. APPROXIMATELY 4000 MILES LATER THE SAME SPILLING OF GASOLINE OCCURRED BUT DEALERSHIP SAID THE VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $1000 TO REPAIR. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS A POSSIBLY SEVERE INJURY TO MYSELF AS THE GASOLINE COULD FLY INTO MY EYES OR UNTO MY CLOTHES. I DEMAND A COMPLETE NEW FUEL TANK CONFIGURATION AND FUEL FILLER NECK PARTS. TWO EXACT PROBLEMS MEANS FAULTY EQUIPMENT PARTS AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED WITH UPDATED PARTS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS FIXED IS LISTED BELOW.

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL SPLASHES BACK AT NEAR FULL. THE FUEL LEAKS DOWN THE PLASTIC FUEL DOOR AREA AND ONTO THE PAINTED FINISH ON THE BODY. I HAVE HAD IT SPLASH BACK ONTO MYSELF, ALSO. THERE IS SUPPOSEDLY A FAULTY FLAPPER VALVE INSIDE THE FILLER HOSE BEFORE THE FUEL ENTERS THAT TANK. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THE 97-06 WRANGLERS.
