The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that when driving over a pot hole or any uneven road surface, the front end of the vehicle would shake violently. The failure recurred when the contact was traveling 45 mph or above. The contact would have to stop driving momentarily in order to stop the shaking failure. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where the steering shock was replaced, but did not correct the failure. The contact also stated that when the vehicle was filled with gasoline, fuel would spill out of the tank. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 67,000.
Every time I pump gas now, the pump will stop and then discharge a fairly large amount of gas. Probably around a half gallon. I feel that with these discharge of gas being every time I fill up is a safety issue and needs to be looked in to. If there is ever a spark when it discharges it will indefinitely cause a fire that has the likely hood of causing injury or death to me and whoever else is around when it happens. Also, I know that it is not only my Jeep that is having the problem. My friends Jeep does the same thing. He told me that one time the pump did not stop and gas was shooting from his gas tank.
When filling my Jeep Wrangler jk model X with gasoline, using multiple gas pumps from many different companies, it fills all the way to the top and spills over out of the Jeep. This happens every time I fill up.

When filling the fuel tank, fuel will overflow out of the filling tube, thus causing several ounces of fuel to spill out. Thus coating the side of my Jeep as well as the group with highly flammable gasoline. It doesn't seem to matter how fast or slow the tank is filled, it overflows every time. Gas also contains aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (btex) these chemicals are harmful to both humans and the environment.
Every time I fill my 2007 Jeep Wrangler up at the gas station I get a huge explosion of gas that shoots out of the fueling area toward me when my tank reaches full and the pump clicks off. It is extremely dangerous because it spews at a high rate toward my face.
About one second after the pump shuts off automatically 6 to 8oz of fuel is expelled out of the vehicle running out all over the car and ground. Was found to be faulty inlet check valve on Wrangler manufactured between 03/01/07 and 03/31/08. My vehicle was manufactured on 11/08/06 but I am experiencing the same problem. Jeep refuses to rectify the problem as my manufacture date is out of the specified date range. I believe it should be expanded as I have read about many other Jeep having this same problem. This problem is a dangerous safety concern that should be repaired at the cost of the manufacturer because of a defective part.
The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the fuel tank overflowed a quarter of a tank whenever he refueled. The dealer was notified and stated that there were no recalls addressing the failure. The contact was informed that they were extending the warranties on other vehicles, but his vehicle was not included. They offered no other assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000.
While filling it with gas, it overflows and then clicks off after it has spilled enough to reach the ground. Maybe 2 cups of gas goes all over the body of the vehicle, and onto the ground. I can hear air pressure sometimes just before it spurts gas, but not soon enough to prevent the spill. This condition happens every time it is filled now.
