Fuel spills on fill-up. Fuel dispenser at service stations will not shut off automatically with my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited. Problem started at approximately 43000 miles on the odometer.
2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4x4 fuel system complaints
Page 8 of 9: complaints 191 to 220 of 223, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Gasoline sprays from the fuel filler during refueling on a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited creating a fire hazard and environmental contamination. This issue occurs nearly every weekly fill-up and is increasing in frequency.
Started having a problem with my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited at around 50k miles. When filling up at a gas station on a trip to the mountains. When the auto shutoff at the pumped clicked off the gas came spewing out of the file hole. I considered it a one time fluke and that possibly the gas pump was defective. As time went on it did not matter what gas station I went to the problem occurred more and more frequently. Now the only way to avoid an overflow is to stop filling at around 15 gallons and slowly top off the tank by carefully listening for the fuel level and easing the fuel into the tank. My concern is the amount of fuel spilling out on the pavement is a safety hazard. One spark could be disastrous for myself of someone who follows me at the pump. I have read where many other jeep owners with the same year and model are experiencing a similar problem. I feel this issue needs to be addressed with chrysler corporation before someone gets hurt.
Starting about 12-15 gas fill-ups ago, my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4x4 rubicon started to eject fuel out of the gas filler tube about a second after the pump automatically shut off. I have not changed any procedure during fill-ups and have used the same gas pumps and gas stations for the last 2 years -- this started out of the blue. When the gas overflows, it ejects with enough pressure to cover the gas cap hanging below with gas, and saturates the side of the jeep and bumper, dropping a good amount of gas on the ground (probably about a 2.5 - 3 foot radius of a puddle). The first time it happened, my hand was covered in gas, and I estimate about a half gallon of gas was ejected. It now happens every time during a fill-up unless I stop the gas pump before the tank is close to full. I have listened attentively during a few fill-ups, and have shut off the pump once I hear a change in sound that the tank is near full -- and this still results in fuel ejecting from the filler tube, but just not as much. I can no longer rely on the pump auto shut off even at low filling speeds, and I can no longer fill the tank to it's previously normally full capacity. I am very concerned about the safety of this, not only to me and my passengers, but the other patrons around me -- not to mention the environmental impact of the gas spills. There are no known fixes, and it appears, according to jeep forums, that this is becoming a very common problem, with the latest updates that chrysler completely replacing gas tanks only under warranty, and with no apparent updates to keep it from occurring again in the future. My jeep has just come out of warranty around the end of september, due to mileage. I now have 40,000 miles on the jeep, and I estimate this started at about 35,000 miles.
Filled up my '07 jeep wrangler unlimited 4-door today and gas came pouring out of the jeep after the pump nozzle clicked off. Happened last fill up too, but never before.
Starting a few months ago my 2007 jeep wrangler with 51000 miles, started to have issues when refueling. When filing up the tank, shortly after the auto shut-off kicks in, gas will spray out of the filler. This issue just started and appears to happen at all gas stations. I currently do not fill my up jeep all the way to prevent this from happening, but this is a pretty big safety concern. My wife will not get gas in this car due to this issue as well. My vehicle is out of warranty. After reading about this online, it appears there are many jeep wrangler owners (2007 and newer) who have the same issue. Some dealers are replacing the gas tanks, but most are not admitting there is any issue. Due to this being a big safety issue, I wanted this reported and maybe there could be a recall.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited, everytime I fill up the gas tank using the auto shut-off feature of the gas pump, not topping off, the gas gushes out of the filler tube. Every single time since about 35000 miles on the odometer. Gas goes everywhere. About a quart I'd say hits the ground. Since the jeep is out of warranty, I just live with it. I still fill up but I only put in a few gallons at a time, stop, pull the nozzle out, and put in a few more. Gas still comes out but not as much.
Gas tank on my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited started overflowing at gas pumps about one month ago. Happens every time I fill up.
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler 4 door. When I fill it up with gas the pump clicks off then a second or 2 later it shoots gas back out of the fill tube from my jeep. It has been doing this for some time now.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited fuel overflow cut off does not work. Every time I pump gas and fill up with the automatic fuel trigger engaged, the cut off does not prevent fuel from surging out of the overflow and the mouth of the gas tank spilling it on the ground. I have to slowly pump the last gallon to fill up or else it will overflow. There are multiple dates of incident.
When filling the fuel tank, the tank overflows out of the spout before shutting off the pump. Fuel sprays out onto the vehicle, the ground, and the person standing near the spout. This creates a fire hazard and health hazard. This occurs at every fill-up.
I have a 2007 jeep jk wrangler 4 door. When I fill the gas tank up, it will not stop on its own. It overflows a lot of gasoline down the side of the vehicle and all over the ground. It spills quite a bit of gasoline and leaves quite a big puddle.
While filling vehicle at gas station pump does not shut off when tank fills and dumps gas onto vehicle and ground.
Gas tank overfills and gets gas all over vehicle and ground. This occurs every time I fill up and started when the vehicle had about 40k miles. Nothing has been done to correct the problem.
Every time I put gas in the tank it overfills and spills all over car, ground, pump and me.....has been occurring since I hit 30-32k miles and now I have 37k miles (past warranty of course). I have tried different stations in different cities all same problem. Dealer will not address this very dangerous issue unless I pay them for an inspection etc...
When pumping full into my 2007 jk wrangler unlimited, the pump does not shut off right away and a great deal of full spills on the ground.
Gas tank continually overflows when filling. If I stop the pump prior to being full a second or two later the gas comes pouring back up the filler tube. This is a very dangerous situation and to my understanding it is a widespread problem. In addition to the danger of this I believe there is an environmental impact with this as well.
When filling the vehicle's gas tank the gas overflows out of the gas tank before the gasoline pump shots off. This has happened at many different gas stations. The amount of gas coming out is significant.
I have an 07 jeep wrangler unlimited. Had it for over 2yrs. Everytime since I bought it, when I go to fuel up, the gas tank overflows. I've resorted to never filling completely up. When it does overflow, about half a gallon of gas pours out. I just put the date that it started in the column below.
When filling the fuel tank from empty to full on 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited x the fuel pump nozzle does not shut off automatically. Causing a dangerous overflow that gets on the person, ground and the side of the jeep. This started on about 9/01/09. I bought the jeep new in 05/01/07. The mileage is 54,000 on it now.
Gas overflow in a 2007 jeep wrangler. Every time I fill up my jeep regardless of how empty or full, gas overflows and runs out of the fill tube.
When pumping gas into my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited it has started over filling everytime I put gas in it. Quite a bit of gas spews out and gets all over the vehicle and ground. This is a major safety hazard and I hope that chrysler is planning a recall or has a fix before someone get seriously injured.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited - fuel blowback from jeep when pump shuts off during fillup.
Normal vehicle use. No visible failure, however the fuel tank has an internal failure/defect that does not allow the air to vent during filling of the fuel tank. This causes the fuel to shoot out of the filler cap during normal filling, spilling approximately 1 quart of gasoline on the bumper and ground. It occurs during every fill up at any gas station. I took it to the dealer and they did nothing and informed me if I wanted it to work properly I would have to purchase an entire new gas tank. Vehicle is just 2 years old and less than 60,000 miles. I expressed safety concerns and the dealership did not care.
Every time I fill my gas tank on my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon, it overfills spilling gas. The pump cuts off then the gas spews back out. The spill creates a puddle on the ground underneath the jeep and coats the gas pump handle and the jeep body and bumper with gas.
This has happened repeatedly for past four times !!! Gas tank is not cutting off the fuel, and overspilling gas out of the neck onto me, jeep and gas station floor.
I have a jeep jk wrangler 2007 unlimited. I have owned it for almost 3 years and have never had this problem until now. I was filling my gas tank at my regular station at my regular pump (I live in a small town) and when the tank filled up gas began gushing out. I had to manually shut off the gas nozzle and got gas all over me. This could have been a tragic incident had a spark flown from a car passing by or someone thrown a cigarette out the window. I really thought nothing of it until the next day when I was looking through some forums I frequent (www.jk-forum.com) and saw there was a thread on this exact subject. This seems to be an issue with this model of jeep wrangler. Please have someone look in to this before someone gets seriously hurt (if they haven't already) in the meantime, I've tried 2 different stations and it's overflowed one time and the other time it did not. Thank you for your time, kollins bull a concerned consumer
I have a problem where my gas tank has begun spewing gas out everytime I put gas in the tank. My grandson and I were covered in gas while we were 4 to 5 feet away. From investigation many other jeep wrangler unlimited 2007 jk owners have the same problem. It never use to do this and suddenly now it happens everytime you get fuel. We need help before someone get hurt.
My 2007 jeep wrangler overspills 1/2 gallon of gasoline at every fill-up, causing a fire hazard. This appears to be a common problem, as many wrangler owners on jk-forum.com have complained of this issue.
With 1/3 to 1/2 tank of gas, the vehicle will stall (and not restart) if idled facing downhill for a couple of minutes. This has happened when parallel parking as well as sitting at a red light in traffic. In order to restart the vehicle you must be able to drift it to level ground. Obvious issue in drifting are no power steering, no power brakes, and the availability of a safe level area out of traffic. Certainly, you should not expect to "run out of gas" with up to a half tank remaining.
