I bought the jeep in july of 2013. Every time I fill the tank the fuel spills out on the ground, me, and the jeep's body. This happens at every station, every time. I have taken to mathematically figuring out the amount of fuel I need to add to the tank at each fill up so it doesn't fill, but if I'm wrong it spills out all over me!
2007 Jeep Wrangler fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 5: complaints 41 to 70 of 114, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When filling tank the auto cutofff does not work on tank and fuel overflows and spills/sprays.
Gas tank spillover. The gas tank does not trigger the gas pump at the station to stop. I cannot fill my tank without having gas spill out or overflow. I don't recall when I first noticed it happening but approximately 1 year ago or a little more is when I recall. I think it is a safety hazard when it keeps spilling out.
Fuel does not shutoff automatically until fuel overflows. Spills all over the side of the vehicle and on the ground.
I have a 4dr 2007 jeep wrangler sahara unlimited. 60k+ miles and no matter what gas station or what position I place the nozzle into the gas port when the tank fills it will shoot gas out all down the side of my jeep onto the ground and on myself.
Fuel back flows out of the fuel filler neck at gas stations when full, no matter how slow I run the nozzle. Chrysler has determined that my build date is before their tsb, so it is not covered. My solution is to stuff paper towels at the nozzle during every fill, which soaks up the excess fuel spillage. Not very friendly to the environment, but if it is ok with chrysler, then I guess it is ok with me.
First occurrence dec 6th 2012, backing out of an inclined driveway. Vehicle seemed as if it had no power, stalled, spitting and sputtering like it was starving for gas. Finally got it out of the driveway and was about 15 miles from closest jeep dealership in ocala fl, and nursed it there, spitting and sputtering and stalling the whole trip. Left it overnight and got a call the next day where they had found the problem and a couple of other things wrong (unrelated to the problem) I approved the fixes and after $677.00 later drove off the lot. The only thing I can see on the invoice that would have caused the original problem is a line that reads "cleaner-fuelsystem" and has a $59.00 part and a $106.00 labor charge. On january 13th 2013 it starts acting up again. I take it back to same dealership the next day and complain that I'm not going to come in every month and pay a $90.00 diagnostics fee for something they said was fixed. So they plug it in and the code tells them I was running "lean" however they have no idea this time what's wrong. And of course it's not doing it so they "can't fix what's not broke". Between jan and july it has done this many times, in the beginning it was once or twice a month but now will do it almost every trip. When it stalls completely I loose ps & pb, very dangerous. It now stalls at speeds of around 50 MPH and I just have to pull onto shoulder to restart. Sometimes it restarts right away and other times I have to sit a short bit. It seems to be related to longer trips, 1-2 hours. But sometimes will happen after being on the road for 15 minutes. The stalling at 50 MPH and loosing ps & pb is the most concerning in traffic.
This has now happened several times at several different locations when fueling that the pump will stop and then within seconds afterwards gasoline shoots out all over the vehicle the ground and whomever is pumping the fuel. This is very frustrating and dangerous.
Bought 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited x in april 2010. 2 months later while filling it up at the gas station the gas came pouring back out. I thought pump was broken actually informed clerk. Happened again 3 fill-ups later. Around that time started having a shimmy in front end. Brought it back to dealer on several occasions. Was told they never heard of gas coming back out I must be doing something wrong and the shimmy was "normal" for jeeps. Been having major issues with this truck it has been in the shop more than any vehicle I have ever owned. I've only bought used. I've had to have the 02 sensors changed 4 times. I have my tires balanced several times. My tires rotated. Alignments, etc. I have also replaced the steering damper. Fast forward to 2013. Shimmy is so bad I almost took out another driver. Thankfully I'm a commercially trained driver otherwise it could have ended badly. Still have gas pouring out every fill up. 02 sensors still keep crapping out. Head gaskets had to be replaced already. I finally had enough and told dealer they need to fix no more games and I find out about the tsb for the steering damper. Then I also have to be told that my main rear oil seal is now leaking and my tranny coolant lines are leaking??? Oh and was told that all this was normal for jeeps as well???? Really!!!!! The truck only has 66k miles on it. It's all original no lift kits, no off roading, nothing.... This is bull... For the amount of money I paid for this vehicle somebody should be doing something. I find his site and lo and behold... I'm not the only one... Unbelievable!!!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that when driving over a pot hole or any uneven road surface, the front end of the vehicle would shake violently. The failure recurred when the contact was traveling 45 MPH or above. The contact would have to stop driving momentarily in order to stop the shaking failure. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where the steering shock was replaced, but did not correct the failure. The contact also stated that when the vehicle was filled with gasoline, fuel would spill out of the tank. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 67,000.
When fueling vehicle, fuel spits back and overflows every time nearing full tank. Also sets check engine light p0440. Potential fire hazard.
When filling the jeep with fuel it overflows instead of "stopping" it in time. Fuel flows out all over the side of the jeep and onto the ground.
Every time I pump gas now, the pump will stop and then discharge a fairly large amount of gas. Probably around a half gallon. I feel that with these discharge of gas being every time I fill up is a safety issue and needs to be looked in to. If there is ever a spark when it discharges it will indefinitely cause a fire that has the likely hood of causing injury or death to me and whoever else is around when it happens. Also, I know that it is not only my jeep that is having the problem. My friends jeep does the same thing. He told me that one time the pump did not stop and gas was shooting from his gas tank.
When filling my jeep wrangler jk model x with gasoline, using multiple gas pumps from many different companies, it fills all the way to the top and spills over out of the jeep. This happens every time I fill up.
When filling the fuel tank, fuel will overflow out of the filling tube, thus causing several ounces of fuel to spill out. Thus coating the side of my jeep as well as the group with highly flammable gasoline. It doesn't seem to matter how fast or slow the tank is filled, it overflows every time. Gas also contains aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (btex) these chemicals are harmful to both humans and the environment.
The vehicle routinely spills large quantities of gasoline whenever it is filled with gas. This does not include "topping off" but occurs whenever the tank is filled until the pump handle automatically stops at any station in multiple states and every single time.
Every time I fill my 2007 jeep wrangler up at the gas station I get a huge explosion of gas that shoots out of the fueling area toward me when my tank reaches full and the pump clicks off. It is extremely dangerous because it spews at a high rate toward my face.
When filling the fuel tank fuel shoots out of dill nozzle.
About one second after the pump shuts off automatically 6 to 8oz of fuel is expelled out of the vehicle running out all over the car and ground. Was found to be faulty inlet check valve on wranglers manufactured between 03/01/07 and 03/31/08. My vehicle was manufactured on 11/08/06 but I am experiencing the same problem. Jeep refuses to rectify the problem as my manufacture date is out of the specified date range. I believe it should be expanded as I have read about many other jeeps having this same problem. This problem is a dangerous safety concern that should be repaired at the cost of the manufacturer because of a defective part.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that the fuel tank overflowed a quarter of a tank whenever he refueled. The dealer was notified and stated that there were no recalls addressing the failure. The contact was informed that they were extending the warranties on other vehicles, but his vehicle was not included. They offered no other assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000.
The fuel tank overflows when filling with gas.
Fuel splash out of filler hole, apx 1 pint. Happens every time I fill up.
While filling it with gas, it overflows and then clicks off after it has spilled enough to reach the ground. Maybe 2 cups of gas goes all over the body of the vehicle, and onto the ground. I can hear air pressure sometimes just before it spurts gas, but not soon enough to prevent the spill. This condition happens every time it is filled now.
While filling up fuel tank to full and using the automatic shutoff supplied by all fuel stations the gas will overflow out of the filler neck for 1-2 seconds before actually stopping the flow of the fuel.
Every time that I fill my vehicle up with fuel it overflows and spills all over the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. At first, I just thought it was the pumps at the gas station I normally go to, but recently I've started to go to a new gas station and the same thing is happening. What finally brought it to my attention was that I was filling up, and someone with the same year (2007) jeep was getting gas right next to me and the same thing happened to him. I know 2 other people with jeep wranglers and theirs are doing the same thing. I'd be willing to bet most have this problem. It's not only bad for the environment, it's a dangerous situation as well.
Cpsc#i1230153a. 2007 jeep jk wrangler. Consumer stated that everytime he puts fuel in his vehicle approximately .5 to 1 quarts of fuel spits back out. *ln cpsc:
While filling up with gas the jeep will shoot approx. 1/2 gl. Of gas back out the filler neck. At first I thought it was an isolated incident. Now over the coarse of two years it happens everytime at fill up. My wife and myself have been sprayed by gas that has shot back out. Jeep has placed a tsb/recall on certain build dates but my build date does not fall within those dates. *tr
All complete fills of gas in the tank creates a spillover. Need to be very careful when it nears full otherwise a minimum of a cup of fuel spills. The shutoff on the pump is not recognized. Happens at all gas stations. Notice numerous other postings on the internet with similar issues.
My wrangler was manufactured 2/07- I purchased it used in 2/12. Every time I fill the tank, gas spills out immediately after the pump stops. Daimler chrysler will not acknowledge this is an issue despite hundreds of complaints from 2007-08 wrangler owners. This is obviously a safety issue and there should be a recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that fuel spilled out from the filler neck while refueling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The technician stated that the check valve in fuel tank failed and would have to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 35,500. The consumer stated the failure happened four to five times over several times, while using the auto shut off at the pump or hand filling the tank. Gas spilled out of the filler area, down the side of the vehicle onto the consumer's shoes. It was determined the check valve in the fuel tank failed. Updated 04/18/12
