2009 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4 Fuel/propulsion System Problems

FUEL SPITS BACK DURING REFUELING CAUSE: VALVE INTEGRATED IN FUEL TANK IS DEFECTIVE, TANK REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND A SERVICE-BULLETIN WAS ISSUED (14-001-11) WITH UNLIMITED TIME AND MILEAGE EXPIRATION. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE GAS TANK HAS A DESIGN FLAW AND SOMEHOW A DEFECTIVE TANK WAS PLACED IN MY VEHICLE, I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD APPLY TO THE SERVICE BULLETIN THE SYMPTOMS AND CORRECTIVE ACTION ARE THE SAME

MY JEEP HAS BEEN HAVING AN ONGOING ISSUE WHILE FUELING. AFTER THE FUEL FILLING NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF IT WILL SPIT OUT FUEL ALL OVER ME AND MY VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE WARRANTY ON 2007-2008 JEEP WRANGLER JKS HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO BE A LIFETIME WARRANTY AND MINE DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS NOT JUST AN INCONVENIENCE. GASOLINE CAN CONTAIN HYDROCARBONS, PARAFINS, OLEFINS, CYCLOALKANES, OXYGENATORS, AND AROMATICS INCLUDING BENZENE WHICH IS A KNOWN HUMAN CARCINOGEN. THIS FUELING ISSUE IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN BUT IT IS ALSO A HEALTH CONCERN FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS.

WHEN FILLING UP MY 2 DOOR JEEP WRANGLER IT NEVER FAILS TO OVERFLOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT PUMP I USE OR HOW FAST OR SLOW I FILL UP. I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT THEY FIXED A COUPLE YEARS AND MINE DOESN'T FIT INTO THAT. I FEEL IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT THEY WON'T FIX ALL YEARS CONSIDERING THEY KNOW THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND A SAFETY HAZZARD AS THE GAS DOESN'T JUST GET ALL OVER MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND BUT MYSELF AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A COUPLE MONTHS, I THOUGHT IT WAS MAYBE THE PUMP OR THE WAY I WAS PUMPING THE GAS AND NOTHING I HAVE DONE TO CHANGE IT HAS HELPED.

WHEN I REFUEL, WHEN PUMP STOPS GAS COMES OUT.

Mileage: 74,000

PURCHASED VEHICLE LAST YEAR, SUDDENLY WHEN FILLING THE FUEL, AT THE POINT THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF THE GAS BACK BLOWS DUMPING A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF FUEL ON YOU AND THE GROUND. THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE JANUARY OF THIS YEAR AND HAS HAPPENED THE LAST THREE TIMES I HAVE FUELED MY VEHICLE AT DIFFERENT PUMPS.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP GAS. IT'S SPIT OUT GAS ON THE SIDE OF MY CAR AND ON THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS FROM THE DAY I OWN THE CAR. THE GAS ATTENDANT TOLD ME THAT IT DOESN'T THAT WITH ALL THE NEWER JEEP.

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, GAS SPITS BACK AT YOU ONTO YOU AND THE CAR. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME WE GET FUEL.

Mileage: 53,000

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, GAS NOZZLE KICKS OFF THEN FUEL SPLASHES BACK OUT OF FILLER NECK AND GOES EVERY WHERE, ANY WHERE FROM A QUART TO MORE. I HAVE BEEN SPRAYED TO MANY TIMES AND HAD TO DRIVE WITH GAS ON MY CLOTHES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS NOT ONLY FROM RISK OF FIRE BUT FROM BREATHING GAS FUMES ON ONES CLOTHES. I TALKED WITH JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASK WHY THEY DIDN'T HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND WAS INFORMED THEY DON'T ISSUE RECALLS UNLESS THEY ARE FORCED. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT, I HOPE YOU ALL WILL CHANGE YOUR DECISION AND FORCE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I CAN ALSO SEND A VIDEO OF GAS SLASHING OUT EVERY WHERE IF YOU NEED PROOF. *TR

WHEN FILLING MY 2009 WRANGLER WITH FUEL THE PUMP DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF BEFORE FUEL HAS SPILLED OUT OF THE TANK, DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND. I REPORTED THIS TO JEEP WHEN IF FIRST OCCURRED AND THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE, BUT WOULD NOT CORRECT IT FREE OF CHARGE. BUT LET ME KNOW THAT I COULD PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAVE NOT PAID TO FIX IT AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN TO THIS DAY. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT, BUT STILL HAVE NOT ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO CORRECT IT. THE DANGERS OF FUEL SPILT DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND SHOULD BE OBVIOUS.

Mileage: 1,000

DURING REFUELING FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS WE HAVE EXPERIENCE FUEL SPIT BACK. THIS HAS RESULTED IN FUEL SPILLING ON PERSON DOING THE REFUELING, FUEL ON VEHICLE AND GROUND, ENOUGH WERE THE ATTENDANT MUST CLEAN UP EXCESS FUEL ON THE GROUND. THIS IS NEAR THE EXHAUST, EXTREME FIRE DANGER,AND PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT 2007-2008 JEEPS HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. CHRYSLER HAS HAD THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS. MY GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS THE CHECK VALVE IS IN THE TANK AT A COST OF $600.00 + LABOR & TAX. RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THIS MATTER GETS INVESTIGATED PRIOR TO MAJOR INCIDENT INVOLVING EXPLOSION AND/ OR FIRE. *TR

MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER OVERFILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME I TRY AND FILL-UP. IT HAS GOTTEN TOT HE POINT THAT I GENERALLY TRY AND STOP FILLING UP AT ABOUT 3/4 OF A TANK IF I CAN, BUT IF I ALLOW IT TO FILL AON ITS OWN, IT OVERFILLS AND SPLASHES OUT. *TR

Mileage: 6,000

EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, EVER SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT IT, IT WILL SPILL GAS UPON SHUTTING THE PUMP OFF AT TOP OFF. THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE 07/08 MODELS TO THE POINT OF A FACTORY TANK REPLACEMENT, BUT THE 09 MODEL IS NOT COVERED FOR SOME REASON AND SHOULD BE. IT WILL EVENTUALLY RUIN THE PAINT AND POSSIBLY THE BUMPER COSMETICS AS WELL. PLEASE HELP. *TR

PULLING AWAY FROM A STOPLIGHT THE PLASTIC GAS PEDAL SNAPPED OFF - RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO ACCELERATE OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. I PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT FROM THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT SAME WEEK - AND THIS HAS JUST OCCURRED AGAIN (FEBRUARY 22ND 2013). THIS PAST TIME I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND THE GAS PEDAL SNAPPED AGAIN. I AM NOT AN AGGRESSIVE DRIVER. THERE MUST BE A FLAW IN THIS DESIGN. *TR

Mileage: 54,000

WHEN FUELING, GASOLINE WILL SPLASH BACK FROM THE FILLER BEFORE THE PUMP STOPS CAUSING GAS TO SPILL ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. IT HAPPENS AT ANY GAS STATION ANYTIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP. *TR

MY 2009 WRANGLER HAS AN OVERFILLING PROBLEM EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I USE THE LOWEST SETTING ON THE GAS PUMP OR IF I MANUALLY USE AS LITTLE PRESSURE AS POSSIBLE. IT OVERFILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME AND GAS POURS OUT OF THE FILL SPOUT RUNNING DOWN THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE ON MY HAND ON MY CLOTHES AND ON THE GROUND. MY MECHANIC HAS BEEN IN TOUCH WITH JEEP WHO CLAIMS THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, AND HE HAS ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORPORATION WHO HAS NOT RETURNED HIS PHONE CALLS. AT THIS POINT I JUST WANT THE PROBLEM FIXED BECAUSE THIS IS A HAZARDOUS MATERIAL THAT IS POURING OUT ONTO MY CAR, MY BODY, MY CLOTHES, AND THE GROUND. SOME ANSWERS AND/OR ACTION FROM JEEP/CHRYSLER WOULD BE GREAT! *TR
