I'm going to take one for the team and light my Jeep on fire next fill up so that Jeep understands this is a safety issue.

I have a appt to take the Jeep in on Thursday ( parts are in ). Shawn from Chrysler has been very helpful and concerned that this get fixed. He even called me before the dealer did to let me know the parts were in. I explained that this might not fix the issue after reading that the tank seems to be the problem and said we will try this first and then go from there. I will keep updating as I go...

I used to get a little spit back when topping off the tank. Now I fill on the slowest setting and stop when it clicks off. No problem since I started doing that. It is a 2009 2Dr.

Just got my Jeep back from the dealer today...they installed the filler tube and vent line. I filled up today with the auto set on the nozzle ( on slow ) and it did not spill today. I will try it on a faster setting next time just to see if it is really fixed or not. The dealer took about 5 hours to install the parts and I did not have to pay for anything! Chysler ( Shawn ) has been very helpful on resolving this issue. Ohh, and I do not have a warranty on my Jeep.

My jeep is having this problem now. I took it to the dealership this week. They ordered me a new tank and accessories. Hopefully this fixes the problems.

Mine has been doing it for a while. My dealer says I have a broken back flow valve. They say they need to replace the whole tank but this seems like it might becoming a recall thing.

This issue started with my 08 Unlimited about a month ago. It has 55,000 miles but really should be a recall. If everyone who has this issue calls Chrystler and files a quick 5 minute complaint on the NHTSA website (you can search for the issue and copy and paste it into your complaint) Chrystler may issue a recall and that would save all of us $580+ ... that we can put towards mods! Also, Chrystler has been pretty good to work with as they are calling the dealer about the issue. They also have approved a fix for the corroded door hinges - i'm very happy with the way they are handling the issue and it's just another reason I'm a lifelong Jeep customer!

Ok..the filler tube and vent line that was replaced did not fix this issue. Chrysler ( Shawn ) is still working with me on this issue. I have the dealer ordering a new fuel tank and they will call me when it comes in. So far this hasn't cost me anything and I do not have any warranty on my Jeep. I will keep posting on my progress through Chrysler...

Hi Dozer - keep us posted. I also had to have the tank replaced but am trying to get some reimbursement from Chrysler as it is a safety issue. I am still working with Chrysler on the issue. Good luck!
