What owners say about the fuel system, gasoline
Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“The contact's girlfriend owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while refueling the vehicle, gasoline would spew out of the fuel filler neck. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN and that the vehicle was out of warranty. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the vehicle was out of warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.”
“I PURCHASED THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER USED WITH 77, 000 MILES ON IT. I NOW HAVE 84500. EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, ONCE A WEEK, IT OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE END SPILLING ON THE FENDER, DRIVER SIDE AND GROUND. I HAVE LEARNED NEVER TO STAND NEAR IT. SINCE GETTING SOAKED A FEW TIMES.”
“EVERYIME THIS VEHICLE IS FUELED FULL AT THE GAS PUMP, IT WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS RESULTS IN AN OVERFLOW OF GASOLINE, EVERYWHERE...ON MY HANDS, DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND PUDDLES ON THE GROUND. THERE IS NO WARNING AND THE ONLY WAY I AM ABLE TO FILL THE TANK IS BY TURNING THE ENGINE ON AND WATCHING THE MILEAGE INCREASE ON THE DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE) DISPLAY ON MY DASH.... WHICH IS NOT SAFE TO DO. IT OCCURS EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY JEEP. THERE IS NO RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE. IT'S BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED MY JEEP IN MARCH 2010.”
“THE VEHICLE QUITE FREQUENTLY AND UNPREDICTABLY SPITS / SPILLS FUEL FROM THE FUEL FILLER PORT WHEN RE-FUELING. THIS HAS RESULTED IN NUMEROUS SPILLS AT THE GAS STATION AND OCCASIONAL SPILLS ON THE OPERATOR. SOMETIMES IT SPILLS AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT.....UPDATED 08/20/15 *BF”
“WHEN REFUELING THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF THEN GAS OVER FLOWS. THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY NOW AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE AND FREQUENT OVER TIME. I CAN NOT DATE THE OTHER INCIDENTS AS I THOUGHT IT WAS A PUMP PROBLEM INTILL IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY ON A LONG ROAD TRIP AT 3 DIFFERENT STATIONS THAT I LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM TO FIND MANY OTHERS HAVE THE ISSUE. *TR”
“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”
