“The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while refueling the vehicle, fuel spilled down the side of the vehicle. The contact stated that he was an independent mechanic that diagnosed a faulty fuel check valve in the filler neck.

The contact related the failure to NHTSA ID Number: 10037960 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no assistance was offered. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.”

THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 144,000.”

“PROBLEM IS GAS SPILLING FROM MY JEEP EVERY TIME DURING FUELING. SOMEHOW, IT IS NOT TRIGGERING THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF VALVE CAUSING FUEL GASHING EVERYWHERE. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND IT ONLY STARTED LAST MONTH. I DID NOT ALTER ANYTHING ON MY VEHICLE AND NO ACCIDENTS OF ANY TYPE. I'M NOT SURE WHERE THE PROBLEM IS BUT WHAT I KNOW IS THAT THIS FAILURE COULD BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM IF NOT RESOLVED. *TR”

“I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER AND FOUND THAT IT HAS A FUEL BACK FLOW ISSUE. EVERY TIME I REFUEL, THE GASOLINE BLOWS BACK OUT UPON REMOVAL OF THE GAS NOZZLE. GASOLINE GETS ON THE GROUND, ON ME, AS WELL AS THE PAINT AND BUMPER OF THE VEHICLE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY PROBLEM, LET ALONE AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. WHEN INQUIRING INTO THE FIX I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE GAS TANK ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT QUITE A HIGH COST. (OF COURSE MY JEEP IS OUT OF WARRANTY.) DUE TO THE POTENTIAL LIABILITY I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF THERE'S NOT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IMPENDING. *TR”

“BACK IN 2011, MY JEEP STARTED SPITTING GAS WHEN FILLING IT UP. AFTER THE GAS PUMP AUTO FILL STOPPED PUMPING GAS, IT SPIT FUEL BACK OUT AT ME. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING WITH JEEP DEALERS FREQUENTLY THINKING THAT A CHRYSLER RECALL WOULD COME OUT. THE LATEST TIME WAS THIS WEEK AND NO RECALL. I DECIDED TO SEARCH THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS SITE AND DECIDED TO REPORT THE FAULTY GAS TANK. *TR”
