“I have a 2009 Jeep wrangler that spews gas everytime I fill up, this seems to be a big problem with the 2007-2010 jeeps. It also have a bad clockspring from hitting a bump, another thing that goes bad often in the 2007-2010 jeeps.”
NHTSA complaint #10395517, filed 2011-04, 2,000 miles“When filling up with gasoline, the pump shuts off automatically when the tank is full then gas flows back out of the car and spills all over the ground. This has happened ever since I owned the Jeep and they want to charge $1500 to fix a design flaw. The gas volume that spills is at least a quart and creates a dangerous situation.”
NHTSA complaint #11219621, filed 2019-06, 98,000 miles“When fueling up the gas pumps continually shut off every few seconds. Gas comes out of the filler tube onto me, the vehicle and the ground. No fire yet. Had this fixed under warranty a couple years back and now happening again???”
NHTSA complaint #10568574, filed 2014-03, 40,105 miles“Splash back of gasoline when beginning to fuel vehicle. Gas pump continues to shut off throughout the refueling process as if the tank is full. Gasoline can only be added a few seconds at a time. Splash back throughout the refueling process.”
