2009 Jeep Wrangler fuel system, gasoline problems

“FUEL SPURTS OUT OF GAS TANK ALL OVER AFTER GAS NOZZLE IS REMOVED WHEN GETTING GAS. VEHICLE HAS TROUBLE STARTING AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT AT ALL SPEEDS. *TR”

“IT STARTED MORE THAN A YEAR AGO. EVERYTIME I FILL MY TANK IT OVERFLOWS GAS EVERYWHERE. IT DOES NOT STOP AUTOMATICALLY LIKE IT SHOULD. GAS FLOWS ALL OVER THE GROUND AND NOT JUST A LITTLE BIT. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2008 JEEPS BUT I FEEL IT HAS AFFECTED 2009 JEEPS AND NEWER. I READ ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON JEEP FORUMS ALL THE TIME. MY DEALER SAID THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. *TR”

“I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLER YEARS 2007, 08 AND 09 WHERE UPON FILLING UP THE TANK AND ONCE IT REACHES THE TOP, INSTEAD OF THE PUMP CLICKING OFF, FUEL (A LOT OF IT) SPITS OUT OF THE TANK AND ALL OVER THE BUMPER AND THE GROUND. TO CHRYSLER'S CREDIT, IF YOU COMPLAIN, THEY WILL REIMBURSE YOU FOR THE REPAIRS BUT IT IS TEDIOUS AND OFTEN TIMES, PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD THE MONEY UP FRONT SO CHRYSLER WINS BY ATTRITION ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY WEREN'T FORCED TO HAVE A RECALL. I UNDERSTAND THAT NHTSA HAS CLOSED THIS ISSUE BUT IT IS BAD. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE FUEL POURING OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE AND ONTO YOUR SHOES, CAR AND THE GROUND, EVERY TIME YOU FILLED UP? MY NEXT STEP IS TO REPORT IT TO THE EPA FOR CERTAINLY, FUEL SPILLS OF THIS MAGNITUDE CANNOT BE LEGAL. IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, CAN YOU RE-ADDRESS THIS FOR THE INEVITABILITY IS THAT A 'PERFECT STORM' SCENARIO WILL OCCUR AND WHILE FUEL SPEWING PROBLEM IS HAPPENING, STATIC ELECTRICITY FROM THE CONSUMER COULD IGNITE IT OR EVEN SOME CARELESS AND UNSAFE SMOKER IS TOO CLOSE.

“EVERY TIME I FILL MY JEEP UP, IT WILL OVERFILL AND SPILL OUT OF THE HOSE AND ONTO THE FENDER. I CAN STOP FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS BEFORE IT GETS FULL AND ADD GAS SLOWLY AND IT WILL STOP. I WIPE IT OFF EVERY TIME BUT IT STILL LEAVES RESIDUE ON THE FENDER AND SIDE OF MY JEEP. IT ALSO LEAVES A SMALL PUDDLE IN THE GROUND. THIS IS A VERY BAD ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR”

“VEHICLE WILL SPIT BACK FUEL WHEN PERFORMING A FILL UP (AT TIME OF FILLING.). THE FUEL FORCEFULLY SHOOTS OUT OF THE REFUILING ACCESS POINT. AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT SPITS BACK IS CONDIDERABLE (THE BETTER OF A PINT;) ENOUGH TO COVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE REAR BUMPER (AS WELL AS ON MYSELF) AND WILL LEAVE A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF FUEL ON THE PAVEMENT AT THE GAS STATION. I WILL POINT OUT THAT I NEVER TOP OFF THE TANK. I SIMPLY FILL UNTIL THE FUEL NOZZLE STOPS - A NORMAL WAY OF FUELING. THE "SPIT BACK" OCCURS WITHIN 1-2 SECONDS AFTER FUEILING IS COMPLETED. I HAVE CHECKED WITH CHRYSLER, AND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. IN FACT, A TSB (14-001-11) AS WELL AS A WARRANTY EXTENSION WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE THE EXTENSION WAS ONLY ISSUED FOR 2007 AND 2008 MODELS. MY MODEL (2009) IS THE SAME VEHICLE, HOWEVER, I AM NOT BEING AFFORDED (BY CHRYSLER) THE SAME CONSIDERATION SIMPLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY MODEL YEAR EXCEEDS 2008. I VIEW THIS AS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE FACT THAT I AT MANY TIMES, I HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICL WHEN I NEED TO FUEL UP. I TRULY FEEL THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RECTIFIED FOR THE 2009 MODEL YEAR, AND FURTHER BELIEVE THAT I…”

“WHEN PUTTING GAS IN THE TANK, GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AND SPLASHES GAS ON ME, THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS OCCURS EVERYTIME I FILL THE TANK. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES THIS HAPPENED, GASOLINE HAD SPRAYED OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AND ONTO ME AND MY CLOTHES. NOW WHEN I FILL THE TANK, I MUST STAND UPWIND AND AWAY FROM THE FILLER TUBE TO AVOID GETTING SPRAYED WITH GAS. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! THE SAME DEFECT WAS REPORTED IN THE 2007 & 2008 JEEPS. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE SAME DEFECT IS NOW BEING REPORTED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE 2009 MODEL. GASOLINE THAT IS SPRAYED ONTO PEOPLE AND THE GROUND IS A FIRE HAZARD! I REFUSE TO LET MY WIFE AND KIDS PUT GAS IN THE JEEP, IN FEAR THAT THEY WILL BE SOAKED IN GASOLINE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT NO RECALL AND NO SAFETY BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THE 2009 MODEL. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR”
