Seven problems related to other fuel system tank mounting have been reported for the 2009 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Fuel overflows and sprays out when filling tank at gas station. It happens every time we fill the tank over the last two years or so. (our Jeep has not been a primary vehicle until recently) I've never had this happen with any of the other vehicles I have driven over the last 32 years. We had planned to let our 16 year old daughter drive this vehicle. Now I have concerns that this vehicle could be too dangerous in its current state for her to drive. The amount of fuel spilled is significant. I am writing you now because my daughter had it spill out on her today.
When filling up the gas tank, gas spills out of the tank onto the fender and ground. A significant amount of gas comes out of the tank when the pump nozzle shuts off. This has happened at several different gas pumps and gas stations. Now the check engine light comes on and is related to the gas cap. I suspect this overflow problem may have damaged the vapor canister and is the ultimate cause of the check engine gas cap code. No fire yet, but the potential is a lot greater with this safety issue.
Vehicle will spit back fuel when performing a fill up (at time of filling. ). The fuel forcefully shoots out of the refuiling access point. Amount of fuel that spits back is condiderable (the better of a pint;) enough to cover the side of the vehicle, the rear bumper (as well as on myself) and will leave a consideral amount of fuel on the pavement at the gas station. I will point out that I never top off the tank. I simply fill until the fuel nozzle stops - a normal way of fueling. The "spit back" occurs within 1-2 seconds after fueiling is completed. I have checked with Chrysler, and this is a known issue. In fact, a TSB (14-001-11) as well as a warranty extension was issued for this problem, but the the extension was only issued for 2007 and 2008 models. My model (2009) is the same vehicle, however, I am not being afforded (by Chrysler) the same consideration simply due to the fact that my model year exceeds 2008. I view this as a major safety issue, especially given the fact that I at many times, I have my children in the vehicl when I need to fuel up. I truly feel this problem has not been rectified for the 2009 model year, and further believe that I should be afforded the same benefit to have this fixed at no charge - as I am experiencing the identical issue. Again, this should be addressed as it really is a safety issue. Please note that I selected that there was an "injury" due to the fact that I had been covered in gasoline, which is known to be toxic. -thank you for your help/consideration. I welcome a call to discuss further or if I can provide any more info to help.
While fueling the vehicle, after the pump auto-shut off engages, copious amounts of fuel are propelled from the tank inlet; spilling on the vehicle, service station floor, and sometimes the driver. This recently started and has happened repeatedly since the initial time, at several stations and several pumps. Our other vehicles do not display this behavior.
When filling up the gas tank a large amount of fuel will spit back out of the tank. This has occurred each time I fill my tank from 3 separate gas stations. It appears to be a significant safety hazard and environmental hazard.
When filling the vehicle up at a gas station an excessive amount of fuel will kick back out of the tank and get on the individual, the vehicle and the ground. This happens when it nears a full tank. I had the same issue on a 2007 that was recalled by Chrysler, but they tell me that they will not cover the 2009. This condition is significantly worse than my old 2007 and poses as a serious saftey concern.
When filling the fuel tank and when the gas pump automatically stops due to the tank being full, a sizeable amount of gas spills out to the pavement. It had initially begun as a sporadic occurrence a while back which I thought to be related to certain stations but for several months it has occurred every fill-up regardless of where I have gone. The amount of gas is enough that I need to clean it up at the station off the ground and around where the pump connects to the Jeep.
