When pumping fuel into the 2010 Wrangler unlimited instead of the pump cutting off it spews gas out of the tank. Thinking it may be a pump failure I ignored. This problem has happened at every gas pump I go to. You can pump gas very slowly into the tank and when you think you are getting near release, but this does not fix the underlying problem with the gas tank. This is a safety hazard which could lead to potential fire issues, along with eroding paint. I have to get a car wash whenever this happens. The gas gets on my clothes and shoes. This problem also affects my job. The are numerous videos on you tube detailing this problem.
2010 Jeep Wrangler rubicon unlimited: I recently took my Jeep to the dealership to attend to another recall and check out some problems - overflowing gas tank, squealing brakes, rough idle in traffic, increasingly rough and loud ride. I purchased my Jeep new 18 months ago and it now has approximately 22K miles. They replaced the gas tank which I now understand is a common issue on the 2010 rubicons. They told me I needed to replace both rotors which are no longer covered under warranty due to debris getting caught between the brake pad and rotor on both rear brakes. And, they explained the loud/rough ride was from the uneven wear on my front tires. The tread on my front tires showed severe cupping. The tech said it was from not rotating my tires often enough and this is a common problem on Jeep since the front has more "play" and the rear is more "solid". he said there was nothing wrong with my Jeep. I questioned whether the significant uneven wear was acceptable after only 22K miles. He offered no other solution other than rotating the damaged tires to the back and wait for them to wear evenly. My concern was rotating the tires would just create issue with my other two tires as well. He said it's just normal and I'd need to replace all of my tires soon anyway. With the age of the vehicle being only 18 months with 22K miles, I question if this issue is not related to my suspension.
2010 Jeep Wrangler rubicon unlimited: While refueling my vehicle I engaged the handle to continue fueling while I went inside the gas station. When I returned, the pump had disengaged, but there was fuel all over the side of my Jeep and on the ground. My fuel gauge registered full and this had never happened so I thought the fuel pump may have been faulty. My next trip to the gas station, I monitored it more closely and was able to refuel as normal confirming my original thought that the pump had malfunctioned. During my next attempt to refuel I had again engaged the handle to continue fueling as I sat inside the vehicle. I heard the thunk of the automatic shut off and saw again the gas had sprayed all over the side of my Jeep and on the ground. This was not the same gas station as the original occurrence so I believed the problem was actually my gas tank. I took my Jeep to the dealership where they replaced my gas tank without explanation. At this point I had approximately 22K miles on my Jeep. I purchased my Jeep new in August 2010 with 154 miles on it. I have owned it for 18 months and it has approximately 22K miles on it.
Gas tank overfill issue. During fill ups the pump will shut off automatically as intended. Within seconds a quantity of gas will surge from the filler neck and leak down the side. The quantity is a significant amount. Per my records from previous fill ups (where this is not an issue) no significant change in quantity of gas or mileage driven has occurred. Attempts to limit the problem by filling up at 1/2 tank did not help. Slowing the fill rate does not help most of the time.

When filling up with gas, it does not shut off when full. It shoots fuel up and out of the filler tube soaking the side of the Jeep, the bumper, the fuel filler wand, and anyone standing close. This is a serious issue. It happens every time filling to full.
The fuel tank overflows when doing fill up every time. It happens at all gas stations and I never try to "top off" the tank. I do not want a fire, so my concern is for more than my ruined shoes and deteriorating paint near the tank. I have read of many others who have had this issue and is yet unresolved.
Fuel spills out of the filler port during the refueling process. This condition generally occurs when the fuel tank is filled to the full or nearly full level and the gas pump automatically shuts or clicks off. The fuel splashes on the person fueling the car, the car itself, and onto the ground. This happens repeatedly, not just a single occurrence.
On the first day Jeep gave me my new truck I took the Jeep to the nearest gas station to fill up the tank for the first time. When the tank filled up, it spilled fuel all over the ground, truck and gas station personnel who was refueling the truck ( there is personnel in charge of refueling in gas stations in my country : peru southamerica ) my 2010 Jeep Wrangler rubicon unlimited 4 dr was bought on this February of 2011, and keeps having the same problem. My concern is that since my truck is not on the U.S territory ( but manufactured on the U.S ) Jeep on my country will try to avoid taking care of many of the recalls been made already to the braking system, which I have read after I bought the truck. Is every Jeep dealer ( even outside U.S ) obligated to call his Jeep Wrangler customers for recalls "?"..... cause they have not told me anything yet about everything written on the web.
