“On sept 3, 2019 I was driving at 45 MPH when the engine stalled and I coasted to a stop. Engine restarted after many attempts, drove about 50 feet when engine stalled again. Overcome by a strong smell of gas I exited the car and saw fuel coming out from under the engine. As the car sat the fuel leak subsided. Towed to the dealer we bought the car from (zeigler of downers grove) tow truck driver stated I was lucky it didn't start on fire. …”
NHTSA complaint #11254018, filed 2019-09, 18,800 miles“Was fueling up today and the pump was turning off like I was topped off but my gage was on 'e'. Then with me holding the pump gas started shooting out onto me and my SUV. I had gas all over the side of my car and after I paid I had a large puddle under my car also. I only fill up at meijer and normally get 22 gallons in my tank. I was only able to get 11 gallons in. My SUV only has 4600 miles on it. Something is wrong here”
NHTSA complaint #11043895, filed 2017-11, 4,600 miles“Twice while in motion, after making a turn and slowing from 35 to about 14 MPH, the engine stalled. Once in dec 2017, next in may 2018, I had to come to a complete stop in both cases in order to start the engine. Fortunately no one was behind me.”
NHTSA complaint #11098758, filed 2018-05, 5,820 miles“Bought my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee trailhawk used with 10,600 miles on it. Gas issues from the get go: when getting gas, the gas pump shuts off ever few seconds like the gas tank is full only allowing a few cents worth of gas to actually go in the vehicle. I have been to multiple gas stations and the same issue occurs at all of them, tried turning the nozzle to different angles and almost holding it all the way out of and in the tank, it does not matter though. …”
NHTSA complaint #11079465, filed 2018-03, 14,990 miles“I just purchased this vehicle and upon going to the gas station to fill up, when you put the pump handle into the cap less tank, the gas pump does not allow the gas to flow into the tank without holding the pump handle at half pressure. In looking online there is an issue with the fill neck of the gas tank. I have tried this at multiple gas stations originally thinking it was the pump itself, not the vehicle. From my understanding this is a known issue with Jeep as something being wrong with the evap valve in the fill neck.”
