After filling up vehicle with gas and driving for at least 30 minutes, when parked in the garage the smell of gas fumes would permeate the entire house. We replicated this several times and the fumes were so strong that we would have to leave the house for several hours with the windows open to ventilate. I was concerned about the vapors causing an explosion with the gas water heater in the garage. I took the vehicle the dealership where they insisted nothing was wrong after having checked it twice. I refused to take it back since it was a safety risk to my family to be at the house. Chrysler responded the dealership's request for assistance with this issue by replacing the fuel tank and vapor canister. There was no puddle or apparent leak under the vehicle at any time.

When filling the car with gas at the pump, it fails to shut off when full and pours from the tank nozzle neck and splashed down the side of the car as well as the individual filling the tank with gas. The only reason that the gas ceases to flow out of the tank is due the safety feature of the pump nozzle when it shuts down. After researching this problem online, I have learned that it is a common occurrence with this model Jeep. The is not an occasional occurrence, but one which happens every time the car is filled regardless of how the pump nozzle is place in the filler neck.
