Fuel Spill During Refueling
ODI found the rate of warranty claims related to fuel spit back on the subject vehicles is lower than other vehicles previously recalled to correct defects related to fuel spit back.Although the rate of complaints reported to the agency on the subject vehicles is higher than or similar to the rates experienced in previous investigations where safety recalls were conducted, ODI suspects that the federal safety agency safety complaints submitted by subject vehicles owners may have been influenced by internet related publicity both before and during this investigation.A safety-related defect trend has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by the federal safety agency that no safety-related defect exists.The agency will monitor the issue and reserves the right to take future action if warranted by the circumstances.See attached report for additional information.In addition, Chrysler is initiating a lifetime warranty program, at no cost to the consumer, to address the fuel spit back problem in approximately 135,000 model year 2007-2008 Jeep Wrangler vehicles built from March 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008.Chrysler will notify all affected vehicle owners of this action.Consumers should refer to the warranty and service bulletins and sample owner notification letter available in the investigative file.The vehicle build date can be found on the certification label located on the driver door or door jamb.

What 2007 Jeep Wrangler 2-DR 4x4 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
During refueling, when tank is full fuel overflows out of the filler as the pump shuts off. Every time at every gas station. Very dangerous, gas on the side of jeep and on the ground.
While refilling the gas tank, as the gas pump shuts off it spills gas all over the floor. It almost spilled all overon me.
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.
The fuel tank overflows every time the tank is filled no matter what station or pump is used.
This vehicle spits fuel all over the operator when trying to pump fuel in.
When refueling, fuel spits back out of tank. Approximately 1-1.5 litres, every time when tank is filled. Usually comes out with enough force to cover my hands, pants, and shoes with gasoline. Very dangerous!
Gas overflows instead of stopping when full. This happens whenever filling tank. Dealer wanted 500.00 to replace entire tank as the answer when clearly the issue is with vent. Gas spills around vehicle.
Fuel spills out of fuel filler neck when filling tank completely. This happens every time I fill up my vehicle, spilling fuel on the side of the vehicle, bumper and ground.
When fueling the gas tank, the auto-shutoff valve at any service station will not shut off in time to prevent fuel splash out of the filler pipe and get on the person doing the fueling and pours down on the ground. This is not isolated to just a few service stations - it happens each and every time you fill this vehicle with gas.
