When filling with fuel, gas will spit back from the filler neck and all over the side of the jeep right before the fuel nozzle clicks off. This has happened 3 times now in the 3 weeks since I bought this vehicle from a dealer. This creates a fire hazard in the event gas hit a hot spot or a spark caused by static, etc...

When refueling, the gas does not shut off and spills out of the tank until user shuts off. This happens each time you refuel and you are unable to fill up to shut off. I have spilled gasoline, on vehicle, clothing, ground, gas pump, etc. This is a pretty serious issue and I could not find a recall. I don't think this should be ignored. I had to add a date below, just the latest time it has been an issue. It has occurred multiple times to myself and my spouse.

Crack in gas tank - the check engine light illuminated yesterday when I started the vehicle. I took my vehicle to my mechanic. There is a crack in the top of the gas tank. My mechanic said that after research in trying to get a new gas tank, he found that this is an issue. Mopar has a significant backorder for these tanks. This is definitely a safety issue and I hope it will be looked into.

In july 2017, vehicle did not pass emission requirements at state inspection. Upon investigation, determination was made that a plastic hose connection on top of tank had broken and that entire tank needed to be replaced. Replacement availability was not a problem - over 100 in stock locally (really? This must be a recurring problem!) replacement cost, parts & labor - $1200.) first replacement had same problem and was replaced immediately at no cost. Second replacement has now developed same issue & and now, after approximately 6+ months must be replaced again. It should be noted that there hasn't been any accident, or trauma of any kind to vehicle. Although replacement cost is not to be ignored, it is my contention that this obvious design flaw creates a significant safety hazard. In the event of a rollover, gasoline would free-flow from the tank onto the muffler.

I was driving at under 10 MPH, on a texas state road when the plastic fuel line which is connected to the underside of the body with some type of adhesive failed. This dropped the fuel line directly on the catalytic converter, which melted the fuel line causing a fire that spread to the engine compartment. Apparently this is an issue on the 4 door model wranglers as the 2 door wranglers have a plate preventing this. This issue should be looked at on all 4 door models, ranging from 2008 through at least 2013. I have looked at other 4 door jeeps and see that they have the same potential issue there is nothing that prevents the fuel line from coming into contact with the exhaust and potentially causing a fire.
