When filling with fuel, fuel splashes out, have to pump real slow to fill tank.
Every time I fill my wrangler with fuel, the tank overflows after the click, sometimes spilling as much as a 1/2 gallon of fuel on the side of the vehicle and all over the ground. It does not matter if I slow down to a trickle. As soon as I hear the click, gas goes everywhere. I am genuinly concerned about the safety hazard as this happens each time I fill up.
The recent recall by jeep on the 2010 wranglers does not fit the situations that have been occurring. Several owners have experienced spontaneous fires, and were not in any off-road situation that could have cause debris to collect on or near the catalytic converter. They were simply driving home from work, or on the highway. One owner, who contacted me, had 16 miles on it (2012 model), and had just picked it up from the dealership. It caught on fire on his way home. Another owner had 600 miles on it (another 2012 model) and it was sitting in front of his home. Numerous have not been on the 2010 models either. The debris that "collected" under my vehicle was not burned up in the fire, and not even in that same location. I believe that this "recall" is jeep's attempt to bandage a larger issue they are hiding from the public. Video from my fire clearly shows a liquid (tranny fluid or fuel) pouring from the vehicle from the very beginning of the fire. My feeling is that it's a tranny cooler overflow problem, or a bad fuel line connection. Here is a link to the facebook page that I created for others to post their experiences.

When refueling fuel spills out of filling port on vehicle. Fuel spurts out potentially onto person refueling vehicle or onto vehicle and ground. This has happened on multiple occasions during different temperatures and refueling conditions. This has also happened at multiple gas stations.
Fuel overflow when getting gas at the pump. Auto-off does not click off but also, when fueling manually, pump does not click off when tank is full. Also, the angle of the gas pump nozzle seems to affect severity of problem. This problem started back in january of 2012. Had the jeep for 8 months with no problems.
Fuel spills out of the tank when refueling at a gas station. If I fill up the tank, letting the gas pump shut off when it wants to, about a cup of fuel comes back out of the gas tank. I am not topping off the tank.
On jan. 19th, 2012 my jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon edition (with auto tranny) caught on fire. Just prior to that the engine had cut off. I lost all power. My co-worker indicated that the cars coming towards us were flashing their lights and honking their horns. I looked in the rear-view mirrow to see if there was someone behind me, and saw a trail of smoke from my jeep. I had no dash warning lights indicating a problem, and according to the deputy sherriff, who was traveling towards me during the situation, the vehicle was already on fire. We drifted to the next pull off and jumped out of the vehicle, after putting it in park. I realized at that time that the vehicle was still moving forward, and had to jump back in to apply the parking brake to stop it from rolling down the street. My co-worker said that there appeared to be something on fire under the hood, and I told him not to open it, so he went for help. I proceeded to remove my work and hunting gear. I managed to get my payroll checks, deposit checks, and my tool bag out of the vehicle before it was fully involved, both inside and out. As I reached into the back to grab my tool bag, I noticed that the front passenger comparment was already fully engulfed in flames. Neither of us was hurt, except for some smoke inhalation. I am thankful that I did not have my family with me, that we were not traveling down the interstate, or that I did not make it home and park the jeep in the garage. From the time the jeep shut off until it was fully engulfed in flames was approx. 45 seconds. In talking to me "off the record" the inspector from jeep said that he believed that "due to the amount of blow-back damage the vehicle was already on fire while driving it, and that it was most likely a fuel line rupture issue. But he didn't want to formally state that until he was finished.
Every time I go to fill up my car with gas, I get a over spill of gas that shoots out of my car about 2 inches away from my car. And also along the side of my car. It's a dangerous situation.
When filling the tank gas spills out when the handle stops flow at the full tank level. It doesn't matter if you fill the tank slowly or even decrease the gas flow to the point just before the handle shuts off. It still overflows. I have read in forums that this is a common problem with jeep jk models, possibly a defect with the tank check valve or the overflow drain line. The tsb's I've read only indicate a free dealer warranty fix for the 07 and 08 models but reports continue the be noted for '09 and '10 models as well. This safety hazard must be addressed.
Air bag light stays on! Gas cap light stays on!
When pumping fuel into the 2010 wrangler unlimited instead of the pump cutting off it spews gas out of the tank. Thinking it may be a pump failure I ignored. This problem has happened at every gas pump I go to. You can pump gas very slowly into the tank and when you think you are getting near release, but this does not fix the underlying problem with the gas tank. This is a safety hazard which could lead to potential fire issues, along with eroding paint. I have to get a car wash whenever this happens. The gas gets on my clothes and shoes. This problem also affects my job. The are numerous videos on you tube detailing this problem.
2010 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited: I recently took my jeep to the dealership to attend to another recall and check out some problems - overflowing gas tank, squealing brakes, rough idle in traffic, increasingly rough and loud ride. I purchased my jeep new 18 months ago and it now has approximately 22k miles. They replaced the gas tank which I now understand is a common issue on the 2010 rubicons. They told me I needed to replace both rotors which are no longer covered under warranty due to debris getting caught between the brake pad and rotor on both rear brakes. And, they explained the loud/rough ride was from the uneven wear on my front tires. The tread on my front tires showed severe cupping. The tech said it was from not rotating my tires often enough and this is a common problem on jeeps since the front has more "play" and the rear is more "solid". He said there was nothing wrong with my jeep. I questioned whether the significant uneven wear was acceptable after only 22k miles. He offered no other solution other than rotating the damaged tires to the back and wait for them to wear evenly. My concern was rotating the tires would just create issue with my other two tires as well. He said it's just normal and I'd need to replace all of my tires soon anyway. With the age of the vehicle being only 18 months with 22k miles, I question if this issue is not related to my suspension.
2010 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited: while refueling my vehicle I engaged the handle to continue fueling while I went inside the gas station. When I returned, the pump had disengaged, but there was fuel all over the side of my jeep and on the ground. My fuel gauge registered full and this had never happened so I thought the fuel pump may have been faulty. My next trip to the gas station, I monitored it more closely and was able to refuel as normal confirming my original thought that the pump had malfunctioned. During my next attempt to refuel I had again engaged the handle to continue fueling as I sat inside the vehicle. I heard the thunk of the automatic shut off and saw again the gas had sprayed all over the side of my jeep and on the ground. This was not the same gas station as the original occurrence so I believed the problem was actually my gas tank. I took my jeep to the dealership where they replaced my gas tank without explanation. At this point I had approximately 22k miles on my jeep. I purchased my jeep new in august 2010 with 154 miles on it. I have owned it for 18 months and it has approximately 22k miles on it.
Gas tank overfill issue. During fill ups the pump will shut off automatically as intended. Within seconds a quantity of gas will surge from the filler neck and leak down the side. The quantity is a significant amount. Per my records from previous fill ups (where this is not an issue) no significant change in quantity of gas or mileage driven has occurred. Attempts to limit the problem by filling up at 1/2 tank did not help. Slowing the fill rate does not help most of the time.

Tank overflows on gas fill up.
Was 4 wheeling and smell fuel out of the right side rear. Dealer installed o ring: fuel pump and level. Installed new fuel tank. 07/01/2011 smelled fuel coming from right rear. Dealer did smoke test and found leak at the evap canister installed new vent canister. 08/04/2011. Still smell fuel from right rear, dealer did smoke test found no leaks, but could smell fuel vapor in right rear. Stated that when off rode fuel moves more in the tank and that the jeep is safe, and no fix at this time. How can this be true??. If I would strike a match it would explode and life could be lost.
When filling up with gas, it does not shut off when full. It shoots fuel up and out of the filler tube soaking the side of the jeep, the bumper, the fuel filler wand, and anyone standing close. This is a serious issue. It happens every time filling to full.
The fuel tank overflows when doing fill up every time. It happens at all gas stations and I never try to "top off" the tank. I do not want a fire, so my concern is for more than my ruined shoes and deteriorating paint near the tank. I have read of many others who have had this issue and is yet unresolved.
Fuel spills out of the filler port during the refueling process. This condition generally occurs when the fuel tank is filled to the full or nearly full level and the gas pump automatically shuts or clicks off. The fuel splashes on the person fueling the car, the car itself, and onto the ground. This happens repeatedly, not just a single occurrence.
On the first day jeep gave me my new truck I took the jeep to the nearest gas station to fill up the tank for the first time. When the tank filled up, it spilled fuel all over the ground , truck and gas station personnel who was refueling the truck ( there is personnel in charge of refueling in gas stations in my country : peru southamerica ) my 2010 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited 4 dr was bought on this february of 2011 , and keeps having the same problem . My concern is that since my truck is not on the u.s territory ( but manufactured on the u.s ) jeep on my country will try to avoid taking care of many of the recalls been made already to the braking system , which I have read after I bought the truck. Is every jeep dealer ( even outside u.s ) obligated to call his jeep wrangler customers for recalls ???..... Cause they have not told me anything yet about everything written on the web.
