2011 Jeep Wrangler Fuel System Problems

The check-valve nipple on the gas tank of my 2011 Jeep Wrangler is broken. You can see it and smell the gas vapors leaking from this nipple. The vehicle has 86K miles. The Jeep failed our Delaware state inspection because the check engine light came on. The Jeep smells like gas and in addition to harmful vapors, it is a serious safety issue and an explosion danger. Two service stations attempted to fix this without success. The error code is P0455 for an emissions leak. The most recent service station ordered several previously-owned Jeep gas tanks but they all had this same failure. They next ordered a new gas tank from Jeep which was out of stock for several months, indicating they can not keep up with the demand for these failing nipples. When the new gas tank finally came in, this same nipple was broken and this was a brand new gas tank. If you go on line, you will see this is a common problem and a safety issue. As a former engineer for Ford Motor Company, it is clear Jeep has a design flaw that will break and cause a safety risk to customers. The material is wrong for this application, and there is not enough strain relief where this nipple is located. It will inevitably break on all Jeeps at some point in time causing this safety risk. I told the service station that there is no reason to replace the gas tank because this nipple will simply fail again. They have other Jeeps they are working on with this same problem so had no problem canceling my service request. Please address this problem with Jeep before someone is injured or killed.

Jeep wranglers have a common problem with the fuel inlet. It clogs over time then will cause fuel to spill over or click off constantly while fueling the vehicle. This gets worse in cold months. I have spilled fuel hundreds of times over the years while fueling. Jeep forums and YouTube talk about the widespread issue. No warranty or recall? Perhaps after a gas station goes up in flames

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the fuel pump would continuously stop while attempting to refuel the vehicle. Due to the failure, the contact could not gauge when the fuel tank was full; therefore, fuel would splash out of the tank once it reached capacity. The contact stated that fuel would splash onto her clothing or onto her face because of the failure. The contact called a dealer and the service mechanic confirmed that the failure was common and that her fuel tank would need to be replaced. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 142,000.

AUTO SHUT OFF OF GAS FILL DOES NOT WORK WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK AND GAS SPUES ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND WHEN TANK FILLS.

WHEN FILLING UP WITH FUEL, THE GAS WILL SPIT BACK AND SPILL FUEL ON THE SIDE OF JEEP AND GROUND, EVEN AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF OF THE HOSE ENGAGES. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL, MAYBE 5 DOZEN, TIMES SINCE I'VE OWNED IT. IT US WELL DOCUMENTED FROM THOUSANDS OF OWNERS OF THIS STYLE JEEP HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

GAS TANK IS CRACKED ON TOP NO IMPACTS SHOWING. *TR

EVERY TIME WE FILL THE GAS TANK, FUEL SPEWS/SPILLS OUT AT THE END OF PUMPING THE GAS.

WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK, THE STATION PUMP CLICKS OFF THE NOZZLE THEN GAS SPITS BACK OUT OF MY TANK ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND.

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AS THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF AT "FULL" LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK

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...

THE FUEL TANK RUSTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE TANK WAS ON BACKORDER AND THIS WAS AN ONGOING ISSUE.

2011 JEEP SAHARA WRANGLER REFUELING PROBLEM. REFUELING GEYSER OVERFLOW PROBLEM OF GASOLINE AT WHERE NOZZLE ENTERS VEHICLE. REQUIRES MANUALLY CLICKING OFF HANDLE WHEN FUEL TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL OVERFLOWING GASOLINE ON GROUND, JEEP, AND SELF, (FUEL ON HANDS AND SHOES). THIS OVERFLOW OCCURRED JANUARY 25, 2019, FEBRUARY 11, 2019, AND MARCH 10, 2019. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS FROM BERGLUND JEEP DODGE RAM DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR INDICATED REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE COVERED APRIL 3, 2019.

WHEN FILLING UP AT A FUEL PUMP, THE FUEL PUMP HANDLE WILL CLICK OFF AND AFTER THAT HAPPENS, ABOUT 1/4 OF A GALLON OF FUEL WILL SPILL OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ONTO THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE.

ON GOING ISSUE OF FUEL BACK SPLASH WHEN FUELING. AFTER PUMP SHUTS OFF FUEL POURS BACK OUT ON TO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. ON GOING ISSUE.

FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF FILLER WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK. THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AND THEN THE FUEL FLOWS OUT ONTO OPERATOR AND EXTERIOR OF CAR AND GROUND.

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.

WHEN I FILL UP AT THE PUMP GAS OVERFLOWS - TRIED DIFFERENT STATIONS AND SETTING ON THE LEVER.

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING VEHICLE.. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON LINE

WHEN FUELING THE GAS TANK, GAS WILL SPEW OUT IN LARGE VOLUMES BEFORE THE GAS PUMP HABDLE DEACTIVATE ALLOWING GAS TO SPILL OVER THE SIDE OF JEEP AND ON TO THE GROUND. IT HAPPENS AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND MULTIPLE PUMPS. PROBLEM IS WITH JEEP, NOT THE GAS PUMP HANDLE. SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS A MIRIAD OF THE SAME PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. NOTE: HAS HAPPENED ALOT PRACTICALLY EVERYTIME, NOT JUST THE DATE ENTERED.

MY JEEP OVERFLOWS GASOLINE EVERYTIME I FILL UP AT THE PUMP

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.

FUEL SHOOTING OUT OF GAS TANK WHEN FILLING UP. DOES NOT SHUT OFF, SENDING FUEL FLYING OUT ALL OVER VEHICLE AND CONCRETE. VEHICLE STATIONARY, NOT RUNNING. BEGAN IN EARLY JANUARY 2018 AND CONTINUES WITH EACH FILL-UP.

JUST BOUGHT THE JEEP, USED IN DEC 2017. EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK, THE FUEL BACKS UP THE FILLER NECK CAUSING A MESS ON MY JEEP AND THE GROUND. EVERY TIME.

EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK I HAVE GASOLINE SPRAY BACK AND OVERFILL POURING OUT FROM THE GAS TANK. THE GAS SPILLS ALL OVER MYSELF, MY JEEP AND THE GROUND. HAPPENS EVERY TIME REGARDLESS OF WHERE I FILL UP.

GAS SHOOTING BACK AT ME WHEN I FILL UP. HORRENDOUS AND A SAFETY ISSUE. ALL OVER MY CHILD NEXT TO ME. I WANT TO SUE JEEP.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FILET NECK. THE GAS DOES NOT STOP WHEN YOUR FILLING IT. THE GAS OVERRATED ALL THE TIME. THE PERSON AT THE GAS STATION SAYS IT HAPPENS W ALL THE JEEP'S. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE WHEN THE GAS SPILLS OUT. ALSO JEEP SAYS IT'S A PROBLEM BUT SAYS THERE ISN'T A RECALL

GASOLINE WILL OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK. IT ALSO PRODUCES BACK PRESSURE WHEN FILLING CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF PREMATURELY.

FUEL KEEP'S SPITTING OUT WHEN I FILL-UP WITH GAS.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK IT CLICKS ONCE TO SHUT OFF AND THEN FUEL COMES SHOOTING OUT LIKE A GEYSER. I HAVE TRIED PUMPING SLOWLY AND ALL DIFFERENT POSITIONS WITH NOZZLE AND THAT DOESN'T HELP. A HUGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SPITS OUT EVERYWHERE.

WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS, AFTER THE AUTOMATIC PUMP SHUTOFF, GAS SHOOTS BACK OUT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND THE GROUND. LIKE THE TANK THREW UP THE LAST BIT OF GAS (ABOUT A LITER OF GAS COMES BACK OUT). HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP REGARDLESS OF WHICH GAS STATION I GO TO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE FUEL TANK TUBING FRACTURED. IN ADDITION, VAPORS ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,100. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THERE IS FUEL CAP MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD. I CHANGED THE CAP AND THE MESSAGE CONTINUED. I TOOK THE RUBICON TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL TANK AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A HOSE THAT GOES FROM WHERE THE FUEL GETS FILLED TO THE ENGINE AND THE WHOLE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND A SAFETY HAZARD. THE JEEP IS NOT BEING DRIVEN RIGHT NOW DUE TO MY CONCERN. THE JEEP IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND IT ONLY HAS 36K MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURE REPLACEMENT> I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH ISSUES ON OTHER VEHICLES EVEN AFTER 50+ YEARS. PLEASE ADVICE ME ASAP ON MY NEXT STEP. THANK YOU *TR

2011 JEEP WRANGLER IS VERY HARD TO FUEL. WHEN FUELING FUEL PUMP CONTINUALLY SHUTS OFF. MUST REDUCE TO A VERY SLOW RATE AND EVEN THEN IT WILL SOMETIMES SHUT OFF NO MATTER WHAT PUMP IS USED. OCCURS AT EVERY GAS STATION AND EVERY PUMP. SO NOW I HAVE TO PUMP GAS INTO THE JEEP REALLY SLOW BEEN CARE FULL AS NOT TO HAVE A FUEL BACK SPLASH.

THE FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. IT SPILL FUEL EVERYWHERE.

NEARLY EVERY TIME I REFUEL MY JK, WITHIN ONE SECOND OF SHUTTING OFF THE FUEL NOZZLE, APPROXIMATELY 3-8OUNCES OF GAS IS FORCEFULLY EXPELLED FROM THE FUEL INLET ON THE JEEP. SEVERAL HUNDRED JK OWNERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR JKS ON A NUMBER OF INTERNET FORA ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE SEVERAL YOU TUBE VIDEOS DOCUMENTING THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM SPANS ALL MODEL YEARS OF THE JK, BOTH TWO AND FOUR DOOR. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. I'VE REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO JEEP AND THEY CLAIM IT'S NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY SINCE NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT I FIND THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND A POTENTIAL HAZARD.

WHEN YOU FILL THE VEHICLE, AT TIME OF AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF AT PUMP, FUEL SPURTS OUT OF FILL. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CONDITION BUT CONTINUOUS.

WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK, PUMP CLICKS OFF AND THEN FUEL SPILLS OUT. THIS OCCURS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS.

GASOLINE OVERFLOWS THE TANK WHEN FILLING AT EVERY FILLUP, REGARDLESS OF FILLING STATION BRAND NAME, TIME OF YEAR OR FILLING WITH THE NOZZLE HANDLE HELD BY HAND OR USING THE AUTO FILL MODE.

FUEL OVERFILL SHUT OFF NOT WORKING RESULTING IN LARGE SPRAY OF FUEL.

FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM THEIR TANK DURING THE REFUELING PROCESS. THE FUEL SYSTEM DOES NOT SEEM TO RESPOND TO THE SHUT-OFF MECHANISM, WHICH MEANS GAS SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND, THE CAR AND EVEN THE OWNER. THIS ISN'T A SIMPLE LITTLE FUEL LEAK EITHER, THIS IS MORE LIKE A FUEL GEYSER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS FUEL LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE HAD GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORST OVER TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

REALLY ANNOYING AND VERY DANGEROUS!! EACH TIME WE FILL UP OUR 2011 JEEP WRANGLER WITH FUEL, JUST AS THE PUMPS AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF CLICKS, FUEL WILL BLOW OUT AND ALL OVER WHOEVER IS HOLDING THE PUMP HANDLE. THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN, EXCEPT FOR THE CLICK FROM THE PUMP HANDLE A SPLIT SECOND BEFORE YOU GET DOUSED. WE CHECKED WITH OUR JEEP DEALER TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL, AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOT, HOWEVER IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE "INLET CHECK VALVE"; A MECHANICAL ITEM THAT APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE, AND A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN, BUT IS SOMEHOW NOT UNDER WARRANTEE. WE WENT ON-LINE TO RESEARCH AND FOUND SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES, INCLUDING 2007-2009 JEEP WRANGLERS. REALLY AGGRAVATING TO FIND OUT THERE HAD BEEN PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, CHRYSLER KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, BUT BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2011 YEAR, IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED A REAL CONCERN

MY JEEP WRANGLER 2011 SPIT BACK EVERY TIME ME OR MY WIFE REFUEL THE VEHICLE GETTING GAS OVER ME AND THE FLOOR .IF WE PARK THE VEHICLE INSIDE THE GARAGE THE ODOR OF GAS IS VERY STRONG WE DECIDE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE OUT SIDE . I CALL THE AUTHORIZED DEALER THEY TELL ME THAT ARE NOT ANY RECALLS REGARDING THE FUEL SYSTEM,. THE MAIN CONCERN OF THIS SITUATION ARE IF THAT SITUATION CAN INITIATE A FIRE OR THE FUMES CAN BE A HAZARD FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY .

WHEN FILING THE GAS TANK WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF THERE IS FUEL THAT COMES BACK OUT OF THE TANK. HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED TO FULL.

FUEL OVERFLOW AND SPIT BACK EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK. THE AUTO-CUTOFF DOES NOT WORK. *TR

EVERY TIME THIS VEHICLE IS FUELED UP, THE GAS WILL COME GUSHING OUT BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND WAS COMPLETELY SOAKED WITH GAS THE FIRST TIME I FILLED IT UP. I DO NOT TOP IT OFF AND IT IS ON 10% ETHANOL 89 OCTANE GAS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. FROM WHAT I READ THE NHTSA HAS LOOKED INTO THIS AND DROPPED IT???? SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT FROM THIS. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY VEHICLE, THE FUEL SPITS UP OUT OF THE FILLER WHEN THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THERE IS CONSISTENTLY ABOUT 1/4 GALLON OF FUEL ON THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND, AT EVERY FILL-UP. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, AND THIS OCCURS AT EVERY STATION. *TR

FUEL OVERFLOW DURING FUELING. FUEL DOES NOT SHUT OFF WHEN TANK IS FULL. THIS HAS BEEN A PERSISTENT PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SPILLING OUT OF THE GAS TANK. ALSO ON OCCASION FUEL WILL NOT PUMP AT ALL. AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF KEEPS ENGAGING. *TR

GAS KEEPS COMING OUT OF THE TANK WHEN FILLING UP WHICH IS A DANGER AND A HAZARD AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WEAR OR TEAR OR ABUSE ITS A FAULTY PART OR BAD FUEL TANK AND IS A PROBLEM OUT THERE FOR SO MANY JEEP WRANGLERS ON EVERY FORUM.IF THERE ARE SO MANY JEEPS ON FORUMS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL,GOD FOR BID I HAD A GAS ATTENDANT FILLING UP MY CAR AND DIDN'T KNOW GAS WOULD SHOOT ALL OVER HIM ITS A HAZARD TO EVERYONE AND THE ENVIRONMENT. *TR

AS I PUMP GASOLINE AT DIFFERENT GASOLINE STATIONS; THE GAS PUMP DOESN'T SHUT OFF AND FUEL SPIT-BACK ONTO THE FLOOR, HAND AND CLOTHE. THE SMELL OF GASOLINE WILL BE THROUGHOUT THE CAB AND IN MY HANDS AND CLOTHE. THIS IS A HEALTH ISSUE, BECAUSE INHALING THE FUMES. ALSO IF I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO SOAP AND WATER I MUST STAY WITH GASOLINE IN MY HANDS AND CLOTHE. *TR

WHEN GETTING GAS REGARDLESS WHERE, THE AUTO FUEL DOESN'T STOP UNTIL ABOUT A CUP OR 2 OF FUEL IS SPIT OUT OF THE GAS TANK - DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ON THE GROUND. *TR

FUEL SPITS/SPRAYS BACK WHEN REFUELING

EVERYTIME I GET A FULL TANK OF FUEL APPROX. 1/2 GALLON OF FUEL COMES OUT OF THE FILL NOZZLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON. WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF WHILE FILLING MY GAS TANK, FUEL SPRAYS OUT. THE JEEP DEALER SAYS HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE. I TOLD HIM TO LOOK ON THE INTERNET AND HE WOULD FIND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH OREGON, (NO SELF SERVE GAS STATIONS) SEVERAL ATTENDANTS TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY IN THE COLD WEATHER. *TR

MY GAS TANK OVERFLOWS AT THE PUMP EVERY TIME I RE-FUEL STARTING IN JANUARY, 2015, 5 MONTHS AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED BUT WITH ONLY 22,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF WHEN FULL, THEN SHORTLY AFTER, OVERFLOW SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THIS ISSUE IS TO GUESS WHEN IT IS GETTING CLOSE TO FULL AND STOP THE PUMP BEFORE IT IS FULL. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL SPLASHES ON ME IF I'M TOO CLOSE, ON THE BODY, BUMPER, AND GROUND, CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT COULD EASILY LEAD TO A FIRE. *TR

GASOLINE OVERFLOWS OUT OF VEHICLE DURING FUEL FILL UP. THIS OCCURS AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS USING DIFFERENT PUMPS. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS THE CAR DOES NOT SHUT THE PUMP DOWN CAUSING GASOLINE TO SHOOT OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER. *TR

DECEMBER 2013, WHEN TEMPERATURES REACHED FREEZING AND LOWER, VEHICLE STARTED OVERFLOWING DURING REFUELING. THIS OCCURRED ON EVERY REFUELING OCCURRENCE THAT THE GAS PUMP SHOULD HAVE SHUT OFF ONCE THE TANK WAS FULL. THIS OCCURRED FROM DECEMBER 2013 UNTIL MARCH 2014 WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE IN FOR MAINTENANCE. THE VAPOR CANISTER AND LEAK DETECTION PUMP FILTER WERE REPLACED. DECEMBER 2014, TEMPERATURES REACHED FREEZING AND BELOW; VEHICLE IS AGAIN OVERFLOWING DURING ALL REFUELING WHEN THE PUMP SHOULD HAVE SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND IS NOT ISOLATED TO ONE BRAND OF GASOLINE, FUELING STATION, OR STATE. ONCE THE PROBLEM BEGINS IT DOES NOT STOP WHEN TEMPERATURES INCREASE ABOVE FREEZING AND HIGHER. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS SOME KIND OF DEFECT IN THIS SYSTEM, BUT SO FAR JEEP/MOPAR HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT FOR 2011 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITEDS. *TR

EVERYTIME I FUEL UP, FUEL SPITS OUT ALL OVER THE BUMPER, WHEEL HUB, GROUND, AND SOMETIMES ME. THIS HAPPENS EVEN AFTER THE FACT THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. NOT ONLY IS THIS EXPENSIVE AFTER A WHILE, IT'S DANGEROUS AND HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR GREATER RISK. *TR

WHEN I GO TO GAS STATION AND FILL UP MY JEEP GAS OVERFLOWS OUT THE TANK FILL TUBE AFTER PUMP SHUTS OFF. AT FIRST IT ONLY HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY WITH MINIMAL SPILLAGE. NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP!!!! IT MAKES A GIANT MESS ALL OVER THE FENDER, BUMPER, AND THE GROUND AND ME!!!! I HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS, DIFFERENT SETTINGS ON THE NOZZLE(SLOW, MED, FAST). I HAVE STOOD THERE AND PUMPED BY HAND PUSHING NOZZLE FIRMLY AGAINST FILLER TUBE TO HELP PREVENT THE FUEL BLOW BACK. NOTHING WORKS!!! THE FILLER TUBE OR GAS TANK IS DEFECTIVE!!!! THIS WASTES GAS EVERY TIME I FILL UP,COSTING ME MONEY!! ITS RUINING THE FINISH ON MY BUMPER, FENDER, AND MUD FLAP. MOST IMPORTANTLY ITS GASOLINE RUNNING ALL OVER THE PLACE INCLUDING ME!!!! CAN YOU SAY FIRE HAZARD!!! THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED BY JEEP AND FIXED ASAP!!! *TR

THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED UP. IT HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE DIFFERENT PUMPS AND EVERY TIME WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED FULL. THE GAS SHOOTS OUT ONTO THE CAR AND COULD POSSIBLY GET ON THE PERSON FUELING THE AUTOMOBILE AS WELL. *TR

GAS PUMP WON'T AUTO SHUT OFF, TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS.

EXCESSIVE FUEL SPIT BACK WHEN REFUELING, EVEN AFTER GAS NOZZLE IS STOPPED. GASOLINE "BUBBLES" AND AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT COMES OUT OF THE TANK EVEN IF NOT FULL BUT CLOSE TO FULL. *TR

FOR THE THIRD FILL-UP IN A ROW, WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF GAS SPURTS OUT OF THE FILL UP TUBE AND DOWN THE REAR LEFT SIDE OF THE JEEP. THE JEEP IS NOT OBEYING/MONITORING THE LEVEL OF THE FUEL BEING PUMPED INTO IT AND WHEN IT RISES TO A NORMAL CUT OFF LEVEL THE JEEP IGNORES IT AND ALLOWS MORE FUEL TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. IT'S TOO LATE TO SHUT IT OFF EACH TIME. EACH TIME IT HAS DONE THIS IT BURPS UP ABOUT 1/2 A GALLON TO A GALLON OF GAS. IT'S DISCOLORING THE PLASTIC FENDER AND CAUSING A MESS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE DO THIS BEFORE. EVERY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED SHUTS OFF CORRECTLY, THEY HAVE MONITORED THE FUEL INTAKE LEVEL AND SIGNALED FULL BEFORE THE OVERFLOW HAPPENS. LIKE HOW IT SHOULD WORK. *JS

WHEN FUELING, WITH THE GAS PUMP LOCKED, THE FILLER TUBE BURPS/SPITS GAS WHEN THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS EVENT HAPPENS WHEN THE GAS PUMP IS FILLING BOTH SLOW AND FAST. GAS SPITS OUT ONTO THE FENDER AND ALL OVER THE PAINT UNDER THE FILL TUBE. *TR

WHENEVER I GO TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP WITH GAS, ONE OF TWO THINGS HAPPENS; EITHER IT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY CUTOFF AND GAS SPILLS OUT ONTO MY FENDER/WHEEL, OR IT DOES THE OPPOSITE....CONTINUES TO CLICK OFF OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND I AM UNABLE TO FILL MY TANK. I HAVE TRIED GETTING GAS AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS NOW, AND IT DOES IT AT ALL OF THEM. *TR

EVERY TIME YOU FILL UP THE JEEP, GAS SPILLS ONTO THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. IT SEEMS A LOT OF JEEP OWNERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE BEING HURT OR CATCHING FIRE BEFORE THIS BECOMES A RECALL? SEEMS THERE IS AT THIS POINT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS YEAR MODEL FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE, BEFORE A LAWSUIT IS FILED! *JS

EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP THE FUEL TANK, FUEL SPILLS OUT (SPITS OUT ALL OVER THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE PANEL). THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE JEEP. I HAVE TO MANUALLY CALCULATE HOW MANY GALLONS TO PUT IN EVERY TIME I GO TO THE GAS PUMP. I'VE TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND PUMPS ALONG WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT STRATEGIES OF HOLDING THE GAS PUMP AND REGARDLESS THE SPILLS STILL HAPPEN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK FULL WITH GAS. I'VE SEARCHED ONLINE FOR RECALLS RELATING TO THIS AND THEY APPEAR TO BE OUT THERE FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR 2011 MODEL JEEP WRANGLER. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, SINCE IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. IT APPEARS THE ONLY FIX FOR THIS IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, BUT I FEEL LIKE IF IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLERS, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR THE FIX. I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHO TO GO TO FROM HERE FOR A RESOLUTION. *TR

MY GAS TANK OVERFLOWS AT THE PUMP EVERY TIME I RE-FUEL. THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF WHEN FULL, THEN SHORTLY AFTER, OVERFLOW SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THIS ISSUE IS TO GUESS WHEN IT IS GETTING CLOSE TO FULL AND STOP THE PUMP BEFORE IT IS FULL. *JS

EVER SINCE I'VE PURCHASED MY USED 2011 WRANGLER IT HAS SPIT FUEL ONTO JEEP/GROUND WHILE FILLING THE TANK. SOMETIMES AS MUCH AS 1/2 GAL FUEL. THERE IS A TSB FOR 2007/2008 WRANGLERS TO HAVE TANK REPLACED. THERE NEEDS TO BE ANOTHER ONE FOR NEWER JEEPS. SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2011 ARE LISTED ON YOUR SITE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

USING MY 2011 JEEP WRANGLER (RIGHT HAND DRIVE), I DELIVER MAIL FOR THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE. WAS DELIVERING MAIL ON MY RURAL ROUTE. DATE WAS 4TH OF FEB.2014. THE PROBLEM WAS A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE WIRING HARNESS , MANY OTHER WIRES, COMPARTMENT PLASTICS ,AND GAS LINE. THE CAUSE APPEARS TO BE HOT OIL FROM THE TRANSMISSION DIPPING ONTO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION . I ONLY SEE THAT THE FILL TUBE ON THE TRANSMISSION WAS THE LEAK. I HEARD A FIRE IGNITE , OPEN THE CAR HOOD AND SEEN THE BLACK SMOKE I THEN PUT OUT THE FIRE. IT IS NOW THE DATE-MARCH 18 ,2014. I HAVE NO SUPPORT FROM CHRYSLER CORPORATION FOR REPAIR OF MY PROBLEM. THEIR INVESTIGATION STATED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE INCIDENT FOUND NO MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE INCIDENT ON 2-3-2014. I HAVE NOW TURNED THIS OVER TO MY CAR INSURANCE COMPANY . THEY SAY I SHOULD USE THE LEMON LAW. THIS VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR A BAD TRANSMISSION IN NOV. OF 2013. I DO NOT SEE WHY I SHOULD OF HAD MORE PROBLEMS. THE INSURANCE COMPANY COST TO REPAIR IS $5000. IF THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER FOR THE JEEP ,A NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD COST ME PERSONALLY $5000. THANK YOU. *TR

WHEN FILLING WITH FUEL, AFTER THE PUMP FINISHES PUTTING FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE, FUEL SURGES BACK OUT OF THE FILL NECK. IT APPEARS TO BE ABOUT ONE HALF GALLON SPILLS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER THE PUMP IS BEING RUN IN AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL MODE. NOR DOES IT MATTER AT WHAT RATE THE FUEL IS BEING ADDED. WHEN CONTACTED, THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED FOR THIS VIN SERIES. *TR

THE GAS ALWAYS SPILLS OVER FROM THE GAS TANK AFTER I PUT FUEL IN THE TANK. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I PUT A FEW GALLONS IN THE TANK OR FILL IT FULL. IT SPILLS GAS ALL OVER MY JEEP AND ON THE GROUND. *TR

AROUND THE DATE LISTED ABOVE, AND SINCE THEN WITH EVERY FUEL FILL UP, ONCE THE FUEL NOZZLE STOPS FILLING, THE VEHICLE SPILLS FUEL ALL OVER THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND, CREATING A FIRE HAZARD. IT DID NOT DO THIS WHEN IT WAS NEW, AND IT HAPPENS AT ALL DIFFERENT FUEL PUMPS AND FILLING STATIONS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR SIMILAR VEHICLES, BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THIS YEAR. I THINK THAT IT SHOULD. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, I SET THE PUMP TO CONTINUOUSLY FILL. THE PUMP DOESN'T STOP WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, CAUSING THE FUEL TO OVERFLOW OUTSIDE THE JEEP. AND WITH THE UNKNOWN PART (HEADER BAR) LEAKS EVERYTIME IT RAINS. IT LEAKS FROM THE TOP OF THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW...AND IT'S NOT JUST A LITTLE LEAK EITHER, IT SOMETIMES LOOKS LIKE A WATERFALL! TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID IT WAS WARPED. BOTH SEEM TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH JEEPS WRANGLER MODELS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WOULD SPILL WHENEVER ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT FUEL WOULD SPILL ON HERSELF AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE CHECK VALVE INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

PURCHASED THIS JEEP USED LAST MONTH. FILLED THE JEEP WITH GAS. THE GAS POURED OUT OF THE GAS TANK DOWN THE JEEP AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. THE GAS IS A POLLUTANT. THE GAS IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP MY JEEP WITH GAS SOMETIMES FUEL WILL SPEW OUT EVEN WHEN THE FUEL PUMP CLICKS TO STOP. IT WILL SPEW OUT AND GO DOWN THE SIDE OF ME JEEP ONTO THE GROUND. ENOUGH WHERE THE ATTENDANT NEEDS TO BE TOLD. THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED ON MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER AS WELL. *TR

FUEL SPILLS/SPLASHES OUT AFTER PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. *TR

FUEL SPILLS/SPLASHES OUT AFTER PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH AT TWO DIFFERENT FILLING STATIONS (FOUR DIFFERENT PUMPS). THE FUEL SPALSHED DOWN THE REAR AND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONCE ALL OVER MY SHOES. *TR

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS THEVEHICLE HAS BEEN SPILLING FUEL WHEN FILLING UP, AND TODAY IT WOULD NOT ACCEPT THE FUEL. *TR

WHEN FILLING WITH FUEL SOME THE AUTOMATIC STOP WILL TRIP ON THE PUMP WHEN THE TANK IS FULL THEN UP TO HALF A GALLON OF FUEL WILL SHOOT BACK OUT OF THE FILLER HOLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. *TR

WHILE REFUELING, THE PUMP CLICKED OFF, AND FUEL SPIT BACK OUT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND MY FEET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN VARIOUS DRIVERS ALERTED HIM TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MANEUVERED TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT THEN NOTICED THAT BOTH REAR WHEEL WELLS WERE ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT APPEARED ON THE SCENE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT GRASS WAS WEDGED BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK AND BODY OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE GRASS CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,200. ...UPDATED 08-03-12 *BF

WHILE 4X4ING AT A HIGH ALTITUDE AND HOT WEATHER THERE WAS A SMELL OF GAS IN THE JEEP. WE WERE TOLD BY OTHERS THAT THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED AND TO NOT ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN AS IT WOULD MAKE IT WORSE. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *JS
