When filling jeep wrangler, the automatic fuel shutoff feature of pump does not work, and gas sprays out briefly before shutting off, spilling on vehicle, operator, and ground. I have had tank replaced by dealer at 50,000 miles, cost of $350 to me. I understand that you have closed the investigation into this, and if so, you are truly incompetent idiots (I'm sorry, but come on). This is a defective product with safety and environmental negative impact! Even though I have replaced my tank at some personal expense, I believe that it is with the same product, and I fully expect it to fail again in the future. Wouldn't you expect a modern vehicle, even a "simple" one to be able to fill without getting gas on yourself, the vehicle, and the ground?!!! Please consider re-opening the case; the idea that the internet created this problem is ridiculous.
2006 Jeep Wrangler fuel system complaints
Page 11 of 17: complaints 281 to 310 of 479, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Gas spews out of the filler tube just before the tank reaches full and the pump shuts off. This problem did not appear until I owned the vehicle for over a year and now happens at every fill up.
Fuel spills out each time I fill my tank. Fuel pump kicks off as designed, but is followed by 2-3 cups of gas spilling out with force that covers the pump handle, side of vehicle, ground under vehicle, and anyone standing too close.
Fuel overfills and spills when fueling.
When filling the gas tank in my 2006 jeep wrangler tj, the fuel overflows and spills/splashes all over the side of the vehicle, and ground. Jeep knows about this issue but refuses to do anything about it.
Nothing leading up to it. It happens every time I fill the gas tank. It overflows all over the ground. It has happened since I bought my jeep brand new in 2006. I have done nothing to fix it except never actually fill it all the way I usually stop about a gallon or two short. But sometimes don't let go of the pump in time and it still overflows.
Fuel spills out of fill tube, after pump shuts off.
Fuel spills out at every time I fill up.
2006 rubicon with 40k miles. Fuel sprays out from the gasoline fill tube and runs down the outside of the vehicle onto the pavement every time the vehicle is refueled. The dealership says the fuel tank must be replaced to correct the issue. It doesn't make sense to pay for a new fuel tank with the same defect. This is apparently a widespread issue and should be recalled.
Gasoline splash back from filler neck when filling tank. This occurs every time tank is filled.
I have a 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited, and almost every time I fill up the gas tank it overflows, often spraying a significant amount of fuel before the pump shuts off. This did not happen when it was new, but has been happening off and on, getting progressively worse, for the past 3 years. I believe this presents both a fire hazard and an environmental hazard, and I know that many other wrangler owners have observed the same problem.
Fuel spills out during regular pumping at gas station. This happens during the end of the pumping when the tank is almost full. Gasoline will shoot out of the filler spout and onto the ground.
Fuel always spews out of tank when filling up. Will not activate pump auto-shut-off. Extremely dangerous condition!
Everytime I fill up the jeep with fuel, it shuts off the pump, then overflows fuel onto the side of the jeep and onto the ground.
1. Refilling fuel tank. 2. Once tank is full and pump handle turns off; a surge of fuel is spit out of the fuel filler, onto the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. This happens every time I refill the tank. 3. No corrective action has been taken.
Fuel spits out of tank when filling no matter how you fill tank . Will spit fuel on ground on auto fill or manual fill any station. Have had fuel on my shoes at times must stand back around corner of jeep.
Every time I fill up my 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited gas comes spilling back out as the pump cuts off. This started happening this fall and has continued every since. Fuel gets all over the side of the jeep, the ground and when not standing clear on my clothes and shoes. This needs to be investigated before someone gets hurt.
At every fill up on my 2006 wrangler rubicon gas spits back out once it's full and about a 1/2 gallon of gas spills everywhere after the automatic stop function on the pumps clicks off.
I have a 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited 2 door that every time I fill the gas tank up at the pump it releases a substanitial amount of gasoline through the inlet as it is turning the pump off. This occurs every time I fill my tank and is very dangerous seeing as I get fuel on my skin and then have to get in the vehicle w/ my 4year old daughter. I am not sure what to do to correct the failure.
When filling up my 2006 jeep wrangler rubicon gas will spray out on initial shut off of the gas pump. I've had this problem looked at, but was told it was normal for that to happen from time to time. Then, I complained to jeep and they allowed the dealership to switch out tanks because my jeep was under warranty. This was only a temporary fix...gas still sprays out!!!
Jeep spills out large amount of gasoline every time it is filled up.
Every time I fill up my gas tank, it will overflow and leak gas all over the ground and along the side of the car.
Fuel overflows after nozzle cuts off when filling gas tank.
When refueling our jeep the pump does not shut off in time spraying fuel all over the side of the vehicle and ground. To fix this the dealer wants to replace the fuel tank. This is a very common across the board chrysler problem that they are not owning up to.
Gasoline overflows every time when filling tank on 2006 jeep wrangler. It is ridiculous that this dangerous issue has not been resolved.
The fuel filler neck/gas tank on my 2006 jeep wrangler has filling problems. Any time I go to fill up on gas the pump does not click off in time and gas literally shoots out of the filler neck all over the bumper of the jeep and on the ground. I haven't tried to measure the volume of gas that shoots out each time, but I would estimate at least 6-8oz of fuel.
During fueling, when the fuel pump nozzle automatically stops the flow of gasoline , fuel surges back through the filler tube and vigorously splashes out on the side of the vehicle and anything or person within 2 to 3 feet of the fuel filler. This occurs every time the fuel tank is filled and has drenched the person filling the vehicle from the waist down with gasoline on two occasions. Has spilled fuel on every fillup (at least one cup), despite precautions (slowing filling rate). Manufacturer and dealer have done nothing to correct this problem, this happens almost every time I fill up.
Fuel spills out on me and surrounding area when filling the gas tank. This event happens every time I fill the tank. I cannot use the automatic fuel shutoff on the fuel nozzles as gas is spilled (about .5 cup) on the surrounding area. This is a fire hazard.
When refueling the vehicle, gasoline is spit back out of the filler neck when the automatic shutoff releases and the tank is full. If the filler nozzle has splash guard, spilled fuel runs down the side of the vehicle on to the ground. Otherwise fuel is shot out up to 5 feet and cover anything or anybody within the radius of the spill. No remedy found, it always happens.
When filling up my gas tank, fuel blows out of the (gas fill up opening) when...it almost reaches full (about 6 gallons to go). In the last year it done this about 15 times.
