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.
The contact owns a 2005 Jeep Wrangler. When attempting to add fuel to the vehicle, the contact noticed that it would spill out onto his clothing similar to NHTSA campaign id number: 05v034000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap). The dealer advised the contact to replace the fuel tank. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was approximately 24,000 and the failure mileage was 22,500.
Each time I put fuel in my 2005 Jeep Wrangler unlimited fuel splashes out covering the filler cap, the side of the vehicle, and whatever is nearby. I do not "top off" the tank. It does it on the first shutoff click of the nozzle.
The vehicle gas filler tube over flows nearly every fill up. Gas spills out onto the Jeep and onto the ground.
My fuel tank overflows every time I fill up, spilling gasoline all over my Jeep, gas cap, and ground. Can be very dangerous, especially if standing by gas tank while filling up. What if a small kid walks up to my car when it spills out? I see 86+ complaints on this site for this exact problem and nothing has been done! it's been happening to me for well over 3 years.
2005 Jeep Wrangler near the end of filling up gas tank about every other time the pump clicks off and the fuel flows out of filler neck and all over Jeep and ground. This happens at any gas station and is hurting pant under gas cap.
When filling gas tank, fuel splashes back out of fill pipe. It doesn't matter how fast or slow the tank is filled, or what position the fill nozzle is placed in the fill opening, it splashes back out of the fill pipe, covering the side of the vehicle, as well as the person filling if standing too close. I see this as a very dangerous situation, as static electricity could easily ignite the fuel in this scenario. I've read on Jeep blogs that the cure is to replace the fuel tank due to a defective valve in the tank at the cost of over $900. But unfortunately the replacement tank is just another defective tank, as there is not an updated unit available, thus setting up another future failure. There is not recall on this, I think there should be. Please keep me advised of any actions taken in this matter. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
