Last summer (2010) my 4-door 2007 jeep wrangler began having problems with the gas shut-off valve. When filling up with gasoline, gas would shoot out of the tank at the end of the filling process. It splashes out of the tank and if I don't get out of the way in time, gas can spray on my body. Otherwise, gas spills out all over the exterior of the vehicle and onto the ground around the vehicle. The problem happened intermittently for a while and now happens almost every time I fill up with fuel. Nothing has been done to correct the problem as I feel this is a defect and not something I should be responsible for.
2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4x4 fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 9: complaints 41 to 70 of 223, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Gas tank overflowing when filling vehicle.
Gas overfow after fill up.
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara. When I fill the tank with fuel I always get an overfill. This is not an intermittent thing. It happens 100% of the time. The splashback is significant spilling fuel all over my jeep the ground and most the times if I am not paying attention myself.
When refueling my 2007 jeep wrankler (4dr) the fuel will overflow back out of the tank without warning. This occurs when locking the fuel pump handle as some places allow and when fueling up manually. There is no way to know when to stop fueling before this occurs uhnless you try to remove the nozzle and look into the fill hole while slowly pumping the fuel.
Fuel burp around fuel nozzle after auto shutoff. Fuel goes down the side of the jeep and onto the rear bumper. Happens every fillup.
I am the owner of a jeep jk four door sahara wrangler.... 2007 model. Since I have owned it I have had it spit/ hurl fuel every single time I fill it up. Its gotten so bad that I now purposely have to watch it and can't do a complete fillup.
Fuel burp around fuel nozzle after auto shutoff, down side of jeep and onto bumper. Happening every fillup after odometer has passed 50,000 miles.
Gas overflows when filling tank. After automatic nozzle shuts off gas backs up in fill tube and exits from fill tube. Gas spills over onto outside of vehicle destroying paint and forming puddle on ground. Sometimes gas expels so fast it shots out and gets on person pumping fuel. This happens at every full fill up. Nothing has been done to correct this except for trying to manually stop pump before tank is full.
Over the pass two months as I fill the gas tank of my 2007 jeep wrangler once the tank is full and the pump stops the flow of gas, gas spits back out of the fuel inlet with some force behind it. Other than gas covering my hands and legs no injuries have resulted from this but with the force that it does come out of the inlet it could easily get in to someone's eyes, not to mention the effect of gas covering my hands every time I fill my gas tank. I have brought it to my local dealer and they have told me I need to replace my gas tank as there is a vent that is part of the tank that can not be replaced without changing the whole tank at a cost of 610.00 this sounded odd to me so I started looking in to it and found a large number of this happening to other people. That in turn LED me to your web site and this complaint form. I have an open case file in with jeep but have not got an answer as I write this. I have read the investigation you have done into this and my only comment to that is just because no one has been hurt yet does not make it safe.
Everytime the vehicle is filled with gas, gas spills out even when the gas pump has turned off.
Fuel splashes out of filler neck on my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited at fill-ups when the pump automatically shuts off. It has occurred in warm and cold weather, and at several different gas stations both with and without vapor recovery type nozzles. An estimated 1-2 cups of fuel can splash out, getting all over me, the vehicle and the ground. Originally the problem never occurred, but now happens 50% or more of the time having started perhaps two years ago. I thought it might just be me until I learned recently the federal safety agency was looking into the issue. This problem can be a potential fire/explosion hazard, as I often see idiots smoking while refueling their vehicles. Not to mention other potential health and inconvenience issues due to contact with gasoline.
Gas overflow on filling. Jeep has released a tsb but my jeep was not in the dates covered by the tsb, yet I still have this overflow on filling issue.
While filling the gas tank on my 07 jeep wrangler, fuel spills out before pump shut off. This has been happening for 6 months now. My build date is before the date that chrysler said problems are happening.
When filling up my 2007 jeep wrangler with fuel about a quart shoots back out after the pump stops. Different gas stations and ambient temps do not affect the issue, it always happens. This is unsafe! My wife and I both have had gas spilled on us, our children can breath the fumes on us getting back in the car, and gas is left to seep into the ground or catch on fire from the heat of the next cars exhaust. Not safe! Tsb 14-001-11 which extends the gas tank valve does not pertain to my 2007 jeep wrangler since it was built dec 22, 2006 and the tsb begins on march 1, 2007.
Fuel spills out of gas filler hole when filling tank.
Fuel tank overflows before automatic shutoff at pump. Have had it happen using various types of fuel filling stations and various types of filling station nozzles. Has occurred every fill up since 2009.
While refueling the auto shutoff devices clicks and then fuel is burped out of the filler and down the side of the jeep and onto the reae bumper. This happening at every fillup since the odometer has passed 50,000 miles.
I have a 2007 4dr wrangler and have 29000 miles on it and every single time that I have filled the tank up it over flows onto the ground. I have had to put absorbant down per the gas station for the mess that was caused. It splashes back hard enough that it gets everywhere. And for those of jeep that read these, no I do not leave the pump or handle unattended. It not being under warranty anymore, it is no use after reading all this that I contact jeep to have it fixed as they say nothing is wrong. But the feeling of gas in your eye is a really uncomfortable feeling caused by a defect in jeep.
Every time I fill up my 2007 jeep wrangler jk unlimited it suddenly overflows pouring gas all over me, the ground, and the jeep. This occurs everytime I fill up the jeep. Even if I slow the pump down when getting close to full it still spits fuel out. I've tried several different gas station with the same dangerous results.
Every time I fill the tank on my 2007 jeep wrangler it overflows gasoline to the point that a small puddle forms on the ground. If I slow the pump towards the end it will still spew gasoline, but not to the same extent. The jeep has done this every single fill up since I purchased it in august 2010.
I own a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon. The vehicle has 16,000 miles. Beginning at about 12,000 miles, when filling the gas tank, the tank consistently overflows, regardless of level of fill, gas station or weather conditions. Approximately 8 to 32 oz of gas flows or spurts from the filler neck. This condition represents a personal injury risk, fire hazard and environmental issue. As the vehicle is beyond warranty, jeep refuses to address this serious issue. Based on jeep blogs, this issue appears to not be an isolated one.
When filling the gas tank normally, the fuel overflows. This happens at all gas stations and under most conditions.
2007 jeep wrangler splashes fuel out of the filler neck when refueled (after pump clicks off). Gas is spilled on the vehicle and on the ground. I took it to the dealer when it was still under warranty in 2007 as it was happening intermittently, they could not find a problem. Since that time it has gotten increasingly worse occurring each time it's refueled.
The fuel tank overflows when filling up. The fill nozzle shuts off then gasoline shoots out of the fill tube of the tank spilling one or two cups of fuel.
Our 2007 wrangler unlimited has 115,000 miles on it and has suddenly started overflowing gas when filling up. I feel this is a safety issue along with an environmental issue. I'm in talks with chrysler and hope they will pay to fix an obviously defective system.
When fueling my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited it suddenly overflows pouring gas all over me, the ground, and the jeep. This occurs everytime I fill up the jeep. Even if I slow the pump down when getting close to full it still spits fuel out.
While refueling vehicle and the auto shutoff device clicked and fuel was burped out of the filler and down the side of the jeep and onto the bumper. It does this on all flow rates. This is at gas stations that I used for other fill ups with no spills. It is happening at every fill up that has been done after mileage has reached 50,000 miles.
Gas tank overflowing during full up. Was intermittent since 45,000 miles. Overflows at every fillup now at 70,500 miles.
When I fill up my gas tank, it 'spits back' fuel before shutting off leaving gas dripping down my fenders and onto the ground. It doesn't appear to be too much gas but still leaves everything wet with gas including the gas pump. This happens when using the auto shut-off feature of the pump. It also happens when on the low speed setting. This started around 50k miles and continues now at 55k miles.
