Whenever I am filling up my Jeep it regularly overflows causing fuel to spill all over myself, vehicle, and ground. It typically spills for a few seconds until the pump shuts off but it is a hassle, fire hazard, and costly. I am aware of many other Jeep Wrangler owners that have this problem.
- Harrisburg, PA, USA
When filling up at the gas station, gasoline spills out all over the place, runs down the side of the vehicle and spills out onto the ground.
- Prospect Park, PA, USA
The gas tank overflows and spits back gas everytime I refill the Jeep's fuel tank. When the automatic shutoff on the gas station pump is engaged the gas sprays out of the fuel cap area of the 2005 Jeep Wrangler. This happens every time regardless of the speed I am filling the tank.
- Newnan, GA, USA
When pumping gas, the gas tank overflows before the gas pump senses it is full. Happens with a 99% chance of happening and easily reproducible.
- Nashua, NH, USA
Fuel overflows at all fillups.

The contact owns a 2005 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the locking mechanism on the gas cap failed and she was unable to put fuel into her vehicle.
