2010 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

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. *TR

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. *TR

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.

2010 JEEP WRANGLER AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON ALSO HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT FUNCTIONING BECAUSE OF A BAD CLOCK SPRING. I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE WHERE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT WAS REFUELING THE VEHICLE WHEN SPILLED OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.
