Fuel tank consistently overfills. Problems causes gasoline to overfill the tank and flow down the side of the vehicle and collect in a pool. This problem initially started slowly but now occurs consistently at all gasoline stations. Based on other jeep wrangler owners experience this appears to be a common problem that should be corrected by the manufacturer.

Fuel overflow while filling up the tank.
2006 jeep wrangler. Gas tank fillup, at any gas station, results in tank overflow. Burps out up to 1/4 gallon of gas before pump stops. This is a well known and common problem for all jeep wranglers, most model years. Happens every time I fill up, not just occasionally.
Gas overflows and spills over out of the filler neck during fill-up.
Everything I fill up my 2006 wrangler with gas, it overflows out of the filler neck all over the jeep and sometimes on me.
On my 2006 jeep wrangler sport, the gas tank overflows fuel every single time I have to refill the tank. The tank apparently does not vent properly, which causes the auto-shut-off feature on gas pumps to fail until the tank overflows, spitting gasoline out (over a foot from the side of the vehicle at times), hitting the individual filling up the tank and making a mess of the side of the vehicle. This fuel overflow issue occurs 100% of the time. Upon speaking with the dealership, I was told that they will not warranty this, but that it is a "common" problem among 1997-present wranglers. Chrysler issued a recall for this problem on 2007-later wrangler, but refuses to take responsibility for the 2006 and older models. Reviewing both local and national jeep internet forums, I have seen forum threads on this topic with literally hundreds of 1997-2006 jeep wrangler owners claiming the same problem as I am having with my 2006 wrangler. The cost to replace the fuel tank, the only solution, is at a cost of $1100-$1200. This is a very serious problem and needs to be addressed immediately. To date, I have not had any personal injury or damage, as asked below, but that is only a matter of time!

I recently purchased a 2006 jeep wrangler with 37,000 miles. When filling the gas tank on my jeep the fuel will not stop flow when the tank is full. Instead gas spews out of the filler every time I refuel, resulting in a significant loss of fuel. This happens every time I refuel and occurs at different gas stations. After reading multiple complaints regarding the same issue on the internet suggesting that it is a problem with the jeep itself, I wanted to report this event.

I own a 2006 jeep wrangler. Many times when I fill the gas tank the fuel does not shut off and spills fuel on the vehicle and ground.
My 2006 jeep wrangler spits gasoline out at me when filling the vehicle! It always happens when nearing full, no matter what I do to try to avoid it from happening. Sometimes it spits forcefully, hard enough to get gasoline on me, sometimes it's just a minor spit that just dribbles down the vehicle. Either way, it occurs every time I attempt to fill the tank to full. I have resorted to only putting 10 gallons of gasoline in at a time, and only if the fuel gauge reads below 1/4, to ensure I don't have to experience the gasoline spit-back. No parts have been replaced or repaired yet.
