During refueling for the last several months we have experience fuel spit back. This has resulted in fuel spilling on person doing the refueling, fuel on vehicle and ground, enough were the attendant must clean up excess fuel on the ground. This is near the exhaust, extreme fire danger,and personal injury and/or death. Research shows that 2007-2008 jeeps have had a recall for this issue. Chrysler has had this issue for years. My gas tank needs to be replaced as the check valve is in the tank at a cost of $600.00 + labor & tax. Respectfully request this matter gets investigated prior to major incident involving explosion and/ or fire.
2009 Jeep Wrangler 2-DR 4x4 fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My 2009 jeep wrangler overfills every single time I try and fill-up. It has gotten tot he point that I generally try and stop filling up at about 3/4 of a tank if I can, but if I allow it to fill aon its own, it overfills and splashes out.
Every time I fill the gas tank, ever since I first bought it, it will spill gas upon shutting the pump off at top off. This was a problem with the 07/08 models to the point of a factory tank replacement, but the 09 model is not covered for some reason and should be. It will eventually ruin the paint and possibly the bumper cosmetics as well. Please help.
Pulling away from a stoplight the plastic gas pedal snapped off - resulting in the inability to accelerate out of the intersection. I purchased a replacement from the local jeep dealership that same week - and this has just occurred again (february 22nd 2013). This past time I was pulling out of a parking lot and the gas pedal snapped again. I am not an aggressive driver. There must be a flaw in this design.
When fueling, gasoline will splash back from the filler before the pump stops causing gas to spill on the side of the vehicle and on the ground. It happens at any gas station anytime the vehicle is filled up.
My 2009 wrangler has an overfilling problem every single time I fill up at the gas station. It doesn't matter if I use the lowest setting on the gas pump or if I manually use as little pressure as possible. It overfills every single time and gas pours out of the fill spout running down the body of the vehicle on my hand on my clothes and on the ground. My mechanic has been in touch with jeep who claims they haven't heard of this problem, and he has also contacted chrysler corporation who has not returned his phone calls. At this point I just want the problem fixed because this is a hazardous material that is pouring out onto my car, my body, my clothes, and the ground. Some answers and/or action from jeep/chrysler would be great!
Fuel filler burps out gasoline after all fill ups. Happens at any type of pump and fill station.
When filling up the gas tank the fuel will spit back out of the tank. This creates a significant amount of fuel being shot back at the person filling up the vehicle and it also creates an environmental hazard. This has occurred on the last few occasions when re-fueling the vehicle.

About 1/2 a gallon of gas overflows and spills when filling up the gas tank of a 2009 jeep wrangler. This happens everytime I fill up the tank and the side body panel and part of the rear bumper as well as the ground get soaked with gasoline. I've contacted the dealer regarding the issue but since a recent recall only includes 2007 and 2008 models, my jeep could not get fixed.
Fuel overflow every time I fill up at the gas station. 1-2 quarts end up on my jeep and the ground unless I carefully monitor the pump when fueling.
My 2009 jeep wrangler will overflow gas onto the side of the jeep onto the ground every time I fill the gas tank up when using any gas station's automatic shut-off. I do not "top off" the tank. I have tried 5 different gas stations to make sure this was not limited to my usual gas stations. I have also tried filling the take up at slower speeds, but it still overflows. This issue started approximately at 20k miles. This is a serious safety issue not only for me but other people using the gas pump after me. On spark from static electricity could cause a fire/explosion.
2009 jeep wrangler 2 door rubicon w/ 6 speed manual transmission. Deceleration problem. Vehicle will accelerate sporadically when descending long steep grades forcing driver to ride brakes to keep under control. This occurs when vehicle approaches approximately 2000 RPM. It feels like just a slight acceleration, however, it's enough to put the vehicle into a coasting situation with no engine braking whatsoever. This also occurs when slowing for a stop sign. Accelerator pedal is completely released and the vehicle just goes into a coast. This situation could lead to brake fade on a long steep grade and accelerated brake wear. I've had no satisfaction at dealer. All I was told is that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle.
Fuel tank will overflow spilling anywhere from 1-2 quarts of fuel from vehicle when automatic fuel pumps are used. It appears as though the tank does not vent properly, when the automatic fuel pumps shut off (regardless of station) the tank appears to "burp" venting more gases and 1-2 quarts of fuel. This is a consistent problem happening regularly (every second or third fill up).
