2007 JEEP WRANGLER Fuel System, Gasoline Problems

The contact's girlfriend owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while refueling the vehicle, gasoline would spew out of the fuel filler neck. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN and that the vehicle was out of warranty. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the vehicle was out of warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

Mileage: 130,000

I PURCHASED THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER USED WITH 77, 000 MILES ON IT. I NOW HAVE 84500. EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, ONCE A WEEK, IT OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE END SPILLING ON THE FENDER, DRIVER SIDE AND GROUND. I HAVE LEARNED NEVER TO STAND NEAR IT. SINCE GETTING SOAKED A FEW TIMES.

Mileage: 84,510

EVERYIME THIS VEHICLE IS FUELED FULL AT THE GAS PUMP, IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS RESULTS IN AN OVERFLOW OF GASOLINE, EVERYWHERE...ON MY HANDS, DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND PUDDLES ON THE GROUND. THERE IS NO WARNING AND THE ONLY WAY I AM ABLE TO FILL THE TANK IS BY TURNING THE ENGINE ON AND WATCHING THE MILEAGE INCREASE ON THE DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE) DISPLAY ON MY DASH.... WHICH IS NOT SAFE TO DO. IT OCCURS EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY JEEP. THERE IS NO RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. IT'S BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED MY JEEP IN MARCH 2010.

Mileage: 115,000

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FILL OPENING WHEN FILLING THE TANK EVERYTIME. IF YOU ARE NEAR THE FUEL CAP YOU WILL GET SPRAYED WITH FUEL.

Mileage: 67,000

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X (JUST PURCHASED THIS PAST SATURDAY 3/15/14) OVERFLOWS GASOLINE WHEN FILLING IT UP. IT DOESN'T INDICATE LIKE OTHER VEHICLES THAT IT'S NEARING FULL BY SHUTTING OFF, IT KEEPS GOING AND SPLASHES OUT, EVERY TIME YOU FILL IT. *TR

Mileage: 87,715

WHEN FILLING TANK THE AUTO CUTOFFF DOES NOT WORK ON TANK AND FUEL OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS/SPRAYS. *TR

Mileage: 74,500

GAS TANK SPILLOVER. THE GAS TANK DOES NOT TRIGGER THE GAS PUMP AT THE STATION TO STOP. I CANNOT FILL MY TANK WITHOUT HAVING GAS SPILL OUT OR OVERFLOW. I DON'T RECALL WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT HAPPENING BUT APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO OR A LITTLE MORE IS WHEN I RECALL. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN IT KEEPS SPILLING OUT. *TR

Mileage: 40,000

FUEL DOES NOT SHUTOFF AUTOMATICALLY UNTIL FUEL OVERFLOWS. SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. *TR

Mileage: 32,000

FUEL BACK FLOWS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK AT GAS STATIONS WHEN FULL, NO MATTER HOW SLOW I RUN THE NOZZLE. CHRYSLER HAS DETERMINED THAT MY BUILD DATE IS BEFORE THEIR TSB, SO IT IS NOT COVERED. MY SOLUTION IS TO STUFF PAPER TOWELS AT THE NOZZLE DURING EVERY FILL, WHICH SOAKS UP THE EXCESS FUEL SPILLAGE. NOT VERY FRIENDLY TO THE ENVIRONMENT, BUT IF IT IS OK WITH CHRYSLER, THEN I GUESS IT IS OK WITH ME. *TR

Mileage: 29,000

FIRST OCCURRENCE DEC 6TH 2012, BACKING OUT OF AN INCLINED DRIVEWAY. VEHICLE SEEMED AS IF IT HAD NO POWER, STALLED, SPITTING AND SPUTTERING LIKE IT WAS STARVING FOR GAS. FINALLY GOT IT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND WAS ABOUT 15 MILES FROM CLOSEST JEEP DEALERSHIP IN OCALA FL, AND NURSED IT THERE, SPITTING AND SPUTTERING AND STALLING THE WHOLE TRIP. LEFT IT OVERNIGHT AND GOT A CALL THE NEXT DAY WHERE THEY HAD FOUND THE PROBLEM AND A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS WRONG (UNRELATED TO THE PROBLEM) I APPROVED THE FIXES AND AFTER $677.00 LATER DROVE OFF THE LOT. THE ONLY THING I CAN SEE ON THE INVOICE THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM IS A LINE THAT READS "CLEANER-FUELSYSTEM" AND HAS A $59.00 PART AND A $106.00 LABOR CHARGE. ON JANUARY 13TH 2013 IT STARTS ACTING UP AGAIN. I TAKE IT BACK TO SAME DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND COMPLAIN THAT I'M NOT GOING TO COME IN EVERY MONTH AND PAY A $90.00 DIAGNOSTICS FEE FOR SOMETHING THEY SAID WAS FIXED. SO THEY PLUG IT IN AND THE CODE TELLS THEM I WAS RUNNING "LEAN" HOWEVER THEY HAVE NO IDEA THIS TIME WHAT'S WRONG. AND OF COURSE IT'S NOT DOING IT SO THEY "CAN'T FIX WHAT'S NOT BROKE". BETWEEN JAN AND JULY IT HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES, IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH BUT NOW WILL DO IT ALMOST EVERY TRIP. WHEN IT STALLS COMPLETELY I LOOSE PS & PB, VERY DANGEROUS. IT NOW STALLS AT SPEEDS OF AROUND 50 MPH AND I JUST HAVE TO PULL ONTO SHOULDER TO RESTART. SOMETIMES IT RESTARTS RIGHT AWAY AND OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO SIT A SHORT BIT. IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO LONGER TRIPS, 1-2 HOURS. BUT SOMETIMES WILL HAPPEN AFTER BEING ON THE ROAD FOR 15 MINUTES. THE STALLING AT 50 MPH AND LOOSING PS & PB IS THE MOST CONCERNING IN TRAFFIC. *TR

Mileage: 40,292

THE VEHICLE ROUTINELY SPILLS LARGE QUANTITIES OF GASOLINE WHENEVER IT IS FILLED WITH GAS. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE "TOPPING OFF" BUT OCCURS WHENEVER THE TANK IS FILLED UNTIL THE PUMP HANDLE AUTOMATICALLY STOPS AT ANY STATION IN MULTIPLE STATES AND EVERY SINGLE TIME. *TR

Mileage: 50,000

WHILE FILLING UP FUEL TANK TO FULL AND USING THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF SUPPLIED BY ALL FUEL STATIONS THE GAS WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF THE FILLER NECK FOR 1-2 SECONDS BEFORE ACTUALLY STOPPING THE FLOW OF THE FUEL. *JS

Mileage: 48,157

EVERY TIME THAT I FILL MY VEHICLE UP WITH FUEL IT OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. AT FIRST, I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMPS AT THE GAS STATION I NORMALLY GO TO, BUT RECENTLY I'VE STARTED TO GO TO A NEW GAS STATION AND THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING. WHAT FINALLY BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTENTION WAS THAT I WAS FILLING UP, AND SOMEONE WITH THE SAME YEAR (2007) JEEP WAS GETTING GAS RIGHT NEXT TO ME AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM. I KNOW 2 OTHER PEOPLE WITH JEEP WRANGLERS AND THEIRS ARE DOING THE SAME THING. I'D BE WILLING TO BET MOST HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT'S NOT ONLY BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS WELL. *KB

Mileage: 60,000

CPSC#I1230153A. 2007 JEEP JK WRANGLER. CONSUMER STATED THAT EVERYTIME HE PUTS FUEL IN HIS VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY .5 TO 1 QUARTS OF FUEL SPITS BACK OUT. *LN CPSC: *DT

WHILE FILLING UP WITH GAS THE JEEP WILL SHOOT APPROX. 1/2 GL. OF GAS BACK OUT THE FILLER NECK. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. NOW OVER THE COARSE OF TWO YEARS IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME AT FILL UP. MY WIFE AND MYSELF HAVE BEEN SPRAYED BY GAS THAT HAS SHOT BACK OUT. JEEP HAS PLACED A TSB/RECALL ON CERTAIN BUILD DATES BUT MY BUILD DATE DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THOSE DATES. *TR *JS

Mileage: 43,000

ALL COMPLETE FILLS OF GAS IN THE TANK CREATES A SPILLOVER. NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN IT NEARS FULL OTHERWISE A MINIMUM OF A CUP OF FUEL SPILLS. THE SHUTOFF ON THE PUMP IS NOT RECOGNIZED. HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS. NOTICE NUMEROUS OTHER POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

MY WRANGLER WAS MANUFACTURED 2/07- I PURCHASED IT USED IN 2/12. EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK, GAS SPILLS OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PUMP STOPS. DAIMLER CHRYSLER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS AN ISSUE DESPITE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM 2007-08 WRANGLER OWNERS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK WHILE REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE CHECK VALVE IN FUEL TANK FAILED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,500. THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE HAPPENED FOUR TO FIVE TIMES OVER SEVERAL TIMES, WHILE USING THE AUTO SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP OR HAND FILLING THE TANK. GAS SPILLED OUT OF THE FILLER AREA, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ONTO THE CONSUMER'S SHOES. IT WAS DETERMINED THE CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK FAILED. UPDATED 04/18/12

I JUST BOUGHT JEEP USED. FIRST TIME I FILLED UP THE PUMP CUT OFF AND THEN THERE WAS A SURGE OF GAS THAT SPEWED OUT. ON SECOND REFILL TODAY AT A DIFFERENT STATION WITH NEW PUMPS SAME THING HAPPENED GAS SPEWED UNDER SUCH FORCE IT WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IN EYES HAD I NOT HAD SUNGLASSES ON. SPILLAGE WAS OVER A LITER AND WAS ALL OVER CLOTHING AND ATTENDANT HAD TO SPREAD ABSORBENT. *TR

Mileage: 38,000

JUST PURCHASED THIS JEEP USED, EXCELLENT CONDITION FEW DAYS AGO JAN. 2012. MAJOR FUEL SPITTING BACK UPON FILLING THE TANK. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AS EXPECTED AND THEN THERE IS A HUGE GUSH OF GAS THAT COMES OUT AFTER ALL OVER ME, THE SIDE OF JEEP, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND A FIRE CONCERN! THE SECOND ATTEMPT AT FUELING I TRIED SLOWING THE SPEED OF GAS AND NOT FILLING ALL THE WAY --- SAME THING HAPPENED. JEEP DEALER ACTS THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS. A LIE. I'VE EMAILED CHRYSLER AND THEY ALSO ARE ACTING LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A COPY OF A LETTER THEY HAVE SENT TO PREVIOUS OWNERS ABOUT IT STATING THEY WOULD REPAIR THIS FUEL SPITBACK ISSUE. APPARENTLY, MY PREVIOUS OWNER DID NOTHING! I'VE NOW READ ALL OF THE REPORTS AND CLAIMS. TOO BAD WE DIDN'T KNOW THIS BEFORE. I AM AFRAID TO PUT MY FAMILY IN THIS JEEP AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT FOR A WEEK. YOU DON'T THINK IT'S A RECALL? I NEED THIS FIXED! WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO ISSUE A RECALL? A FIRE, EXPLOSION? OR DO YOU NEED TO WAIT FOR A DEATH FIRST? WOULD YOU LIKE A VIDEO OF THIS FUEL SPITTING BACK OUT OF THE SIDE OF MY NEW JEEP? I WOULD BE GLAD TO FILM IT FOR YOU AS PROOF! IT'S NOT JUST A LITTLE FUEL --- IT'S A GUSH! WAKE UP, OKAY? I AM A NEW OWNER AND NOBODY AND NO INTERNET SITES OR SOCIAL MEDIA B.S. IS INFLUENCING ME. I NEED HELP AND SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE WITH THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

Mileage: 400,020

DURING FUELING, AFTER THE AUTO-SHUTOFF OF THE FUEL PUMP STOPS THE FUEL DISPENSING, FUEL OVERFLOWS (APPROX. 1/2-1 GALLON) FROM THE FUEL TANK PAST THE STILL IN-PLACE PUMP HANDLE CAUSING FUEL TO SPILL ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND, AND ON ANYONE STANDING DIRECTLY BESIDE THE FUEL INLET. *TR

FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM TANK WHEN FILLING VEHICLE. *KB

Mileage: 33,000

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE TANK WILL OVERFILL EVERY TIME THAT THE FUEL HOSE HANDLE IS ALLOWED TO CUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. GAS WILL THEN SPLASH DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ON TO THE GROUND. *TR

Mileage: 1,500

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWING SINCE IT WAS ALMOST NEW. JEEP HAS REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY HAZARD THAT THIS FLAW CAUSES EACH AND EVERY TIME THESE JEEPS ARE FUELED UP. AT THE POINT OF FILLING UP, THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS SENDING LARGE AMOUNTS OF GAS ON THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A TERRIBLE FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD THAT COULD LEAD TO PUBLIC INJURY AND EVEN DEATH IF IT CAUSED A FIRE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE A VIDEO OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING IF NEEDED TO GET THIS ADDRESSED. ABSENT ACTION BEING TAKEN HERE, I AM NOT SURE WHERE TO TURN OTHER THAN MAINSTREAM MEDIA TO GET ACTION TO BE TAKEN. *TR

Mileage: 10,000

BOUGHT THIS JEEP USED IN FEB 2011. IT SPILLS FUEL EVERYWHERE DURING FILL UP AT GAS PUMP WHEN NOZZLE CUTS OFF. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME AND AT MULTIPLE STATIONS. I HAVE TO USUALLY ONLY PUT 15-18 GALLONS IN TO PREVENT IT FROM SPILLING OVER. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES IT HAS SPIT AND SPILLED ON MYSELF OR MY WIFE DURING FUELING. *TR

Mileage: 47,900

FUEL OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I VISIT THE GAS STATION. EACH GAS STATION PUMP AUTO SHUTOFF WORKS PROPERLY BUT FUEL ALWAYS SPILLS OVER. IT IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

Mileage: 350

VEHICLE WAS JUST PURCHASED CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED. VEHICLE CAME WITH A FULL TANK OF GASOLINE. WHILE RE-FILLING AT A GAS STATION FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE TANK FILLED NORMALLY. AS SOON AS THE FUEL REACHED THE NOZZLE END I HEARD THE NOZZLE CLICK OFF. THEN APPROXIMATELY HALF A GALLON OF FUEL SPRAYED OUT THE END OF THE FILL TUBE. THE FUEL RAN ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ALSO SPRAYED ONTO MY PANT LEG AND SHOE. I HAVE SINCE LOOKED THIS ISSUE UP ONLINE IN JEEP OWNER'S FORUMS AND FOUND THIS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM AMONG SO MANY OF THESE MODELS. NOT ONLY IS THIS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY ISSUE, BUT ALSO AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE AS WELL. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE TANK IS NOT VENTED PROPERLY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION BEFORE A TRAGIC EVENT OCCURS. EARLIER IN THIS FORM I WAS ASKED IF A FIRE OCCURRED I ANSWERED NO. THANK GOD THIS TIME THERE WAS NOT. THIS DEFECT NOT UNLIKE THROWING LIT MATCHES AT A GAS PUMP.

Mileage: 23,785

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK AT THE PUMP THE TANK OVERFILLS BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT ALMOST EVERY PUMP WITH ANY ANGLE AND DEPTH OF NOZZLE. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ON MANY JEEP FORUMS. *TR

Mileage: 15,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FULL WITH GASOLINE FUEL IT WOULD SPILL OUT ABNORMALLY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN, BUT THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,713.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL WOULD SPILL OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

Mileage: 75,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 TO 60 MPH WHEN THE STEERING BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY APPLY THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL WOULD SPILL BACK OUT FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACT BUT DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 59,000. FORM RETURNED NO CHANGE

Mileage: 50,000

WHILE FILLING JEEP WITH GAS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I PURCHASED USED, GAS OVERFLOWED FROM TANK, GAS PUMP DID NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL GAS WAS SPILLING OUT. I INFORMED THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT, THINKING IT WAS A GAS PUMP PROBLEM. SINCE THEN, I HAVE FILLED UP AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS, AND THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME UNLESS WE SLOWLY PUMP THE GAS IN AS THE TANK FILLS.

Mileage: 83,500

FUEL SPLASH BACK WHEN PUMP SET ON AUTO SHUT OFF, LOWEST SETTING. WILL LOOSE 2 - 6 OZ. FUEL ON TO SIDE OF VEHICLE AND OFTEN ENOUGH TO SPLASH ON DRIVE. DEALER DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ONGOING PROBLEM.

Mileage: 24,000

MY VEHICLE SPILLS FUEL OUT OF THE FILLER AREA EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THE FUEL GETS ON ME, THE VEHICLE, AND THE GROUND. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE MATTER, AND THEY ADVISE ME BECAUSE I AM OUTSIDE THE TIME FRAME FOR THEIR TSB, ANY REPAIRS WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID BY ME. AFTER THOROUGHLY RESEARCHING THE MATTER, IT SEEMS THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD CONCERN. CHRYSLER HAS ADDRESSED THE ISSUE FOR SOME, BUT NOT OTHERS BECAUSE "WE'RE OUTSIDE THE WINDOW". PLEASE SEE YOUR CODE #PE10032. ALSO, MY VEHICLE CONSUMES OR BURNS OIL AT THE RATE OF ONE QUART PER 1000 MILES. AGAIN, RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS ANOTHER WIDE SPREAD MATTER ATTRIBUTED TO FAULTY MOTOR CONSTRUCTION OF SOME 2007/2008 ENGINES. OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE REPAIR DONE UNDER WARRANTY FOUND THAT ON THREE PISTONS, RING GAPS WHERE IN A LINE, THE OTHER THREE WHERE CLOSE, ALL SIX OIL EXPANDER RINGS AND PISTON RODS WHERE INSTALLED UPSIDE DOWN. CHRYSLER WILL ADDRESS THE MATTER ONLY IF YOU ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE COST SHOULD BE BARED BY THE CONSUMER WHEN BOTH MATTERS ARE SO COMMON AND WIDE SPREAD AS TO INDICATE DESIGN FLAWS IN THE PRODUCT. WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR THEIR INABILITY TO BUILD A COMPONENT CORRECTLY?

Mileage: 59,900

WHILE PUMPING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE. THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKS AND SHUTS OFF FUEL WHEN GAS TANK IS FULL. THE VEHICLE WILL BURST FUEL BACK OUT. SPILLING ALL OVER SIDE OF VEHICLE AND ON TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I PUMP GAS I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I DON'T FILL GAS TANK TO FULL OR THE PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND IN DIFFERENT GASOLINE STATIONS.

Mileage: 27,000

WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF DOES NOT ENGAGE FROM THE VEHICLE ITSELF. FUEL (ABOUT A QUART) CONTINUES TO FLOW AND OUT AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO SPRAYS OUT AND ON THE PERSONNEL FUELING THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A TSB 14-001-11 FROM JEEP ABOUT THE ISSUE, AND I REQUEST THIS BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS UNSAFE FOR THE OPERATOR TO HAVE FUEL SPRAYED ON THEM, AND HAVE FUEL SPILLAGE ON THE GROUND.

Mileage: 25,000

MY BUILD DATE ON MY JEEP SAHARA WAS 10/2006. IT STARTED SHOOTING GAS BACK OUT THE FILL PIPE APP. A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED IT AND IT IS STILL DOING IT ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP REGARDLESS OF THE GAS STATION OR THE SPEED THE PUMP IS PUMPING (SLOW MEDIUM OR FAST).IT HAS SHOT GAS OUT AS FAR AS A FOOT FROM THE JEEP, SPRAYING ON ME A COUPLE DIFFERENT TIMES. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT SOME JEEPS AFTER A BUILD DATE FROM MARCH 2007 THRU 2008 ARE BEING REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE EARLIER BUILD DATES ARE NOT SINCE IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM.

Mileage: 11,700

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE FUEL WILL OVERFLOW AS MUCH AS A QUART OUT OF THE FUEL INLET DOWN MY REAR FENDER, BUMPER, AND TO THE GROUND AFTER RELEASING THE GAS SPOUT HANDLE STOPPING THE FLOW OF FUEL.

WHEN FUELING AT AUTOMATIC CUT OFF GAS PUMPS FUEL WILL SPLASH BACK OUT OF FILLER NECK ON PERSONS , FENDER AND GROUND BEFORE TANK IS FULL AND PUMP CUTS OFF

Mileage: 28,900

GAS TANK OVERFILL. WHEN FUELING, AFTER THE GAS STATION PUMP CLICKS OFF, LARGE VOLUMES OF GASOLINE ARE EJECTED FROM THE GAS TANK ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ONTO THE PUMP HANDLE ITSELF, AND ONTO THE PERSON DOING THE FUELING (ME). AGAIN, THIS HAPPENS *AFTER* THE GAS PUMP CLICKS ITSELF OFF.

Mileage: 38,490

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK NO MATTER WHERE I AM SPILLAGE OCCURS AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF. JEEP WAS AROUND 2 YEARS OLD WHEN THIS STARTED HAPPENING.

GAS SURGES OUT OF GAS TANK SHORTLY AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF ON GAS PUMP ACTIVATES. SEVERAL CUPS OF GASOLINE POUR DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND PUDDLES ON THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL MY CAR AT EVERY GAS STATION. I NOW ONLY FILL MY CAR TO APPROXIMATELY 3/4 FULL. IT STARTED HAPPENING FALL OF 2010 WITH APPROXIMATELY 37,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10-12 TIMES.

Mileage: 37,000

THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT I FACE WHEN I FILL THE VEHICLE UP AT ANY GAS STATION. WHILE FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE AUTO STOP CLICKS, AND IMMEDIATELY THE TANK STARTS SPILLING GAS. THE GAS SPILLS OUT AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND CREATING A PUDDLE. THIS PROBLEM ISN'T ATTRIBUTABLE TO TRYING TO "TOP OFF" THE TANK BECAUSE THE BY THE FIRST TIME THE AUTO STOP CLICKS, THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY POURING OUT GASOLINE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY OTHER OWNERS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE SAID THE SAME THING. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THROUGH NHTSA, AND THEY HAVE AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER (ACTION NUMBER : PE10032).

Mileage: 43,000

WHEN REFUELING, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SPILLED OUT AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. WITHIN A SECOND OR 2 OF THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF GAS THEN FLOWED OUT OF THE TANK FILLER TUBE. IT SPLASHED ALL OVER MY PANTS AND SHOES ALONG WITH THE CAR ITSELF.

Mileage: 37,765

APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TO 1/2 GALLON OF FUEL BACK FLOWS FORCEFULLY OUT OF FILLER NECK IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF THE HANDLE WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHEN THE HANDLE IS LOCKED DOWN IN FUELING POSITION AND AUTOMATICALLY CLICKS OFF AND WHEN I AM HOLDING THE HANDLE TO FILL THE TANK. AT NO TIME AM I ATTEMPTING TO OVERFILL THE TANK BEYOND THE SAFETY SHUT OFF.

Mileage: 38,000

WHEN FILLING WITH GAS SPEWS OUT. ON JANUARY 10TH FLEW OUT SO BAD, MY WINTER COAT, PANTS, GLOVES AND SHOES WERE RUINED. BEEN ONGOING PROBLEM. HAS REPAIR ORDERS FROM DEALERSHIP. IN ADDITION, THE HARD TOP HAS LEAKED SINCE DAY ONE AND NEVER BEEN REPAIRED. I AM NOT DRIVING VEHICLE SINCE THE AWFUL SPILLAGE ON JANUARY 10TH. I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP RUINING CLOTHES. IN ADDITION, CONCERNED IT CAN CAUSE FURTHER PROBLEM (IE, PERHAPS FIRE). ALWAYS IN ATTENDANCE WHILE FILLING. SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL OTHER JEEP OWNERS EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR CHRYSLER TO CORRECT THIS DEFAULT, A DEATH, OR SEVERE INJURY. IF NOT WINTER TIME I FEEL I WOULD HAVE BEEN BURNED ON MY SKIN BY THE GASOLINE.

Mileage: 100

WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE GAS SPLASHES OUT OF THE TANK ONTO MYSELF, SIDE OF VEHICLE, AND GROUND. INCIDENT OCCURS WHEN THE TANK IS NEARLY FULL DURING THE REFUELING PROCESS.

Mileage: 39,150

WHEN REFUELING VEHICLE AT ANY FUEL STATION, FUEL NOZZLE DOES NOT SHUTOFF AND OVER SPILLS AT FUEL OPENING. IT OCCURS REGARDLESS OF TEMPERATURE, FUEL STATION, OR POSITIONING OF FUEL NOZZLE IN PORT.

2007 JEEP WRANGLER - EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, SINCE ROUGHLY 10,000 MILES (NOW AT 63,000) THE AUTO SHUT OFF FEATURE OF GAS PUMPS WILL NOT SHUT OFF IN TIME. THIS CAUSES ROUGHLY 1/4 GALLON OF FUEL TO SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING SITUATION FOR A COUPLE YEARS. I CANNOT RELY ON THE AUTO-SHUT OFF OF THE PUMP WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS, SINCE THE NEW MODEL FROM 2007. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY WERE DENIED BY DEALERSHIPS. I AM FINALLY SCHEDULED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK (A KNOWN FIX FOR THE ISSUE); BUT WILL BE PAYING FOR IT OUT OF POCKET, AS THE WARRANTY HAS SINCE EXPIRED. *TR

Mileage: 10,000

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP JK THAT HAS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM OF HAVING FUEL SPILL OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE JEEP WHEN REFUELING. ALMOST INSTANTANEOUSLY, THE FUEL NOZZLE HANDLE SHUTS OFF AND ROUGHLY GALLON OF FUEL GUSHES OUT ON THE JEEP, BUMPER AND GROUND. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM IS TO FILL HALF WAY OR ATTEMPT TO LISTEN FOR FUEL COMING CLOSE TO THE TOP OF THE TANK.

Mileage: 22,000

WHEN REFUELING, AS YOU NEAR FULL, THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF, AND YOU WILL GET A BIG SPLASH BACK OF GASOLINE( ABOUT 2-5 CUPS). IT WILL SPLASH BACK ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND RUBBER FENDER AND REAR PLASTIC BUMPER. EVEN IF YOU TRY TO GUESS WHEN ITS NEARING FULL, IT STILL SEEMS TO BE SOME BACK SPLASH WHEN YOU SHUT IT OFF NEAR FULL

Mileage: 37,000

EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED WITH GASOLINE, GASOLINE EXITS THE TANK THROUGH THE FILLER TUBE AND SPLASHES ON THE GROUND LEAVING A POTENTIAL FOR FIRE. THIS HAPPENS AT PUMPS AT DIFFERENT STATIONS IN DIFFERENT STATES, DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF FUEL WITHIN BEFORE FUELING, AND REGARDLESS OF PLACEMENT OF THE FILLING HANDLE OF THE PUMP. THE VEHICLE WORKED AS IT SHOULD FOR THE FIRST 25K MILES AND WILL NOT FILL CORRECTLY SINCE THAT TIME WITHOUT LEAVING FUEL ON THE GROUND. THIS IS MY SECOND 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AND BOTH HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MILEAGE. EACH VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH THE CORRECT GASOLINE AS PRESCRIBED BY THE MANUAL AND ALL MAINTENANCE WAS DONE AT A 5 STAR JEEP DEALER ON BOTH. THERE APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE GAS SYSTEM.

Mileage: 25,000

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH FUEL, THE TANK DOES NOT PROPERLY VENT CAUSING FUEL TO SPURT OUT THE FILLER NECK AS IT APPROACHES FULL. THE GAS SPURTS ON THE VEHICLE'S 1/4 PANEL, ON THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW DURING THE LAST SEVERAL FILL UPS. YOU MUST ALSO FILL SLOWLY OR THE GAS NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AS IF THE TANK IS FULL. I HAVE AN EXTENSIVE AUTOMOTIVE BACKGROUND AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE TANK IS NOT PROPERLY VENTING. THIS OCCURS IN BOATS WHEN PERMANENT MOUNTED FUEL TANK VENT LINES BECOME BLOCKED OR COLLAPSE OVER TIME.

Mileage: 48,314

WHILE FILLING FUEL TANK, AT ALMOST FULL OR FULL TANK, PUMP WILL SHUT OFF OR AUTO STOP, AND THEN FUEL WILL START TO SHOOT BACK OUT OF GAS FILLER AS ALMOST UNDER PRESSURE. SOMETIMES IT'S A FEW DROPS, BUT MORE OFTEN IT IS A LOT. IF YOUR NEARBY YOU WILL GET COVERED IN GAS, HAPPENS 4 OUT OF 5 TIMES WHILE FILLING UP NOW. I FEEL THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS MY JEEP AND ANYONE NEAR IT DURING FILL UP CAN END UP COVERED IN GAS

Mileage: 15,825

FUEL SPILL EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED. AS THE PUMP CLICKS OFF IT STARTS VENTING FUEL ON THE PERSON FILLING & ON THE GROUND.

Mileage: 29,000

WHILE I WAS FILLING UP WITH GAS THE NOZZLE KICKED OFF AND FUEL OVERFLOWED ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND THE GROUND. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE STATIONS PUMP FOR THE ISSUE. A WEEK LATER I WAS AT ANOTHER GAS STATION FILLING UP WITH GAS AND IT DID IT AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME GAS SPILLED ALL OVER MY JEEP, PANTS AND SHOES. EVERY SINCE THE FIRST EPISODE IT HAD HAPPENED EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I HAVE TRIED TO HOLD THE NOZZLE AND PUMP IT SLOWLY, BUT IT STILL HAPPENS. IT IS BEYOND FRUSTRATING TO HAVE TO WASH THE SIDE OF MY JEEP OFF EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS. THIS COULD BE A VERY BIG ISSUE. I HAD THE GAS SPILL ALL OVER MY JEANS AND SHOES MAKING THEM BOTH FLAMMABLE. ALSO, IT COULD HAVE SPLASHED INTO MY EYES. I THINK JEEP NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE OPERATING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THE MOTOR FAILED. THERE WAS BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD UPON FAILURE. THE CONTACT MADE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS TO THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AT HIS OWN EXPENSE. HE ALSO STATED THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFECTIVE AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL TANK SKID PLATE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,000.
