Using fuel pump auto shut off results in tank overfilling
2010 Jeep Wrangler fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 9: complaints 41 to 70 of 228, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Every time I fill my gas tank, I spill a lot of gas out the fill neck. It occurs no matter how slow or fast I fill. It spit gas out almost like it's burping. I have researched this problem and it is a very common problem.
Every time I fill the gas tank, gas splashes back onto the pavement (or my clothing if I am standing near the fill pipe). This is a well known, and dangerous, problem that jeep owners are aware of (per the on-line forums). I understand that there was a recall or service bulletin related to earlier models of jeep wranglers. Two dealers I went to deny any knowledge of this problem with 2010 wranglers. On-line forums indicate that this is a continuing problem on newer wranglers and that dealers are charging $200 - $600 to fix the problem when a simple solution for many owners has been to personally install part cnnnx321ac ($40.00) which is a replacement fuel fill tube that has some sort of mechanism in it to prevent splash back. I installed this part and it solved the problem. The dealers I went to said they were not aware of this fix. I think that chrysler should be paying for this fix. Instead they are denying that there continues to be a problem on the newer vehicles. I can't emphasize enough how dangerous this problem is.
When I fill my tank and the nozzle shuts off a significant amount of gas spews out of the fill hole
When filling the gas tank in my 2010 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara it overflows pouring gas back out of the filler once the pump has stopped. Did some research and this seems to be a common problem.
I currently own a 2010 jeep wrangler unlimited sport. Every time I fill up that gas tank it over flows. I have never had this issue in any other car I've owned. I go to the gas station to fill up my tank and I sit in my car while it fills up and when it's full I get out of my car and every time there is gas all over my jeep and on the ground as well. I asked around and many other jeep owners have the same issue. I want to know what is causing this to happen and how it can be fixed. I won't even get out of my car until my tank is full because it spray everywhere. Please someone fix this issue we are having
Every time adding fuel blowback occurs spraying fuel over the car and 2-3 feet proximity. There is an existing recall for this for model year 2007-2008
Fuel filler overflows fuel during vehicle fueling. This occurs when filling tank until pump clicks off for the first time.
Fueling cut-off is not functioning. No matter what fuel station I use the vehicle fuel spits out of the fuel tank opening. I have went to pumping manually as slow as possible and the opening still spits fuel out once tank is full. This has been occurring for the last year. In the beginning, I could slow the flow and it would kick off without mess, but now no matter how slow it flows it spits fuel out onto the ground. The date below is the latest time it has happened.
Fuel spills out when refueling vehicle. Nozzle auto shuts off then fuel spurts out. No idea why, have not changed type of fuel being used although it is now winter in spokane so the formulation may have changed, don't know. It is a dangerous situation.
I have had my jeep for about six months now, and within the last month, it began spewing excess gas for a second or two even after it was done fueling. I have not done anything different to my car, nor have I been fueling at just one gas station. Multiple stations have produced the same result. I am very afraid because the amount of gas could potentially be hazardous.
Fuel spills out when filling tank. No meter to stop the overflow of fuel spilling out once the tank is full. Vehicle has not been diagnosed or looked at for this issue. This issue has been ongoing since I purchased the vehicle used in 2014.
Since I purchased my jeep it has had a fuel overflow issue where fuel gushes out of the gas tank once filled to capacity. I have always tried to not fill to capacity to avoid the issue. I am reporting this issue now because I am having my jeep services for other recall notices and was surprised that there was not a recall already in place for this hazard.
Gas over flows when fueling and spills all over person who is pumping gas
When filling the gas tank, fuel comes gushing out from the filler hole. This happens just as the gas pump clicks off. It spills a large amount of fuel all over the car and me. I would estimate 1/2 cup to 1 cup of gas spills depending on how quickly the gas pump is running. From my research so far this is not recalled and not under warranty. This seems like an extremely dangerous defect that was present and covered for 2007-2008 models. 2010 models need to be looked at and covered. This could be a potentially fatal defect.
When refueling the car, gasoline gushes out of the fill hole when the pump shuts off. This happens every time and I have learned to never fill the tank. The first several times this happened I was soaked with gasoline. I have since learned to avoid the problem by never filling the tank.
When I'm fueling my jeep at the gas station, the fuel system does not respond to the shut-off mechanism. As a result, gas spills out and runs down my car and on the ground. I also had the gas frequently spilling on my hands because of this issue. The problem started to occur intermittently back in november 2014. Since december 2015, it is happening every time I'm fueling my jeep. This is extremely annoying. It also causes concerns from environmental standpoint. I also fear negative impact on my health due to this issue. Background is that the problem results in unavoidable gas spilling on my hands. When I raised this issue with my jeep dealer, they indicated that they allegedly never heard of this issue, that they "couldn't find any problems" and that there is "nothing wrong" with the fuel system of my wrangler. I feel that I'm not taken seriously by my jeep dealer. I learned today that the fuel system issue is a known problem that many other wrangler owners are struggling with, so I decided to report it to the federal safety agency.
Fuel gushes out when filling.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. While the vehicle was stationary, the fuel tank overflowed and spilled fuel onto the ground. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,000.
Fuel sprays out when filling.
Just bought 2010 jeep on 1/2/17 with only 38k miles for our 17 year old son. Every time we put gas in the jeep the gas splatters out everywhere, enough to saturate side of jeep and ground as well as clothes, skin. The gas will still come out after automatic shut off occurs. It seems the gas is coming back out of the tank and not the nozzle since we have gone to different gas stations. Even let the gas nozzle sit a moment before removing from tank. Vehicle engine was shut off and not running. Nozzle was properly inserted. My husband and myself have tried to do it without the gas spilling (slow, not topping off, waiting to remove nozzle) but it still does it. Not a safe vehicle for our son to take to college.
When fueling, gas sprays out of the fill hole. This causes a dangerous condition for the environment and for the people it sprays on. Fca says I need a new fuel tank.($1100.00) they could not find the problem when the warranty was in effect but now that the warranty has expired they know exactly what to do.
Gas gushing out when filling vehicle at gas pump, the auto shut off does not shut off manually or auto shut off. Vehicle is stationary, I believe this is a manufacturers problem in the gas tank preventing the gas overflow. This is a hazard. This vehicle only has 47k miles. This has happened the last 4 times pumping gas.
The vehicle would spit gas out of the filler pipe after the pump would click off. The problem then developed into not letting me put gas in at all without the pump clicking off many times for a small amount of fuel. Replacing the tank fixed the problem. This problem has been well documented from 2007-2012 but jeep only recalled or extended the warranty on models 2007-2008.
Fuel spillage during fill up, happens every time. Fuel gushes out forcefully upon tank reaching its capacity.
The fuel evaporation port on my gas tank which has a hose that connects to the evap canister broke for no reason. I could frequently smell gasoline outside the rear of the vehicle & being near the muffler was afraid of a fire. Also since these fumes are vented back into the engine I had rough idle, lower economy, & was polluting the atmosphere. Also, the only solution offered by dealer was to replace the entire gas tank for $900.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. While attempting to use the passenger side seat belt, the seat belt would not latch to secure the contact. The failure was intermittent. Also, while driving at various speeds, the fuel cap warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing, but the details of the diagnosis could not be provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000.
Gas spills out when filling up gas tank. Tried different gas station same thing. Gas pump autoshut off works but gas still backsplash out. Has been hahppening
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that the fuel tank did not have a sensor; therefore, every time fuel was pumped and the tank was filled, fuel spilled out. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was driven to a mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 900.
Gasoline will shoot out of the filler tube when filling the vehicle with gas while manually pumping or using the auto shut-off of the pump handle. It occurs on almost every fill-up.
