2011 Jeep Wrangler Fuel System Problems

The check-valve nipple on the gas tank of my 2011 Jeep Wrangler is broken. You can see it and smell the gas vapors leaking from this nipple. The vehicle has 86K miles. The Jeep failed our Delaware state inspection because the check engine light came on. The Jeep smells like gas and in addition to harmful vapors, it is a serious safety issue and an explosion danger. Two service stations attempted to fix this without success. The error code is P0455 for an emissions leak. The most recent service station ordered several previously-owned Jeep gas tanks but they all had this same failure. They next ordered a new gas tank from Jeep which was out of stock for several months, indicating they can not keep up with the demand for these failing nipples. When the new gas tank finally came in, this same nipple was broken and this was a brand new gas tank. If you go on line, you will see this is a common problem and a safety issue. As a former engineer for Ford Motor Company, it is clear Jeep has a design flaw that will break and cause a safety risk to customers. The material is wrong for this application, and there is not enough strain relief where this nipple is located. It will inevitably break on all Jeeps at some point in time causing this safety risk. I told the service station that there is no reason to replace the gas tank because this nipple will simply fail again. They have other Jeeps they are working on with this same problem so had no problem canceling my service request. Please address this problem with Jeep before someone is injured or killed.

Jeep wranglers have a common problem with the fuel inlet. It clogs over time then will cause fuel to spill over or click off constantly while fueling the vehicle. This gets worse in cold months. I have spilled fuel hundreds of times over the years while fueling. Jeep forums and YouTube talk about the widespread issue. No warranty or recall? Perhaps after a gas station goes up in flames

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the fuel pump would continuously stop while attempting to refuel the vehicle. Due to the failure, the contact could not gauge when the fuel tank was full; therefore, fuel would splash out of the tank once it reached capacity. The contact stated that fuel would splash onto her clothing or onto her face because of the failure. The contact called a dealer and the service mechanic confirmed that the failure was common and that her fuel tank would need to be replaced. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 142,000.

WHEN FILLING UP WITH FUEL, THE GAS WILL SPIT BACK AND SPILL FUEL ON THE SIDE OF JEEP AND GROUND, EVEN AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF OF THE HOSE ENGAGES. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL, MAYBE 5 DOZEN, TIMES SINCE I'VE OWNED IT. IT US WELL DOCUMENTED FROM THOUSANDS OF OWNERS OF THIS STYLE JEEP HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

GAS TANK IS CRACKED ON TOP NO IMPACTS SHOWING. *TR

EVERY TIME WE FILL THE GAS TANK, FUEL SPEWS/SPILLS OUT AT THE END OF PUMPING THE GAS.

WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK, THE STATION PUMP CLICKS OFF THE NOZZLE THEN GAS SPITS BACK OUT OF MY TANK ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND.

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AS THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF AT "FULL" LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK

WHEN FILLING WITH FUEL, GAS WILL SPIT BACK FROM THE FILLER NECK AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP RIGHT BEFORE THE FUEL NOZZLE CLICKS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW IN THE 3 WEEKS SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM A DEALER. THIS CREATES A FIRE HAZARD IN THE EVENT GAS HIT A HOT SPOT OR A SPARK CAUSED BY STATIC, ETC...

WHEN FILLING UP AT A FUEL PUMP, THE FUEL PUMP HANDLE WILL CLICK OFF AND AFTER THAT HAPPENS, ABOUT 1/4 OF A GALLON OF FUEL WILL SPILL OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ONTO THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE.

ON GOING ISSUE OF FUEL BACK SPLASH WHEN FUELING. AFTER PUMP SHUTS OFF FUEL POURS BACK OUT ON TO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. ON GOING ISSUE.

2011 JEEP SAHARA WRANGLER REFUELING PROBLEM. REFUELING GEYSER OVERFLOW PROBLEM OF GASOLINE AT WHERE NOZZLE ENTERS VEHICLE. REQUIRES MANUALLY CLICKING OFF HANDLE WHEN FUEL TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL OVERFLOWING GASOLINE ON GROUND, JEEP, AND SELF, (FUEL ON HANDS AND SHOES). THIS OVERFLOW OCCURRED JANUARY 25, 2019, FEBRUARY 11, 2019, AND MARCH 10, 2019. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS FROM BERGLUND JEEP DODGE RAM DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR INDICATED REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE COVERED APRIL 3, 2019.

AUTO SHUT OFF OF GAS FILL DOES NOT WORK WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK AND GAS SPUES ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND WHEN TANK FILLS.

FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF FILLER WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK. THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AND THEN THE FUEL FLOWS OUT ONTO OPERATOR AND EXTERIOR OF CAR AND GROUND.

WHEN REFUELING, THE GAS DOES NOT SHUT OFF AND SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK UNTIL USER SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME YOU REFUEL AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO FILL UP TO SHUT OFF. I HAVE SPILLED GASOLINE, ON VEHICLE, CLOTHING, GROUND, GAS PUMP, ETC. THIS IS A PRETTY SERIOUS ISSUE AND I COULD NOT FIND A RECALL. I DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD BE IGNORED. I HAD TO ADD A DATE BELOW, JUST THE LATEST TIME IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE. IT HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES TO MYSELF AND MY SPOUSE.

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.

THE FUEL TANK RUSTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE TANK WAS ON BACKORDER AND THIS WAS AN ONGOING ISSUE.

WHEN I FILL UP AT THE PUMP GAS OVERFLOWS - TRIED DIFFERENT STATIONS AND SETTING ON THE LEVER.

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.
