GASOLINE OVERFLOWS FROM THE TANK DURING REFUELING AND DOES NOT SHUT-OFF. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND PUMPS OVER SEVERAL YEARS. THE GAS JUST GUSHES OUT WHEN THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF KICKS IN ON THE PUMP AND CREATES A LARGE SPILL AND ALL OVER JEEP AND TIRES. THIS IS NOW OCCURRING ALMOST EVERY FILL UP AND OCCURRED YESTERDAY AND APPEARS OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

AN UNSAFE CONDITION IS CREATED UPON COMPLETION OF REFUELING. AFTER PUMP CUT-OFF FUEL SPILLAGE OCCURS ON EVERY REFUELING OPERATION. THIS CONDITION IS UNAFFECTED BY CHANGING SPEED AT WHICH REFUELING IS PERFORMED. THIS IS NOT DUE TO "TOPPING OFF," REGARDLESS OF PUMP SPEED, ON FIRST PUMP CUT-OFF SPILLAGE OCCURS. THIS CONSTITUTES WASTED MONEY AND CREATES A PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON EVERY FILL-UP FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, MOST RECENTLY TODAY, 29 NOVEMBER 2015.

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK GAS ALWAYS COMES SPILLING OUT OF THE FILLER HOLE. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU ARE HOLDING THE PUMP HANDLE WITH YOUR HAND OR LETTING THE PUMP SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME STRANGE BUBBLE EFFECT AND THE GASOLINE BURPS BACK OUT OF THE FILLER HOLE AND SPRAYS ALL OVER THE GROUND, THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ANYONE STANDING CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE WHILE IT'S BEING FUELED. I FILED A COMPLAINT THREE MONTHS AGO AND RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE.. COULD RESULT IN FIRE, LOSS OF PROPERTY OR DEATH. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS JEEP SINCE EARLY MAY OF 2013. WHENEVER I GO TO THE GAS STATION AND FILL THE TANK GAS ALWAYS OVERFLOWS FROM THE FILLING NECK. WHEN PUMPING GAS WHEN THE TANK REACHES FULL THERE IS A BUBBLE EFFECT AND YOU CAN EFFECTIVELY HEAR THE FILLER NECK BURP THEN IT SPEWS FUEL ALL OVER THE GROUND, SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ANYONE STANDING CLOSE TO THE FUEL DOOR. *TR

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS, SPILLING ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE, CLOTHING, FEET, SHOES, HAND/ARM, ETC. THIS OCCURS EVER TIME I GO TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK, REGARDLESS OF THE GAS STATION OR PUMP THAT I USE. THESE INCIDENTS ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE OF A HASSLE BECAUSE I CAN'T GO INTO WORK COVERED IN GASOLINE THEREFORE I'M FORCED TO BE LATE TO MY JOB BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO HOME AND WASH THE GASOLINE OFF AND CHANGE CLOTHES. *TR

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 10/29/2011. AT FIRST FUEL FILL UP AND EVERY SUBSEQUENT FUEL FILL UP, THE FUEL BACK SPLASHES AND OVERFLOWS ON TO THE CAR. APPARENTLY, THE DESIGN OF THE FUEL TANK DOES NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO SHUT OFF BEFORE IT OVERFLOWS RESULTING IN FUEL SPILLAGE ON THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND WITH EACH FILL UP. *TR

STARTING MONTHS AGO WHENVER I FILL MY TANK AT THE GAS STATION, FUEL OVERFILLS WHEN FULL. IT HAPPENS AT EVERY STATION NOW EVERYTIME. I CAN PUT THE FILL LEVER AT A LOWER FILL RATE AND IT STILL HAPPENS. I HAVE THE FILL NOZZLE IN ALL THE WAY OR OUT HALF WAY OR IN BETWEEN AND IT DOES NOT MATTER. IT LEAKS OUT ABOUT 6 - 12 OZ DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE GAS EVERYTIME. *TR

GAS OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS OUT OF GAS TANK EVERYTIME I FUEL UP. SAW NO RECALL BUT JUST STARTED READING OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A TSB ON IT I READ BUT ONLY FOR ONES BUILT BETWEEN MARCH 2007 AND MARCH 2008 BUT MINE WAS ON APRIL 2008. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. IT IS NOT SAFE. THANK YOU *TR

I CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE THE CORRECT DATE OF THE FIRST OCCURANCE, BUT SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THIS JEEP I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP MORE THAN 10 TIMES FOR A WATER LEAK ( THE MAJOR ISSUE ). THEN RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT IT I WAS COMING OFF OF THE BAY BRIDGE IN MARYLAND, AND THE STREERING STRUT BROKE CAUSING DIFFICULTY STEERING. THE PRESSURE PLATE IN THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD, THE GAS TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED, MY SEAT BROKE TWICE, THE BOOT AROUND THE GEAR SHIFT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. IT WAS JUST IN THE SHOP ON FRIDAY TO HAVE THE WATER LEAK IN THE DOOR AND ROOF REPAIRED AGAIN. I TRIED TO FILE FOR THE LEMON LAW WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED AND THEY TOLD ME MY VEHICLE DID NOT QUALIFY. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH CHRYSLER TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF ALL I HAVE BEEN THROUGH AND THEY GET ME AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER ( BIG DEAL ) THEY ACT LIKE THEY COULD CARE LESS. I WAS TOLD BY THE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT HE HAD GONE TO A MEETING THE OTHER DAY AND THAT CHRYSLER HAD "BIG PROBLEMS", APPARENTLY THEY HAVE DISCOVERED THE WINDSHIELDS ARE OFF BY 1/8 OF AN INCH CAUSING ALL THESE VEHICLES TO LEAK! SHOULDNT THAT BE A RECALL. I HAVE LOST MORE TIME FROM WORK AND MORE HEADACHES WITHOUT A CAR THAN ENOUGH. THEY SHOULD BUY THIS VEHICLE BACK FROM ME AT THE PRICE I SCREWED BUYING IT! *TR

ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 JEEP WRANGLER FROM MY LOCAL DEALER. IT HAS HAD MODEST USE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 18,500 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE, EXCEPT A MONTH AGO I STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS SHOOTING OUT OF THE TANK NEAR THE END OF FILLING UP. I COULD AVOID THE PROBLEM ONLY IF I SHUT OFF THE GAS AS IT NEARED THE TOP (BEFORE THE POINT WHEN IT IS SHUT OFF BY THE NOZZLE??S OWN MECHANISM). HOWEVER IF I FILLED THE TANK ON THE JEEP AS I DO ON OUR OTHER CAR (AND AS I DID ON THE JEEP PRIOR TO LAST MONTH), THE GAS WOULD SHOOT OUT OF THE TANK, SPILLING ON THE SIDE AND ON MY FINGERS, AND ON ONE OCCASION, ON MY PANT LEG. I CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM OF GAS SPILLING OUTSIDE THE CAR A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHICH NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED. I HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL OR SERVICE ACTION NOTICES FROM THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. SO I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD ISSUED A RECALL FOR 2007 AND 2008 WRANGLERS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN MARCH 2007-MARCH 2008. I CHECKED MY VEHICLE AND DETERMINED IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN MAY 2008. HOWEVER THE PROBLEM WAS THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM COMPLAINED ABOUT AND WHICH WAS THE SUBJECT OF THE RECALL. I THEREFORE CONTACTED MY DEALER AND WAS EVENTUALLY ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AS AN EMISSION PROBLEM COVERED BY A LIFETIME WARRANTY. I WOULD CERTAINLY THINK IT ADVISABLE FOR THE MANUFACTURER BE REQUIRED TO NOTIFY ITS OWNERS OF THIS PROBLEM AND/OR ISSUE A RECALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. PLEASE NOTE THAT ISSUES RELATING TO VEHICLE DEFECTS AND RECALLS IS NOT PART OF MY PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE AND I HAVE NO INTEREST IN THIS MATTER OTHER THAN BEING A SINGLE JEEP OWNER. *TR

WHEN FILLING WITH GAS, BEFORE THE TANK APPROACHES FULL, GASOLINE SPEWS OUT AROUND THE FILLER NOZZLE ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. NOW THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS STARTED, IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND IT WAS FINE UNTIL RECENTLY. CHRYSLER HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR JEEPS WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR JEEPS MADE BETWEEN MARCH 2007 AND MARCH 2008. MY JEEP WAS MADE IN MAY OF 2008 SO IT IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE READ ON THE NET THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE HAVE HAD THE GAS TANK REPLACED AND IT HAS SOLVED THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. *TR
