This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When fueling vehicle, fuel will spill out where nozzle is and flow down side of vehicle and from a puddle of gas on the ground, it's is unknown how close fuel gets to muffler exhaust system but could potentially start a fire at the gas pumps.
I bought this Jeep brand new and almost from the start when filling up at the gas station. When the tank is full the nozzle shuts off then a lot of gas comes out the fill pipe I have tried different gas stations all the same problems. I have tried going slow took almost 20 minutes to fill the gas tank and still gas come splashing out of the fill pipe. I think their is something defective in the fill pipe that doesn't trigger the shut off in the nozzle fast enough.
Gasoline splashes back when tank gets refueled while vehicle is stationary at the pump. I've experienced this issue since at least March of 2018. My mechanic suggests that this problem should be recognized as a defect necessitating a recall. Google search informs that this seems to be a common and ongoing problem for other Wrangler owners as well. You'll find video's posted by others on youtube.
When filling the gas tank it regularly overflows if I don't manually stop the pump prior to the automatic shut off occurring when it detects a full tank. This happened at multiple gas stations of multiple brands so it's not isolated to one station or pump type. This is dangerous because fuel spills all over my car as well as the ground at the pump.
Fuel tank leak out of evap line connection. Part is plastic and non-replaceable, requiring replacement of entire fuel tank. Appears to be common problem as fuel tank is on significant backorder (I can afford to replace tank at cost of $1000 for a $1 part failure). While fuel tank is on back order, the tank continues to leak from broken, irreplaceable plastic part.
When fueling to full, the tank almost always overfills, the safety switch on the gas pump does not trip (no matter what station I use). I must monitor it closely and guess how much fuel I need and stop the pump early.
My vehicle has an issue with fuel spilling out of the tank and on to the ground each time I fill up. I do not top off the tank nor do I use the fastest setting on the pump to deliver the fuel. It is known issue by the manufacturer and a warranty bulletin has been issued for previous model years. The manufacturer nor the dealerships take responsible action on repairing the safety and environmental issue. They instead ask consumers to front the costs and save receipts in the event a recall is issued in the future for reimbursement. I am writing this hopes that your Agency will investigate and issue the recall if necessary so this problem can be fixed.
Every time I fill my gas tank, I spill a lot of gas out the fill neck. It occurs no matter how slow or fast I fill. It spit gas out almost like it's burping. I have researched this problem and it is a very common problem.
Every time I fill the gas tank, gas splashes back onto the pavement (or my clothing if I am standing near the fill pipe). This is a well known, and dangerous, problem that Jeep owners are aware of (per the on-line forums). I understand that there was a recall or service bulletin related to earlier models of Jeep Wrangler. Two dealers I went to deny any knowledge of this problem with 2010 Wrangler. On-line forums indicate that this is a continuing problem on newer Wrangler and that dealers are charging $200 - $600 to fix the problem when a simple solution for many owners has been to personally install part cnnnx321ac ($40) which is a replacement fuel fill tube that has some sort of mechanism in it to prevent splash back. I installed this part and it solved the problem. The dealers I went to said they were not aware of this fix. I think that Chrysler should be paying for this fix. Instead they are denying that there continues to be a problem on the newer vehicles. I can't emphasize enough how dangerous this problem is.
When filling the gas tank in my 2010 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sahara it overflows pouring gas back out of the filler once the pump has stopped. Did some research and this seems to be a common problem.
I currently own a 2010 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport. Every time I fill up that gas tank it over flows. I have never had this issue in any other car I've owned. I go to the gas station to fill up my tank and I sit in my car while it fills up and when it's full I get out of my car and every time there is gas all over my Jeep and on the ground as well. I asked around and many other Jeep owners have the same issue. I want to know what is causing this to happen and how it can be fixed. I won't even get out of my car until my tank is full because it spray everywhere. Please someone fix this issue we are having
Every time adding fuel blowback occurs spraying fuel over the car and 2-3 feet proximity. There is an existing recall for this for model year 2007-2008
