Gas tank overflows, will not cause filler nozzle to shut off.
When filling gas tank, pump nozzle will not shut off automatically. Consistent problem at every gas station, resulting in gasoline spilling out onto side of vehicle and onto ground before nozzle shuts off. Jeep has only 8,500 miles on it.
Every time I fill the tank on my Jeep, it dumps fuel when it is full. Usually spraying all over me and the side of the Jeep.
My gas tank overfills when pumping gas instead of shutting off when it is full.
My 2006 Jeep Wrangler spits gasoline out at me when filling the vehicle! it always happens when nearing full, no matter what I do to try to avoid it from happening. Sometimes it spits forcefully, hard enough to get gasoline on me, sometimes it's just a minor spit that just dribbles down the vehicle. Either way, it occurs every time I attempt to fill the tank to full. I have resorted to only putting 10 gallons of gasoline in at a time, and only if the fuel guage reads below 1/4, to ensure I don't have to experience the gasoline spit-back. No parts have been replaced or repaired yet.
My 2006 Jeep Wrangler spews gas out when I'm filling the tank. It happens every time I put gas in it. It comes out in a gush, splashing all over me and the side of the Jeep. I haven't had any parts repaired or repaired yet.
Gas tank over flow every time I fill my Wrangler unlimited with gas. Jeep says only 07 and 08 are recalled not 06. They don't think a quart of gas all over the Jeep and the ground, hello, is a problem, wow unreal. Maybe e. P. A should care. Apparently all 05 an 06 Wranglers were not recalled outrageous!!! Jeep and the e. P. A should care a lot more about our environment!! its disgusting and something has to be done about it. Ps I bought my Jeep used previous owner never told me about the problem but from what I read all do the same.
My 2006 Jeep Wrangler has developed a consistent failure to stop pumps at gas stations from continuing to pump fuel even though the tank is full. As a result, gasoline is spat out from the filler neck of the gas tank like a burst from a fountain, splashing out on the ground, on the side of the vehicle, and generally on me, the operator of the gas pump. It started about a year ago, and it now exhibits this behavior consistently every time I fill up. This is a problem not only due to the cumulative environmental impact of spilling out raw gasoline and of ruining clothing and resulting in carrying with me the strong smell of gasoline all day at work and at home, but it is also a clear and appalling safety hazard with raw gasoline splashed around. The Jeep dealership has recommended a very costly replacement of the entire gas tank assembly at my own expense and has said that this will only temporarily relieve the symptoms, that the design has not changed and thus the problem will continue to resurface.
Gasoline spill each time fuel tank is filled. At about the same time the tank reaches full and shuts off the gas flow at the nozzle a large volume of gasoline rushes out of the filler neck of the vehicle and onto the pavement. Potentially dangerous situation and quite prevalent in this model vehicle.
When filling the gas tank on my Jeep Wrangler it overflows before the pump automatically shuts off. This happens at many different gas stations, so I do think it's a particular pump or station.
When refueling, tank overflows before the nozzle shuts off causing fuel to spill out and all over the side of the Jeep and onto the ground.
I own a 2006 Jeep Wrangler. Many times when I fill the gas tank the fuel does not shut off and spills fuel on the vehicle and ground.
When I attempt to fill my gas tank, the gas comes back out of the tank. I have tried this by going slow & when the gas shuts off, I shake the Jeep to get the air out of the tank - when I do this the air pocket pushes gas back out of the tank even when I don't have the fuel nozzle still in the tank. This isn't the first time that this has happened - I purchased the Jeep in st. Augustine, FL in Jan. , 2011 & I had to get gas right after purchasing it. The first time I had the auto shut-off on the gas filler - it clicked off & gas started flowing back out of the tank. At first I thought that the gas filler nozzle was defective, & notified the convenience store about the overflow - I asked for some "dry agent" to capture the gas that had spilled over. The attendant shut the pump station down, & said they would call someone to check out the filler nozzle. The next time that I needed gas (back in orlando, FL) the Jeep was back near empty (fuel light "on"). I used the auto click-off on the filler - same[xxx], different day! I heard the "click" of the auto-shut off & within a second, gas was pouring back out of the fuel neck of the Jeep. People who were pumping their own gas heard the fuel come out of the tank (and heard me curse, lol!) they couldn't believe what they saw. I'm not sure how much fuel poured back out of the fuel neck of the Jeep (and the tank for that matter), but there was a pool of fuel on the ground. I notified the fuel attendant of the situation & they didn't have any dry-sorb chemical to absorb the fuel. I used paper towels to clean it up. Now I have to resort to fill the Jeep with no more than 12 gallons (no more shaking or the fuel may come back out). I've been told that the internal valve is defective or that the use of ethanol in the Jeep has destroyed the internal valve. I don't give a [xxx] what has caused it - this is a dangerous situation that needs to be resolved. There are thousands of Jeeps that have the same problem - do your job NHTSA.

Every time I fill the gas tank, gas overflows out of the tank and onto the body of the Jeep and the ground. I have tried to fill the last couple of gallons slow but it still overflows.
Faulty fuel tank causes fuel spill every time tank is filled. I bought this Jeep a year ago and every single time I've filled the tank it spits back fuel when the tank is filled. I would guess 4-5 ounces of fuel get spilled on the ground every time the tank is filled. Dealership diagnosed the problem and says the tank is faulty and needs to be replaced.
When fueling up with gas, the nozzle will shut off when tank is full and gas will then overflow out of the tank fill spout. This happens at every fueling at every gas station now. This is a sudden and new occurrence as the vehicle has never done this prior to this year. ( I have owned since new 2006) as imagined gas will flow out onto the vehicle, ground, person filling gas, etc.
My 2006 Jeep Wrangler unlimited rubicon spits gasoline out of the fill spout at every fill up unless manually shut-off before tank is full.
Fuel spews from fuel tank during fill up. Fuel nozzle would shut off normally until recently it has now become a problem. This should not happen and this problem is potentially very dangerous to not only myself but to others sharing adjacent pumps not to mention the environment.
2006 rubicon with 40k miles. Fuel sprays out from the gasoline fill tube and runs down the outside of the vehicle onto the pavement every time the vehicle is refueled. The dealership says the fuel tank must be replaced to correct the issue. It doesn't make sense to pay for a new fuel tank with the same defect. This is apparently a widespread issue and should be recalled.
Fuel spills out during regular pumping at gas station. This happens during the end of the pumping when the tank is almost full. Gasoline will shoot out of the filler spout and onto the ground.
Fuel always spews out of tank when filling up. Will not activate pump auto-shut-off. Extremely dangerous condition!.
Fuel spits out of tank when filling no matter how you fill tank . Will spit fuel on ground on auto fill or manual fill any station. Have had fule on my shoes at times must stand back around corner of Jeep.
1. Refilling fuel tank. 2. Once tank is full and pump handle turns off; a surge of fuel is spit out of the fuel filler, onto the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. This happens every time I refill the tank. 3. No corrective action has been taken.
The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that when refueling, fuel would leak onto the ground. The dealer repaired the failure by replacing the fuel tank but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 16,000 and the current mileage was 40,000.
Every time I fill up my gas tank, it will overflow and leak gas all over the ground and along the side of the car.
When refueling our Jeep the pump does not shut off in time spraying fuel all over the side of the vehicle and ground. To fix this the dealer wants to replace the fuel tank. This is a very common across the board Chrysler problem that they are not owning up to.
Gasoline overflows every time when filling tank on 2006 Jeep Wrangler. It is ridiculous that this dangerous issue has not been resolved.
Fuel spills out on me and surrounding area when filling the gas tank. This event happens every time I fill the tank. I cannot use the automatic fuel shutoff on the fuel nozzels as gas is spilled (about . 5 cup) on the surrounding area. This is a fire hazard.
When filling the gas tank in my 2006 Jeep Wrangler tj, the fuel overflows and spills/splashes all over the side of the vehicle, and ground. Jeep knows about this issue but refuses to do anything about it.
Gas tank overfills at every fill-up. Gas shoots out all over and has gotten on clothes on several occasions. This seems dangerous.
When filling the gas tank the gas overflows in a spray or stream without tripping the pump shutoff. It also at times will only fill when filling extremely slow.
When filling my gas tank at any gas station, the gas spills (or actually shoots out) out. This is a serious safety and environmental issue. I just took it to the shop after getting gas all over me. I spent $100 on diagnostics. I have heard that this is a known problem and Jeep/Chrysler is too cheap to cover it by recall. I've heard of a group that is talking to tort attorneys so I will look into that next.
When filling up my gas tank, fuel blows out of the (gas fill up opening) when. . . It almost reaches full (about 6 gallons to go). In the last year it done this about 15 times.
When refueling the vehicle, gasoline is spit back out of the filler neck when the automatic shutoff releases and the tank is full. If the filler nozzle has splash guard, spilled fuel runs down the side of the vehicle on to the ground. Otherwise fuel is shot out up to 5 feet and cover anything or anybody within the radius of the spill. No remedy found, it always happens.
Gastank overflows when filling.
