general problems of the 2010 Jeep Wrangler - part 2

Fuel overflows when fueling up.

My vehicle has leaks on the supply and return transmission cooler lines. As per nhsta # 10041077, dealer and Chrysler claim that this recall doesn't apply to my vehicle VIN. I have same issue as everybody else in the recall. Oil leaking at the flex hose section of the line.

Gas will overflow at very fill up, especially when using the auto-fill lever latch on the pump handle. Many times, the gas has sprayed and soaked the attendant filling my car (I live in NJ and cannot fill the vehicle myself). The is an extreme safety hazard as many gallons have been spilled during single incidents. Most releases are approximately a 1/10 of a gallon or less but once a month or so, it is very severe and will continue to spray gas until someone manually releases the lever.

Problem started about 5 months ago. At first I thought it was a station problem as my regular station underwent a huge makeover including new pump equipment. After trying many different stations in IL and in and doing research on the net, I find it is a widespread problem. Nothing helps the huge gush of gas that pours out of my Jeep everytime I fill up!! . I've tried filling slow, filling manually (not automatic setting on pump nozzle), nothing works! I even had my husband fill it just to prove I wasnt a helpless female or dumb blonde. I dont know why it started happening. I bought the vehicle new so I know the complete vehicle history and service. After filling up yesterday and getting soaked with gasoline again, I had enough! time to complain and see what happens. This is really a serious issue and needs to be addressed. Somebody is going to get seriously injured if this is not corrected. Many times I see people around gas pumps smoking and now I not only have to watch what I'm doing, I need to make sure nobody around me is doing anything careless that could cause me harm! email was sent off to Chrysler - waiting for response as well as info from my dealer.

Problem is gas spilling from my Jeep every time during fueling. Somehow, it is not triggering the automatic shut-off valve causing fuel gashing everywhere. I never had this problem before and it only started last month. I did not alter anything on my vehicle and no accidents of any type. I'm not sure where the problem is but what I know is that this failure could be a potential safety problem if not resolved.

Gas gushes out at the end of each and every fill up.

When I'm fueling my Jeep at the gas station, the fuel system does not respond to the shut-off mechanism. As a result, gas spills out and runs down my car and on the ground. I also had the gas frequently spilling on my hands because of this issue. The problem started to occur intermittently back in November 2014. Since December 2015, it is happening every time I'm fueling my Jeep. This is extremely annoying. It also causes concerns from environmental standpoint. I also fear negative impact on my health due to this issue. Background is that the problem results in unavoidable gas spilling on my hands. When I raised this issue with my Jeep dealer, they indicated that they allegedly never heard of this issue, that they "couldn't find any problems" and that there is "nothing wrong" with the fuel system of my Wrangler. I feel that I'm not taken seriously by my Jeep dealer. I learned today that the fuel system issue is a known problem that many other Wrangler owners are struggling with, so I decided to report it to the NHTSA.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that after inspecting the vehicle rusting and corrosion to the exhaust system and all four shocks were discovered. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who examined the vehicle and indicated that the rusted parts would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no solution was offered. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 21,400. Jft.

Gasoline will shoot out of the filler tube when filling the vehicle with gas while manually pumping or using the auto shut-off of the pump handle. It occurs on almost every fill-up.

When filling up vehicle with gas, the pump shut off when full however the fuel splashed back out of the vehicle and ran down the side.

During gas fill up, when the pump automatically stops, fuel comes gushing out of the fuel fill all over the side of the vehicle and the ground.

While fueling, the auto cut off failed to stop until there was an overflow of gas spilling onto the side of the car and ground. This has occurred multiple times.

I own a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. When I fill up with gas the automatic shut off fails and has sprays out of the filler point. This has happened multiple multiple times. I do not "top off" the fuel. It sprays with force shooting out gas everywhere creating a safety and environmental hazard.

When filling up with fuel, fuel spills out filler neck when it's just about full. Does it all the time.

When fueling, gas will flow back out the filler neck after the pump shuts off.

Gas spit back on fill ups.

Fuel spit back during refueling. This has happened on multiple occassions now. Worried about potential fire hazard. Chrysler/Jeep has not yet issued a warranty extension for this model year eventhough incidents are consistent with the same reported issue in 2007-2008 Jeep Wrangler jks for which a warranty extension was issued.

I just bought my 2010 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport a little over a month ago. Just recently, past 6 fill ups, the pump will click signifying full, then spew and overflow all over side, bumper and ground. No matter how I try to fill it up, even keeping my hand on pump, it will overflow every time. It is even starting to show noticeable fading on the bumper where gas spills.

Fuel overflow when using automatic shutoff at gas pump.

Every time I fill my vehicle up with gas the pump shuts off and then the vehicle spews gas out of the fill tube. This has happened at every pump I have used at multiple gas stations. I have tried different angles and it does not help. The last time it happened gas got all over my hands and all over the vehicle. I am concerned about the paint wearing away as well as the potential safety issue of having gas under the vehicle. A significant amount comes out of the fill tube when this happens. I have seen multiple reports of this happening on different forums. It looks like a warranty was extended for 2007 and 2008 models, but not 2010's.

While filling my 2010 Jeep Wrangler unlimited with fuel it spit back on me. This has happened to me multiple times.

Approximately 5 months ago my 2010 Jeep Wrangler began overflowing at every fill up, spilling fuel all over the side of my vehicle and the ground. This had happened at different gas stations and different temperations, and no matter how slow I try to pump the fuel it still overflows. This problem began all at once and I never had an issue with it before.

While driving on a pasture the fuel line in our 2010 automatic Jeep Wrangler unlimited became detached from the clip that holds it in the automatic transmission (according to the dealer). The plastic part in the fuel line melted when it became in contact with part of the hot exhaust system. The Jeep stop running and a small fire started beneath the Jeep on the grass . We pushed the vehicle out of the way and put the fire out . There was no fire damage to the Jeep. The Jeep was repaired at labelle Dodge/Chrysler-Jeep, inc. 1-800-226-1193 invoice no. [xxx] we contacted Chrysler and we were told that happen because we took the Jeep off road. That there was nothing they could do. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the fuel sensor was faulty, which caused fuel to spew back out of the filler neck when refueling. The failure recurred on a daily basis. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the fuel sensor was faulty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 25,000.

The recent recall by Jeep on the 2010 Wranglers does not fit the situations that have been occurring. Several owners have experienced spontaneous fires, and were not in any off-road situation that could have cause debris to collect on or near the catalytic converter. They were simply driving home from work, or on the highway. One owner, who contacted me, had 16 miles on it (2012 model), and had just picked it up from the dealership. It caught on fire on his way home. Another owner had 600 miles on it (another 2012 model) and it was sitting in front of his home. Numerous have not been on the 2010 models either. The debris that "collected" under my vehicle was not burned up in the fire, and not even in that same location. I believe that this "recall" is Jeep's attempt to bandage a larger issue they are hiding from the public. Video from my fire clearly shows a liquid (tranny fluid or fuel) pouring from the vehicle from the very beginning of the fire. My feeling is that it's a tranny cooler overflow problem, or a bad fuel line connection. Here is a link to the facebook page that I created for others to post their experiences. . Read more...

Every time I fill my Jeep up, fuel spills out all over the ground, the side of the car, and on my person which I find very hazardous. This is a reoccurring issue that has been addressed by Jeep in earlier models, but they are not addressing it with my model. This is unacceptable and dangerous.
