When filling the gas tank the gas overflows and spills on the car.
- Brentwood, TN, USA
After fueling the 2008 Jeep Wrangler unlimited X the fuel backflows alot. This seems dangerous, as in what if a fire sparks up at the gas station pump.
- Gaylord, MI, USA
Gas and air spit/spill back out of fuel filler neck tube when refueling at gas station pump. Gas runs down fender/fender flare. Problem began around 55-60,000 miles. Jeep continues to give off strong gas vapor odor when parked in garage even weeks after refueling.
- Yardley, PA, USA
When filling the fuel tank at the gas station if gas pump is on high fuel backsplashes on the vehicle and onto the ground. This is a common problem amongst many Jeep Wrangler owners. Dealership denies any problem. You ask below when did this happen well I will list one date but it happens 50% of the time when filling the Jeep up. I bought the Jeep in 2011 with 40,000 miles on it and has been doing it ever since.
- Monroe, MI, USA
Fuel does not stop filling when tank is full. About a cup or two of fuel overflows before pump stops. This happens at all pumps and has been ongoing for a few weeks. Most recent date is noted.
- Brighton, MA, USA
Fueling up the Jeep with the auto shut off at filling stations now causes about 2 cups of gasoline puking out the filler and onto myself, vehicle, and ground. This now happens every fill up.

- Shreveport, LA, USA
The contact owns a 2008 Jeep Wrangler. While the vehicle was being fueled, fuel exited the filler tube and spilled onto the contact and vehicle. The contact called a local dealer (stafford Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge of springfield, 7611 loisdale rd, springfield, va 22150) and was informed that the failure may be due to the fuel tank and/or filler tube. The repair would cost $900. The contact declined to pay and believed it should be covered under a recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The failure mileage was 51,000.

When refueling the gas tank it overflows gas all over on the ground. It does not automatically shut off when tank is full.
- Davidsonville, MD, USA
Car at random will not start, lights will not work or radio will stop working... check engine light stays on without any engine issues... to pump fuel it takes 20 minutes to fill it up you can't walk away or it will over flow... Jeep left me sit the other day and no garage can tell me whats wrong with it... its not the starter...
- Williamsport, PA, USA
Driver's side front seat belt latch occasionally does not latch also occasionally will not release without having to open roof pull seat belt slack all the way out and stand up in seat to get out of vehicle. Then have to hit and work with latch approximately 2-3 before it will release. If in an accident not sure if seatbelt latch will hold forces or not let you out of a possible burning car. Also fuel backflows from fill inlet at every fillip if I do not stop it before full.
- Weaverville, NC, USA
Jeep is spitting back fuel during fill up. Chrysler is telling me that my Jeep is not covered under the extended warranty that other 2008 Jeep Wrangler have now been given. I have videos of this spitback happening. (inlet check valve defect) one dealer said it was covered but Chrysler says no. Have been trying to get Chrysler to repair it for 2 years now.
- Glendale, AZ, USA
Gas overflows and spills out during every fueling. I think it is an inlet check valve issue. Gas tank also leaks gas around the fuel pump seal. Smells like gas outside the vehicle
- North Liberty, IA, USA
Purchased this Jeep in 2010. Every since I purchased it, the gas spills out from the tank when I fill it up, unless I squeeze the gas nozzle very slowly and carefully. When the gas spills out, it goes on my clothing, the Jeep, and onto the ground. This is a health problem, a safety issue, and an environmental issue. Jeep should fix this for free!!!
- Kapaa, HI, USA
The contact owns a 2008 Jeep Wrangler. While the vehicle was being refueled, fuel ejected from the tank. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 200.
- Allenton, MI, USA
When fueling the gas pump isn't triggered to shut off until gas has already came out the top of the fueling neck. This causes gas to spill down the side of the vehicle and have a gas spill at the fueling station. This happens at every station I fill up at.
- Bladensburg, OH, USA
Air bag light is on from a defective clock spring and the vehicle still spits out gas when I fill up.
