Each time I add fuel from a gas pump, once the pump stops automatically, the fuel spits out fuel, as if there is too much air getting into the tank and pushing out the fuel. This happens all the time, and gas gets all over my tire cover, jeep body, and even sometimes on me, if I am holding the pump.

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 4-DR 4x2 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Greetings, my 2007 jeep weangler has a fueling issue. When ever I fuel my jeep it overflows and spits gas back at me when ever the tank gets close to full. This happens every time and at multiple gas stations.
I was fueling my jeep. While the pump was active I was washing the windows. I heard ans smelled fuel splashing and had to run back and manually disengage the nozzle. The left rear of the vehicle and the ground were covered with gas. Thinking it might be a gas pump (gas station) problem, I ignored the problem. When it happened two more times at different locations, I got repairs done at a local garage. My garage looked up the problem on the internet and found http://www.edmunds.com/autoobserver-archive/2011/02/chrysler-fuel-spit-back-complaints-rise.html which documents a spike in complaints from other jeep wrangler owners.
Fuel spillage while refilling.
Jeep wrangler spits gas during fueling, overflows down side of vehicle.
I bought a used 2007 jeep wrangler in june of 2010. A couple months after owning the vehicle, I noticed that if I left the gasoline pump on automatic, the pump would cut off and gasoline would gush out from the tank, spilling on the vehicle and ground below. This happened at various stations and every time I went to fill my tank to full. To prevent it from happening, I only fill my tank to 3/4 full.
