I just purchased the jeep 2 months ago and ever single time without exception I get fuel spit back when fueling the jeep. When fueling the jeep the nozzle at the pump will cut off and 1-2 seconds later gas comes shooting out of the fuel tank. Today 3/2/2016 I could hear the sound change just before the nozzle cut off and tried to stop fueling before the spit back but was still to late. The behicle was stationary and shut off at the gas station. This happens weather it is hot or cold high elevation or lower. Denver is/was 60 degrees today. 5280 elevation. Last weekend in winter park 28 degrees and over 9000 elevation. Next time I fill up I will film the spit back.

Every single time I fill up my gas tank with gas it over flows. I have to try and listen for the sound of the fuel level getting close so I can let go of the pump handle in time so it doesn't flow over but many times with the noise of the station I'm too late and it dumps fuel down the side of my car, sometimes even spraying out the top and shooting gas over me. It's disgusting and wastes a lot of fuel. I go home stinking like gas and it's dangerous! Please make chrysler fix this issue. The 'when did this happen' question below doesn't really apply to this issue because it happens every single time I fill up. I chose the date of my last fill up.
Every time I have filled up the gas tank and used the gas pumps automatic stop, the gas overflows out of the tank and onto the ground. The last time it happened was this morning, 2/15/2016
Each time I fill up the gas tank the gas overflows and erupts out of the filling hole spewing gasoline all over the bumper, fender, body and myself.
Takata recall - when pumping gas into the vehicle gas continues to flow when the tank becomes full and gas pushes out over the opening and splashes gas over the paint and moldings of the jeep. I've also been splashed and it usually leaves a puddle. This is a defect and needs to be rectified by chrysler/jeep
When filling with gas, when the pump clicks off about a pint or more of gasoline comes rushing back out of the filler tube at the operator. It is very unsafe. Chrysler knows about this problem and refuses to do anything about it. I sede on the jeepforum this is a know problem, very scary and unsafe.
Every time I fill up with gas the fuel spills all over the side of my jeep after the pump shuts off. This happens at all gas stations. I have been reading on the jeep forums about this problem for years and still no recalls. A lot of gas is being spilled because of this, not to mention it could catch fire.
The fuel tank is leaking. Fuel has substantially corroded the protective skidplate under the fuel tank. Source of leak likely above fuel tank, perhaps the fuel line itself.
Every top off about a quart of fuel escapes past the hose handle that has already clicked off. It goes over the ground, car, and me. Serious safety concerns.
Every time I fill my jeep up, it will overfill and spill out of the hose and onto the fender. I can stop for a couple of seconds before it gets full and add gas slowly and it will stop. I wipe it off every time but it still leaves residue on the fender and side of my jeep. It also leaves a small puddle in the ground. This is a very bad issue and needs to be fixed.
While fueling up at gas station, station fuel nozzle did not shut off after tank was filled. It is now march of 2014. The problems with fueling up have gotten much worse. It seemed to be sporadic when the vehicle was a couple years old. When traveling out of nj, I can usually stop the gas flow before it overfills. Currently, nj is not self serve, and the attendants tell me that this is a jeep issue. I became curious and looked at this the federal safety agency site and found that this is not an isolated issue. 2009 jeep is now out of warranty.
When fueling the nozzle clicks and gas stops from the pump to the vehicle, a second later you can hear a rush of fuel coming up the neck of the tank and then spits out of the vehicle. Approximately 1/2 gallon or more is spilled all over the vehicle, person filling and the ground. I have attempted over time to listen and pay attention to how much gas is almost full in the tank but the pressure continues to push the fuel out. I have contacted chrysler and no resolution. This is a safety hazard, as well as an environmental hazard with all the gas that is spilled on the location and later washed away into drainage. Also, when me filling not as concerned but some incidents of this happening to younger members of household have me concerned.
When I first purchased this vehicle brand new with only 17 miles on it, everything worked as it should. But just under 2 years of ownership every time I fill up the fuel tank- doesn't matter what station I go to- fuel spills out of the filler neck all over the side of vehicle and onto the ground. I takes steps to avoid it by listening to the filling process and stopping the pump manually when I hear the fuel nearing the top, but I shouldn't have to do that. And with the price of fuel, I don't want to have to pay for the quart or so that ends up at my feet!
Fuel spills out of the tank when the tank is full. I never top off after the pump stops. This first occurred a few years ago and then didn't happen again for a while, but lately, it has become more frequent, and seems to be worsening. At first, the spill would be minor and occurred only when I took the nozzle out of the tank. A couple weeks ago, gas was spilling out of my tank just as the pump stopped. Today, gas was squirting out of the tank and onto me. Very concerned about potential dangers of spilled fuel--fire, environmental, personal injury from contact with gas, damage to vehicle.
When filling up the gas tank, it spits back about a pint or two of gas after the auto shutoff on the gas pump turns off. It does this every time now at any gas station. I'm concerned about the fire hazard of spilled fuel shooting around.
Has happened numerous times, gas fill-up overflow. Gas spews out all over jeep and anyone standing near it.
About 3 months ago the jeep started spitting out a large amount of gasoline at the fuel pump 10 seconds after the pump shuts off. This happens at every fill now and is extremely dangerous as you have to start the car and drive with the rear corner covered in gasoline. I did research and this is a common chrysler/jeep issue yet they said it's not a covered repair on my year model and could cost $1000 to fix... This doesn't make sense. I urge all drivers with this issue to file a complaint as it's dangerous and should be covered under the warranty if not, recall. My jeep is stock everything and there was nothing that occurred out of the ordinary when this started happening.
When filling the vehicle up at a gas station an excessive amount of fuel will kick back out of the tank and get on the individual, the vehicle and the ground. This happens when it nears a full tank. I had the same issue on a 2007 that was recalled by chrysler, but they tell me that they will not cover the 2009. This condition is significantly worse than my old 2007 and poses as a serious safety concern.
Every time filling the jeep with fuel when the gas pump kicks off fuel spills or should I say blows back out of the filler neck covering who ever is fueling vehicle as well as the side of vehicle and the ground.
About 4 months ago I was filling up at pump and the auto-shut off did not work causing gas to gush out all over my jeep and the ground. Tried several gas stations and it continued to happen. Took jeep to dealer and they were aware of the issue - said it was not a recall, that they had to replace the fuel tank, o-ring, fuel pump and level unit. Luckily I have a warranty, however, I did have to pay a $100 deductible. My husband was researching and saw that this is an emissions issue and read that the manufacturer is responsible for any emission issues due to defective parts. I see several people have made the same claim as I and I do hope that someone looks into this issue with chrysler/dodge. I do not feel I should have had to pay a deductible - this sounds like an issue where if it happens, chrysler/dodge should be covering the work/parts.
Not sure about the exact date or mileage but approximately two months ago, gasoline began spilling out of my gas tank while filling up the vehicle. I was not trying to "top it off" as it doesn't even click. It has happened every time I try to fill up since the first occurrence. It has happened at numerous gas stations. I now have to estimate how much gas to enter into my vehicle so it does not overflow. Several times gasoline has spilled onto my clothing.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 jeep wrangler 4x4. The contact stated that fuel spilled out from the filler neck while refueling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the vehicle needed a new fuel tank. The manufacturer was notified and they advised the contact that there were no recalls affecting the vehicle. No further assistance was offered. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000. Updated 03/05/12*lj the consumer stated chrysler offered to cover the cost of the repair, minus a $102 deductible. The tank was replaced. Updated 03/06/12
Approximately 1/4 gallon of gas back flows forcefully out of filler neck immediately following the release of the handle when the tank is full. This happens both when the handle is locked down in the fueling position and automatically clicks off and when I'm holding the handle to fill the tank. At no time am I attempting to overfill the tank beyond the safety shut off. This happens 100 percent of the time with the result of fuel landing on the rear fender, bumper, my clothes, shoes, and leaves a manhole cover size spot of fuel on the pavement.
I purchased my vehicle used in september of 2011 with 27k miles on it and every time I fill up my gas tank I end up with gasoline overflow. Basically, I stick the gas nozzle in and when it is automatically finished, some gasoline spits back out of the tank all over the car, the ground and at times myself. This has happened every time, regardless of gas station or what state I am in (indiana, illinois and kentucky). The only solution is the manually pump the gas and estimate when it is almost full and stop. This is hardly practical and should be fixed. I see that the issue has been acknowledged by a simple google.com search but only for the 2007-2008 jeep wranglers. Mine is a 2009 with the same exact issue.
When filling up gas at the end gas pours out all over the car and ground.
Fuel spills out of the fuel filler neck as fueling is near completed. This has happened on several occasions since august and I have tried various solutions and nothing seems to solve the problem. My jeep wrangler now has 37,257 miles and is no longer under warranty. Apparently this is a common problem with jeep wranglers.
Within the past several months I cannot fill up my gas tank without gas spilling out before the tank cuts off. This happens at all gas stations every time I fill up. The dealer told me the tubing needed to be replaced so they did it. But, I still had the problem. Now they are telling me the charcoal cartridge is clogged and has blocked the vent into the gas tank. This will now need replacing. Because I am just outside my warranty, chrysler has agreed to cover most of the cost. Each time I have to pay a deductible because the dealer keeps deciding it is something else that is causing the problem. I have researched the problem online and it appears to be a common problem in jeeps. Why hasn't chrysler corrected this problem? I read there was a recall of the problem in '07-'08 jeeps, but only those years. If the problem was acknowledged, why is it still happening in '09 jeeps?
When I go to fill the gas tank of my 2009 jeep wrangler unlimited gas comes burping out of the hole where you fill it.
Everytime I fill my 2009 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon with gas, immediately after the pump turns off, gas starts flowing out of the fuel neck spilling on me the side of my vehicle and the ground. This has occurred at several different stations using different pumps. I can take my other vehicle to same pump and not have the same problem. I'm concerned not only of the damage this is doing to the body of my wrangler but also the environment because of all the gas spilling on the ground.
2009 jeep rubicon spurts gas back at end of refueling-started this problem at 27,000 miles. Similar complaints noted in jeep forums.
