When filling up with gas at california pumps, the nozzle keeps shutting off. It doesn't seem to matter how fast or slow I try to fill, what angle I turn the nozzle, or how deep I enter the nozzle, it keeps shutting off. It takes about 15 minutes to fill the tank, a few seconds at a time.
2005 Jeep Wrangler fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 16: complaints 41 to 70 of 448, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Just purchased this used jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon about 2 1/2 months ago and everytime I fill the gas tank, fuel pukes back out the filler opening and runs down the side all over the ground before the gas pump can shut off. Seems really dangerous not to mention making a big, embarrassing mess. It does not matter where I refuel, happens at all gas stations.
Every time I fill my gas tank, the fuel "burps" back and anywhere from one to two quarts of gas is spilled.
I own a 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited (lj) that I purchased in march of this year. From day 1, like many others, when I fill the vehicle's fuel tank, the pump will not shut off, causing fuel to spray / spill out and run down the body onto the ground. This is obviously a fire and environmental hazard and needs to be checked into. Don't even get me started on the death wobble.
When putting gas in fuel tank in jeep when filling up to full mark gas comes out of spout and runs down the side of jeep. This happens every time the jeep is filled up. At any gas station.
During fill up of the fuel tank, fuel sprays out of the filler hole resulting in a heath hazard, fire hazard, & environmental hazard. This needs to be addressed!
Fuel over flows when fueling the vehicle at gas station fuel blows out of the tank all over the ground.. This is a environmental issue.. And fire hazard.
Gas overflows during fillup.
When filling up the tank, the shutoff does not work at any gas station. The fuel shoots out of the tank. This is highly dangerous and results in me not being able to fill up my vehicle. In addition, I worry that the shutoff would not work in case of rollover.
Happens periodically, no forewarnings just happens, always when going slow or reversing like to park or back into parking spot.....unintended acceleration....scares the bejebers out of the person driving, since you never know when it's gonna happen.....I bought the jeep used (like maybe a year old) with 14,--- miles on it...now have about 52,--- miles on it....all street driving, no off road driving..has happened from the beginning when I bought it...
When filling gas in nj the gas almost always spits out before the tank is full. Since this is nj, by law this has full service, so these are professionals that are filling the gas, not me. This is a very dangerous problem that needs to be addressed.
While fueling my jeep, fuel came spewing from the filler neck before the pump shut off. This caused approximately 1/8 gallon of fuel to spill on my vehicle and myself. While driving after this incident I had to pull over and get out of my vehicle as I was becoming disoriented from exposure to the fuel/fuel vapors that spilled on me. Luckily I was able to realize quickly that my level of alertness was deteriorating and was able to pull over, roll down my windows, and allow the fumes to dissipate. I feel that this is a very big safety concern that could cause a serious accident if not addressed and fixed quickly.
Every time I fill up the gas some spill outs. Fuel shut off does not work. Every time I fill up at every station.
Gas tank overflows when filling with fuel.
When fueling, gas overflows every time no matter how careful in fueling and when pump shuts off automatically it gushes out creating hazardous situation ,not to mention environmental issues.
4/2009-fuel spitting out when gassing up ( when filled, does not stop) took to dealership. States d/t bad vent valve. Installed a new tank. In 2013- started back doing the same thing and continues. I have to gauge, when I think it's filled and stop.
Gas tank valve seems to be stuck open, every time I fill up gas spills out. If it spills out when pumping, what keeps it from spilling out in a rollover or crash?
When I get gas the pump doesn't shut off and gas spills on the ground. It has happened multiple times at many different filling stations.
Every time when fueling the car, the gas tank overflows. The shut off valve is faulty. The jeep boards have many documented incidents of this occurring. The car is a 2005 but only has 20,000 miles on it. There are recalls for 2007 and newer but nothing for my car which is a 2005. The response from jeep is it is the fault of the gas. Ethanol causes the shut off valve to expand. From my perspective it's faulty engineering.
Gas erupts from fill tube when pump clicks off, spilling on side of vehicle and on ground, happens every time the pump is allowed to run until it automatically clicks off.
Gas erupts from fill tube when pump clicks off, spilling on side of vehicle and on ground. Happens whenever pump is allowed to run till it automatically clicks off.
While filling up at a gas station, the fuel pump did not "automatically shut off" and shot roughly 1/4 gallon of gasoline out on the side of the vehicle and on the ground. Thoroughly cleaned vehicle but still smelt gasoline vapors inside of the cab for 30 minutes with the window down. Did some research and found it is due to the vehicle's icv becoming stuck in the open position, which builds pressure inside of the gas tank, allowing the filler neck to fill with gasoline, and then releases the pressure which propells the gasoline out of the filler neck and onto the ground. In order to fix this problem I must replace the entire gas tank.
My contact with you today involves a fuel spit back problem during refueling on my 2005 jeep wrangler (tj). I am aware of many bulletins and recalls regarding this problem, my vehicle is included in one such bulletin however falls outside of any coverage for repair of this problem by the manufacturer. My question is; how can the manufacturer cover repairs and provide an extended or in some cases a lifetime warranty on this flaw for 2007 and 2008 vehicles and ignore all of the other model years that have the same flaw? This repair will cost me nearly one thousand dollars whereas some people get the problem resolved at no cost to them. Please help.
My 2005 jeep unlimited rubicon (tj) has overflowed fuel for years. The fuel pump continues to flow until fuel has overflowed the tank and fuel pours onto the ground. Chrysler has covered this under warranty for other year jeep wranglers. My year is not covered and the repair is over $900.00. I was told this is just a malfunction of a valve in the fuel filler pipe. And is caused from a poor design.
Every time I fill-up, gas blows out of the filler neck, about 3 to 6 oz.
When refueling, once the fuel tank is full the service station fuel supply hose nozzle clicks off, then a surge of fuel expels from the jeep fuel tank fill port splashing onto the vehicle exterior, onto myself, and onto the ground. This is a serious fire hazard. It appears to be a common problem with the jeep wrangler across many years, with no resolution to date.
Filling up my gas tank the tank overflows every time. Tried several gas stations and the same thing happened every time. Talked to other jeep wrangler owners and several of them have had the same problems.
Every time you fuel the vehicle, it overflows gas badly as the pump cuts off. This happens regardless of the pump or location that I buy fuel from. It dumps gas all over the side of the car and on the ground. Significant amount of gas spills out.
Tank overflows and sends gas flying through the air, all over the person pumping, and the ground, at every fill up.
Spits fuel every time I fill up, no matter where or how slowly I fill it. 3-5 ounces of fuel spit back out every fill up, on first auto shut off occasionally fuel is expelled forcefully enough to splash on objects18-24 inches away.
