I was filling up my 06 jeep wrangler and I got sprayed with fuel on my body, jeep and ground. The problem has happened every time I try to fill my tank up to full. Im concerned that static electricity might ignite this, myself or another human being. Jeep/ chrysler refuses to fix this on my jeep. The same exact same thing was happening to my wife's 07 chrysler aspen and it was recalled and fixed. We bought both vehicles new and they have never been wrecked. Jeep/ chrysler are risking peoples lives with this issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. While refueling the vehicle, the contact noticed that fuel began to spill out of the filler neck. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
Every jeep owner I have talked to has a filling splash-back problem when filling their gas tank. Why hasn't there been a recall on all the jeeps and other models with this same problem.. Get going on this it is not an isolated problem. All jeeps,,,,, can you read ? All are having this problem... Big safety and health issue. Not one place but here did I find to list the problem as a safety issue. Too many sitting on their backsides and doing nothing on this safety issue. Read between the lines and get going. A very disgruntled tax payer and owner of a faulty product that is un-safe and un-healthy with nothing being done about it. Get my drift?.....
Every time I fill up my wrangler, it burps out fuel. This happens regardless of the speed of flow the gas( I have had this issue when slowly filling up as well as when the pump is engaged and "locked" on too. It is ridiculous that fuel spills every time I have to get some.
Every time I fill up the tank, fuel is ejected from the filler hose and goes all over the side of the jeep and the ground and usually myself. The auto-shut off works on the pumps but fuel still comes out. I've tried using "half throttle" on the pump but still have the same problem. I've looked through many jeep forums and it appears there is a fairly large range of wranglers throughout different model years that have this issue. How has this not been a recall? This can't be safe to have fuel shooting out every time you fill up.
Gas spill out when fueling to now will not take gas at all without major spillage.
More than half of the times I fill the fuel tank, the filler nozzle does not shut off, spraying fuel outside the vehicle.
When refueling the vehicle, the gas tank overflows and spills a lot of gas. Initially thought it was the pump, however, it happens at every gas station. This seems to be a significant safety hazard and someone could get hurt.
When I fill up fuel tank, as I get close to full, gas spits out of tank, also happens if I relaease fuel pump handle. Have had tank replaced. Work ok for about a year, now it spits gas again.
Since new every gas fill burbs gas back out of the filler hose on to rear fender and ground.
When fueling vehicle, at about 7/8 full point, gas sprayed out of fuel neck onto me. Then cut off on the pump never engaged. Has happened numerous times.
During refueling gasoline spits back out of the fuel filler tube neck at the end of the fill onto the ground and the person refueling the jeep if holding the nozzle.

When filling the gas tank a significant amount of gas spills out simultaneous with the first shut-off of the gasoline pump. Multiple different pumps at multiple different gas stations of multiple different brands do it consistently -- I can no longer rember the last time this did not happen. Manually slowing the delivery rate down to 1% of the normal delivery rate as the tank approaches full can reduce, but only sometimes eliminate the condition. I believe this is an environmental hazard due to the spilled gas. I believe this is a fire risk, as well as a risk to personal property from the splashing gas. I'm told that this is due to a bad valve in the fuel tank that was designed to stop this condition, but that valve sticks. My vehicle has never had any gas over 10% ethanol (unless some gas stations.. Well, you know), and certainly not often (unless, of course, gas stations lie a lot).
Every time I fill up my gas tank , the vehicle doesn't detect when it's full and spits gas up all over the car and myself. This is very dangerous as fuel also ends up all over the ground. Please help!
Everytime I fill up my jeep wrangler gas shoots out and spills all over my fender and ground, I have never had any car do this ever and I know it's a defect that jeep is aware of and won't fix them under warranty which they should.
When fueling up, many times the fuel pump will shut off and the fuel will spill out of the filler neck. I've tried slowing down the flow of fuel just prior to a full tank with no change. It happens a lot, but not every time. I've tried angling my vehicle with the filler neck down hill and up but it randomly spills fuel. I've tried waiting once coming to a stop prior to turning off the engine with no rhyme or reason to when it will spill fuel.
When filling my gas tank at any gas station, the gas spills (or actually shoots out) out. This is a serious safety and environmental issue. I just took it to the shop after getting gas all over me. I spent $100 on diagnostics. I have heard that this is a known problem and jeep/chrysler is too cheap to cover it by recall. I've heard of a group that is talking to tort attorneys so I will look into that next.
Every time I fill up the fuel tank at the gas station (any gas station) the gas overflows and spills out on the ground.
This started in october 2011 with my 2006 jeep wrangler. When I put gas in the tank, as soon as its full and the pump shuts off, gas bursts out of the tank all over the jeep, the ground, everywhere. This is certainly a safety issue, along with an environmental issue! I'm hearing about so many jeeps that are doing this. Why is there no recall? I'm having it looked at by my local jeep dealer, but so far they said chrysler is aware of this but has "no fix" on this situation.
Every fuel fill up the gas burps back up the fill hose and all over the side of the jeep and onto the ground. It will do this even when filling as slow as possible. This is not only annoying but of course wastes gas and creates a fire hazard and environmental contamination. Several other jeep owners around here say their wranglers do the same thing.
Fuel spray/overflow when refueling. This could be very dangerous! When refueling, there was significant blowback or a very heavy mist which saturated my shirt and pants with gas. Fuel then began to run down the side of my jeep, onto the ground. This occurred simultaneously with the auto shutoff function of the pump.
When filling vehicle gasoline sprays out of the tank in large amounts. It sprays out with such force it will cover your legs if you are standing near by.
Whenever I add gasoline (from any station), a considerable amount of fuel will slosh back out of the filler right before the pump kicks off. Checking with the dealer and other sources, it's a known problem. However, jeep is only concerned with fixing the 2007 and newer jk models. Their fix for those models is an extension of the warranty. My other sources say that it's rampant in years prior as well. The dealer service manager says it's the "rollover valve" that goes bad. The valve isn't repairable. The entire fuel tank needs replaced.
When filling the gas tank every time the fuel sprays out of the filler nozzle before the pump can auto shutoff. Every time - this causes gas to leak down the side of the vehicle, on me before I learned to get out of the way and all over the ground. The only way to stop this from happening is to not fill up all the way with gas. Otherwise it does this every single fill up.
All of the sudden my jeep started taking for ever to fill and shoots gas out all over me and the ground... I have to stand a there and barely let the gas trickle into the tank and I cannot even set it on the lowest lever for handle it takes me about 20 min to put 40.00 dollars worth of gas in it,,,, the dealer said there is no recall for this and was not covered under the emissions warranty... They also told me to check fuel filler pipe for obstructions and to pull our my vapor canister and clean it.... I did both and it didn't fix a thing..im also understanding that there are hundreds of people having this problem..... I worked for chrysler dealerships for years and really don't understand why they wont take any actions.... I bought this jeep brand new from where I was working at... It was my dream vehicle... Now im not so sure...
When adding fuel to the 2006 jeep wrangler either with an automatic shut off pump or by hand the fuel over sprays out of the nozzle hole when the tank becomes full. This happens at any speed you add fuel spilling gas all over the side of the vehicle, on the person adding the fuel, and all over the ground at the gas station. This most likely is caused but vacuum pressure not being released correctly by the fuel inlet hose and would be a design and manufacture flaw.
Every time you fill the vehicle up with gas, gas comes pouring out of the filler opening. This happens on all types of gas pumps. Something is wrong with the tank of venting system because the pumps never automatically shut off when the tank is full. Gas spills all over the side of the car. Many other jeep owners have this same problem.
Gas tank over flow every time I fill my wrangler unlimited with gas. Jeep says only 07 and 08 are recalled not 06.they don't think a quart of gas all over the jeep and the ground, hello, is a problem, wow unreal. Maybe e.p.a should care. Apparently all 05 an 06 wranglers were not recalled outrageous!!! Jeep and the e.p.a should care a lot more about our environment!! Its disgusting and something has to be done about it. Ps I bought my jeep used previous owner never told me about the problem but from what I read all do the same.
Gas still out when filling up gas tank. The system doesn't stop at gas pumps all other cars ever driven. Gas always stills out before it stops the pump. This occurs at all pumps and appears to be a common and ongoing issue with jeep owners.
Fuel sprays out of filler neck when refueling the vehicle.
