WHEN PUMPING FUEL WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY THE FUEL OVERFLOWS. MUST PUMP IN SMALL AMOUNTS SLOWLY TO KEEP OVERFLOW TO A MINIMUM; HOWEVER, OVERFLOW STILL OCCURS ESPECIALLY AT THE END OF PUMPING WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. OVERFLOW SQUIRTS OUT AND SOUNDS LIKE GARGLING WHEN FILLING WITH FUEL.
Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 4, 2015
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL SPEWED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHEN TRYING TO FILL GAS TANK IT WILL NOT TAKE THE FUEL AS IT SHUTS THE PUMP OFF. IT TAKES ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO PUT IN $10 WORTH OF GAS IN. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE.

Other or unspecified, Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 21, 2015
FUELING HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. I HAD A SHUT OFF PROBLEM IN THAT THE GAS WOULD EJECT FROM THE CAR. THEN I HAD A PROBLEM WITH SLOW FUELING. IT MIGHT TAKE A GALLON THEN ALMOST STOP TAKING FOREVER TO PUT FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BEGNAL MOTORS IN KINGSTON AND THEY DID ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND REPLACED THE INTAKE NOZZLE? AND SOMETHING TO ALLOW AIR INTO THE TANK WHEN REFUELING. IT SEEMED TO BE OK FOR AWHILE THEN WENT BACK TO THE FUELING PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK TO BEGNAL AND THEY SEEMED TO BELIEVE THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK AT MY EXPENSE! THIS IS A LIABILITY TO MY SAFETY. I DROVE THE JEEP TO CALIFORNIA AND BACK THE END OF JUNE OF THIS YEAR AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM...I HAVE TO USE MY VEHICLE FOR MANY TRIPS OUT OF TOWN AND IT IS FRIGHTENING AS THEY TOLD ME THIS PROBLEM WOULD PROBABLY GET WORSE! THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY CHRYSLER. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A MONTH AGO AND EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP FUEL SPILLS RAPIDLY FROM THE FILLER NECK. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT FIXED.

Fuel/propulsion system, Jan 20, 2015
SINCE 2010 I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH GAS OVER FLOW WHEN FILLING THE TANK. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS ATTENDANT AND BEING CARELESS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE MOSTLY IN THE COOLER WEATHER AND WINTER MONTHS. IT IS BEEN BECOMING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS WHERE AFTER RESEARCHING AND SPEAKING WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A HAZARD AND RECALL IN A LOT OF WRANGLERS. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT MY JEEP IS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AND HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS COSTLY REPAIR MYSELF. I FIND THIS UNFAIR OF CHRYSLER TO DO THIS TO FAITHFUL JEEP OWNERS. I ALSO FOUND THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN THESE COSTLY REPAIRS AS I MIGHT ALSO HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE GAS TANK. I DO NOT WISH TO TURN THIS INTO A BATTLE. PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS ONGOING PROBLEM AS I AM A FAITHFUL JEEP LOVER AND WANT TO STAY THAT WAY. THANK YOU *TR

Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 16, 2014
THE GAS TANK CAN NOT BE FILLED WITHOUT CONSTANTLY RE-STARTING THE FUEL PUMP, IT STOPS EVERY FEW SECONDS, IT HAPPENS AT EVERY GAS STATION OR ANY FUEL PUMP, SO IT IS DEFINITELY NOT THE PUMP BUT A PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP GAS TANK AND/OR IT'S COMPONENTS. IT GOT WORSE OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS AND IS TO THE POINT NOW WHERE IT TAKES ME 10-15 MINUTES TO FILL UP 11 -15 GALLONS OF FUEL. THE GAS TANK WAS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL BACK IN 2011 (AT APPROX. 34000 MILES) WHERE WITH THE OLD TANK THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NOT STOP IN TIME WHEN FULL AND THEREFORE IT RESULTED IN THE "SPILL-BACK" PROBLEM EVERY TIME. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIXED WITH REPLACEMENT AFTER RECALL, BUT NOW I HAVE THE PROBLEM THAT I JUST HAVE THIS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TIME FILLING THE TANK. *TR

GAS CAP SENSOR LIGHT ON. WHEN FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS, THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP CLICKS OFF, THEN WITHIN 5/10 SECONDS THE GAS STARTS TO SURGE OUT OF THE TANK ALL DOWN THE JEEP, OVER THE GROUND, OVER ME. THE GAS TANK AND ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 2011 WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE PROBLEM KEPT COMING BACK. THE SAME PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN 2013. WE CALLED THE DEALER AND FOUND THAT IT IS COVERED UNDER AN UNLIMITED MILES UNLIMITED MONTHS EXTENDED WARRANTY. GLAD WE CALLED BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET ANY NOTICE OF THIS EXTENDED COVERAGE IN THE MAIL. A SEPARATE ISSUE BEGAN IN 2012 WITH SOME LEAKAGE OF GAS UNDER THE VEHICLE AND AN ODOR OF GAS OUTSIDE THE CAR IF THE TANK WAS FILLED UP ALL THE WAY. SINCE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, OUR PERSONAL MECHANIC HANDLED IT. HE REPLACED A HOSE THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE FUEL TANK (THE SAME GAS CAP SENSOR LIGHT WAS ON FOR THIS PROBLEM TOO). HE ALSO TIGHTENED THE FUEL PUMP AT THE TANK WHERE THE GAS WAS LEAKING FROM AND HE FOUND A CRACK IN THE TANK WHICH HE PATCHED. THIS FIXED THE ODOR AND LEAKING OF GAS FROM UNDER THE JEEP. IF THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN IN THE FUTURE, NOW KNOWING ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH THE OTHER PROBLEM, WE WILL CONTACT THE DEALER ABOUT IT TO SEE IF IT IS COVERED TOO AS IT IS GAS TANK RELATED. NOTE - IT WAS RIGHT AFTER OUR MECHANIC FIXED THE ODOR AND UNDER CAR LEAK THAT THE OTHER PROBLEM OF THE GAS SURGING OUT OF THE PUMP STARTED AGAIN. *TR
