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

THERE WERE NO PARTICULAR EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE, AND IT OCCURS 9/10 TIMES THAT I GET GAS. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH GAS STATION I GO TO, OR WHAT PUMP IS BEING USED.

THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED IN ANY WAY FROM THE FACTORY. IT WAS PURCHASED WITH 12 MILES ON ODOMETER AND KNOW HAS 28.889 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SERVICE AT THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIME FOR REPAIRS, AND EACH TIME THE DEALER SAYS THAT SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT DOES NOT, IN FACT THE JEEP GOES BACK IN NEXT MONDAY FOR FURTHER REPAIRS. I'VE CONTACTED JEEP TWICE TO NO AVAIL, THEY PRETEND TO NEVER HAVE HEARD OF THE PROBLEM AS DOES THE DEALER ALTHOUGH THEY STILL FIND SOMETHING TO REPAIR BUT NEVER FULLY FIXING THE PROBLEM. IF ONE GOES TO GOOGLE AND TYPES IN DEATH WOBBLE UP COME JEEP, WITH VIDEOS OF THE WOBBLE BUT I GUESS THEY DON'T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS FOR THEIR EYES GLAZE OVER IN INCOMPREHENSION AND DENIAL. IS THERE A SOLUTION FOR THIS? I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER, 2 DOOR. AT AROUND 30,000 MILES, I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE GAS OVERFLOW WHEN FILLING UP. WHEN THE PUMP IS LEFT TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF, IT WILL AND THEN GAS WILL FLOW OUT OF THE FILL UP TUBE. IT HAS BEEN ANYWHERE FROM SHOOTING OUT TO JUST RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. I WOULD GUESS AT LEAST A CUP OF GAS. THIS HAPPENS AT VARIOUS FUEL PUMPS AND DIFFERENT STATIONS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING AND MAYBE IT WAS THE PUMP. I TOLD THEM IT HAD HAPPENED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT PUMPS, BUT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. I NOW HAVE TO GUESS WHEN THE TANK IS ABOUT FILLED AND GO THE LOWEST FLOW SETTING ON THE PUMP HANDLE. IF I GET THIS RIGHT, I DON'T GET GAS ON ME OR ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WHEN IT WAS NEW AND I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT SHOULD BE FIXED. *TR

Fuel system, Gasoline, Oct 23, 2010
I OWN A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER WHERE FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER PORT DURING THE REFUELING PROCESS. THIS CONDITION OCCURS WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO THE FULL OR NEARLY FULL LEVEL AND THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OR CLICKS OFF. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, AND EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE IS SPLASHED ALL OVER THE DRIVER SIDE REAR CORNER OF THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND, AND SOMETIMES THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK. IT FIRST HAPPENED ROUGHLY 600 MILES AFTER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY EXPIRED, SO THE DEALERSHIP CURRENTLY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. *TR
