Example complaints

“Every time I fill the gas tank, ever since I first bought it, it will spill gas upon shutting the pump off at top off. This was a problem with the 07/08 models to the point of a factory tank replacement, but the 09 model is not covered for some reason and should be. It will eventually ruin the paint and possibly the bumper cosmetics as well. Please help.”
NHTSA complaint #10504001, filed 2013-03, 29,000 miles“Pulling away from a stoplight the plastic gas pedal snapped off - resulting in the inability to accelerate out of the intersection. I purchased a replacement from the local Jeep dealership that same week - and this has just occurred again (february 22nd 2013). This past time I was pulling out of a parking lot and the gas pedal snapped again. I am not an aggressive driver. There must be a flaw in this design.”
NHTSA complaint #10500644, filed 2013-02, 54,000 miles“About 1/2 a gallon of gas overflows and spills when filling up the gas tank of a 2009 Jeep wrangler. This happens everytime I fill up the tank and the side body panel and part of the rear bumper as well as the ground get soaked with gasoline. I've contacted the dealer regarding the issue but since a recent recall only includes 2007 and 2008 models, my Jeep could not get fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #10415568, filed 2011-07, 20,000 miles“My 2009 Jeep wrangler overfills every single time I try and fill-up. It has gotten tot he point that I generally try and stop filling up at about 3/4 of a tank if I can, but if I allow it to fill aon its own, it overfills and splashes out.”
NHTSA complaint #10562713, filed 2014-02, 6,000 miles“In feb 2011. I started getting fuel spitting back when filling my Jeep. Tried 5 different gas stations over the course of a month. All with the same results. Took it into the local dealership. They agreed that it was a known problem and made repairs under the 3/3600 warranty. Now the same problem is happening again. Dealership is going to take a look at it later this week. But cannot promise anything about it being covered. Even though it has been a known problem with this series of wranglers.”
