Gas tank overflows on every fill - no matter which gas station, pump, etc (all over the East coast) the auto shutoff fires only after a cup or more of gas is spilled.

I have a 2006 Jeep Wrangler unlimited. Almost every time the vehicle is fueled up, a significant quantity of gasoline is forcefully ejected/sprayed from the filler neck as the pump shuts off. This is not a "top-off" situation it is on the first and only attempt. This has occurred at multiple stations and multiple pumps at those stations. This has been an ongoing safety and environmental problem.
During fillup, fuel will eject out of the tank opening nearly every time. The gas stations pump will shut off when it detects a full tank, but about 1 second later gasoline will erupt out onto the Jeep's body, the filler hose, and sometimes myself.

About 50% of the time I fill my Jeep's tank it will gush fuel when the pump shuts off. I've tried going to different gas stations and it still happens. None of my other cars do this.

This complaint is that I have a 06 Jeep Wrangler that each time someone fills the gas tank with fuel it overflows. This happens at every gas station that it has ever been filled up at. It is a hazard that fuel spills out over the ground each time that it is filled up. The fuel tank has to be fixed.
My '06 Jeep Wrangler overflows with gas every time I fill up now. It began doing this about a month or so ago, and now does it every time I fill up regardless of how slow I try to pump the gas. Gas spits out of the filler tube all over the Jeep and the ground. Several days ago my wife, who was unaware of the problem, drove my Jeep and as a kind gesture thought she would fill it up for me. As a result, she ended up getting gas splashed on to her clothes, the Jeep, and the surrounding ground. This is not an isolated problem. I have come to learn that many Jeep Wrangler owners are experiencing the same problem. Jeep has identified the problem as being a stuck check ball that is causing the problem. To remedy the situation, they recommend that you buy a new gast tank. However, no changes have been made to the new gas tanks, so it is only a matter of time before you would start to experience the same problems again. Unfortunately, most of us are recently out of warranty and Jeep is refusing any other help. Besides the obvious personal hazards that are associated with this problem, you also face an environmental hazard every time you need to fuel up your vehicle. I sincerely hope that you can help me and tens of thousands of other Jeep owners who are experiencing these problems before serious injury or deaths occur from this defect.
