Vehicle-€™s inlet check valve for gas tank does not work properly when tank is filled at fueling stations. Does not trigger gas pumps to stop causing overflow and spilling on person / clothing / vehicle and gas station property. This is a known issue for 2005-2006 Jeep Wranglers. The issue was repaired by manufacturer for newer Jeep Wranglers. Currently no manufacturer ownership on remediation issue and/or recall for 2005-2006 model year Jeep Wranglers.
When filling up the gas tank with fuel, the fuel splashes out going over me, my fenders, side of Jeep and the ground. I believe this is a major safety issue.and Jeep should be liable. God forbid if this caused a fatality.
Fuel overflows when the tank is filled. The auto-shutoff doesn't work. It happens every time I fill the tank, no matter what gas station. This is a safety and environmental hazard.
Every time I fill the Jeep up with gas, large amount of fuel spills out before the fill gun can stop it. I have been to many different gas station and it happens at all of them. This is a very dangerous, many others with my year Jeep have filled complaints and got the issue fix.
When filling the Wrangler with fuel, the tank consistently and regularly overfills and spits fuel out of the top of the fuel tank towards the gas pump nozzle, the person filling the Wrangler, the exterior of the Wrangler, and onto the floor next to the Wrangler. There is a tsb for repair of this issue, but my year is not automatically covered by that tsb. Please help.
When filling up the fuel tank, it will either click-off every 2 tenths of a gallon or spill fuel out when attempting to fill at the slowest rate. There are no kinks or etc in the filler pipe or vent pipe.
During pumping of gasoline into the tank when the tanks fills, gas spews from the tank everytime. This does not happen with either of the other 3 Jeep that I own. This causes a potential for fire and/or injury due to gasoline splashing on hands, arms and clothes.
Jeep Wrangler 2005 and 2006. When filling the gas tank at the gas station, gasoline will overflow momentarily, spilling gasoline on the ground from the gas tank filler tube when the gas pump fuel nozzle shuts off. This has happened on the 2005 and 2006 model year Wrangler I have own(ed). Reviewing comments on the internet this is a common problem with these model years. An additional problem is the internal sticking (due to internal valve plug expansion) check valve that causes spillage also may not permit proper fuel filling.
When filling the fuel tank to full gasoline will shoot out of the filler hole and over the side of the vehicle. The problem is consistent (I can only recall 4 times when it did not occur since I purchased the vehicle in 2015 with 82,000 miles on it. In all cases the vehicle was stationary, engine was off, parked next to the gasoline pump.
Jeep Wrangler X 2006 automatic. Sthall while running in highway.then would not start, no crank. No fuel pump start, no panel indicators working. Shows a 06- 02 code error in panel. Mean fueling calibration error. 3 or 4 days later it start like new.
When refueling the vehicle, gasoline with shoot out of the fuel fill when the tank is nearly full. From speaking with other Jeep Wrangler unlimited owners (2005 & 2006 models only), this issue is commonplace and unaddressed by Jeep. It is reportedly due to a design flaw in the overflow value in the filler tube. Each time this happens, approximately 1/4 of gasoline will flow out of the tank before the gas pump clicks off. This has exposed me to gasoline on my skin, as well as spilled fuel on the ground. There is risk due to exposure to ethanol and other chemicals, environmental exposure with gasoline on the ground, and fire risk.
Every time I fill my Jeep, it overflows and spills fuel all over the side of my Jeep and the ground before the rule pump shuts off. I have this issue with every fill up at any fuel station I use. It will sometimes overfill and spill enough out as to necessitate the use of a fuel spill cleanup kit and I've had several shoes and pants ruined from spouting fuel. I have had several other Jeep Wrangler owners of the same year and model complain of this exact problem. I feel this is not only an environmental problem, but a fire safety problem as well. It cannot be safe to have a system that overfills and spills gasoline every single time you fill your vehicle creating a significant risk of fire.
2006 tj fuel overflow when filling tank. Fuel spits out of gas tank on to person holding the gas handle pump when filling. Auto is off and stationary. It happens every time.
I have a 2006 Jeep Wrangler tj I bought used have had it going on 6 months and everytime I go to the gas station and fill up when the pump kicks off the gas spews out all down the side of my Jeep flares and the Jeep itself and down onto the ground when I filled it up the first time it was all over my hand my leg and ruined my shoes!! I got on a jepp forum and was told to get a GMC filler hose with a check valve and I did and paid to have it installed and I still have the same issue. I have done a lot of research on the internet and I am not alone here this is a huge issue and it is going to lead to someone getting hurt or worse killed!! is this what it's going to take for you to fix this problem with the Wrangler? I sure hope not!! this is beyond ridiculous and needs addressed and fixed asap.....
Every time I fill my Jeep with gasoline, when it reaches it's capacity, gas spews out of the filler tube and onto the rear fender flare and subsequently onto the ground. This is not a new issue with these Jeep and it is a fix that should be done by the manufacturer due to the obvious safety concerns. This is a fire hazard and could cause serious injury if not corrected. This happens every time I fill the vehicle up with gas and it's ridiculous.
My Jeep Wrangler spews gas on every fill up. Ruined pants, shoes. Fear gas is going to ignite from hot exhaust. Does every every time. Someone going to get hurt seriously. Everyone is purchasing GM filler tube with flapper to replace Jeep filler. Done so frequently can't get part. Jeep could fix easily installing 20 dollar filler tube or putting new valve in tank. This is serious.
