Crack in gas tank - the check engine light illuminated yesterday when I started the vehicle. I took my vehicle to my mechanic. There is a crack in the top of the gas tank. My mechanic said that after research in trying to get a new gas tank, he found that this is an issue. Mopar has a significant backorder for these tanks. This is definitely a safety issue and I hope it will be looked into.
When fueling the gas tank, gas will spew out in large volumes before the gas pump habdle deactivate allowing gas to spill over the side of Jeep and on to the ground. It happens at multiple gas stations and multiple pumps. Problem is with Jeep, not the gas pump handle. Simple google search reveals a miriad of the same problem. Vehicle is stationary. Note: Has happened alot practically everytime, not just the date entered.

In July 2017, vehicle did not pass emission requirements at state inspection. Upon investigation, determination was made that a plastic hose connection on top of tank had broken and that entire tank needed to be replaced. Replacement availability was not a problem - over 100 in stock locally (really? this must be a recurring problem!) replacement cost, parts & labor - $1200.) first replacement had same problem and was replaced immediately at no cost. Second replacement has now developed same issue & and now, after approximately 6+ months must be replaced again. It should be noted that there hasn't been any accident, or trauma of any kind to vehicle. Although replacement cost is not to be ignored, it is my contention that this obvious design flaw creates a significant safety hazard. In the event of a rollover, gasoline would free-flow from the tank onto the muffler.
Just bought the Jeep, used in Dec 2017. Every time I fill the tank, the fuel backs up the filler neck causing a mess on my Jeep and the ground. Every time.
Fuel shooting out of gas tank when filling up. Does not shut off, sending fuel flying out all over vehicle and concrete. Vehicle stationary, not running. Began in early January 2018 and continues with each fill-up.
Every time I fill my gas tank I have gasoline spray back and overfill pouring out from the gas tank. The gas spills all over myself, my Jeep and the ground. Happens every time regardless of where I fill up.
Gasoline/fuel spit or spray-back and overfill spillage when filling fuel tank, especially when/after fuel filling nozzle shuts off (automatic shut off). Occurs practically every time I fill my tank.
When filling the gas tank there is something wrong with the filet neck. The gas does not stop when your filling it. The gas overrated all the time. The person at the gas station says it happens w all the Jeep's. this is dangerous and someone is going to die when the gas spills out. Also Jeep says it's a problem but says there isn't a recall
Gasoline will overflows when filling the gas tank. It also produces back pressure when filling causing the fuel pump to automatically shut off prematurely.
Bought Jeep new. Has always needed oil between changes. Constant ticking sound started a few weeks ago while engine was running. Mechanic says engine needs to be replaced.
I was driving at under 10 mph, on a Texas state road when the plastic fuel line which is connected to the underside of the body with some type of adhesive failed. This dropped the fuel line directly on the catalytic converter, which melted the fuel line causing a fire that spread to the engine compartment. Apparently this is an issue on the 4 door model Wrangler as the 2 door Wrangler have a plate preventing this. This issue should be looked at on all 4 door models, ranging from 2008 through at least 2013. I have looked at other 4 door Jeep and see that they have the same potential issue there is nothing that prevents the fuel line from coming into contact with the exhaust and potentially causing a fire.
Every time I fill up my gas tank it clicks once to shut off and then fuel comes shooting out like a geyser. I have tried pumping slowly and all different positions with nozzle and that doesn't help. A huge amount of gasoline spits out everywhere.
The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. While driving approximately 45 mph, the fuel tank tubing fractured. In addition, vapors entered the vehicle and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 36,100. The VIN was not available.
When filling up with gas, after the automatic pump shutoff, gas shoots back out onto the side of the Jeep and the ground. Like the tank threw up the last bit of gas (about a liter of gas comes back out). Happens every time I fill up regardless of which gas station I go to.
