2009 Jeep Wrangler fuel system complaints

When filling my 2009 jeep wrangler with gas, the fuel overflows - often so much that it spills onto the ground. No matter how slowly or cautiously I pump the fuel, it still overflows! This has happened on multiple occasions! I have had other people fuel my vehicle to make certain it was not personal error - and it still overflows. It is my opinion that there is a malfunction in the vehicle. I have researched the matter and found that apparently I am not the only one having this issue. I ask that this be deemed a recall - and that the company pays to fix it. This malfunction could cause a fire and other issues related to gasoline exposure. It is not ethical that I can not fill my vehicle with gasoline without dealing with the extra cost, damage to my vehicle, and health risks associated with an overflow!
All three of our same like vehicles at work have same problem. After your gas just cuts off you can count a second or two and gas come flying out where you put it in. Just do a search on utube and you can see a perfect example of this. Put in something like jeep wrangler fueling. Also all three of our four door jeep 2009 wrangler right hand drive air bag lights are on. There has been a recall for this but jeep will not do anything fore us. In the meantime our airbags will not work. The recall number is 11v528000 air bags frontal. They say our ours are not part of the recall. This is crazy. What can we do. Thank you

I have a 2009 jeep wrangler and every time I fill up the gas, it spills out. Chrysler/jeep knows of the "fuel spill back during refueling" danger. Gas splashes out of tank during refueling (apparent check valve manufacturer defect). Also, possible gas spill during roll over. Chrysler issued traffic safety bulletin, dated february 11, 2011, (tsb) # 14-001-11 for extended warranty (lifetime) for jeep wranglers with 3.8l engine built between march 1, 2007 & march 31, 2008. Gas tanks being replaced. My 2009 jeep wrangler (same engine, exact same defective check valve) also, splashes gas back at you during refueling, but is not included in bulletin, due to my vehicle 'built on' date being too late. Neither gas tank nor check valve had been redesigned to make safe, as of the cut off date in bulletin. Dealer service department states that they see this problem all the time (they call it 'burping').
Fuel tank spills out every time I fill the tank.
Every time I fill up at gas station my tank overflows. Is becoming a big concern. Know of others that have the same problem.
I own a 2009 jeep wrangler 2 door model that has been having issues when I fill up my gas tank. I have seen on numerous online forums that I am not alone in this matter. When I use the pump to fill my tank it will auto shut off the pump then spew at least 2-3 cups of gasoline out of the gas intake onto the side of my vehicle, ground and on occasion myself. I have read that many have also filled a compliant so that chrysler will perform a recall while others have paid out of pocket to fix this issues. I do not feel that it is fair to have paying customers pay for an obvious design or fuel system flaw.

Gas overflows from tank through fuel filler neck as gas pump shuts off. Can happen without topping off fuel. Fuel runs down side of vehicle. Possible fire hazard ?
