Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 2

Fuel spills out of the filler port due to incorrect engagement of the stop on fuel pump nozzles. This is due to a malfunctioning icv. The Jeep has been doing this since I have owned it and the previous owner stated it did the same thing since he and his wife bought it in 2008 -when the vehicle was only two years old.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Wrangler. While refueling, the fuel pump failed to shut off and caused fuel to spew out with force and spill onto the ground. The contact stated that this was a recurring failure. The vehicle was not taken in for diagnostic testing and was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

When I fill up fuel tank, as I get close to full, gas spits out of tank, also happens if I relaease fuel pump handle. Have had tank replaced. Work ok for about a year, now it spits gas again.

I bought my 2006 Jeep Wrangler rubicon new from a dealership. After about two years I started having issues with fuel spitting put of the gas filler when filling up at a gas station. This is my wife's vehicle and she compensated by not filling it full by shutting the fuel pump off before the handle would click. Over the years I have mentioned it to dealerships and repair shops and no one ever heard of it. It is at a dealership now for another issue and again I mentioned the gas spitting out of the gas neck and running down the Jeep side and getting me wet. They said they know about the issue and that Jeep and NHTSA had addressed the issue in a compromise by Jeep offering an extended warranty on 2007 and 2008 models and Jeep sent out communications to that effect. Since I have a 2006, I never received any notification about the fuel overflow problem, until now. I contacted Jeep and they acknowledged the issue but refused to address it. This is a very dangerous problem in that not only is it damaging my paint and wheel well flares but also spilling gas on the ground creating an environmental hazard as defined and regulated by the environmental protection agency, as well as splashing onto the person filling the Jeep covering them in flammable chemicals and exposing them to long-term health issues through inhalation and skin absorption as addressed by the national institutes of health.

The contact owns a 2003 Jeep Wrangler. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle began to decelerate as if it were losing power and about to stall. The vehicle then stalled and was towed to the nearest mechanic. The mechanic stated that nothing was wrong with the vehicle. The failure recurred a second time and the vehicle would not restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed as needing a new fuel pump. The repair would cost $400. The purchase date was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 45,000.
