2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM THE FUEL RECEPTACLE 1-2 SECONDS AFTER THE PUMP CUTS THE FLOW OF FUEL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED AND HAS OCCURRED USING IN EXCESS OF 20 DIFFERENT FUELING STATIONS. FUEL SPILLS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP, GROUND, ETC. I'M NOT TALKING A LITTLE DRIP. IT GUSHES OUT. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I HAVE TRIED LOCKING THE LEVER IN THE SLOWEST POSITION THINKING MAYBE I'M FILLING IT TOO FAST. I HAVE TRIED POSITIONING THE NOZZLE FURTHER IN AND FURTHER OUT. NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED WHENEVER DISPENSING FUEL CLOSE TO THE FULL LEVEL, THE FUEL WOULD IMMEDIATELY SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL PUMP NOZZLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 43,000.

DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 2010, WHEN REFUELING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, WHEN THE GAS STATION FUEL PUMP /NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, FUEL BEGAN TO OVERFLOW / BACKFLOW AND SPILL OUT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND THE GROUND. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ALMOST EVERYTIME I REFUELED. I BEGAN STOPPING THE FUEL NOZZLE MANUALLY WHEN IT SOUNDED LIKE THE FUEL WAS GETTING CLOSE TO THE NOZZLE. IT WOULD STILL OVERFLOW ON OCCASION. NOW I HAVE TO REFILL THE JEEP'S GAS TANK JUDGING BY HOW LOW THE GAS GAUGE READS AND HOW MANY GALLONS I PUT IN. USUALLY I FILL THE GAS TANK A TO LITTLE OVER THREE QUARTERS OF A TANK. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE FILLING UP THE GAS TANK UNTIL IT IS FULL OR FILLING IT UNTIL THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF WHEN IT SENSE THE TANK IS FULL BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF OVERFLOW VARIED, BUT IN WORST CASES I ESTIMATED IT WAS ANYWHERE FROM 10 FLUID OUNCES TO 32 FLUID OUNCES WHICH REALLY CONCERNS ME. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE GAS LITERALLY GUSHED OUT ENOUGH TO SPLASH ONTO THE THIGH AREA OF MY PANT LEG AND SHOES, WHILE I WAS STANDING A GOOD 18 INCHES FROM THE JEEP. *TR

JUST RECENTLY FUEL BACKFLOWS OUT OF MY GAS TANK AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. IT HAPPENS EVEN IF I SHUT IT OFF EARLY AND PAY ATTENTION TO HOW FULL THE TANK IS. *TR

GAS OVERFLOW PROBLEM WHEN FILLING THE TANK. WHEN THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF (WHEN THE TANK IS FULL), GAS SPLASHES OUT THE FILL TUBE. *TR

GAS COMES SHOOTING OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ON MY 2008 WRANGLER EACH TIME I FILL UP. *TR

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS WHENEVER I FILL THE TANK. I ESTIMATE APPROXIMATELY 6 -10 OUNCES IS SPILLED DOWN THE BODY AND ONTO THE GROUND EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO FILL IT UP. WILL OVERFLOW EVEN WHEN I FILL IT SLOWLY. STARTED HAPPENING AT APPROX 37,000 MILES. HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2008 WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON WITH 37,000 MILES ON 1/21/2011. THE DEALER OFFERED A FREE TANK OF GAS WITH A WITH THE PURCHASE SO WE WENT DOWN TO THE LOCAL FILLING STATION AND HE PROCEEDED TO FILL THE JEEP UP . I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME AND INSIDE THE JEEP THE SMELL OF GAS WAS VERY PRONOUNCED. AS HE WALKED AWAY TO PAY THE FOR THE GAS I GOT OUT OF THE JEEP AND THERE WAS A 2FT PUDDLE OF GASOLINE BEHIND THE JEEP. HE AND I GOT BACK IN TO THE JEEP AND HE COMPLAINED THAT THE PUMP DID NOT SHUT OFF AND HAD SPILLED GASOLINE ON HIS CLOTHES AND SHRUGGED IT OFF. THIS MORNING 1/28/2011 I STOP BY TO FILL UP THE JEEP AND LOW AND BEHOLD THE PUMP CLICKED OFF WHEN FILLING UP THE JEEP AND THE ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE GASOLINE STARTED TO RUN OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK AND ONCE AGAIN A 2FT PUDDLE OF GASOLINE, SHOES AND CLOTHES WITH GAS ON THEM... NOT A GOOD START TO THE MORNING. SO CAME TO WORK AND STARTED TO SEARCH THE INTERNET AND THERE IS A LOT OF TALK OF MANY OF THIS STYLE OF JEEP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM WRITING YOU TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I THINK THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I AM PLANNING TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM ASSESS THE PROBLEM BUT I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. *TR

FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST 5000 MILES, WHEN FILLING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH GAS, ABOUT ONE SECOND AFTER THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF TO INDICATE THE TANK IS FULL OF FUEL, APPROXIMATELY 8-12 OUNCES OF FUEL IS FORCEFULLY EJECTED OUT OF THE FILL NECK. THIS OCCURS AT EVERY FILL UP REGARDLESS OF GAS STATION BRAND. *TR
