I was fueling my 2008 2d jeep rubicon, the auto-fill lever on the gas pump click to stop filling, then gas overflowed the tank. About 1 cup of gas went all over bumper, side of jeep and my shoes. This has since happened at every fuel station everytime.

I purchased a 2008 jeep wrangler and every time I fill up with gas the pump does not shut off and it spills over. This happens weekly, every time I'm at the pump. Chrysler/jeep will not correct the problem.
Gas overflows on filling gas tank.
Every time I fill my vehicle up with fuel, at the end of the fill up, fuel comes gushing out of the fuel tank neck, after the pump has performed its auto shutoff. At least 1 - 2 cups of fuel is spilled on the ground every time this occurs. The dealer said that I should idle at the pump for 60-90 seconds before performing a fill up. I have attempted this and it has no effect on the flue gushing out of the tank.
Fuel overflows during fillup causes spilled gasoline on the vehicle and also on the ground. This happens at multiple fuel stations ruling out gas pump as defective. The fuel system appears to not signal the pump to stop pumping gas when full.
1. Every time I get gas my gas tank on my 08 jeep wrangler overflows. 2. It occurs every time I get gas. It causes me to spill gas down the side of my jeep and on the ground. 3. The dealership will not do anything since I am 10k past my warranty.
2008 jk wrangler bought new, no accidents 45,000 miles. Every time I fill up with gas, gas spews out all over the jeep and ground seems I cannot fill it slow enough to stop this. It happens 90% of fill ups at multiple pumps serious fire hazard. Gascap light is on even with the cap tight.
My 2008 jeep jk rubicon spews gas and ejects the gas pump when it reaches capacity. It doesn't happen everytime, but every third time. I now have to "gauge" how much gas is in the tank and stop it before it fills up. When it overflows, nearly a pint to two pints spew out all over my jeep, gas station floor and several times over myself. This is a serious health and environmental hazard. Imagine someone lighting a cigarette after a fuel up forgetting he just got gasoline on him.
2008 jeep wrangler x. Lately when I fill up the gas tank it overflows. I've had the jeep since september 2007. The last 4 fillups this has been an issue at multiple stations. It overflows if I hold it manually, or use the locking mechanism on the fuel gun. It overfills even when it "clicks" off. This has to be dangerous. I am now in the habit of putting in less gas so as not to deal with gasoline spilling out of my tank and all down my fenders and bumpers. This is not safe. There are many complaints out there. Chrysler should issue a recall for this problem. Gasoline fumes and cars are not something that should be taken lightly.
I have a 2008 jeep wrangler that overflows fuel everytime I fill it up. Within a half second of the pump shutting off fuel sprays out of the fill tube. All over the jeep, all over me, all over the ground. Even if I decrease the flow to a trickle it still overflows.
When fueling my 2008 jeep wrangler x (2dr) and setting the pump to auto fill the fuel overflows once the tank was filled completely. The pump clicked off and the fuel tank then "vomited" a lot of fuel out.
2008 wrangler 2 door. At about 25,000 miles, started overflowing when I filled up gas tank. I didn't worry about it too much until I had another issue and went in for service at the dealer. That is when I complained about it. They said the shut-off valve inside the tank was stuck and replaced the gas tank. 100 miles later, the engine light came on. Dealer inspected it and said there was a faulty emissions valve on the gas tank and would have to replace it again.
My 2008 jeep wrangler spews gas after the automatic shut-off. I do not top off and have tried several gas stations. The gas pumps clicks off and 3 seconds later I hear a gurgle and about 2 cups of fuel vomits out, runs down my paint, plastic bumper and on the ground. This seems to be a very serious and dangerous thing. I have taken my jeep back to the dealer who replaced the gas tank. The first fill up with the new tank had no issues, from the second fill up on it spews.
When gassing up vehicle- fuel will regurgitate out fuel neck onto person fueling and all over vehicle and ground. Happens every time I fuel regardless of how slow I fuel vehicle. Extremely dangerous!
When fueling my 2008 jeep wrangler gas always spills out. I have had it for over a year and it just started about two months ago. I put the gas nozzle in the fill tube and click it on auto fill. The nozzle will click off then a second later gas comes shooting out. I've read on a forum this is a common problem and believe jeep should issue a recall and fix the problem. I also think I should be reimbursed for the $120 dollars I paid to have it checked and not fixed.
I have a 2008 jeep wrangler 2dr hardtop with 30,000 miles. Everytime I fill up at the gas station, the gas nozzle instead of shutting off properly, it spews gas from the tank all over the ground. The gas runs all down my paint and onto the ground.
My 2008 jeep wrangler will spill gas out almost every time I fill the tank if I hold the nozzle on anything above about a quarter open. As it nears full, the pump clicks off and then whoosh, out comes about a quart of gas, spilling down the side and onto the parking lot. It did not do this when I first bought it. It started doing this about 6 months ago. I never contacted the dealer as my warranty is up. I really didn't give this much thought as I have learned if I just trickle the last few gallons in, it only happens to me about 25% of the time. However, after stumbling across a jeep forum on the internet and finding out that there are many people out there with this exact same problem, I realize that somebody is going to get killed by an explosion or fire eventually.
Gas pump frequently does not disengage after tank is full causing gasoline to spray over vehicle and on to ground.
Everytime I fill up the vehicle gas spills out of the filler neck after the fuel nozzle shuts off.
2008 jeep wrangler overflows during each gas fill up. Shuts off only after gas is over flowing from gas fill pipe.
Fuel tank overflow. When refilling from empty, the tank will spray fuel out the filler spout after the pump shots off automatically. Dealer has replaced the evap canister and essim valve and results are the same. It still "burps" fuel out and makes a mess.
Gas spills out of tank at every fill-up. No topping off, will spill out even if underfilled. Known issue being reported for jeep jk at jk-forum.com.
I have a 2008 jeep wrangler, 2 door, 4x4. The past 4-5 times I have filled up with gas, the gas handle stops when full, then gas starts gushing back out getting all over the side of the vehicle and ground, my estimate would be 1/4-1/2 a gallon each time, minimum.

When filling the fuel tank gas comes rushing out of the filler neck a couple of seconds after the tank reaches full and the auto-shut off on the fuel stations fill pump shuts off.
