Wrangler

  • 80,000 miles
Gas tank takes forever to fill, clicks every.25 gal or less and have to start refueling all over again till full, also almost always will overfill. Spoke to many Jeep owners and this is common issue with Jeep. Look at message boards Jeep seems aware of issues but they don't fix issue. Always fuel flat surface at gas stations and this happens at every gas station pump I've tried.

problem #135

Jun 012019

Wrangler

  • 44,000 miles
When filling my Jeep with fuel, the fuel pump does not shut off quickly enough and gasoline splatters out of the tank and onto my hands, cloths, Jeep and ground. This happens every time regardless where I fill up. I use qt, bp and shell stations. Some are new and some or old. This can not be a pump issue but a Jeep issue.

Wrangler

  • 100,000 miles
I bought this Jeep brand new and almost from the start when filling up at the gas station. When the tank is full the nozzle shuts off then a lot of gas comes out the fill pipe I have tried different gas stations all the same problems. I have tried going slow took almost 20 minutes to fill the gas tank and still gas come splashing out of the fill pipe. I think their is something defective in the fill pipe that doesn't trigger the shut off in the nozzle fast enough.

problem #132

Mar 012018

Wrangler

  • 40,000 miles
Gasoline splashes back when tank gets refueled while vehicle is stationary at the pump. I've experienced this issue since at least March of 2018. My mechanic suggests that this problem should be recognized as a defect necessitating a recall. Google search informs that this seems to be a common and ongoing problem for other Wrangler owners as well. You'll find video's posted by others on youtube.

Major gas spillage after stopping the pump. Gas goes everywhere. This is seriously dangerous!

- Westbrook, ME, USA

problem #127

Nov 022018

Wrangler

  • 85,000 miles
When filling the gas tank it regularly overflows if I don't manually stop the pump prior to the automatic shut off occurring when it detects a full tank. This happened at multiple gas stations of multiple brands so it's not isolated to one station or pump type. This is dangerous because fuel spills all over my car as well as the ground at the pump.

- Chalfont, PA, USA

problem #126

Wrangler

  • 89,000 miles
Every time I fill the gas tank it overflows. This seems to be a widespread issue.

problem #125

Oct 122018

Wrangler

  • miles
Fuel tank leak out of evap line connection. Part is plastic and non-replaceable, requiring replacement of entire fuel tank. Appears to be common problem as fuel tank is on significant backorder (I can afford to replace tank at cost of $1000 for a $1 part failure). While fuel tank is on back order, the tank continues to leak from broken, irreplaceable plastic part.

- Huntsville, AL, USA

problem #124

Jun 252018

Wrangler

  • 90,000 miles
When fueling to full, the tank almost always overfills, the safety switch on the gas pump does not trip (no matter what station I use). I must monitor it closely and guess how much fuel I need and stop the pump early.

- Saint Joseph, MI, USA

problem #123

Jun 222018

Wrangler

  • 102,000 miles
My vehicle has an issue with fuel spilling out of the tank and on to the ground each time I fill up. I do not top off the tank nor do I use the fastest setting on the pump to deliver the fuel. It is known issue by the manufacturer and a warranty bulletin has been issued for previous model years. The manufacturer nor the dealerships take responsible action on repairing the safety and environmental issue. They instead ask consumers to front the costs and save receipts in the event a recall is issued in the future for reimbursement. I am writing this hopes that your Agency will investigate and issue the recall if necessary so this problem can be fixed.

Wrangler

  • 100 miles
Every time I fill my gas tank, I spill a lot of gas out the fill neck. It occurs no matter how slow or fast I fill. It spit gas out almost like it's burping. I have researched this problem and it is a very common problem.

- Melber, KY, USA

problem #120

Oct 042017

Wrangler

  • 16,000 miles
Every time I fill the gas tank, gas splashes back onto the pavement (or my clothing if I am standing near the fill pipe). This is a well known, and dangerous, problem that Jeep owners are aware of (per the on-line forums). I understand that there was a recall or service bulletin related to earlier models of Jeep Wrangler. Two dealers I went to deny any knowledge of this problem with 2010 Wrangler. On-line forums indicate that this is a continuing problem on newer Wrangler and that dealers are charging $200 - $600 to fix the problem when a simple solution for many owners has been to personally install part cnnnx321ac ($40) which is a replacement fuel fill tube that has some sort of mechanism in it to prevent splash back. I installed this part and it solved the problem. The dealers I went to said they were not aware of this fix. I think that Chrysler should be paying for this fix. Instead they are denying that there continues to be a problem on the newer vehicles. I can't emphasize enough how dangerous this problem is.
