HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE JEEP KNOWS ABOUT A TIPM ISSUE BUT WILL NOT FIX IT. TIPM issue. This issue is common and described across the web but is a safety hazard! The headlights will flash 3-5 times then completely shut off. Restarting the Jeep and disconnecting the battery does not help. Jeep dealer says circuit in the TIPM is the issue and that this is common! Lordy have mercy for all the vecs on the road when my headlights started flashing at them and then went out on, of course, an unlit section of the road. But the crazier part is Jeep knew this could happen and doesn't warn the customers. I sure did not know that I might be driving blind at night becoming a safety hazard. The lights then decide to not work for a few days before going back to being reliable for anywhere from weeks to months until you happen to drive at night again and bam they go out again. Luckily the runner/ fog lights are unaffected but as a primary vehicle I can not just keep taking ubers every time it is dark outside! This is such a serious safety issue to loose your lights while driving! There are two common fixes for this. One you buy the TIPM or two you buy non stock headlights and reroute them to your own switch but for most of us, buying a part that Jeep knows will break is crazy and not practical (plus WE the consumer didn't know it would) and the alternative of having to buy a different company's lights to buy pass the wiring in just crazy. It is such a serious issue I do not understand why there is no recall! I'm also so unsure if I can even pass a safety inspection anymore. Also the automatic fuel stopper does not work which is ANOTHER know glitch with the TIPM. This is okay if you know about it because you can hold the handle the whole time while filling up but you can not trust it alone. It isn't like it is all the time either. Just enough to keep you on your toes and plosion the ground with spillage. The first time is scary though.
2010 Jeep Wrangler fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 9: complaints 11 to 40 of 228, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have been dealing with the fuel shutoff problem since it was new. When the fuel is being put in the tank the fuel will not shut off. The fuel squirts back out of the tank, approx 1/2 gallon. It is a safety issue that has a recall hose on the jeep jk models which are up to model 2008 0r 2009 which has been adressed. This problem affects all jeep jk models. I have found a hose that is the replacement part but the dealer will not sell it to me saying its a recall part. I want this part so I can fix my jeep. I am a certified mercedes benx tech and want to fix it or take it to have that part put on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that the vehicle was leaking fuel during refueling. The contact spoke with the epa about the failure but received no assistance. The contact called three unknown jeep dealers however, none of the dealers offered any assistance. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 144,000.
Gas pours out when filled up and goes all over the jeep and the concrete which is a major fire hazard at gas pump
Vehicle's sensor does not tell gas pump when to stop filling with gas and sprays out onto the concrete and vehicle. Causing a major fire hazard and pollutant.
Rpm fluctuating rapidly, loss of power, then it starts a death wobble that is almost uncontrollable that is side to side. Will be driving down the highway and it happens everytime.
Fuel spills out of gas tank filler tube onto side of jeep and onto ground every time fill up tank. Wife normally drives jeep and didn't tell me when this started happening, but I think has been going on now for more than a year but she didn't investigate it online or report it to your staff. Then she went out of town few days ago and when I filled tank on 10/19/20 it overflowed a very noticeable amount of gas onto side of jeep when using automatic pump shutoff nozzle at costco. Online research indicated fca was aware of this defect in 2007-2008 jeep wranglers and tsb issued in 2011 to cover free repair of valve, but although this is the same exact problem, could not find recall or tsb for 2010 jeep wranglers. Quick check online indicates many others with jeep wranglers built after 2008 having exact same problem. Never had a vehicle do this before, but it is a serious defect and should be fixed for free under a recall or tsb, as was done with the 2007/2008 jeeps. Please let me know if you need and more info.*dt consumer stated his wife told him it's been happening for the last 10 years.
When filling gas tank gas the car doesn't recognize that it is full in time causing gas to overflow and spill on the ground.
Fuel overspills the fuel intake when filling at a standard gas pump with auto shut-off. The pump automatically stops filling, then a second later a significant amount of gas splashes back out of the intake. From reading other complains here and online, this is a common problem on jeeps of this year and around it.
When filling up for gas it does not recognize to stop. When pumping it will overflow onto the car, floor and myself. Each time having a cleanup.
When I fill up tank of gas it overflows, does not shut off pump. Gas overflows onto fender, bumper, tire and ground. This is a safety issue. Not to mention a waste of gas and smelly hands all day after cleaning gas off of fender and bumper. Have previously filed a complaint but to date no tsb or recall to address this safety issue.
My dealership refuses to honor a recall for the fuel spillback problem and wants me to pay in excess of $300 for the part and repair. This is the problem with fueling and the pump shutoff does not engage, thus overflowing and spilling gasoline out of the fuel door. This of course happens when the car is stationary. I wasn't allowed to order the mopar part number cnnnx321ac to repair the problem myself because the vendor said it can only be purchased by the dealer because it is a "recalled" part. I need to know how I can file a claim to be reimbursed if I have to pay the dealership or how I can order the part through a vendor who would allow me to purchase the part. Please respond with a solution. Thank you.
While fueling jeep, as it gets full it will splash gasoline from the fill area onto the jeep and myself. This is an ongoing problem as it happens on a regular basis and then have to clean my jeep and myself up because the gas comes out at a good force. I then smell like gasoline for the rest of the day.
Seem to have a fuel leak somewhere. Smell of gasoline from the rear of the vehicle. Especially strong when the heater is on. Strong smell even when just walking around the vehicle outside, but no obvious leak visible.
Gas spills out of filler neck after the pump clicks off. The vehicle is stationary at the gas pump.
When filling with gas, the fuel spills out all over the floor instead of cutting off automatically
Gas tank takes forever to fill, clicks every .25 gal or less and have to start refueling all over again till full, also almost always will overfill. Spoke to many jeep owners and this is common issue with jeeps. Look at message boards jeep seems aware of issues but they don't fix issue. Always fuel flat surface at gas stations and this happens at every gas station pump I've tried.
When filling my jeep with fuel, the fuel pump does not shut off quickly enough and gasoline splatters out of the tank and onto my hands, cloths, jeep and ground. This happens every time regardless where I fill up. I use qt, bp and shell stations. Some are new and some or old. This can not be a pump issue but a jeep issue.
When fueling vehicle, fuel will spill out where nozzle is and flow down side of vehicle and from a puddle of gas on the ground, it's is unknown how close fuel gets to muffler exhaust system but could potentially start a fire at the gas pumps.
I bought this jeep brand new and almost from the start when filling up at the gas station. When the tank is full the nozzle shuts off then a lot of gas comes out the fill pipe I have tried different gas stations all the same problems. I have tried going slow took almost 20 minutes to fill the gas tank and still gas come splashing out of the fill pipe. I think their is something defective in the fill pipe that doesn't trigger the shut off in the nozzle fast enough.
Gasoline splashes back when tank gets refueled while vehicle is stationary at the pump. I've experienced this issue since at least march of 2018. My mechanic suggests that this problem should be recognized as a defect necessitating a recall. Google search informs that this seems to be a common and ongoing problem for other wrangler owners as well. You'll find video's posted by others on youtube.
Gas tank overflows after auto-shutoff when filling.
Fuel spill during fill up.
Gas tank overflows every time jeep is fueled gas pours out after auto shut off
Major gas spillage after stopping the pump. Gas goes everywhere. This is seriously dangerous!
When filling the gas tank it regularly overflows if I don't manually stop the pump prior to the automatic shut off occurring when it detects a full tank. This happened at multiple gas stations of multiple brands so it's not isolated to one station or pump type. This is dangerous because fuel spills all over my car as well as the ground at the pump.
Every time I fill the gas tank it overflows. This seems to be a widespread issue.
Fuel tank leak out of evap line connection. Part is plastic and non-replaceable, requiring replacement of entire fuel tank. Appears to be common problem as fuel tank is on significant backorder (I can afford to replace tank at cost of $1000.00 for a $1.00 part failure). While fuel tank is on back order, the tank continues to leak from broken, irreplaceable plastic part.
When fueling to full, the tank almost always overfills, the safety switch on the gas pump does not trip (no matter what station I use). I must monitor it closely and guess how much fuel I need and stop the pump early.
My vehicle has an issue with fuel spilling out of the tank and on to the ground each time I fill up. I do not top off the tank nor do I use the fastest setting on the pump to deliver the fuel. It is known issue by the manufacturer and a warranty bulletin has been issued for previous model years. The manufacturer nor the dealerships take responsible action on repairing the safety and environmental issue. They instead ask consumers to front the costs and save receipts in the event a recall is issued in the future for reimbursement. I am writing this hopes that your agency will investigate and issue the recall if necessary so this problem can be fixed.
