When filling up with gas at the gas station even if I manually stop the gas flow early the gas overflows out on to the bumper and ground. Major gas spitback!
2008 Jeep Wrangler fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 140, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When I fill up the vehicle, gas flows backwards out of the filler neck and pours down the side of the vehicle onto the ground. The fuel also splashes onto me as well. I have the vehicle completely off keys out of the ignition and in park.
When fueling it overflows instead of stopping.
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.
Since 2017, every time I pump fuel into the car at gas station, the pump overflows and spills all over the side of the car, the ground and then my feet and hands because I have to step in the puddle and put the gas cap on. I moved to tn from ca in 2016 and I have been thinking that it the shell gas pumps here in tn that were causing it...as if they were old or not up to some sort of "ca standard" or something. However, after this problem just happened to my pregnant wife with our 2 year old in the car, I decided to check a jeep forum and see if anyone else is having this problem. Lo and behold, this appears to be a serious issue dating back 10 years to a 2010 forum I found. Url: https://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f176/have-fuel-spill-problems-like-many-us-submit-complaint-force-recall-974337/ this video shows exactly what happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=7&v=hae5ht-_y48&feature=emb_logo this is a serious risk of fire and safety...for not just me, but any patron at a gas station who is either there with me or drives up to my pump after me. The fumes are now on our feet and then in the car...then we go home or where and spread that gasoline fumes around everywhere we go. This is a serious safety issue and I'm very concerned why there is no recall on this given the ease to diagnose this problem with one simple google search. I'm very concerned...
When refueling at any gas station when the tank reaches a certain point the gasoline comes back out spraying over the side of vehicle and on me leaving gasoline on the ground and myself covered in gas
Fuel splash back on refueling.

After fueling the 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited x the fuel backflows alot. This seems dangerous, as in what if a fire sparks up at the gas station pump.
Gas and air spit/spill back out of fuel filler neck tube when refueling at gas station pump. Gas runs down fender/fender flare. Problem began around 55-60,000 miles. Jeep continues to give off strong gas vapor odor when parked in garage even weeks after refueling.
When filling the fuel tank at the gas station if gas pump is on high fuel backsplashes on the vehicle and onto the ground. This is a common problem amongst many jeep wrangler owners. Dealership denies any problem. You ask below when did this happen well I will list one date but it happens 50% of the time when filling the jeep up. I bought the jeep in 2011 with 40,000 miles on it and has been doing it ever since.
Fuel does not stop filling when tank is full. About a cup or two of fuel overflows before pump stops. This happens at all pumps and has been ongoing for a few weeks. Most recent date is noted.
Fueling up the jeep with the auto shut off at filling stations now causes about 2 cups of gasoline puking out the filler and onto myself , vehicle , and ground. This now happens every fill up.
When filling the fuel tank, fuel spills out of filler hole after auto-stop filler nozzle shuts off.

Every time you fuel the vehicle to gas overflows out of the fuel inlet onto the side and rear fender of the vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep wrangler. While the vehicle was being fueled, fuel exited the filler tube and spilled onto the contact and vehicle. The contact called a local dealer (stafford chrysler, jeep, dodge of springfield, 7611 loisdale rd, springfield, va 22150) and was informed that the failure may be due to the fuel tank and/or filler tube. The repair would cost $900. The contact declined to pay and believed it should be covered under a recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The failure mileage was 51,000.
When refueling the gas tank it overflows gas all over on the ground. It does not automatically shut off when tank is full.
Car at random will not start, lights will not work or radio will stop working ... Check engine light stays on without any engine issues ... To pump fuel it takes 20 minutes to fill it up you can't walk away or it will over flow ... Jeep left me sit the other day and no garage can tell me whats wrong with it... Its not the starter ...
Driver's side front seat belt latch occasionally does not latch also occasionally will not release without having to open roof pull seat belt slack all the way out and stand up in seat to get out of vehicle. Then have to hit and work with latch approximately 2-3 before it will release. If in an accident not sure if seatbelt latch will hold forces or not let you out of a possible burning car. Also fuel backflows from fill inlet at every fillip if I do not stop it before full.
Jeep is spitting back fuel during fill up. Chrysler is telling me that my jeep is not covered under the extended warranty that other 2008 jeep wranglers have now been given. I have videos of this spitback happening. (inlet check valve defect) one dealer said it was covered but chrysler says no. Have been trying to get chrysler to repair it for 2 years now.
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
Purchased this jeep in 2010. Every since I purchased it, the gas spills out from the tank when I fill it up, unless I squeeze the gas nozzle very slowly and carefully. When the gas spills out, it goes on my clothing, the jeep, and onto the ground. This is a health problem, a safety issue, and an environmental issue. Jeep should fix this for free!!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep wrangler. While the vehicle was being refueled, fuel ejected from the tank. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 200.
When fueling the gas pump isn't triggered to shut off until gas has already came out the top of the fueling neck. This causes gas to spill down the side of the vehicle and have a gas spill at the fueling station. This happens at every station I fill up at.
Air bag light is on from a defective clock spring and the vehicle still spits out gas when I fill up.
