Fuel spills every time we fill up. I took it to grapevine Dodge and talked to a service adviser and she treated me and my daughter like we were stupid. Sorry, but I grew up working in a mobil service station and my Chevy's don't overflow!!! so I left pissed off. It happens every fillup.

From the time I received the recall notice I have been trying to resolve the issue. I called when first received the recall, then again in June and spoke to a jennifer, stated that the part was on back order and that I was in the 100 and they were on 30. I asked what I should do during the waiting time and she said to try not to get hit. I called again the beginning of September and jennifer stated that I should receive a part or call in a few days. It is now September 14 and I have not heard anything about fixing or setting up an appointment for fixing the Jeep. I have three children that ride in my Jeep, I do not have a choice but to drive it, all I can do is pray that I do not get hit from behind one day and cause the gas explosion that could occur do to manufacturing issues.
Fuel spillage every time fueling tank. Takes ~ 15min to fill take. Need to reduce fuel flow from pump down to a drizzle otherwise fuel spills all over car, ground and myself. Very dangerous!

I was driving down the street when the diesel Jeep stalled. Luckily I was able to get to the side of the street. I checked and there was air in the diesel fuel line. When I used the pump to prime it fuel started leaking around the heating element electrical fitting. When I pulled the fitting you could see charring around the end. The vehicle now gets air in the lines and stalls all the time. I have pulled the electrical connection because I am afraid of fire.
This has been happening since the Jeep was brand new. There is no auto-stop when filling the Jeep. Up to a gallon, or more, will spill out if you cannot stop it in time. This causes fuel to get all over the vehicle and the person pumping the fuel. We have talked with the dealer about this problem repeatedly (in two states - New Jersey and Maine) and it seems there is nothing they can (or will) do. We cannot be the only one with this issue.
I bought this used vehicle 2 years ago. It currently has a recall on the gas tank. The way the dealership "fixes" this recall is to install a trailer hitch, which is laughable, at best. The testing agencies have proven that a trailer hitch is only minimally effect up to 25 mph and not effective at greater speeds. I requested the dealership "work with me" so that I could buy a safer vehicle from them. They are only willing to offer me the same trade-in amount as if I were trading vehicle solely because I want a new vehicle. I would keep this vehicle, if it were safe. I've contacted metal manufacturing businesses and requested that they build me a safe, strong gas tank and bumper to replace that which is currently in the vehicle. I am willing to pay the price to make this vehicle safe. The manufacturing facilities have refused to build any parts for me because the liability, after an accident, would revert to them rather than the burden being on Jeep. I have told the dealership that I have a safety problem but they don't seem to think I should get any financial consideration when trading in an unsafe vehicle that can not be made safe either by me or by Jeep. They will only offer me less than kelly blue book for trade in and have taken $1,000 of the retail price of the new vehicle. This is inadequate considering they sold me an unsafe vehicle which can not be fixed. The dealership is darlings; po box 277; brewer, Maine 04412-0277. Phone: 207-669-6570.

Been happening a lot lately and it seems I am not the only one. Filling up my Jeep with gas and the pump does not kick off. Fuel comes gushing out all over the place. Seems extremely dangerous and while thousands have the same issue, nothing has been done.

During refilling of the fuel tank, the fuel shutoff mechanism does not work properly and fuel always overflows onto the ground. Research reveals that problems of this type are known to be caused in Jeep of this year by the inlet check valve (icv).
