Fuel pump failure by model year
What owners say
Fuel pump does not shut off when full causing about 10 ounces of fuel to spray on me and on the ground. It also drips down the paint which can cause issues down the road over time
Fuel spills out of the filler port due to incorrect engagement of the stop on fuel pump nozzles. This is due to a malfunctioning icv. The jeep has been doing this since I have owned it and the previous owner stated it did the same thing since he and his wife bought it in 2008 -when the vehicle was only two years old.
I bought my 2006 jeep wrangler rubicon new from a dealership. After about two years I started having issues with fuel spitting put of the gas filler when filling up at a gas station. This is my wife's vehicle and she compensated by not filling it full by shutting the fuel pump off before the handle would click. Over the years I have mentioned it to dealerships and repair shops and no one ever heard of it. It is at a dealership now for another issue and again I mentioned the gas spitting out of the gas neck and running down the jeep side and getting me wet. They said they know about the issue and that jeep and the federal safety agency had addressed the issue in a compromise by jeep offering an extended warranty on 2007 and 2008 models and jeep sent out communications to that effect. Since I have a 2006, I never received any notification about the fuel overflow problem, until now. I contacted jeep and they acknowledged the issue but refused to address it. This is a very dangerous problem in that not only is it damaging my paint and wheel well flares but also spilling gas on the ground creating an environmental hazard as defined and regulated by the environmental protection agency, as well as splashing onto the person filling the jeep covering them in flammable chemicals and exposing them to long-term health issues through inhalation and skin absorption as addressed by the national institutes of health.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. While refueling, the fuel pump failed to shut off and caused fuel to spew out with force and spill onto the ground. The contact stated that this was a recurring failure. The vehicle was not taken in for diagnostic testing and was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000. Updated 10/19/15
When refueling fuel tank on this vehicle the fuel pump will not shut off when fuel enters filling tube of vehicle thus causing fuel to be spilled out of the filling tube and onto exterior of vehicle, driving surface and fuel filling system including the hoses and pump(s). The fuel flow has such force that the person operating filling pump will also be sprayed with fuel on their person and clothes as well as areas mentioned previously. This causes a severe explosive environment in the proximity of static energy. I have never refueled my vehicle without the overflow happening unless I only partially filled my fuel tank, why have a 19 gallon tank if you can only use 2/3 of it? There is a sever danger of fire/explosion due to the amount of fuel that is spilled before the pump is stopped.
Fuel pump will not shut off when the tank is full resulting in gasoline spilled on the vehicle and all over the ground.
When filling gas tank, will not automatically shut off fuel pump which causes overflow every time. This is not intermittent. Causes gas to pour out on back fender of jeep and down back quarter panel. This is a known issue with many jeep owners and is posted on multiple forums.
Over fills at the fuel pump all the time.

When putting gas in my jeep using a fuel pump gas runs out all down the side of my vehicle and makes a puddle on the ground before the pump clicks off. This has been happening for over a year now. It happens every time I fill up my car unless I happen to hear how close the gas level is getting and shut the pump off on my own.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that after adding fuel to the vehicle, the fuel pump automatically shut off and fuel sprayed out of the filler neck.
