Two problems related to fuel pump have been reported for the 2010 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Fuel Pump problem

Failure Date: 01/05/2012

2010 Jeep Wrangler rubicon unlimited: while refueling my vehicle I engaged the handle to continue fueling while I went inside the gas station. When I returned, the pump had disengaged, but there was fuel all over the side of my Jeep and on the ground. My fuel gauge registered full and this had never happened so I thought the fuel pump may have been faulty. My next trip to the gas station, I monitored it more closely and was able to refuel as normal confirming my original thought that the pump had malfunctioned. During my next attempt to refuel I had again engaged the handle to continue fueling as I sat inside the vehicle. I heard the thunk of the automatic shut off and saw again the gas had sprayed all over the side of my Jeep and on the ground. This was not the same gas station as the original occurrence so I believed the problem was actually my gas tank. I took my Jeep to the dealership where they replaced my gas tank without explanation. At this point I had approximately 22k miles on my Jeep. I purchased my Jeep new in August 2010 with 154 miles on it. I have owned it for 18 months and it has approximately 22k miles on it.

2 Fuel Pump problem

Failure Date: 06/16/2011

Was 4 wheeling and smell fuel out of the right side rear. Dealer installed o ring: fuel pump and level. Installed new fuel tank. 07/01/2011 smelled fuel coming from right rear. Dealer did smoke test and found leak at the evap canister installed new vent canister. 08/04/2011. Still smell fuel from right rear, dealer did smoke test found no leaks, but could smell fuel vapor in right rear. Stated that when off rode fuel moves more in the tank and that the Jeep is safe, and no fix at this time. How can this be true??. If I would strike a match it would explode and life could be lost.
