When filling up at the gas station, the fuel pump will kick off and a second later gas comes flying out of the tank and hits me, my jeep and goes all over the ground.

Vehicle was stationary at fuel pump with the fuel tank half full. Began refueling and had an immediate back splash /spewing of fuel. Estimate at least a half gallon was spilled onto the vehicle, the ground and on my person.

Gas overflows and spills out during every fueling. I think it is an inlet check valve issue. Gas tank also leaks gas around the fuel pump seal. Smells like gas outside the vehicle

I was traveling down the highway and was coming up to a stop light and the vehicle died out. I was able to get the vehicle started and shortly after that, I was traveling down the highway again and while I was speeding up to about 55 MPH the vehicle shut down again and I was barely able to get away from the traffic around me and get the vehicle pulled over to the side of the roadway. I attempted restarted the vehicle and it could not get the vehicle to restart, luckily I work on vehicles myself and determined that the problem was a fuel pump issue. I tapped on the fuel tank, got the vehicle started and was able to drive me and my family all the way back home, but the vehicle was driving rough and no lights came on indicating I had a problem, before or after. I will get the vehicle tested on to see what would have caused it. After reading a great number of these complaints, the problem seems to point at and is clearly indicating it is the fuel pump!! We were very lucky that the vehicle didn't explode because the fuel pump wires have a tendency to melted on the fuel pump. I doubt ford would pay for this fuel pump failure it seems to be a common problem when you look on-line.

Gas cap sensor light on. When filling the tank with gas, the automatic shut off at the pump clicks off, then within 5/10 seconds the gas starts to surge out of the tank all down the jeep, over the ground, over me. The gas tank and assembly was replaced 3 times in 2011 while still under warranty because the problem kept coming back. The same problem started again 2013. We called the dealer and found that it is covered under an unlimited miles unlimited months extended warranty. Glad we called because we didn't get any notice of this extended coverage in the mail. A separate issue began in 2012 with some leakage of gas under the vehicle and an odor of gas outside the car if the tank was filled up all the way. Since the warranty had expired, our personal mechanic handled it. He replaced a hose that was attached to the fuel tank (the same gas cap sensor light was on for this problem too). He also tightened the fuel pump at the tank where the gas was leaking from and he found a crack in the tank which he patched. This fixed the odor and leaking of gas from under the jeep. If this problem happens again in the future, now knowing about the extended warranty with the other problem, we will contact the dealer about it to see if it is covered too as it is gas tank related. Note - it was right after our mechanic fixed the odor and under car leak that the other problem of the gas surging out of the pump started again.

Very often, when I fill up my gas tank, it spits gas out. Sometimes, the gas sprays out so far that it wets my clothing, the fuel pump stand, and the surrounding area. I am concerned that this can one day cause a fire and is a health and environmental hazard. I have tried to pump at different pumps and at different speeds but the problem persists.

When I fill the gas tank it will over flow at the filler neck. When the fuel pump cuts off there is air pressure that will force the gas out when the tank is filled. I have used different stations with the same results. This is a fire hazard.
