Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 15, 2011
VEHICLE NOW SINCE DATE OF INITIAL OCCURRENCE SPEWS FUEL BACK OUT OF FILLER NECK WHEN FUELING. SPILT FUEL LAUNCHES OUT FROM TRAPPED PRESSURE IN TANK AND COVERS THE GROUND AND SIDE OF VEHICLE. IT ALSO SPLASHES ON OPERATOR BUT I USUALLY STAY BACK IF I CAN HELP IT. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS BUT FIND THE STATION IS NOT A FACTOR IN THIS ISSUE. IT ALSO DOESN'T MATTER IF I STOP THE PUMP MANUALLY OR ALLOW THE MECHANICAL FEATURE OF THE PUMP STOP THE FUELING PROCESS. THE JEEP DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHEN NEW.
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 11, 2011
THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED UP. THE AUTOMATIC SHUT DOES NOT WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY SINGLE TIME NO MATTER WHICH GAS STATION OR WHAT TYPE OF GAS. HOLDING THE NOZZLE AT DIFFERENT ANGLES DOES NOT HELP. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THIS IS TO PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE NUMBER OF GALLONS OF GAS BEING PUT IN THE TANK. THIS IS A HAZARD AS GAS GETS EVERYWHERE, ESPECIALLY THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS AND WILL LIKELY RUIN THE PAINT JOB; ALSO LEADS TO WASTED GASOLINE/MONEY.
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 9, 2011
I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF FILLING GAS TANK OF 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. AS TANK FILLED TO CAPACITY, PUMP SHUT OFF, COULD HEAR CLICK IN HANDLE, BUT GAS OVERFLOWED BACK OUT OF TANK ONTO JEEP, MY SHOES AND PANTS LEG. *TR

WHEN THE FILLING UP THE GAS PUMP DOESN'T SHUT OFF WHEN FULL. GAS WILL SPRAY OUT ABOUT 5 FEET ALL OVER THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU RELEASE THE LEVER. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 7, 2011
FUEL GUSHES OUT OF FILLER ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. PUMP CLICKS OFF AND 1/2 SECOND LATER COMES OUT OF FILLER. HAPPENS AT EVERY GAS PUMP NO MATTER BRAND. ALL DO IT. PROBLEM WITH ANGLE? PUMP DOESNT FIT PROPERLY INTO FILLER. *TR

Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 3, 2011
WE HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER, 2 DOOR. 4X4 .WHENEVER WE FILL THE GAS TANK WITH THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ATT HE PUMP ENGAGED, GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE CAR BEFORE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTTING OFF. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND VARIOUS GAS STATIONS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. NOW WE HAVE TO MANUALLY LISTEN TO THE GAS FLOWING IN AND STOP IT FROM FILLING UP ENTIRELY. THIS IS A PROBLEM AT FULL SERVICE STATIONS, LIKE GETTY, OR WHEN WE ARE IN NEW JERSEY (FULL SERVICE IS MANDATORY IN NJ).THIS IS NOT ONLY A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE BUT THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE CHRYSLER/JEEP RECOGNIZES THIS AS A DEFECT. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Jan 1, 2011
WHILE REFUELING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER THE FUEL FILL WOULD OVERFLOW WHEN FULL RATHER THAN CAUSE THE GAS PUMP TO TRIP. THIS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I WOULD REFUEL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE GAS TANK AND THE EVAP CANISTER. *TR
Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 31, 2010
FUEL OVERFLOW FROM FILLER TUBE AND SPRAYS ONTO PERSON PUMPING FUEL, VEHICLE AND SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT. THIS HAPPEN EVERY TIME WE FUEL JEEP. WE HAVE HAD THE JEEP SINCE 2008 AND PROBLEM STARTED IN DECEMBER 2010. THIS JEEP LOOKS BRAND NEW AND GARAGE KEPT AND NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD. *TR

Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 28, 2010
GAS WILL SPILL OUT (SPLASH) FROM THE FILLER TUBE BECAUSE THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUTOFF FEATURE ON GAS PUMPS WILL NOT DETECT FUEL FILL LEVEL UNTIL TOO LATE. GAS WILL USUALLY HEMORRHAGE ENOUGH TO SPLASH OUT OF THE TUBE AND RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND COLLECT ON THE BUMPER. IF YOU STAND TOO CLOSE IN SOME CASES YOU MIGHT GET GAS ON YOUR CLOTHING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH LATE MODEL JEEP JK MODELS
Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 28, 2010
GAS TANK OVERFLOWED VIOLENTLY WHEN THE GAS STATION AUTOMATIC PUMP SHUT OFF.

Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 21, 2010
WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK IT WILL OVER FLOW AT THE FILLER NECK. WHEN THE FUEL PUMP CUTS OFF THERE IS AIR PRESSURE THAT WILL FORCE THE GAS OUT WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED. I HAVE USED DIFFERENT STATIONS WITH THE SAME RESULTS. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD.
Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 21, 2010
WHEN FUELING, THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF HAS STARTED SHUTTING OFF TOO LATE, RESULTING IN A FUEL SPILL EVERY TIME = FIRE HAZARD PLUS PAINT DAMAGE. MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS, MULTIPLE PUMPS, DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES. THE INCIDENT DATE REFLECTS THE MOST RECENT FILL-UP, WHERE I STARTED SEARCHING FOR A SOLUTION. SEARCHED ON-LINE, AND HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS COMMON WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL AND MODEL YEAR. (UNFORTUNATELY, I AM JUST PAST THE 3-YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN FUEL WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE, ABOUT ONE TO TWO GALLONS FLOWED BACK OUT OF THE VEHICLE . THE FAILURE OCCURRED A FEW SECONDS AFTER THE PUMP STOPPED. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE FUEL WOULD RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND INTO THE EXHAUST. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 39,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 43,000.

2008 JEEP WRANGLER JK (2 DOOR). GAS LEAKS OUT OF TOP OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN FILLING THE JEEP UP WITH GAS. THE AUTO SHUTOFF ON THE GAS PUMP CLICKS AND THEN THERE IS PROB 1/4 TO 1/2 GALLON OF GAS SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR. INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND ITS NOT BECAUSE IM TOPPING THE TANK OFF. THERE SEEMS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BECAUSE IT HAPPENS AT ALL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS WITH OR WITHOUT THE RUBBER COVER ON THE GASOLINE PUMP FILLER NECK. *TR

Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 19, 2010
WHEN FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION, THE GAS WILL BACK SPLASH OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE WHEN IT FILLS UP. THE GAS TANK DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE AIR TO DISPERSE WHEN FILLING IT UP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ! IF YOU ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS HAPPENING YOU WILL GET GASOLINE ON YOU IF YOU ARE NEAR THE FUEL NOZZLE.
Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 18, 2010
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THE FILLER TUBE WILL RELEASE APPROXIMATELY A LITER OF FUEL.
Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 16, 2010
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
