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 2008 Jeep Wrangler 2-DR 4x4 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Tipm module is activating the wipers and headlights. Is not allowing turn signals to work after disconnecting battery. Dash lights blink, odometer will blank out for a second at times.
Gasoline overflows from the tank during refueling and does not shut-off. This has occurred several times at several different gas stations and pumps over several years. The gas just gushes out when the automatic shut off kicks in on the pump and creates a large spill and all over jeep and tires. This is now occurring almost every fill up and occurred yesterday and appears others are having the same issue.
Tank overflows with fuel everytime I fill it up with fuel causing a safety issue.
The vehicle spills fuel every time it is filled at the gas pump. This happens every time it is filled regardless of the gas station or outside temperature. This has happened since I purchased the vehicle in 2012.
Spills gas out when filling up.
An unsafe condition is created upon completion of refueling. After pump cut-off fuel spillage occurs on every refueling operation. This condition is unaffected by changing speed at which refueling is performed. This is not due to "topping off," regardless of pump speed, on first pump cut-off spillage occurs. This constitutes wasted money and creates a personal safety hazard as well as an environmental hazard. This has happened on every fill-up for the last several months, most recently today, 29 november 2015.
I purchased this vehicle a month ago and every time I fill it up fuel spills rapidly from the filler neck. I understand this is a common problem and I would like to get it fixed.
When filling the fuel tank gas always comes spilling out of the filler hole. It does not matter if you are holding the pump handle with your hand or letting the pump shut off automatically. There seems to be some strange bubble effect and the gasoline burps back out of the filler hole and sprays all over the ground, the side of the vehicle and anyone standing close to the vehicle while it's being fueled. I filed a complaint three months ago and received no response. This is a very serious issue.. Could result in fire, loss of property or death.
When ever I fill up with gas, fuel spits back out at me.
