1 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 10/09/2018

At every fuel fill up, gasoline splashes back out onto the vehicle, the person filling the vehicle and creates a very unsafe puddle of gasoline on the ground. There is never a time that it does not happen. I would be readily available to make my vehicle available for inspection of this concern. Chrysler has issued recalls for this exact problem on several of their vehicle models all within the same time period of manufacturing. The fuel tank inlet check valve is a widely known and dangerous issue that should be seriously considered to repair the remaining vehicles on the road with this problem. It has been documented by numerous owners of Jeep Wranglers from 2005-2006 while the same issue forced a recall of the same Jeeps in later model years, 2007-2008. The Jeep has been inspected by a certified mechanic where I was notified of much of this information. With the amount of gasoline that spills out and the motorist re-enters their vehicle, there could be a static charge that could ignite the gasoline and cause extreme personal harm and property damage. There is no indication or warning sign to alert you that it is going to splash out gasoline. I am left to rarely fill my fuel tank to the maximum level to avoid being soaked in gasoline and irritating my skin or worse. I have owned this Jeep for going on 4 years and it has been a concern since day 1. I am noting this report of having been injured but the injuries at this point are only skin irritations as a result of gasoline coming in contact with our skin. I also noted the date as the first time this happened but as mentioned before, it happens or will happen at every fill up.

2 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2018

Every time I fill the vehicle with gasoline, when the pump shuts off a large amount of gasoline �burps� out and onto the ground. This is due to a faulty check valve installed from the factory that stops working because of the ethanol in the fuel. Jeep has recalled later Wranglers for this same issue but left us 2005-2006 owners stuck with the issue. This is a safety, health, and environmental hazard. I will be glad to send you a video of this happening.

14 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 07/21/2014

While fueling my Jeep, fuel came spewing from the filler neck before the pump shut off. This caused approximately 1/8 gallon of fuel to spill on my vehicle and myself. While driving after this incident I had to pull over and get out of my vehicle as I was becoming disoriented from exposure to the fuel/fuel vapors that spilled on me. Luckily I was able to realize quickly that my level of alertness was deteriorating and was able to pull over, roll down my windows, and allow the fumes to dissipate. I feel that this is a very big safety concern that could cause a serious accident if not addressed and fixed quickly.

28 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2012

My contact with you today involves a fuel spit back problem during refueling on my 2005 Jeep Wrangler (tj). I am aware of many bulletins and recalls regarding this problem, my vehicle is included in one such bulletin however falls outside of any coverage for repair of this problem by the manufacturer. My question is; how can the manufacturer cover repairs and provide an extended or in some cases a lifetime warranty on this flaw for 2007 and 2008 vehicles and ignore all of the other model years that have the same flaw? this repair will cost me nearly one thousand dollars whereas some people get the problem resolved at no cost to them. Please help.

Everyone who is a Jeep owner knows about it and says there are some fixes, but they are lengthy. Everyone who isn't wonders why it hasn't been recalled and fixed. This is an ongoing problem that could pose a large hazard at gas stations.
