Problems with 2010 Jeep Wrangler FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

On average, the 2010 Jeep Wrangler starts to “feel” problems with the FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM and its various aspects after 50 816 miles.

Recently reported FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM problems on 2010 Jeep Wrangler

My gas tank overflows every time i fill it. it does not recognize when it is full and stops pumping. it makes the noise it if finished pumping and when i pull out the gas handle it overflows with gas down the side of my jeep. my vehicle was stationary when filling it every time.

Gas tank overflow on every fillup. on some pumps i can only pump 1/3 of a gallon at a time very slowly. it seems clear that the check valve is having some kind of issue as is a well known problem in these jeeps. the dealership will not take any responsibility for the problem and charges almost double what a new tank would cost to diagnose and replace the tank.

During re-fueling, when the gas tank is full, gas overflows out of the vehicle and spills everywhere. i was told the entire gas tank has to be replaced. my warranty is expired and there is no recall for my year jeep wrangler (2010). i saw that this is covered for jeep years 2006-2007 regardless of miles/warranty. this is a hazard that should be covered for any year jeep, not just those specific years.

Every time i fill up the gas tank, the tank overflows. the automatic shutoff on the pump doesn't stop and gas pours out. every time, every gas station. i can't fill up the tank completely because it will overflow. i have to estimate when it's close to full and stop it before it gets close.

Every time i full my gas tank in my jeep, it always spews gas out on me and the jeep. this is very hazardous and very hard to clean. it happens every single time at any gas pump. i have a child in the nicu that can't be around any fumes and its preventing me from seeing my daughter. i have heard chrysler will do nothing about the "issue".

Gasoline overflows out of the filler while adding fuel. this has happened at different gas stations from indiana to florida. fuel overflows no matter how fast or slow i fill the tank and if i allow the pump to auto shut off or i fill by hand. i have attached a photo of another jeep wrangler doing the same thing as mine.

Just about every time i fill up my 2010 jeep wrangler jk with gas, it spits gas back out of the fill up neck tube. when i get home and park it in the garage it fills the entire house up with gas odor. i am very concerned about our health as this could not be safe. just a side note, i am also concerned what this will do to my nice paint. i have researched this very good and have read several other cases identical to mine and it seems that this problem needs addressed.

Everytime i fill up with gas at the gas station , it overflows and gets gas all over my car as well as myself.

When exiting vehicle noticed a strong raw gas smell on drivers side. vehicle was then parked in garage overnight and upon entering the garage the next morning, the fumes were so strong that immediate ventilation was necessary. problem may coincide with when gas tank is filled to capacity. problem repeated for a few days and then did not reoccur until gas tank was refilled.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. while attempting to use the passenger side seat belt, the seat belt would not latch to secure the contact. the failure was intermittent. also, while driving at various speeds, the fuel cap warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing, but the details of the diagnosis could not be provided. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 48,000.

Gasoline shoots out upon full tank, pump nozzle on auto fill. start to remove nozzle and gas shoots out of filler tube. this has happened numerous times over last two years. gas gets on clothes and skin. i feel chrysler should correct this problem as there are numerous complaints regarding this issue.

Fuel tank regularly overflows every time i fill up. gas spills all over exterior of vehicle and the ground. *tr

I have had multiple incidences of splash back when filling the gas tank. *tr

While filling up the gas tank, fuel will overflow out onto the vehicle and onto the ground creating a fire hazard. this has started a few months ago and it is a continual problem. *tr

My 2010 jeep wrangler sport 2 door overfills the gas tank every time i fill up. the pump shuts off when the tank is full and then a surge of gasoline comes out of the filler neck and the side of the jeep, the ground and myself were soaked. today i tried to hold the handle, but once the tank filled out came the gas. i have tried other nozzles and the same thing has happened. this just started about a month ago. *js

While filling up the gas tank, fuel will overflow out onto the vehicle and onto the ground creating a fire hazard. *tr

When filling my gas tank gas sprays all over if i completely fill the tank. gas spills out of the fuel filler pipe and goes everywhere. this is dangerous! it is especially bad in cold weather.

Fuel pukes out of the filler nozzel while filling.

While refueling the vehicle the pump shut off when the tank was full. there was then a surge of gasoline that came out of the filler neck and soaked the side of the jeep and the ground. this has happened the last 3 times i have refueled. all 3 times were at different gas stations. *tr

The fuel tank always overflows when pumping gas. gas spills everywhere. *tr

At the end of attempting to fill our gas tank, fuel expelled from the tank back out onto my husband, the side of the car and the ground around the port. this experience has repeated itself at different gas stations and in different outdoor conditions (rainy, sunny, snow, etc.). we previously owned a 2008 jeep wrangler that demonstrated the same issue and a repair was made as that model year was within a previous recall range. before we purchase this vehicle (used) we checked the maintenance and repair records and knew this issue had not been identified. so, we were surprise to experience it. we were even more surprised to learn that chrysler is not going to assume the responsibility to repair this know defect issue for a later model (why hasn't this been fixed?) with little concern for personal or environmental safety for families when reported. all attempts to converse with chrysler representatives about this have resulted in a "it's your problem" attitude - no recall, no warranty and wrong model year - and absolutely pushing us to take it up with the dealer to get fixed. our dealer is an honest, hardworking business and we know it's not his issue . . . it's chrysler's. chrysler needs to make this right. this is my primary means of transportation. i drive three school-age children in this car. it was to be the car my soon-to-be licensed drivers were to have. *tr

My vehicle has leaks on the supply and return transmission cooler lines. as per nhsta # 10041077, dealer and chrysler claim that this recall doesn't apply to my vehicle vin. i have same issue as everybody else in the recall. oil leaking at the flex hose section of the line.

When fueling the vehicle, the pump shuts off and a backpressure sprays fuel out of the tank onto the person fueling. it happens at multiple gas stations and pumps. it also happens if the pump handle is set to shut off or if the person fueling is holding the handle. on most occasions the gas station is open and i am able to wash my hands. on some occasions when the gas station is closed, the fuel vapors from my hands have caused headaches while driving. i have had to decide to deal with it or drive with the windows down when it is 5 degrees outside. a little research shows, i am not the only one dealing with this issue. if it is such a well known issue, why is it not being corrected? *tr

Problem started about 5 months ago. at first i thought it was a station problem as my regular station underwent a huge makeover including new pump equipment. after trying many different stations in il and in and doing research on the net, i find it is a widespread problem. nothing helps the huge gush of gas that pours out of my jeep everytime i fill up!! . i've tried filling slow, filling manually (not automatic setting on pump nozzle), nothing works! i even had my husband fill it just to prove i wasn't a helpless female or dumb blonde. i don't know why it started happening. i bought the vehicle new so i know the complete vehicle history and service. after filling up yesterday and getting soaked with gasoline again, i had enough! time to complain and see what happens. this is really a serious issue and needs to be addressed. somebody is going to get seriously injured if this is not corrected. many times i see people around gas pumps smoking and now i not only have to watch what i'm doing, i need to make sure nobody around me is doing anything careless that could cause me harm! email was sent off to chrysler - waiting for response as well as info from my dealer. *tr

Gas will overflow at very fill up, especially when using the auto-fill lever latch on the pump handle. many times, the gas has sprayed and soaked the attendant filling my car (i live in nj and cannot fill the vehicle myself). the is an extreme safety hazard as many gallons have been spilled during single incidents. most releases are approximately a 1/10 of a gallon or less but once a month or so, it is very severe and will continue to spray gas until someone manually releases the lever. *js

The fuel shutoff for filling up the tank no longer works. if you fill up the vehicle, when the shutoff clicks fuel gushes out. when you remove the fuel nozzle, more fuel gushes out. i use the term gush because it is not a small amount but quite a bit of fuel. *tr

Gas gushes out at the end of each and every fill up. *tr

My 2010 jeep wrangler sport 2 door overfills the gas tank every time i fill up. the fuel spills out all over the back part of the vehicle as it shuts off only after fuel is spilling out. i have tried multiple gas filling service stations of differing brands, and all of them overfill. this jeep has an issue with the fuel sensor as i have checked on multiple jeep forums and they all do this. why isn't there a recall to have the sensor/fuel tank replaced? *tr

When i'm fueling my jeep at the gas station, the fuel system does not respond to the shut-off mechanism. as a result, gas spills out and runs down my car and on the ground. i also had the gas frequently spilling on my hands because of this issue. the problem started to occur intermittently back in november 2014. since december 2015, it is happening every time i'm fueling my jeep. this is extremely annoying. it also causes concerns from environmental standpoint. i also fear negative impact on my health due to this issue. background is that the problem results in unavoidable gas spilling on my hands. when i raised this issue with my jeep dealer, they indicated that they allegedly never heard of this issue, that they "couldn't find any problems" and that there is "nothing wrong" with the fuel system of my wrangler. i feel that i'm not taken seriously by my jeep dealer. i learned today that the fuel system issue is a known problem that many other wrangler owners are struggling with, so i decided to report it to the nhtsa.

Fuel overflows every time i fill up. if i fill the tank to the auto shutoff point a fair amount of fuel spits out and down the side of the vehicle. this is a potential fire hazard, and not very good for the environment. so now i only put three fourths in so i don't have it pouring out and onto my jeep

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. while refueling the vehicle, fuel spewed back out of the fuel tank and occasionally splashed onto the contact. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 40,000.

In 2012 my vehicle encountered a problem with the fuel tank assembly that resulted in gasoline spitting out of the filler tube while i was filling it up at the gas station. the dealership repaired it under warranty on december 3, 2012. on september 20, 2014; the exact same failure occurred again. almost 5 gallons of gasoline spilled out before i could shut the pump off which resulted in my cloths being saturated with fuel and a hazmat spill that caused the gas station to shut down until it was taken care of. this is causing both a hazardous spill in the environment and a safety issue for all persons surrounding the area. i contacted my local jeep dealer and they stated that the vehicle is no longer under warranty and that it would cost me $1,400 to repair the issue. i have contacted jeep customer service and they stated that there is no safety recall or technical bulletin in place. *tr

I'm owned the jeep for about a month. i've filled the tank 4 times and twice the fuel tank has overflowed. it sounds very similar to what i'm seeing was recalled earlier. *tr

I purchased the vehicle in september of 2014 for my 16 year old daughter. every time we attempt to fill up the fuel tank, the pump doesn't cut off and gas spews all down the jeep and whoever is pumping the fuel. i did some internet research and found it was a common problem with the jeep and had hoped the vehicle would have been recalled by now to fix. i took it to the dealer and was told the gas tank has to be replaced to fix the problem at a cost of $1,300 and that the tanks were on backorder. since i don't think it is safe for my daughter to pump the gas, i will continue to do it for her but i think given the amount of complaints and the safety issues, a recall is imminent. *tr

When filling up my gas tank with fuel on my 2010 jeep wrangler unlimited, the tank has overflowed. the tank cuts off at 17.5 gallons and upon cutting up it spews fuel from the top of the tank. this has cause fuel to spill onto me and all over the side of the vehicle staining the gas cap and side fenders. there is also great risk to the paint on the vehicle with continued fuel exposure. there is great safety concern for gas spilling out at a gas station. this could lead to fire or gas spilling on my small children if they were to be standing with me. *tr

Fuel spills out when filling tank. no meter to stop the overflow of fuel spilling out once the tank is full. vehicle has not been diagnosed or looked at for this issue. this issue has been ongoing since i purchased the vehicle used in 2014.

Gasoline will shoot out of the filler tube when filling the vehicle with gas while manually pumping or using the auto shut-off of the pump handle. it occurs on almost every fill-up.

I purchased a used 2010 wrangler from a chrysler dealer on 6/18/2013 with 19,xxx miles and after about a month of driving, the gas overflows at the pump every single time i try to fill the tank. at first, i set the pump to automatically shut off and upon doing so, the gas continues to come out after the shut off and it spews out onto the paint, the ground and my shoes - everywhere. i have tried filling up at different stations and at different pumps but the problem continues. i'm left no other choice than to not fill up for fear of a potential fire hazard and of spills costing me money on wasted (expensive) gas. i've noticed this is an ongoing issue with multiple complants and i am wondering what it's going to take for there to be a proper recall on this dangerous manufacturing error? *tt

When fueling up the gas tank the filler tube valve will not stop fuel from overflowing and spilling all over the place. occurs every time when filling up. *tr

While filling up my gas tank, it got to full then seemed to regurgitate gas. spilling down the side of my jeep, onto me, and on the ground near the pump. this concerns me because of the risk of fire and explosion. the gas is harmful to skin and it spilled all over me. i just purchased this jeep. this should not happen. *tr

Every time i go to pump gas to fill the tank up completely, the pump does sense to shut off but gas comes spewing out and down the side of the jeep. it is very irritating to not be able to fill it entirely, especially since the jeep drinks gas pretty fast. nothing i can do will stop it from running over, other than just not filling it 100%, which shouldn't even be an issue to begin with. i would really like for this to be addressed. *js

Every time i fill up my tank the fuel overfills and spills on the jeep. i have been to numerous gas stations with the same results. *tr

Every time i fill my gas tank, it overfills. the first time i thought it was the gas pump but it has done it consistently for the last 2 months. i have filled up at different stations and every single time it sprays out all over the body/rear bumper. *tr

The gas will overflow, spill out, when i fill up the gas tank. the nozzle shuts off and gas spills out after shut off. i took the vehicle to the dealer, they diagnosed a bad valve in the tank which would require the tank to be removed/replaced. *tr

I own a 2010 jeep wrangler. when i fill up with gas the automatic shut off fails and has sprays out of the filler point. this has happened multiple multiple times. i do not "top off" the fuel. it sprays with force shooting out gas everywhere creating a safety and environmental hazard.

When filling up with fuel, fuel spills out filler neck when it's just about full. does it all the time. *tr

I purchased my 2010 wrangler new. the last three times i have filled my fuel tank, gas has spewed out of the tank immediately after the nozzle clicked off. it seems to be coming from a build-up of pressure inside of the gas tank because the gas comes back out of the tank forcefully even if the nozzle is still in the tank. the first time this happened to me i had to go home to change clothes and to wash the gasoline off of my legs. i thought it was something i had done wrong. i have since filled up two more times and i have used different pumps at different gas stations with the same result. this happened again today (01/21/14), and the station attendant rushed out to clean up the fuel that was spilled because there was so much on the ground and again, i had gas spewed on me. i feel this is a very dangerous situation and should be addressed in some way by chrysler. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. the contact was refueling the vehicle when spilled out of the fuel tank. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection however, the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vin was unavailable. the approximate failure mileage was 16,000.

When refueling, when the fuel filler nozzle clicks off, there is a gush of fuel that spouts out of the fuel tank filler neck for a second or two. it has now become consistent, regardless of when or where the vehicle is refueled (at 6000' or 3000', on 75 degree days or 30). this problem did not occur before this past summer, and was intermittent until about this october. it now occurs anytime the filler is allowed to click off. it behaves as if the fuel tank is not venting as fuel is delivered. when the delivery is cut off, the pressure in the tank, increased through introduction of fuel without an equivalent reduction in volume of air, expels the fuel remaining in the filler neck until equalized. this is speculation on my part but plausibly describes the observed behavior. *tr

Every time i fill the fuel tank up it overflows. does not matter if i manually fill or use the auto fill. this has happened the last 4 times i put gas in the fuel tank. *tr
