2009 Jeep Wrangler 2-DR 4X4 fuel system problems

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

FUEL SPITS BACK DURING REFUELING CAUSE: VALVE INTEGRATED IN FUEL TANK IS DEFECTIVE, TANK REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND A SERVICE-BULLETIN WAS ISSUED (14-001-11) WITH UNLIMITED TIME AND MILEAGE EXPIRATION. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE GAS TANK HAS A DESIGN FLAW AND SOMEHOW A DEFECTIVE TANK WAS PLACED IN MY VEHICLE, I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD APPLY TO THE SERVICE BULLETIN THE SYMPTOMS AND CORRECTIVE ACTION ARE THE SAME

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

MY JEEP HAS BEEN HAVING AN ONGOING ISSUE WHILE FUELING. AFTER THE FUEL FILLING NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF IT WILL SPIT OUT FUEL ALL OVER ME AND MY VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE WARRANTY ON 2007-2008 JEEP WRANGLER JKS HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO BE A LIFETIME WARRANTY AND MINE DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS NOT JUST AN INCONVENIENCE. GASOLINE CAN CONTAIN HYDROCARBONS, PARAFINS, OLEFINS, CYCLOALKANES, OXYGENATORS, AND AROMATICS INCLUDING BENZENE WHICH IS A KNOWN HUMAN CARCINOGEN. THIS FUELING ISSUE IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN BUT IT IS ALSO A HEALTH CONCERN FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

WHEN FILLING UP MY 2 DOOR JEEP WRANGLER IT NEVER FAILS TO OVERFLOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT PUMP I USE OR HOW FAST OR SLOW I FILL UP. I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT THEY FIXED A COUPLE YEARS AND MINE DOESN'T FIT INTO THAT. I FEEL IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT THEY WON'T FIX ALL YEARS CONSIDERING THEY KNOW THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND A SAFETY HAZZARD AS THE GAS DOESN'T JUST GET ALL OVER MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND BUT MYSELF AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A COUPLE MONTHS, I THOUGHT IT WAS MAYBE THE PUMP OR THE WAY I WAS PUMPING THE GAS AND NOTHING I HAVE DONE TO CHANGE IT HAS HELPED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK, GAS NOZZLE KICKS OFF THEN FUEL SPLASHES BACK OUT OF FILLER NECK AND GOES EVERY WHERE, ANY WHERE FROM A QUART TO MORE. I HAVE BEEN SPRAYED TO MANY TIMES AND HAD TO DRIVE WITH GAS ON MY CLOTHES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS NOT ONLY FROM RISK OF FIRE BUT FROM BREATHING GAS FUMES ON ONES CLOTHES. I TALKED WITH JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASK WHY THEY DIDN'T HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND WAS INFORMED THEY DON'T ISSUE RECALLS UNLESS THEY ARE FORCED. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT, I HOPE YOU ALL WILL CHANGE YOUR DECISION AND FORCE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I CAN ALSO SEND A VIDEO OF GAS SLASHING OUT EVERY WHERE IF YOU NEED PROOF.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

WHEN FILLING MY 2009 WRANGLER WITH FUEL THE PUMP DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF BEFORE FUEL HAS SPILLED OUT OF THE TANK, DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND. I REPORTED THIS TO JEEP WHEN IF FIRST OCCURRED AND THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE, BUT WOULD NOT CORRECT IT FREE OF CHARGE. BUT LET ME KNOW THAT I COULD PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAVE NOT PAID TO FIX IT AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN TO THIS DAY. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT, BUT STILL HAVE NOT ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO CORRECT IT. THE DANGERS OF FUEL SPILT DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND SHOULD BE OBVIOUS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

IN FEB 2011. I STARTED GETTING FUEL SPITTING BACK WHEN FILLING MY JEEP. TRIED 5 DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS OVER THE COURSE OF A MONTH. ALL WITH THE SAME RESULTS. TOOK IT INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY AGREED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND MADE REPAIRS UNDER THE 3/3600 WARRANTY. NOW THE SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AGAIN. DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT LATER THIS WEEK. BUT CANNOT PROMISE ANYTHING ABOUT IT BEING COVERED. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS SERIES OF WRANGLERS.

DURING REFUELING FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS WE HAVE EXPERIENCE FUEL SPIT BACK. THIS HAS RESULTED IN FUEL SPILLING ON PERSON DOING THE REFUELING, FUEL ON VEHICLE AND GROUND, ENOUGH WERE THE ATTENDANT MUST CLEAN UP EXCESS FUEL ON THE GROUND. THIS IS NEAR THE EXHAUST, EXTREME FIRE DANGER,AND PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT 2007-2008 JEEPS HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. CHRYSLER HAS HAD THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS. MY GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS THE CHECK VALVE IS IN THE TANK AT A COST OF $600.00 + LABOR & TAX. RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THIS MATTER GETS INVESTIGATED PRIOR TO MAJOR INCIDENT INVOLVING EXPLOSION AND/ OR FIRE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, EVER SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT IT, IT WILL SPILL GAS UPON SHUTTING THE PUMP OFF AT TOP OFF. THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE 07/08 MODELS TO THE POINT OF A FACTORY TANK REPLACEMENT, BUT THE 09 MODEL IS NOT COVERED FOR SOME REASON AND SHOULD BE. IT WILL EVENTUALLY RUIN THE PAINT AND POSSIBLY THE BUMPER COSMETICS AS WELL. PLEASE HELP.

PULLING AWAY FROM A STOPLIGHT THE PLASTIC GAS PEDAL SNAPPED OFF - RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO ACCELERATE OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. I PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT FROM THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT SAME WEEK - AND THIS HAS JUST OCCURRED AGAIN (FEBRUARY 22ND 2013). THIS PAST TIME I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND THE GAS PEDAL SNAPPED AGAIN. I AM NOT AN AGGRESSIVE DRIVER. THERE MUST BE A FLAW IN THIS DESIGN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

MY 2009 WRANGLER HAS AN OVERFILLING PROBLEM EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I USE THE LOWEST SETTING ON THE GAS PUMP OR IF I MANUALLY USE AS LITTLE PRESSURE AS POSSIBLE. IT OVERFILLS EVERY SINGLE TIME AND GAS POURS OUT OF THE FILL SPOUT RUNNING DOWN THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE ON MY HAND ON MY CLOTHES AND ON THE GROUND. MY MECHANIC HAS BEEN IN TOUCH WITH JEEP WHO CLAIMS THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, AND HE HAS ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORPORATION WHO HAS NOT RETURNED HIS PHONE CALLS. AT THIS POINT I JUST WANT THE PROBLEM FIXED BECAUSE THIS IS A HAZARDOUS MATERIAL THAT IS POURING OUT ONTO MY CAR, MY BODY, MY CLOTHES, AND THE GROUND. SOME ANSWERS AND/OR ACTION FROM JEEP/CHRYSLER WOULD BE GREAT!

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

ABOUT 1/2 A GALLON OF GAS OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK OF A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE TANK AND THE SIDE BODY PANEL AND PART OF THE REAR BUMPER AS WELL AS THE GROUND GET SOAKED WITH GASOLINE. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALER REGARDING THE ISSUE BUT SINCE A RECENT RECALL ONLY INCLUDES 2007 AND 2008 MODELS, MY JEEP COULD NOT GET FIXED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

MY 2009 JEEP WRANGLER WILL OVERFLOW GAS ONTO THE SIDE OF THE JEEP ONTO THE GROUND EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK UP WHEN USING ANY GAS STATION'S AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF. I DO NOT "TOP OFF" THE TANK. I HAVE TRIED 5 DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS TO MAKE SURE THIS WAS NOT LIMITED TO MY USUAL GAS STATIONS. I HAVE ALSO TRIED FILLING THE TAKE UP AT SLOWER SPEEDS, BUT IT STILL OVERFLOWS. THIS ISSUE STARTED APPROXIMATELY AT 20K MILES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT OTHER PEOPLE USING THE GAS PUMP AFTER ME. ON SPARK FROM STATIC ELECTRICITY COULD CAUSE A FIRE/EXPLOSION.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

2009 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR RUBICON W/ 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. DECELERATION PROBLEM. VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE SPORADICALLY WHEN DESCENDING LONG STEEP GRADES FORCING DRIVER TO RIDE BRAKES TO KEEP UNDER CONTROL. THIS OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE APPROACHES APPROXIMATELY 2000 RPM. IT FEELS LIKE JUST A SLIGHT ACCELERATION, HOWEVER, IT'S ENOUGH TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO A COASTING SITUATION WITH NO ENGINE BRAKING WHATSOEVER. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN SLOWING FOR A STOP SIGN. ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS COMPLETELY RELEASED AND THE VEHICLE JUST GOES INTO A COAST. THIS SITUATION COULD LEAD TO BRAKE FADE ON A LONG STEEP GRADE AND ACCELERATED BRAKE WEAR. I'VE HAD NO SATISFACTION AT DEALER. ALL I WAS TOLD IS THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

FUEL TANK WILL OVERFLOW SPILLING ANYWHERE FROM 1-2 QUARTS OF FUEL FROM VEHICLE WHEN AUTOMATIC FUEL PUMPS ARE USED. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE TANK DOES NOT VENT PROPERLY, WHEN THE AUTOMATIC FUEL PUMPS SHUT OFF (REGARDLESS OF STATION) THE TANK APPEARS TO "BURP" VENTING MORE GASES AND 1-2 QUARTS OF FUEL. THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM HAPPENING REGULARLY (EVERY SECOND OR THIRD FILL UP).
