I was fueling the jeep and went back to sit in jeep, and when tank was full, it spit out gas all over jeep and ground. This is the first time it happened since I owned the jeep for a month.
2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4x4 fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 9: complaints 11 to 40 of 223, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4. The contact stated that strong fuel fumes emitted inside the vehicle. After inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that there was a leak coming from the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. The technician diagnosed that the fuel tank, lock ring and the fuel pump were deteriorated and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Updated 4/7/15*cn updated 6/25/2015
Fuel tank overflows on every fill-up. There is a recall wranglers manufactured in the first half of 2007 but this one was made 12/2007 and is not covered by the previous recall but exhibits the same problem and has done so since purchase.
I was driving with friends when I noticed that the vehicle was not functioning properly. Overheating, AC stopped working, and an odd speed fluctuation. I informed the people I was with that I was going to drive to the main road. Before I got there, about 50 feet, the whole vehicle was engulfed in flames. The flames went over the top of the jeep. Luckily the flames died down briefly enough for me to jump out . I lost everything in the jeep and the jeep itself. Upon contacting jeep, they said it wasn't their fault rather it was my fault. Clearly something malfunctioned and I almost lost my life.
Each time I fill up and set the gas pump to 'auto fill' the gasoline spills out all over the ground when the tank is full and the pump fails to shut off. This occurs with no warning and I was splashed with gasoline again yesterday. I do not trust the car using the automatic feature as this has happened since I bought the jeep new in 2007. I was doused with gasoline yesterday and I am seriously concerned about this issue. There are several complaints of similar nature found online for this particular issue. I contacted chrysler about the issue and they were of no help and claim not to be aware of the issue. I think this is more than an inconvenience and is of a particular safety concern as gasoline is spewing out from the fuel receptacle. Please follow up with chrysler and see if a service bulletin has been issued for this potentially dangerous condition.
I purchased the vehicle in august of 2013. Every time I fill the gas tank up it overflows. The automatic shut off at the pump does not shut off until there is gas spilling out all over my vehicle, the nozzle and the ground. It happens 100% of the time.
Everytime I fill up the vehicle, there is substantial fuel overflow. This happens regardless of the amount filling up, regardless of the pump or station, and regardless of the nozzle itself. There is enough fuel spillage to fill at least a 16 oz. Cup every time I fill up.
Fuel spitback issue. Under extended warranty, jeep wranglers built 3/1/2007 - 3/31/2008 can have their fuel tanks replaced under warranty. Mine was built in january 2007. If this is an issue in so many other jeeps that fall outside of these built dates, I don't know why they were not included. My vehicle spits out sometimes and estimated quart of gasoline after the automatic fill pump stops. It doesn't matter if it is pumping on the higher or lower speed. This gasoline, even though I wash it off every time, has left marks on my tires and I hope it does not corrode the paint or plastic trim.
Spits gas upon filling. Took it in to the dealer originally and they replaced the carbon can and other items to the tune of about $500. Did it again a month later and still does every time for the last couple years. We have learned to put the cap where it won't get wet and stand far away form the filler when filling. I saw the extended warranty for a fuel inlet check valve, but am reluctant to go to dealer (only one around for 120 miles) because I don't want to hosed buy them, I'd rather get hosed by fuel. If the vehicle burns down a gas station it's good to know that there isn't a dangerous problem with this vehicle.
When filling gas tank fuel shut off does not work. Fuel sprays out of fill hole.
Whenever I fill my tank, it spits gasoline out all over the place. The overflow valve in the stem doesnt work. Not only is this an expensive issue as gas is lost at each fill up, but also environmentally unacceptable.
Since june 2012 when filling up the fuel tank no matter how slow or fast the last bit of fuel spews from the tank filler opening spilling all over the car and ground occurs every time the car is fueled up completely.
Every time I try to fill my tank, it overflows. It doesn't respond to the shut-off mechanism. I've had my car since february of last year and it's happened every time I've tried to fill up for almost a year now.
Every time during fuel fill up on 07 jeep wrangler 4dr unlimited x, the fuel will spit anywhere from 1-3 pints back out of the gas tank all over the vehicle and the ground. I find this a major safety concern for both emissions and very possible fire hazards, not to mention the irritation of wasted gas over time= wasted hard earned money. Upon research, its a poor design within the gas tank and/or the evap sensor on the evap canister. Please help us customers by getting chrysler/jeeps attention to recall this poor design that is affecting thousands of jeep owners.
Refueling, at under 2 gallons, fuel sprayed out the fuel fill. Tried filling again, at almost 18 gallons, did it again. Spilling fuel on the side of the vehicle, the ground, and me.
I noticed that when I fill the gas tank instead of it clicking and shutting off, gas always shoots back out and down the side of the vehicle. This happens on a weekly basis.
When filling the fuel tank, gasoline ejected from the fuel tank onto myself and the ground! This has happens everytime I attempt refuel the tank. I have tried to use different fueling stations, I never "top off" the tank and now must manually shut up the pump before it fills up leaving me with only 3/4 tank.
Fuel spits back every time you fill the gas tank. The pump stops filling and then the car ejects fuel from the tank and it goes everywhere!
This has happend a few times but when fueling up when full gas would spit out (a lot) and run down the side of my jeep and leave a puddle at the gas pump.
When fueling, the gas tank "burps" approximately 1liter of gas after the fuel station pump turns off. This is not due to overfilling the tank. This happens every time I fill up, not on partial fills. The gas spilling is ruining my paint and plastic as well as damaging the service station cement and ultimately damaging the environment. (if this happens to every owner of a jeep wrangler, multiplied by every gas fill-up, just how much gasoline is being spilled?)
Since early 2011, the gas tank of my jeep wrangler overflows when being filled with gas resulting in significant amounts of gas being spilled into the environment. I have reported this to jeep in june. They have not yet fixed the problem.
When filling up with gas and setting the locking mechanism on the fuel nozzle, upon fillup, fuel will spray out of the fuel filler before the nozzle disengages. This has been repeated at all of the subsequent fillups, using different stations and pumps. Fuel will spill onto the ground, side of vehicle, bumper area, and on the person refueling.
The throttle control light came on at 40 MPH and then started flashing and I had no throttle and had to drive home on idle. This was a used car on the way home from purchase. The jeep dealer had it for three days and says the garage computer corrected the problem, but it still happens about one a month, I have to pull over, shut the key off and restart for it to work.
Jeep wrangler has had an issue when filling the gas tank with fuel overflow at time of full tank. The pump will not shut off and gas is spilled on vehicle and ground. Happens everytime I fill up since about 12k miles on odometer. Have heard that jeep will pay for repairs for jeeps manufactured beginning march 2007. There are many of us, like myself, that have jeeps manufactured earlier (mine was manuf. October, 2006 - 2007 model) that are having this issue and I would like jeep to over coverage for replacement of the gas tank as they are doing for others. This is an extreme safety issue and environmental hazard. Please assist. Thank you.
While fueling the car, when the pump shut off, several cups of gasoline overflowed onto the car and ground below. I've owned the car less than two weeks and have only filled it up twice. Both times gas overflowed on the ground. This is not only inconvenient, it also wastes money and is an environmental hazard. I am trying to see if this repair can be covered under warranty.
I just purchased a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon a couple weeks ago and when filling at the pump spits up gas when the pump shuts off when the tank is full. Thus spilling gas on myself, the vehicle and ground.
Gas overflow problem. Every time I fill up the tank with gas, the tank overflows, spilling gas all down the side of my 2007 jeep wrangler and onto the ground.
Fuel spills out of the filler port during the refueling process. Investigation #pe10032.
Gas overflows consistently when filling my 2007 jeep wrangler.
Fuel burp around fuel nozzle after the auto shutoff clicks and stops fuel flow. Fuel goes down the side of the jeep and onto the rear bumper. Happens every fillup no matter what the fill rate of the station system.
