Since I bought the vehicle I must be careful I cannot fill my tank. It overflows and spills creating a hazardous environment that is dangerous to my family and others. Yesterday in the pump it got seriously dangerous when the the spill ran out of control.
2010 Jeep Wrangler fuel system complaints
Page 6 of 9: complaints 131 to 160 of 228, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When filling the vehicle with fuel, the fuel pumps do not shut off and fuel spills out. The vehicle is allowed to be overfilled. The gas tank needs to force the gas pumps to stop when full. Fuel on most occasions splashes and spills on the person fueling the vehicle. This creates safely and environmental issues. A fire is waiting to happen.
When fueling up the gas tank the filler tube valve will not stop fuel from overflowing and spilling all over the place. Occurs every time when filling up.
Fuel tank spits out gas after auto fill at fuel-ups, dealer cant find anything wrong with tank. Spoke with chrysler, without a diagnosis, they say it is a annoyance and not necessarily a safety concern.
During gas fill up, when the pump automatically stops, fuel comes gushing out of the fuel fill all over the side of the vehicle and the ground.
When fueling up at the gas pumps, if you put the pump on auto, the pump handle will shutoff when the tank is full, but spews about a half gallon of fuel back up and out on the vehicle and your hand (if on the pump handle). Does it every time. Only work around I have come up with is to fuel up, close to full, then slowly feather up to full, or on lowest pump setting. Otherwise you have fuel dumping out all over, which is a safety concern.
While filling up my gas tank, it got to full then seemed to regurgitate gas. Spilling down the side of my jeep, onto me, and on the ground near the pump. This concerns me because of the risk of fire and explosion. The gas is harmful to skin and it spilled all over me. I just purchased this jeep. This should not happen.
When filling up vehicle with gas, the pump shut off when full however the fuel splashed back out of the vehicle and ran down the side.
When refueling, the nozzle on the fuel pump will not stop on time, allowing fuel to splash back at the person refueling. Today, the nozzle didn't stop at all, allowing a lot of fuel to spill on the ground. A person doesn't have to fill it up either. If you stop mid refill, it will still spray back at the person refueling.
Every time I fill my gas tank, it overfills. The first time I thought it was the gas pump but it has done it consistently for the last 2 months. I have filled up at different stations and every single time it sprays out all over the body/rear bumper.
On going problem of gas spraying out gas fill neck when filling tank.
When filling up with fuel, fuel spills out filler neck when it's just about full. Does it all the time.
I have had my 2010 jeep wrangler for nearly two years, and recently the gas tank has begun to back up every time I fill up the vehicle. I do not try to "top-off" the tank, but the overflow sends fuel out of the vehicle creating exposed gasoline running down the rear quarter-panel & bumper. In some cases, a puddle of fuel forms causing a significant risk to my family, myself and others fueling at the station. This has happened consistently over the past two months. I've tried to remedy the situation by trying different fueling stations, pumps, and alternating between manual filling & using the auto fill lever on the fueling nozzle to no avail. Based on my research this is a pervasive issue on the 2010 jeep wrangler that should be addressed and remedied proactively rather than waiting for a serious incident to occur. Contrary to chrysler's response of 'user error', I have been fueling different makes & models of vehicles for over 20 years without having this occur. I urge the federal safety agency to further investigate this issue. I enjoy driving my jeep, but I am now reluctant every time I have to fuel the vehicle.
Fuel tank overflows upon complete fill, major problem in many jeep wranglers over much of their production since 2007 evidently. Gasoline spills over vehicle , people and ground upon filling tank. Major safety and environmental hazard.
Numerous time over the past 3 years I've had gas overflow / spill / spew out from while filling my tank with gas. This has happened at various gas stations and both using manually using the gas trigger or locking the gas trigger. I took the jeep to the dealer last year and they said it would cost $1200 to replace the gas tank. From the research I have done there is already an investigation into this matter for my specific make and model.
Every time I fill my '10 jeep wrangler with gas, the gas pump shuts off and then the gas backs up out of my gas tank and pours out of my car all over the ground. I have tried not locking the gas pump on, going to different stations, and filling it slowly. Nothing works. It does the same thing time after time.
I purchased my 2010 wrangler new. The last three times I have filled my fuel tank, gas has spewed out of the tank immediately after the nozzle clicked off. It seems to be coming from a build-up of pressure inside of the gas tank because the gas comes back out of the tank forcefully even if the nozzle is still in the tank. The first time this happened to me I had to go home to change clothes and to wash the gasoline off of my legs. I thought it was something I had done wrong. I have since filled up two more times and I have used different pumps at different gas stations with the same result. This happened again today (01/21/14), and the station attendant rushed out to clean up the fuel that was spilled because there was so much on the ground and again, I had gas spewed on me. I feel this is a very dangerous situation and should be addressed in some way by chrysler.
Every time I fill up my tank the fuel overfills and spills on the jeep. I have been to numerous gas stations with the same results.
Hello, my name is [xxx] and on january 4th, 2014 I purchased a 2010 jeep jk wrangler from a family friend, upon the first 3 times filling up (all so far) the gas has spewed out of the tank and onto the ground before I could shut off the pump handle. I've probably wasted at least 2 gallons already by doing this, which adds up quick. This seems very dangerous to me, one little spark could send the vehicle up in flames and harm me, and many others. I was wondering if there was any type of warranty to cover this so that myself, and others, don't have to pay hundreds of dollars to get the problem fixed, or worry every time we go to the pump. Thanks for taking time to read this, [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Gas tank overfills no matter which pump I used at different gas stations. The vehicle was purchased new. This problem only has been occurring for the passed 4 months.
The gas will overflow, spill out, when I fill up the gas tank. The nozzle shuts off and gas spills out after shut off. I took the vehicle to the dealer, they diagnosed a bad valve in the tank which would require the tank to be removed/replaced.
Gas fill spit back now occurs every time I fill the tank and it has caused burning to my skin from contact with the gasoline. There is also a fire hazard associated with the spilled fuel on the ground at the gas station.
When filling up the gas tank to full (when the nozzle should automatically shut off), the gas will overflow/spit out fuel and spill. I've taken this into the jeep dealer to determine what the cause is. The dealer's diagnosis of the problem was a faulty shutoff valve within the tank and to fix this issue, the whole tank would need to be replaced. This is not caused by "user error". This issue is a common occurrence with jeep wranglers as cited from numerous other complaints and should be recalled as spilled fuel poses a fire hazard to the fueling station, the vehicle, and the driver/passengers.

I own a 2010 jeep wrangler. When I fill up with gas the automatic shut off fails and has sprays out of the filler point. This has happened multiple multiple times. I do not "top off" the fuel. It sprays with force shooting out gas everywhere creating a safety and environmental hazard.
Gas over flows out of gas tank at each fill up.
Every time I fill up my tank, gas gushes out all over the side of my vehicle and onto the ground. The auto shutoff on the nozzle will not work. I am not "topping off" or leaving the hose unattended.this has happened at multiple gas stations. I feel that gasoline spewing out onto my clothes, all over the side of the jeep and onto the pavement is clearly a safety hazard. This started happening about two months after my standard warranty ended. I was told by the dealer they are aware of the problem, but repair is not covered, even though the exact problem would be fixed for free if I had an older model jeep.
When refueling, when the fuel filler nozzle clicks off, there is a gush of fuel that spouts out of the fuel tank filler neck for a second or two. It has now become consistent, regardless of when or where the vehicle is refueled (at 6000' or 3000', on 75 degree days or 30). This problem did not occur before this past summer, and was intermittent until about this october. It now occurs anytime the filler is allowed to click off. It behaves as if the fuel tank is not venting as fuel is delivered. When the delivery is cut off, the pressure in the tank, increased through introduction of fuel without an equivalent reduction in volume of air, expels the fuel remaining in the filler neck until equalized. This is speculation on my part but plausibly describes the observed behavior.
When fueling my 2010 jeep wrangler, the tank overflows onto the ground at the pump. I have tried limiting flow at the handle and it still does it. This is a major fire hazard as raw fuel is spilled on the ground and drips from the rear of the vehicle.
When fueling my vehicle the gas pump does not shut off and causes a fuel spill every time the vehicle is refueled. This has happened every time I fueled the vehicle at several different stations, using both the manual or automatic shut off on the gas nozzles.
