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.

When filling the parked, shut-off vehicle with gasoline there is regular spillover. Regardless of gas station and pump, the pump does not detect fill and automatically shut off. This has been a frequent issue for about a year.

I originally took my jeep in to the dealer ship because every time I would fill up the gas would overflow. They said that they replaced he filler neck because there was a recall on that. Now it takes 30 minutes to fill up the tank from 1/4 tank because the gas pump will click off every 2 seconds.

I have recently purchased this vehicle and while refueling my jeep the pump wouldn't shut off on its own until a pint to quart of fuel spilled out of the inlet. This has happened every time I put fuel in the vehicle. Now I listen to the inlet to hear it coming to the top and when it's almost full I stop the flow, but I still end up covered in fuel which burns the skin and is harmful to the environment. I am on an army base so secondary containment is extremely important and every time I fill up I have to put a mat under my fuel inlet.

When filling the vehicle with gas, pump does not automatically shut off and gas spills out. I have to try and listen for the fuel to come up the fill pipe but it is difficult to gauge and hear. This is very dangerous as well as costly. This is the only vehicle I have had/heard of that has this issue. I know other jeep jk owners who also experience this.
