Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Every time I fill up I get a backwash of gas I tried different gas stations with the same results I googled this issue and found out this has happened to 1000's of other Jeep owners when I called my Jeep dealer they want to charge me 100's of dollars to fix the issue which I think should be a recall. Can you please help me with this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10692313, filed 2015-03, 26,000 miles“During fuel fill-up, directly after the pump automatically shuts off, a large amount of gas will spill back out of the filler hose. This happens at all gas stations. During the first time, I was standing right next to the gas and had gasoline splashed on my pants a shoes. I have to estimate the amount of fuel to put into the tank as to avoid spillage. I am afraid that if I go to a full-service station, the attendant will be doused with gas at my expense.”
NHTSA complaint #10585202, filed 2014-04, 56,784 miles“Every time I fill my car up, unless I fill it very slowly and listen carefully, gas will gush out as the tank gets full, even after I have stopped pumping. It gets everywhere and makes a mess. This seems very dangerous.”
NHTSA complaint #10786462, filed 2015-10, 50,000 miles“There is an issue with gasoline overflowing from the tank of our 2011 Liberty after the gas pump has shut off. This happens after the initial shut off as we are not topping off the tank. About 1 second after the pump stops automatically gasoline will spray out of the filler neck and all over the ground. This has happened at different filling stations; so it does not seem like a pump issue. It only happens after the pump has stopped. It does not happen while the gas pump is running.”
NHTSA complaint #10806387, filed 2015-11, 74,000 miles“Fuel sprays from filler neck while filling up. This has happened at multiple different gas stations. Its to the point I don't fill up any more I just put in $30 from empty. The pump does stop once this happens.”
