Ten problems related to other fuel system tank mounting have been reported for the 2010 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problem

Failure Date: 10/19/2020

Fuel spills out of gas tank filler tube onto side of Jeep and onto ground every time fill up tank. Wife normally drives Jeep and didn't tell me when this started happening, but I think has been going on now for more than a year but she didn't investigate it online or report it to your staff. Then she went out of town few days ago and when I filled tank on 10/19/20 it overflowed a very noticeable amount of gas onto side of Jeep when using automatic pump shutoff nozzle at costco. Online research indicated fca was aware of this defect in 2007-2008 Jeep Wranglers and TSB issued in 2011 to cover free repair of valve, but although this is the same exact problem, could not find recall or TSB for 2010 Jeep Wranglers. Quick check online indicates many others with Jeep Wranglers built after 2008 having exact same problem. Never had a vehicle do this before, but it is a serious defect and should be fixed for free under a recall or TSB, as was done with the 2007/2008 Jeeps. Please let me know if you need and more info.

2 Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problem

Failure Date: 02/20/2018

When I fill my tank and the nozzle shuts off a significant amount of gas spews out of the fill hole.

3 Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problem

Failure Date: 12/19/2016

The vehicle would spit gas out of the filler pipe after the pump would click off. The problem then developed into not letting me put gas in at all without the pump clicking off many times for a small amount of fuel. Replacing the tank fixed the problem. This problem has been well documented from 2007-2012 but Jeep only recalled or extended the warranty on models 2007-2008.

4 Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problem

Failure Date: 08/13/2016

When filling the gas tank, fuel comes gushing out from the filler hole. This happens just as the gas pump clicks off. It spills a large amount of fuel all over the car and me. I would estimate 1/2 cup to 1 cup of gas spills depending on how quickly the gas pump is running. From my research so far this is not recalled and not under warranty. This seems like an extremely dangerous defect that was present and covered for 2007-2008 models. 2010 models need to be looked at and covered. This could be a potentially fatal defect.

5 Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2014

The fuel shutoff for filling up the tank no longer works. If you fill up the vehicle, when the shutoff clicks fuel gushes out. When you remove the fuel nozzle, more fuel gushes out. I use the term gush because it is not a small amount but quite a bit of fuel.

6 Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problem

Failure Date: 10/05/2014

Fuel overflows every time I fill up. If I fill the tank to the auto shutoff point a fair amount of fuel spits out and down the side of the vehicle. This is a potential fire hazard, and not very good for the environment. So now I only put three fourths in so I don't have it pouring out and onto my Jeep.

7 Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problem

Failure Date: 09/11/2014

I purchased the vehicle in September of 2014 for my 16 year old daughter. Every time we attempt to fill up the fuel tank, the pump doesn't cut off and gas spews all down the Jeep and whoever is pumping the fuel. I did some internet research and found it was a common problem with the Jeep and had hoped the vehicle would have been recalled by now to fix. I took it to the dealer and was told the gas tank has to be replaced to fix the problem at a cost of $1,300 and that the tanks were on backorder. Since I don't think it is safe for my daughter to pump the gas, I will continue to do it for her but I think given the amount of complaints and the safety issues, a recall is imminent.

8 Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problem

Failure Date: 01/29/2014

2010 Jeep Wrangler unlimited - fuel overflows every time I fill up. If I fill the tank to the auto shutoff point a fair amount of fuel pukes out and down the side of the vehicle. This is a potential fire hazard, and not very good for the environment. It happens at every gas station - the only work around is to not fill the tank.

9 Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problem

Failure Date: 12/14/2012

While filling up my gas tank I set the pump's trigger mechanism that allows for continuous flow. Prior to the automatic stopping of the pump a substantial amount of gasoline spewed out from the tank. This resulted in a trail of gasoline from my tank down the side of my vehicle and ultimately a large puddle of gasoline on the pavement.

10 Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2012

When filling up gas tank, I set the pump to automatically shut off. Upon shutting off, a significant amount of gas spewed out down the side of vehicle and onto the ground. This has happened every time I have filled up since. I have tried different gas pumps and station and it has continued to happen every time I have filled up.
