I ORIGINALLY TOOK MY JEEP IN TO THE DEALER SHIP BECAUSE EVERY TIME I WOULD FILL UP THE GAS WOULD OVERFLOW. THEY SAID THAT THEY REPLACED HE FILLER NECK BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT. NOW IT TAKES 30 MINUTES TO FILL UP THE TANK FROM 1/4 TANK BECAUSE THE GAS PUMP WILL CLICK OFF EVERY 2 SECONDS.

I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND WHILE REFUELING MY JEEP THE PUMP WOULDN'T SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN UNTIL A PINT TO QUART OF FUEL SPILLED OUT OF THE INLET. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I PUT FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. NOW I LISTEN TO THE INLET TO HEAR IT COMING TO THE TOP AND WHEN IT'S ALMOST FULL I STOP THE FLOW, BUT I STILL END UP COVERED IN FUEL WHICH BURNS THE SKIN AND IS HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. I AM ON AN ARMY BASE SO SECONDARY CONTAINMENT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP I HAVE TO PUT A MAT UNDER MY FUEL INLET. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, PUMP DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AND GAS SPILLS OUT. I HAVE TO TRY AND LISTEN FOR THE FUEL TO COME UP THE FILL PIPE BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO GAUGE AND HEAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS WELL AS COSTLY. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE HAD/HEARD OF THAT HAS THIS ISSUE. I KNOW OTHER JEEP JK OWNERS WHO ALSO EXPERIENCE THIS. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK AS THE TANK REACHES IT'S FULL POINT THE FUEL WILL SPEW OUT, SPILLING FUEL OVER MY HAND AND DOWN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT FROM OVER FUELING; IT WILL HAPPEN WHETHER I USE THE LATCH ON THE GAS PUMP HANDLE OR NOT. IT BEGAN HAPPENING RANDOMLY BUT AS TIME PASSES IT HAPPENS WITH NEARLY EVERY REFUELING. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED (WHILE UNDER WARRANTY) AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THUS SENT ME ON MY WAY. IT HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN SINCE, GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. *TR

THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO FILL UP ON STANDARD AUTO SHUTOFF PUMPS. THE FUEL WILL RUSH OUT IN A SUDDEN BACKSPLASH. THE SITUATION CREATES THE HIGHEST RISK FOR FIRE AND CONFLAGRATION. THE 08 AND LATER WRANGLERS HAVE A RECALL, BUT THE 07 DOES NOT. THE 07 IS THE SAME BODY STYLE AS THE 08 AND LATER. NHTSA HAS CLAIMED THAT MEDIA SENSATIONALISM HAS HYPED PUBLIC OPINION ON THE MATTER. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF DEATH AND FIRE EVERY TIME I FILL UP AT THE PUMP BECAUSE NHTSA REFUSES TO FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THE ISSUE. NHTSA NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. *TR

I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT JEEP OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND ITS DUE TO A FAULTY ESIM SWITCH OR SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WHOLE GAS TANK ON JEEPS. *TR

JEEP WRANGLER JK SPILLS FUEL OUT THE FILLER NECK DURING REFUELING. THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY BACK FLOW PREVENTER IN THE GAS TANK. CHRYSLER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED A PROBLEM AND OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANKS OF VEHICLES BUILT DURING SPECIFIED BUILD DATES. HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT COVER ALL THE VEHICLES AFFECTED WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO TAKE ANY ACTION. EVERY FILL UP CREATES A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SPILLS HAZARDOUS MATERIAL INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS OUT IN TRAFFIC, DESPITE BATTERY BEING FULLY CHARGED. WITH A RESTART, THE BATTERY SYMBOL REMAINS ILLUMINATED, AND EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT AGAIN. OCCURRED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC CREATING TRAFFIC HAZARD. REMAINS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT IS ONLY REMEDIED BY COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF ENGINE AND WAITING SEVERAL MINUTES, THEN RESTARTING IT AND CHECKING TO CONFIRM THAT THE BATTERY SYMBOL IS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. SOMETIMES A BATTERY JUMP-START IS REQUIRED. ONE DANGEROUS ALTERNATIVE IS TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION WHILE VEHICLE IS ROLLING, RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, BUT OBVIOUS HAZARDS OF LOCKED STEERING WHEEL, LOSS OF CONTROL AND POSSIBLE CRASHES WOULD RESULT.
