Fuel overflows when filling at the gas station. Pump appears not to automatically shut off in time as the tank approaches the full mark and gas overflows from the filler tube. This is a recent problem.
Gas tank overflows - at 13,500 my fuel tank began overflowing badly at every fillup. I know this is an extremely common problem on 2007+ jeep wrangler jks. Many times the fuel ends up on the pants and shoes of the person filling up the tank. Chrysler needs to make this an official recall before someone gets hurt.
I own a 2008 jeep wrangler rubicon 2 dr. When filling the gas tank the gas will gush out when it's full and the pump shuts off. I have been splashed with gas as well as gas flows out on onto the ground.
I have a 2008 jeep wrangler sahara. Starting in november 2010, every time I fill my tank up completely the gas pump shuts off at full and then gas pours out of the fill neck. It overflows down the side of the jeep and onto the gas station floor. It has happened 4 times in a row and at different gas stations.
I have a 2008 jeep wrangler x and during refueling, often times it begins to overflow before the pump will shut off. I had to stop trying to actually fill up, it would do this without even trying to top off the tank. It would not click off like it had with other cars I have owned.
My 2008 jeep wrangler x's gas tank overflows upon the last bit of filling the tank. It started at about 20,000 mi. The gas pump shuts off, and then wait a few seconds to hear it coming up the throat of the tank and it spills a good amount of gas everywhere, not just a few drops. There were no particular events leading up to the failure, and it occurs 9/10 times that I get gas. It does not matter which gas station I go to, or what pump is being used. Chrysler told me when I brought the jeep into the jeep service department that "they have no solution for the problem".
The last 5 or 6 times I filled up on gas, the gas overflowed and spilled onto the side of the wrangler and onto the ground. Have make an appointment with the dealer I bought it from to look at it and try to determine what the problem and solution is.
Gas tank overflows when being filled. This is a scary situation when others at the station might be smoking, using a cell phone, etc. This happens most every time you fill the tank. I now try to guess and keep the tank at 3/4's.
I have a 2008 jeep wrangler jk that spills about 1/2 gallon of gas on me, the side of the vehicle and the ground when it is filled with gas. The dealer tells me it is a defective roll over valve in the gas tank and that I have to replace the gas tank. I have been told you have started an investigation into this #pe10032. I would like to add another complaint to this. Thank you
Fuel spill while refueling. After nozzle automatically clicks off, fuel is sometimes ejected back out from the filler neck. Fuel is spilled on the vehicle, the ground, and in some cases the person refueling. Problem occurs about 75% of trips to the gas station. Updated 02/07/11
I own a 2008 jeep wrangler jk and for about a month when I fillup at the gas station it overflows about a half of quart of gas onto the ground. I have brought the jeep to storm's motors in southampton ny where I purchased same and agreed to replace tank. I have to pay the $100 deductible. I feel this should be a safety recall and not just a warranty issue.
I have a 2008 jeep wrangler, 2 door. At around 30,000 miles, I started to experience gas overflow when filling up. When the pump is left to automatically shut off, it will and then gas will flow out of the fill up tube. It has been anywhere from shooting out to just running down the side of the jeep. I would guess at least a cup of gas. This happens at various fuel pumps and different stations. I contacted the dealer and they said they have never heard of such a thing and maybe it was the pump. I told them it had happened at several different pumps, but they would do nothing. I now have to guess when the tank is about filled and go the lowest flow setting on the pump handle. If I get this right, I don't get gas on me or all over the side of my jeep. Never had this problem when it was new and I think this is a safety hazard that should be fixed.
Fuel always spills from filler when allowing pump to automatically turn off.
Every few times I fill my gas tank, it overflows. This causes the gas to splash back at me, spill on the car, and pool on the floor. This problem began when I had about 30,000 miles on my vehicle. It is progressively getting worse and now occurs more frequently. To remedy this problem, I have not been topping off my tank.
I own a 2008 jeep wrangler where fuel spills out of the filler port during the refueling process. This condition occurs when the fuel tank is filled to the full or nearly full level and the gas pump automatically shuts or clicks off. This occurs every time I fill up with gas, and every time it happens, a significant amount of gasoline is splashed all over the driver side rear corner of the vehicle, the ground, and sometimes the person filling the tank. It first happened roughly 600 miles after the bumper to bumper warranty expired, so the dealership currently will not cover the repair.
Gas spillage when filling gas tank on 2008 jeep wrangler 2 door sahara.
When fueling my 2008 jeep wrangler (jk), and allowing the fuel pump to automatically turn off when the gas tank reaches the full level, fuel will often overflow out of the fill port. My assumption is that the pump is not turned off soon enough, leading to an overflow situation.
Fuel spills out of the filler port during the refueling process. This has happened more frequently when the jeep is running on empty and I fill it up completely. I have a 2008 jeep wrangler jk 2dr sport 4x4.
I have a 2008 jeep wrangler x, while filling this vehicle up with gas upon full or near full when the pump nozzle clicks off fuel spills out of the fill port splashing on the car myself and the ground.
2008 jeep wrangler x. Gas overflow. Purchased the vehicle in march 2010. So this problem could have been happening for the first 36,000 miles prior to our purchase.
Every time I fill up my 2008 jeep wrangler rubicon, the gas tank overflows. Doesn't matter if I am holding the nozzle and listening for the tank to fill, it still overflows. This has been happening consistently for the last six months.
I have a 2008 jeep wrangler. Each time I refuel the gas tank it spews gasoline on me as well as the vehicle and the ground. This is a fairly large amount and must be a fire safety as well as a health hazard from direct skin contact. I purchased this vehicle from the dealership used and under warranty approximately 8 months ago. This problem started about 2 1/2 months ago after warranty expired. I am taking vehicle back to dealership along with a printout of the complaints already voiced of the same nature since this appears to be a ongoing problem with these vehicles.
When refueling, my 2008 jeep wrangler does not stop the gas flow before the tank is full. About 20-30 ounces of gasoline usually bubbles out of the gas inlet after the pump stops, leaving a puddle of gas on the ground every time. Currently the problem has not been resolved.
I have a 2008 jeep wrangler and every time I go to fill up my gas tank, the tank will not automatically cut off the gas pump when the tank is full. This has been occurring for approx the last 15,000 miles and I currently have 27,000 miles on the jeep. The vehicle was brand new when I purchased it. I have this problem at every gas station I have tried so I do not believe it is a gas pump failure. I have also filled other cars at the same gas stations with no problems.
Fuel spills when gas pump does not shut off.
Jeep jk wrangler 2008 - gas tank overflows at every fill up splashing gasoline onto pump, person, vehicle and ground. Risk of fire and or explosion. Problem started about two years into vehicle and has not gone away. Dealer not repairing problem since vehicle warranty expired due to mileage; not years.
Everytime I fill my 2008 wrangler with fuel, it spills all over including me. This is a fire hazard as fuel spills all over myself and the jeep. I have tried different stations and still the same result. Chrysler says there is nothing wrong but I feel this is an accident waiting to happen. Exposed fuel in hot temp with the possibility of sparks by other sources while fueling. It started doing this last july 2009 and continues to this day.
The fuel tank in my 2008, 2 door, jeep wrangler jettisons fuel at each fill-up. I'm told the roll-over valve has failed and that this is common for jeep wrangler jks. If the roll-over valve in the gas tanks in most models of a vehicle are defective, seems like the manufacturer should recall the vehicles for proper safety repair.
