2008 JEEP WRANGLER Fuel System, Gasoline Problems

ON MAY 29TH OF 2014 I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER DOWN A 4 LANE CITY STREET AT ABOUT 3000 RPM. I HAD JUST TAKEN OFF FROM A RED LIGHT WHEN I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION THAT RESULTED IN A FIRE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE GAS TANK EXPLODED AND THE FIRE COVERED THE BOTTOM OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. THERE WAS DAMAGE UNDER THE HOOD ON THE ENGINE SIDE OF THE FIREWALL ON WHAT APPEARED TO BE FUEL LINES. LUCKILY THERE WAS A QUICK RESPONSE BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHO QUICKLY EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE, BUT MY JEEP HAS BEEN RENDERED UN-DRIVABLE. I HAVE CONTACTED BOTH CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP BUT NOT ASSISTANCE THERE. THE CHRYSLER INVESTIGATION TEAM WOULD NOT EVEN TAKE A LOOK AT THE FUEL LINES THE MARSHAL DETERMINED STARTED THE FIRE. I WILL NEVER FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE PRODUCED BY CHRYSLER EVER AGAIN. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO PERSONAL INJURY TO ME, BUT ONLY BECAUSE I HAD ALL THE DOORS AND TOP OFF WHICH ENABLED A RAPID ESCAPE. PLEASE TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK A THESE WRANGLERS AND FORCE CHRYSLER TO TAKE ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. *TR

Mileage: 90,000

EVERY TIME I FILL MY FUEL TANK GAS LEAKS OUT ALL OVER THE JEEP BODY THE BUMPER, MY FEET, AND NOT JUST A LITTLE BUT A LOT! *TR

Mileage: 58,000

I JUST PULLED OUT OF QUICK TRIP AFTER PUTTING $60 IN GAS IN AND RIGHT ABOUT 35 MPH AROUND 1500RPM I HEARD A LOUD "POP" THE JEEP SHUT DOWN, THEN FLAMES CAME FROM BOTH SIDES OF MY JEEP, ALMOST BURNING MY LEG. (I HAD THE DOORS AND TOP OFF THE VEHICLE.) *TR

Mileage: 90,000

WHEN I FILL UP THE VEHICLE, GAS FLOWS BACKWARDS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND POURS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ONTO THE GROUND. I LOOSE AT LEAST 12 OUNCES. *TR

Mileage: 70,000

WHEN FILLING THE JEEP UP FOR THE 1ST TIME SINCE BUYING IT FUEL WAS SPIT BACK OUT WHEN IT WAS FULL. *TR

Mileage: 67,950

EVERY SINGLE TIME I GO TO FILL UP MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA GAS SPILLS DOWN THE SIDE AND ONTO THE GROUND. WHEN THE PUMP CLICKS OFF IT IS ALREADY OVER-FILLED AND SPILLS EVERYWHERE! I'VE TRIED HOLDING IT AT DIFFERENT ANGLES AND PUSHING IT FARTHER IN BUT NOTHING WORKS EXCEPT NOT FILLING UP MY VEHICLE ENTIRELY. THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE RISK AND NOT TO MENTION THE WAY THE FUEL IS RUINING THE PAINT AND DISCOLORING MY BUMPER! *TR

Mileage: 50,051

THE FUEL SPILLS BACK DURING REFUELING. *TR

Mileage: 48,000

UPON FILLING UP THE VEHICLE, FUEL RUSHES OUT OF THE INLET AND ONTO THE FENDER GUARD, BODY, AND BUMPER AND ON THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY AT EVERY FILL UP. AFTER THE FIRST THREE TIMES THIS HAPPENED I CAUGHT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FROM THE SPILL = 3 PINTS +. IT SHOOTS ALL OVER MY HANDS, ARM, AND LEG. VERY DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS HAVING GAS ALL OVER ME. *TR

Mileage: 64,000

GAS SPEWS OUT AND DOES NOT SHUT OFF CORRECTLY WHEN TANK IS FULL. KEEPS SHUTTING OFF GAS WHEN IT IS NOT FULL CAUSING IT TO TAKE AN EXTREMELY LONG TIME TO FILL, BUT WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN TANK IS FULL AND WILL SPIT BACK GAS AND OVER FLOW. *TR

Mileage: 110,000

PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN FUELING. AUTO PUMP SHUTOFF DOES NOT WORK WITH THIS GAS TANK FILLER, FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF FILL UP. ONLY TIME FUEL DOES NOT SPILL OUT IF YOU VERY SLOWLY ADD FUEL AND STOP BEFORE TANK IS FULL. *TR

Mileage: 36,310

WHEN REFUELING, THE VEHICLE EJECTS BETWEEN 1 TBLSP AND 1 PINT OF FUEL FROM THE FILLER NECK DEPENDING ON THE PUMP, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, AND FUEL LEVEL PRIOR TO FILLING. FUEL IS EJECTED A DISTANCE OF UP TO 6' (OBSERVED). FUEL IS ONLY SPILLED WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED AND AT TERMINATION OF THE PROCEDURE. WARM TEMPERATURES EJECT MORE FUEL. THIS OCCURS 100% OF THE TIME AND I NEED TO WARN ATTENDANTS SO THEY DON'T GET FUEL SPLASHED ON THEM. WE ARE IN OREGON WHERE SELF-SERVICE IS NOT ALLOWED. *TR

HAD BEEN SMELLING RAW GAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. FINALLY TRACKED DOWN TO FUEL LINE COMING FROM GAS TANK. PLASTIC ELBOW UNDER DRIVER SEAT (RHD POSTAL JEEP) HAS PINHOLE AND HAS BEEN SQUIRTING A FINE STREAM OF FUEL ONTO BOTTOM OF VEHICLE. IF IT HAD SQUIRTED ON EXHAUST OR ANY OTHER HOT SURFACE, IT WOULD SURELY CAUSE A FIRE. WONDER IF ANY OTHER ELBOWS HAVE FAILED ON OTHER VEHICLES, AND ALSO IF THERE ARE ANY FUEL LINE ELBOWS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT? COULD BE EXPLANATION FOR ENGINE FIRES THAT ARE BEING INVESTIGATED. LOCAL JEEP DEALER HAD REPLACED FUEL TANK ON 10-19-11 DUE TO A RECALL ABOUT FUEL SPILLING OUT OF FILLER TUBE AFTER FUEL HANDLE CLICKED OFF. NEVER NOTICED GAS SMELL BEFORE THE TANK WAS REPLACED. *TR

Mileage: 122,000

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, IF ALLOWED TO FILL COMPLETELY IT WILL PUKE GAS BACK OUT AFTER THE AUTOMATIC PUMP SHUT OFF. ENOUGH GAS TO RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ON TO THE GROUND. SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT WILL DO IT EVERY TIME IF I DO NOT STOP IT EARLY. *TR

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS (SPRAYS OUT) WHILE FILLING AT GAS STATION PUMP AFTER PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. TRIED NUMEROUS GAS STATIONS, PUMPING GAS SLOWLY ALL WITH SAME EFFECT. *TR

Mileage: 32,140

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK, ANYWHERE FROM A CUP TO A QUART OR MORE OF FUEL OVERFLOWS AND SPRAYS OUT AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND (OR EVEN ON TO ME IF I'M STANDING BY IT) AFTER THE PUMP STOPS. I BOUGHT THE JEEP USED, AND IT HAS DONE THIS AT EVERY FILL UP SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY JEEP WRANGLER... THE PUMP STOPS AND THEN FUEL COMES RUSHING OUT. HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I FILL IT AT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT GAS STATION. READ ONLINE THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. MY 08 LIBERTY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 50,000

WHEN FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE THE GAS WILL SPILL BACK OUT ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND AND ME. *TR

Mileage: 42,000

GAS OVERFLOWS DURING REFUELING. NO MATTER THE SETTING ON THE PUMP NOZZLE, AFTER THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF MORE THAN A PINT OF GAS SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE JUNE 2008 AND THE GAS NEVER OVERFLOWED BEFORE DECEMBER 2011. NOW IT OVERFLOWS AT EVERY REFUELING, AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. GAS SPILLS AT EVERY REFUELING ARE A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

Mileage: 36,900

FUEL OVERFLOWS WHEN REFUELING. OVERFLOW OCCURS EVEN WITHOUT FILLING THE TANK. PARKING BRAKE DOESN'T WORK UNLESS YOU PULL IT UP VERY HARD AND STILL DOESN'T KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. AIR CONDITIONER DOESN'T COOL. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPAIR. BLOWS "SMOKE" FROM VENTS. A LOUD "KNOCK" SOUND WHEN YOU TURN THE A/C ON/OFF OR WHEN YOU CRANK THE VEHICLE AND THE A/C CONTROL IS ON. SOFT TOP LEAKS OVER BOTH DOORS WHEN IT RAINS. SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS CONFIRMED PROPER TOP INSTALLATION. SHARP EDGES ON THE ROLL BARS. ROLL BAR COVERS HAVE RIPPED AS A RESULT OF PUTTING THE TOP UP OR DOWN. DANGEROUS "WOBBLE" WHEN YOU HIT A SMALL POTHOLE, CHANGE UNEVEN LANES, ETC. HOOD LIFTS APPROX. 2 INCHES WHEN A LARGE TRUCK OR TRAILER PASSES OR MEETS THE JEEP. MANUAL TRANSMISSION "GRINDS OR CATCHES" WHEN SHIFTING INTO 2ND GEAR, WORSE WHEN COLD. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A 2008 USED JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X. THE VERY FIRST TIME I GO TO FILL THE GAS TANK, THE AUTO SHUT OFF FAILS AND GAS STARTS SPRAYING EVERYWHERE. I WAS COVERED IN IT FROM THE WASTE DOWN AND STANDING IN A PUDDLE OF IT. *TR

Mileage: 75,230

DURING A FILL-UP, THE GAS OVERFLOWS EVERYTIME. THIS OCCURS AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. *TR

Mileage: 44,000

ON MULTIPLE INSTANCES, WHILE FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE GAS WILL NOT SHUT OFF, AND THE FUEL WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF THE TANK AND SPILL ON THE GROUND AND SIDE OF VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, AND I HAVE FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR JEEP. VEHICLE IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY, AND I FEEL THIS UNSAFE CONDITION SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

Mileage: 32,000

THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FUEL REGURGITATING FROM THE FUEL FILLER NECK ON FILLUP FOR 2008 WRANGLERS. MY WIFE'S 2008 WRANGLER 4-DOOR HAD THE ISSUE AND WAS REPAIRED. 4 MONTHS LATER, MY 2008 WRANGLER 2-DOOR DID THE SAME THING. WHEN REPORTING TO THE DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE GROUP WITH THE PROBLEM. YET THERE I STOOD AT THE PUMP WITH A QUART OF GASOLINE ALL OVER MY JEEP, THE GROUND AND ME. THIS IS A FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. THE GROUP IS CLEARLY LARGER THAN CHRYSLER IS ADMITTING. I WANT MY JEEP FIXED JUST LIKE MY WIFE'S WAS WHEN SHE HAD THIS ISSUE! *TR

Mileage: 32,241

WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS THE GAS SPEWS OUT AS THE TANK BECOMES FULL INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT GAS STATION OR HOW I FILL UP. HAPPENS EVERY TIME. *TR

ISSUE WITH FUEL SPILLAGE WHEN FILLING UP THE VEHICLE. APPARENTLY THERE IS FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE THAT HAS AN ISSUE. EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL THE VEHICLE UP WITH GAS IT OVERFLOWS...THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AS IT SHOULD BUT THERE IS AN OVERFLOW OF GAS THAT COMES OUT OF THE VEHICLE AFTER THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. I'VE HAD TO STOP FILLING MY VEHICLE UP AND GO TO ONLY PUTTING $30 OR SO IN TO KEEP IT FROM OVERFLOWING. THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME UNTIL I HAD SOMEONE ELSE TRY FILING IT UP AND IT DID THE SAME THING. FOUND OUT A FRIEND OF MINE WHO ALSO HAS A JEEP (2 YEARS OLDER THAN MINE) HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE HIS FUEL TANK REPLACED. *TR

Mileage: 50,000

I JUST PURCHASE A JEEP AND THE FIRST TIME I FILLED UP WITH GAS, THE PUMP SHUT OFF BUT FUEL SPLASHED OUT ON THE GROUND, THE VEHICLE AND ME. I THOUGHT AT FIRST I JUST HAD DONE SOMETHING WRONG. I WENT THREE DAYS LATER TO FUEL UP AGAIN AND THIS TIME DID NOT USE THE NOZZLE HANDLE LATCH AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE PUMP SHUT OFF AND I KEPT THE NOZZLE IN THE TANK FOR A MOMENT FOR THE FUEL TO SETTLE BUT IT SPILLED OUT WITH FORCE ALL OVER MY CAR, THE CONCRETE AND ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AS I LOVE MY JEEP BUT THIS IS UNSAFE AND I WANT IT FIXED! OBVIOUSLY THERE IS NO WARRANTY REMAINING BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW FUEL TANK AND SYSTEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET FORUMS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED......BEFORE A MAJOR INCIDENT OCCURS! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED, A BURNING RUBBER ODOR EMITTED FROM THE VENTS AS THE IGNITION FAILED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD FREQUENTLY FAIL TO IMMEDIATELY START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE. THE DEALER WIPED AND SPRAYED THE VENTS, BUT THE BURNING ODOR WAS STILL PRESENT AND THE STARTING FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,000. UPDATED 09/15/11*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED SHE NOTICED A CHEMICAL, FUEL LIKE BURNING RUBBER SMELL. THE VEHICLE FAILS TO START OCCASIONALLY. THE SMELL EMITS EVEN WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS OFF AND THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING REGULARLY. UPDATED 09/16/11

Mileage: 30,000

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON OCCASIONALLY MAKING A WARNING BELL. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE AIRBAG IS FUNCTIONAL. HAD IT TO THE DEALER ONCE BUT SINCE I WORK IN THIS VEHICLE I COULD NOT LEAVE IT SO THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE IF IT IS THE CLOCKSPRING OR AN AIRBAG MODULE. THE FUEL INLET ALSO SPEWS GAS WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE FUEL ISSUE, BUT I HAVE HAD PARTS ON ORDER FOR EIGHT MONTHS AND THEY ARE STILL ON BACKORDER.

Mileage: 31,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON THREE OCCASIONS THEY WERE FILLING THE GAS TANK ON THE VEHICLE AND THE GASOLINE STARTED SPILLING OUT FROM THE TANK. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT, BUT THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH A DEALER WHO SAID THEY MAY HAVE TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,990 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,400.

2008 JEEL WRANGLER CAUSES FUEL SPILLS NEEDING TO BE REPORTED TO THE NYSDEC SPILL HOTLINE FOR CLEANUP AND REMEDIATION DURING FILL UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT GASOLINE WAS ABNORMALLY LEAKING FROM THE GAS TANK. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS A WAITING LIST FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000. UPDATED 05/03/11*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE GAS TANK LEAKED AND OVERFLOWED. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE COULD ONLY FILL THE TANK HALF WAY. UPDATED 06/06/11

Mileage: 43,000

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM THE FUEL RECEPTACLE 1-2 SECONDS AFTER THE PUMP CUTS THE FLOW OF FUEL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED AND HAS OCCURRED USING IN EXCESS OF 50 DIFFERENT FUELING STATIONS. APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART OF FUEL SPILLS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD.

Mileage: 1

STARTING IN NOVEMBER 2010 WITH LESS THAN 34,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHEN FILLING UP WITH FUEL THE JEEP WILL OVER FLOW ONCE FULL. NOW EVERY TIME THE FUEL NOZZLE IS CLICKED TO HOLD IN THE ON POSITION, FOR SOME REASON IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF IN TIME, NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I USE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MYSELF AS WELL BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. I WOULD THINK THAT JEEP WOULD ISSUE A FULL RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP WHICH I PURCHASED THE JEEP DID REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, AND OTHER COMPONENTS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 33,000

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK AND THE GAS NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK AFTER ABOUT A 2 SECOND DELAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH THE JEEP WRANGLER ON LOCAL GAS PUMPS THAT I USE FREQUENTLY TO FILL MY HONDA CIVIC WITHOUT INCIDENT.

Mileage: 40,000

STARTING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD, GASOLINE PUMPS NO LONGER SHUT OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING FILLED WITH GAS AND THE TANK BECOMES FULL. GAS CONTINUES TO PUMP, SPILLING FROM THE VEHICLE, AND THE PUMP HAS TO BE MANUALLY SHUT OFF. IT DIDN'T DO THIS WHEN NEW, NOR DID MY PRIOR WRANGLER (2000 MODEL OWNED FOR 5 YEARS).

WHILE REFUELING MY JEEP THE GAS SPIT OUT OF THE FILLER NOZZLE AFTER THE PUMP HAD CLICKED OFF SPILLING GAS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED IN AS MANY TIMES AS I HAVE PURCHASED GAS FOR THE JEEP.

Mileage: 56,151

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK WITH GAS, GAS WILL SPILL OUT OF FILL NECK WHEN TANK FILLS-UP.

Mileage: 26,000

WHEN FUELING MY JEEP THE AND AUTO SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP STOPS A FAIR AMOUNT OF FUEL COMES SPILLING OUT AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A DANGER AS THERE IS EXPOSED FUEL ON MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS IS A WASTE OF MY MONEY AND A RISK TO THE ENVIRONMENT AS THE SPILL IS ON THE CONCRETE. WHEN RAIN OR WASHED THIS FUEL WILL BE INTRODUCED INTO THE WATER SYSTEM. ALSO THE DANGER IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS RAW FUEL FLOWING DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE.

Mileage: 30,105

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK AND ON AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP,THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AND THEN GAS WILL ALMOST SHOOT OUT OF THE FILLING TUBE. THIS HAPPENS ON AT ANY GAS STATION AND LEAVES GAS ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ON THE GROUND. I NOW ONLY GET GAS WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CAN GUESS ON HOW MUCH GAS I NEED. AT FILL UP, I PUT THE PUMP TO AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF UNTIL I ESTIMATE I AM 2 GALLONS SHORT. I THEN FINISH OFF MANUALLY AT THE LOWEST FLOW RATE. THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE TO WORK.

Mileage: 35,000

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK A LARGE BACKSPLASH OF GAS COMES OUT AS TANK APPROACHES FULL. I TRIED ADJUSTING THE GAS HOSE NOZZLE BOTH IN AND OUT. SPLASHING OCCURS IN ALL CASES. GETS LESS THE FURTHER THE NOZZLE IS PULLED OUT. GAS COULD SPLASH ON PERSON STANDING CLOSE, MOSTLY RUNS DOWN SIDE OF JEEP AND ONTO AND OVER REAR BUMPER AND ONTO GROUND. SERVICE STATION ATTENDANTS HAVE COME OUT TO CHECK FOR ISSUE DUE TO AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLED. CAR HAD NO ISSUES WITH THIS FOR FIRST 3 YEARS. PROBLEM DEVELOPED SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING. ONLY FIX IS TO NOT COMPLETELY FILL TANK BUT YOU HAVE TO GUESS EACH TIME HOW CLOSE TO FULL THE TANK IS. GAS SPILLED OUT BETWEEN 1/10 AND 1/2 GAL EACH TIME -HARD TO MEASURE. *TR

Mileage: 52,319

WHILE FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, AFTER THE GAS PUMP HANDLE SHUTS OFF, A PORTION OF GAS WILL FLOW OUT OF THE FILL TUBE. DIFFERENT POSITIONS OF THE GAS PUMP INSERTED INTO FILL TUBE STILL RESULTS IN GAS POURING OUT THE FILL TUBE. GAS WILL STILL POUR OUT OF THE FILL TUBE EVEN AT A VERY SLOW FILL RATE. DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS WERE USED WITH THE SAME RESULT. THERE IS GREAT CONCERN ABOUT THE SPILLED FUEL CATCHING FIRE ON THE VEHICLE OR A PERSON WHO THIS HAPPENS TO UNEXPECTED.

Mileage: 25,240

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, GAS OVERFLOWS SPILLING FUEL ALL OVER VEHICLE, PUMP AND ANY PERSONS CLOSE BY. THIS HAPPENS JUST AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, AND HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP.

Mileage: 50,000

THE LAST THREE OR SO TIMES I'VE FILLED THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF ON THE PUMP DOES NOT ENGAGE UNTIL FUEL HAS OVERFLOWED THE TANK AND SPILLED ONTO THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHICH FUEL STATION I GO TO. EACH INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED AT A FUEL STATION WHERE I USED TO BE ABLE TO FILL MY TANK WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT AN INVESTIGATION IS ALREADY OPEN REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I WOULD THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER CONSIDERING THE PROXIMITY OF THE FUEL SPILL TO HOT BRAKE PADS AND OTHER POTENTIAL SOURCES OF IGNITION.

Mileage: 16,500

GAS WILL SPILL FROM THE FUEL INLET WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, REGARDLESS OF SPEED OF ADDITIONAL GAS OR CURRENT AMOUNT WITHIN GAS TANK. ENOUGH GAS IS SPILLED TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE SHOULD IT REACH AN IGNITION SOURCE.

Mileage: 46,000

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.

Mileage: 24,000

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.

Mileage: 65,723

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

Mileage: 21,000

GAS TANK OVERFLOWED VIOLENTLY WHEN THE GAS STATION AUTOMATIC PUMP SHUT OFF.

Mileage: 9,336

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

Mileage: 33,000

GAS SPILL ON FILL-UP. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME NOW WITH GAS RUNNING DOWN SIDE OF VEHICLE AND ON TO GROUND WHILE FILLING UP.

Mileage: 21,000

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.

Mileage: 39,000

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

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.

Mileage: 49,500

Mileage: 27,000

WHEN FILLING WITH FUEL, IT GUSHES OUT EVEN WHEN FILLING VERY SLOWLY.

Mileage: 50,000

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.

Mileage: 53,000

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THE FILLER TUBE WILL RELEASE APPROXIMATELY A LITER OF FUEL.

Mileage: 33,000

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE AND SETTING THE GAS PUMP TO AUTO SHUT-OFF, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACTIVATE THE AUTO SHUT-OFF RESULTING IN GASOLINE BLOWING OUT OF THE FUEL OPENING. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES SO FAR AND RESULTED IN GASOLINE SPILLING ONTO MY PANTS, SHOES, SIDE OF VEHICLE, BUMPER AND GROUND. THIS PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS TO PERSONS, DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND IS AN ENVIRNOMENTAL ISSUE.
