Fuel runs out when filling up jeep at the gas pump happens every time I fill up
When filling my jeep wrangler jk 2009 gas tank it over fills when pump shuts off the spilling gas all over my 2009 jeep wrangler jk and ground.
Gas tank skid pla rusted through. Gas tank ready to fall off 2009 jeep. 88k miles and parked in garage. Pieces missing and cracked lengthwise and widthwise
When refueling the pump always stops even if empty, this makes it very hard to know if it's already full or if it's just acting up. This has been happening for a couple years now, and it happens 100% of the times I refuel. I have read in forums this is a very common issue and some years have been fixed. This is a potential fire hazard since fuel spills are very common with this problem.
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 2009 jeep wrangler. 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. This jeep wrangler x was recently purchased in november 2017 with 90, 961 miles. Started early november. I recently sold my 1997 jeep wrangler which I had driven over 178,523 miles in the 18 years of ownership never experienced this problem not even once. Initially I thought it was operator error until I read the compliants on the internet from other jeep owners and the federal safety agency website.
Constant overflow while fueling (~80% of time). I do not use anything but reg grade fuel. I do not hold the fueling hose. It does not matter if I put the hose in all the way or slightly out. It typically overflows about 1/2 to 1 pint creating a fire hazard and an environmental issue
Whenever I fill my tank up, the gas spills over onto the car, the ground, and myself. About a quart spills over so could be potentially very dangerous.
Each time I fill my jeep with gas there is a gushing of gas at the end of fill up. Each time I fill it up the jeep doesnt want to take the gas either. It was when the vehicle is stationary at a gas station.
When filling tank, fuel overflows every time. Have tried to decrease flow towards the end, but nothing seems to work. Seems like a huge safety issue with fuel spilling on every fill up.
Same issue as with 2007-2008 jeep jk fuel spits out when done fueling, no changes to fuel system so why only have a recall on 07-08 and not all jeep jk?

Fuel overflows when filling up vehicle.
Fuel spits back when fueling. This happens everything we fuel up and is creating a dangerous situation. The local jeep dealer tells me there was an extended warranty offered for 2007 and 2008 jeep wranglers but my 2009 was not included in the extended warranty.
Almost every time I fill up my jeep and use the automatic shut-off on the pump, it will shut off and then puke some gas out the filler hole and down the side of the jeep. Jeep won't cover it because it wasnt a 2007 or 2008 my with same known issue.
When filling up gas take, it does not stop automatically when full like it used to. Gas overflows out of filler tube down the side of the 2009 jeep wrangler. Issue did not start until vehicle had 65k miles on it.
Gas tank over flows everytime I fill gas tank, goes all over the side of the car, all over the ground and gets on me . It's dangerous, wasteful and is damaging the finish on the outside of vehicle. Mfg says it's not covered under any recalls. Note: happens regardless of which gas station , which setting on the pump handle or how far the gas nozzle is inserted into filler tube. Internet search shows other years have been recalled for condition.
Fuel flashes from filler neck at every fuel up. I've covered by it a few times, and had to clean up fuel at 1 station.
When fueling my 2009 jeep wrangler unlimited (sahara), gas spews back out of the tank following the auto shut off of the gas pump. This is my second fill-up since purchasing the jeep new and it has happened both time. It occurred at different gas stations so it isn't a problem with the pump or nozzle. The jeep is not properly ventilating the gas and detecting the level so as to prevent the gas blow back.
When filling fuel tank, gas back splashes and goes everywhere. It happens every time I fill fuel tank. You have to stand back or you will get it on you.
Gas sprays out of filler neck during fueling of vehicle. During fill ups gas will spray out of filler neck before the gas nozzle can shut off automatically. This results in having gas sprayed on myself, my jeep and all over the ground. This is not a safe situation.
Gas overflows every time I fill up.
Every time I fill the gas tank up the gas pump shuts off and all the gas in the filler neck comes back out all over me , the jeep and all over the ground.
Fuel spurts out of gas tank all over after gas nozzle is removed when getting gas. Vehicle has trouble starting and feels like it is going to stall out at all speeds.
It started more than a year ago. Everytime I fill my tank it overflows gas everywhere. It does not stop automatically like it should. Gas flows all over the ground and not just a little bit. I know there was a recall for 2008 jeeps but I feel it has affected 2009 jeeps and newer. I read about this problem on jeep forums all the time. My dealer said they will not fix it.
I'm sure you're aware that this is an ongoing problem with jeep wrangler years 2007, 08 and 09 where upon filling up the tank and once it reaches the top, instead of the pump clicking off, fuel (a lot of it) spits out of the tank and all over the bumper and the ground. To chrysler's credit, if you complain, they will reimburse you for the repairs but it is tedious and often times, people can't afford the money up front so chrysler wins by attrition especially since they weren't forced to have a recall. I understand that the federal safety agency has closed this issue but it is bad. How would you like to have fuel pouring out of your vehicle and onto your shoes, car and the ground, every time you filled up? My next step is to report it to the epa for certainly, fuel spills of this magnitude cannot be legal. If at all possible, can you re-address this for the inevitability is that a 'perfect storm' scenario will occur and while fuel spewing problem is happening, static electricity from the consumer could ignite it or even some careless and unsafe smoker is too close.

Vehicle will spit back fuel when performing a fill up (at time of filling.). The fuel forcefully shoots out of the refuiling access point. Amount of fuel that spits back is condiderable (the better of a pint;) enough to cover the side of the vehicle, the rear bumper (as well as on myself) and will leave a considerable amount of fuel on the pavement at the gas station. I will point out that I never top off the tank. I simply fill until the fuel nozzle stops - a normal way of fueling. The "spit back" occurs within 1-2 seconds after fueiling is completed. I have checked with chrysler, and this is a known issue. In fact, a tsb (14-001-11) as well as a warranty extension was issued for this problem, but the the extension was only issued for 2007 and 2008 models. My model (2009) is the same vehicle, however, I am not being afforded (by chrysler) the same consideration simply due to the fact that my model year exceeds 2008. I view this as a major safety issue, especially given the fact that I at many times, I have my children in the vehicl when I need to fuel up. I truly feel this problem has not been rectified for the 2009 model year, and further believe that I should be afforded the same benefit to have this fixed at no charge - as I am experiencing the identical issue. Again, this should be addressed as it really is a safety issue. Please note that I selected that there was an "injury" due to the fact that I had been covered in gasoline, which is known to be toxic. -thank you for your help/consideration. I welcome a call to discuss further or if I can provide any more info to help.
When putting gas in the tank, gasoline sprays out of the filler tube and splashes gas on me, the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. This occurs everytime I fill the tank. I have tried different gas stations and the problem still occurs. The first couple of times this happened, gasoline had sprayed out of the filler tube and onto me and my clothes. Now when I fill the tank, I must stand upwind and away from the filler tube to avoid getting sprayed with gas. This problem needs to be addressed! The same defect was reported in the 2007 & 2008 jeeps. It would appear that the same defect is now being reported multiple times for the 2009 model. Gasoline that is sprayed onto people and the ground is a fire hazard! I refuse to let my wife and kids put gas in the jeep, in fear that they will be soaked in gasoline. I have contacted my local jeep dealership and was told that no recall and no safety bulletins have been issued for the 2009 model. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
