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.
There is fuel cap message on the dashboard. I changed the cap and the message continued. I took the rubicon to the local Jeep dealer and was told that there is problems with the fuel tank and needs to be replaced. I was told that there is a hose that goes from where the fuel gets filled to the engine and the whole tank needs to be replaced. I feel that this is a major problem and a safety hazard. The Jeep is not being driven right now due to my concern. The Jeep is only 5 years old and it only has 36K miles. This should be a manufacture replacement> I have never heard of such issues on other vehicles even after 50+ years. Please advice me asap on my next step. Thank you
2011 Jeep Wrangler is very hard to fuel. When fueling fuel pump continually shuts off. Must reduce to a very slow rate and even then it will sometimes shut off no matter what pump is used. Occurs at every gas station and every pump. So now I have to pump gas into the Jeep really slow been care full as not to have a fuel back splash.
Nearly every time I refuel my jk, within one second of shutting off the fuel nozzle, approximately 3-8ounces of gas is forcefully expelled from the fuel inlet on the Jeep. Several hundred jk owners have reported similar problems with their jks on a number of internet fora additionally, there are several you tube videos documenting this problem. The problem spans all model years of the jk, both two and four door. The vehicle is stationary. I've reported the problem to Jeep and they claim it's not their responsibility since no recall has been issued but I find this to be a safety issue and a potential hazard.
Gasoline overflows the tank when filling at every fillup, regardless of filling station brand name, time of year or filling with the nozzle handle held by hand or using the auto fill mode.
Fuel overflows from their tank during the refueling process. The fuel system does not seem to respond to the shut-off mechanism, which means gas spills out onto the ground, the car and even the owner. This isn't a simple little fuel leak either, this is more like a fuel geyser.
The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while refueling the vehicle, there was fuel leaking from the fuel tank of the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure had gotten progressively worst over time. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 61,000.
My Jeep Wrangler 2011 spit back every time me or my wife refuel the vehicle getting gas over me and the floor.if we park the vehicle inside the garage the odor of gas is very strong we decide to keep the vehicle out side. I call the authorized dealer they tell me that are not any recalls regarding the fuel system, . the main concern of this situation are if that situation can initiate a fire or the fumes can be a hazard for the members of the family.
Really annoying and very dangerous!! each time we fill up our 2011 Jeep Wrangler with fuel, just as the pumps automatic shut-off clicks, fuel will blow out and all over whoever is holding the pump handle. There is no indication that this is going to happen, except for the click from the pump handle a split second before you get doused. We checked with our Jeep dealer to see if there is a recall, and they said there was not, however it appears to be a problem with the "inlet check valve"; a mechanical item that appears to be defective, and a severe safety concern, but is somehow not under warrantee. We went on-line to research and found similar issues with other Chrysler vehicles, including 2007-2009 Jeep Wrangler. Really aggravating to find out there had been previous complaints about this issue, Chrysler knew what the issue was, but because there are not enough documented complaints for the 2011 year, it was not considered a real concern
Every time this vehicle is fueled up, the gas will come gushing out before the pump shuts off. I just bought this vehicle and was completely soaked with gas the first time I filled it up. I do not top it off and it is on 10% ethanol 89 octane gas. This is a serious issue. From what I read the NHTSA has looked into this and dropped it"??" someone is going to get hurt from this.
Every time I fill up my vehicle, the fuel spits up out of the filler when the nozzle shuts off. There is consistently about 1/4 gallon of fuel on the side of my vehicle and on the ground, at every fill-up. I have been to several different gas stations, and this occurs at every station.
Gas keeps coming out of the tank when filling up which is a danger and a hazard and has nothing to do with wear or tear or abuse its a faulty part or bad fuel tank and is a problem out there for so many Jeep Wrangler on every forum.if there are so many Jeep on forums with the same problem why isn't there a recall, god for bid I had a gas attendant filling up my car and didn't know gas would shoot all over him its a hazard to everyone and the environment.
Every time I put gas in Jeep it back- flows all over the place. Not only does it ruin the paint but it's a safety hazard splashing all over my clothes and once sprayed on my neck. A little higher it would have gotten on my face. I hear it might be the butterfly not closing so it doesn't know you tank is full or close to being full. Should be any easy recall so why isn't it "?" very unsafe please have this fixed!!
