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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler. the contact went to the dealer to have the repair performed for recall # 06v493000 (service brakes, hydraulic:anti-lock:control unit/module ). the dealer stated that they could not perform the recall repair, but failed to offer an explanation. the current and failure mileages were 3,100. the consumer complained of the check engine light illuminating. the dealer replaced the fuel tank and purged the control valve. the check engine light illuminated again and they replaced the fuel canister which was leaking. the third time, the dealer replaced the fuel filler neck and tube. updated 05/11/10.*jb
