When putting gas in fuel tank in Jeep when filling up to full mark gas comes out of spout and runs down the side of Jeep. This happens every time the Jeep is filled up. At any gas station.
During fill up of the fuel tank, fuel sprays out of the filler hole resulting in a heath hazard, fire hazard, & environmental hazard. This needs to be addressed!
Fuel over flows when fueling the vehicle at gas station fuel blows out of the tank all over the ground.. this is a environmental issue.. and fire hazard.
When filling up the tank, the shutoff does not work at any gas station. The fuel shoots out of the tank. This is highly dangerous and results in me not being able to fill up my vehicle. In addition, I worry that the shutoff would not work in case of rollover.
Happens periodically, no forewarnings just happens, always when going slow or reversing like to park or back into parking spot.....unintended acceleration....scares the bejebers out of the person driving, since you never know when it's gonna happen.....I bought the Jeep used (like maybe a year old) with 14, --- miles on it...now have about 52, --- miles on it....all street driving, no off road driving..has happened from the beginning when I bought it...
When fueling, gas overflows every time no matter how careful in fueling and when pump shuts off automatically it gushes out creating hazardous situation, not to mention environmental issues.
Gas erupts from fill tube when pump clicks off, spilling on side of vehicle and on ground, happens every time the pump is allowed to run until it automatically clicks off.
Gas erupts from fill tube when pump clicks off, spilling on side of vehicle and on ground. Happens whenever pump is allowed to run till it automatically clicks off.
While filling up at a gas station, the fuel pump did not "automatically shut off" and shot roughly 1/4 gallon of gasoline out on the side of the vehicle and on the ground. Thoroughly cleaned vehicle but still smelt gasoline vapors inside of the cab for 30 minutes with the window down. Did some research and found it is due to the vehicle's icv becoming stuck in the open position, which builds pressure inside of the gas tank, allowing the filler neck to fill with gasoline, and then releases the pressure which propells the gasoline out of the filler neck and onto the ground. In order to fix this problem I must replace the entire gas tank.
My contact with you today involves a fuel spit back problem during refueling on my 2005 Jeep Wrangler (tj). I am aware of many bulletins and recalls regarding this problem, my vehicle is included in one such bulletin however falls outside of any coverage for repair of this problem by the manufacturer. My question is; how can the manufacturer cover repairs and provide an extended or in some cases a lifetime warranty on this flaw for 2007 and 2008 vehicles and ignore all of the other model years that have the same flaw? this repair will cost me nearly one thousand dollars whereas some people get the problem resolved at no cost to them. Please help.
Spits fuel every time I fill up, no matter where or how slowly I fill it. 3-5 ounces of fuel spit back out every fill up, on first auto shut off occasionally fuel is expelled forcefully enough to splash on objects18-24 inches away.
When filling up the gas tank the gas pump automatically switches off when the tank is full (like it does with any other car), however with the Jeep gasoline immediately gushes out of the filler hole. I'd estimate that at least a pint to a quart of fuel spills (and sometimes sprays) out. If someone is standing near-by they will get soaked with gasoline. This doesn't always happen, but seems to be occurring more frequently. Not only is this an inconvenience, it's an environmental hazard and a fire risk. What happens if someone's pant-leg gets soaked in gasoline (as has happened to me) and then they pick-up a mild static charge when entering/ exiting the vehicle (which is not uncommon). Someone is going to get hurt. I cannot let anyone put gas in the Jeep (like my wife). Anyone who is not familiar with this 'quirk' will likely get soaked with fuel at some point when filling up the Jeep.
The vehicle will spill gas out of the filler neck every time after the pump handle shuts off. It doesn't matter if I use the lowest setting on the gas pump or if I manually use as little pressure as possible. It overfills every single time and gas pours out of the fill spout running down the body of the vehicle on my hand on my clothes and on the ground.
Every time I fill up with fuel, it spills and splashes all over the place causing puddles of fuel all over the ground and running down the side of my vehicle.
