Every time I fill up the fuel tank leaks during normal driving condition and especially while making turns or if parked it will leak in the parking spot as the day gets warmer. There is also a very strong fuel smell during this times and very noticeable by everyone in the jeep or around it.
2007 Jeep Wrangler fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 114, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I purchased the 2007 jeep wrangler used with 77, 000 miles on it. I now have 84500. Every single time I fill up with gas, once a week, it overflows out of the end spilling on the fender, driver side and ground. I have learned never to stand near it. Since getting soaked a few times.
Fuel spills out of fuel tankl filling port after fuel dispensing equipment automatically stops. Fuel dispensing pump safety feathers incompatible with jeep gas tank fuel filling design.this presents dangerous conditions and environmental concern with every fuel fill up regardless of gas station ran or equipment. It's almost as if fuel vilume greatly increases after gas dispenser stops fueling. More then a quarter gallon of fuel is spilled on my vehicle all over it every time I fill my vihicle,hot breaking system components and exhaust components coming in contact with liquid fuel,.forums and internet searches reflect that this problem exists on all vehicles with this fuel system design.situation captured in this video: https://youtu.be/zouvokeolo8
Gasoline overfills/overflows when filling the tank.
When ever I fill up the fuel tank it over flows or spits up gas, after the gas pump shuts off
Every time I fill tank, it overflows. I have to stand by it and listen to hear when getting close to full, so I can manually stop it or it gushes all over every time. Fed up, its dangerous with gas all over the jeep and ground. Many different gas stations, many different states, all the same.
When using a gas pump to auto-fill the tank, the pump shuts off and the tank overflows some of the fuel onto the paint on the outside of the jeep. Doesn't matter what gas station I go to, the style of nozzle, or the angle the nozzle is used at. It over fills every time.
I just bought the jeep about 3 weeks ago. I took it to the gas station and walked away to clean the windows while it was filling up. I look over and gas is spewing out all over the place. I thought it was a bad gas pump. On the next fill up, it did it again. I looked on google and I find that chrysler knows about this and has not done a recall on this. On some of their other vehicles but not this one. I am hoping that not only can you get chrysler to fix mine, but force to to do a recall before someone is killed.
When fueling the vehicle and you reach the full point it does not stop the pump. Instead it shoots fuel everywhere including on the person fueling the vehicle. At first I though it was the pump being used but this actually happens every time you fill it up.
Everyime this vehicle is fueled full at the gas pump, it will not shut off when the tank is full. This results in an overflow of gasoline, everywhere...on my hands, down the side of my vehicle and puddles on the ground. There is no warning and the only way I am able to fill the tank is by turning the engine on and watching the mileage increase on the distance to empty (dte) display on my dash.... Which is not safe to do. It occurs everytime I fill up my jeep. There is no recall to fix this issue. It's been an issue since I purchased my jeep in march 2010.
Fuel spills out of the fuel tank fill opening when filling the tank everytime. If you are near the fuel cap you will get sprayed with fuel.
When filling up my jeep wrangler the filler neck spits gasoline back onto the paint of my jeep.
When fueling the vehicle, the gas pump handle constantly shuts off! It takes an extremely long time to put fuel into the vehicle.
This vehicle frequently experiences fuel "spit-back" on filling. It was manufactured in 10/06, five months before the date in jeep's lifetime fuel tank replacement extended guaranty for spit-back. Also, the tank began leaking after every fill up. It leaked on the ground and/or with gas fumes present until the tank level got below 1/2 tank the leak source was where the fuel pump is inserted into the top of tank. The iron clamps and lock ring for the fuel pump are located in a depressed "bowl" at the top of the tank. Water accumulates and remains in the bowl causing the lock ring and clamps to rust. The rust expands and cracks the plastic that the fuel pump is made of. The repair requires replacing the fuel tank, lock ring, and fuel pump. In my opinion, this is a design or manufacturing problem and these conditions cause serious environmental and safety problems. I informed jeep (case number 30126422) on 9/15/16 and they declined to do anything. I have spent $1,019.60 on emergency and permanent repairs. Photos of the tank as it was removed from the jeep showing "the bowl" and rust, rusted clamps, and cracked fuel pump are attached. Please let me know if I can provide any further information.
Every time I fill up at the gas pump gas over flows. I'm afraid to fill up anymore while being anywhere near this thing. The gas eritates my skin and eyes. This is so wrong.
Strong smell of gas in the garage after shutting jeep off for past 3-4 years. Fuel spit issue resolved with warranty 12/2013. Gas smell after shutting jeep off continued. 09/2014 dealership pulled code p0456, "vent tube at tank broken." paid to have dealership order and install a new tank only to find the "new tank has crack at rollover valve," had to order a second replacement fuel tank, installed with no problems noted. Heavy smell of residual fuel in the garage continued to persist to the point where we have to leave the garage open to vent the fumes for fear of ignition. Could not visually identify any fuel leak. All the while have had intermittent check engine lights coming off and on pointing to emissions and fuel system. Another trip to the dealership 07/2015, pulled code p0406, stated "couldn't find anything at this time." heavy gas smell continues to get worse. 07/2016 took jeep to mechanic, pulled codes p0456 and p0486, found the fuel tank vent tube was cracked again, needed a new fuel tank and egr valve. Back to the dealership. Tank is out of warranty, have to replace the 22 month old fuel tank again. The fuel system has had consistent problems from inception. The heavy gas odor and cracked fuel tanks pose a serious life safety and environmental concern. It is only a matter of time before a vehicle and/or a residence catches fire. The continuous exposure to gas vapors alone is serious concern due to the carcinogenic nature of fuel and its vapors. After researching this issue in various jeep forums online, this does not seem to be a singular event and is actually quite common. Many jeep enthusiasts are diy'ers and are modifying/jury rigging the vent tube themselves instead of paying for a replacement tank, which means there are a lot of jeeps causing heightened emissions and pose further safety concerns that are going unreported and that you are unaware of.
Pumping gas to fill the tank always overflows. The sensor that tells the pump to shut off doesn't work causing gas to overflow all over the car, myself and the ground. What a waste of pricey gas.
Fuel spitback. When filling 2007, jeep, wrangler it always spits back out of the filler when using automatic fill on handle of gas pump. If I hand fill it and listen very carefully I can hear the fuel rising in the filler neck an stop the splashback about half of the time.
The airbag warning light comes on at random, my horn no longer works. The dealer said that it is due to a faulty clockspring assembly. I got the recall information stating that the clockspring assembly may become contaminated, but my VIN is not one that is officially recalled. I would really like this fixed as it is a show vehicle. Thank you! (the federal safety agency campaign id number: 16v290). Also, my gas always splashes out all over the side of the vehicle when it's any where near full. It doesn't trigger the gas pump to stop and splashes back at me every time I fill up for gas. Please help!
Fuel spills during normal refueling situation.
Fuel shoots out when filling gas tank. Even after having check valve replaced
The below link explains thoroughly of the issue and problem in regards to the check valve in the gas tank and the fuel overspill causes: http://www.jeepproblems.com/trends/fuel-overflow/ I do not believe my wrangler had the issue fixed and after checking the chrysler database by VIN I do not recall seeing it was a recall nor the check valve/gas tank replaced/fixed.
The fuel tank overflows every time it is filled. The system does not "click" or automatically shut off gas flow to indicate when tank is full, it simply overflows. I have tested many different gas stations and this issue occurs everytime, causing a dangerous situation for me and those around me, as well as environmental issues.
Gas tank spit back during fuel filling.
My 2007 jeep wrangler x is having problems with putting gas in the tank. It constantly overflows and spills gas all over the side. I've also seen incidents where gas has bounced out of the tank near the neck of the fuel door.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that fuel fumes emitted in and around the vehicle. After inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed a discoloration of fuel leakage on the ground. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the top of the gas ring was corroded. As a result, the fuel pump and locking ring need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 72,820.
This is the second request I am now sending. My 2007 jeep wrangler caught on fire while driving through some brush on 10/25/2014 and was a total loss. The fire department that responded concluded that it was caused by the catalytic converter as well as my insurance company. Jeep said since I already settled with my insurance company there is nothing they will do. This is the second time I am reporting this incident to you so can someone please get back to me?
When filling up with fuel at the gas station, when the tank gets near full, the fuel pump will shut off, but not until fuel spits back out of the fuel fill tube, out onto the outside of the jeep and into the ground. There is a lifetime warranty recall for jeep wranglers for this problem, that starts with vehicles manufactured after march 1, 2007. However, our vehicle was manufactured in november, 2006.
My 2007 jeep wrangler x (just purchased this past saturday 3/15/14) overflows gasoline when filling it up. It doesn't indicate like other vehicles that it's nearing full by shutting off, it keeps going and splashes out, every time you fill it.
Experience very loud and noisy exhaust manifolds, dealer found both intake manifolds to be defective and leaking , warranty repair and replaced both. #2 leak found in power steering, dealer stated leaks in lines, rack , and pump, warranty on all but the lines,#3 also found catalytic converter leak, recommend replacement (again happens to be under warranty) #4 found small hole in intermediate pipe, recommended replacement . #5 looking further dealership found cylinder head to be leaking!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes, covered under warranty. Now I am beginning to wonder about this dealership, as I have never used them before not did I but the jeep from them. .#6 tech stated some wear in all ball joints , recommended replacement . #7 found steering damper to have a leak, recommended replacement, now as anyone can se there seems to be many issues related to my 07 jk.
