Apparently the problem is happening to the vehicles I mentioned before, I'm assuming they must be made by the same gas tank manuf. The vehicles all have or close to 40k on the clock. The durango and the aspen all have the same problem and I believe there is a TSB on them but not on the JK's why I don't know and neither does the dealership. I can tell ya that I have no longer have the problem but who knows if the problem is corrected in the tank or in another 30 or 40k miles it will happen again.

 

i try to fill up at the same point every time. when i will up. I stop at 18 gal. and finish with pump handle pulled half way in. then it will shut off without overflowing

 

As was posted previously, this situation is not attributable to any owner/operator error but rather a faulty valve in the tank.
File a complaint either by phone or online with NHTSA and specifically state that this problem represents a safety and environmental hazard. Be certain to include in that statement that the gasoline is forcefully expelled, an estimate of the amount and finally, frequency of occurence. A complaint should be filed by anyone currently experiencing this problem as well as those who have had the problem repaired. Those that have had the problem repaired should include any and all information regarding the repair.
I have contacted Jeep and the customer care representative handling my call initially stated that they had no knowlege that Wrangler owners were experiencing this problem. They also denied knowlege of any TSB regarding the problem however, the NHTSA website does list a TSB for a 2007 diesel Wrangler (anyone ever seen one of those). That same CSR did acknowlege a similar problem with "other Dodge, Chrysler products". The NHSTA rep I spoke with while filing my complaint made statements similar to the Jeep CSR.
It should be apparent to all that Jeep does not at this time, have any intent to issue a recall in address of this problem. Given that, our only alternative to paying for the fix is to goad NHTSA to action. The fix is not covered by the lifetime powertrain or federal emissions warranties.
FILE YOUR COMPLAINTS, PUH-LEASE!!

 

Yup, I have an 07, started around 40K miles, and has been doing it since then. I'm glad to see it is not me, but a faulty valve. I'm worried cause I relocated my exhaust to that side, and now it gets covered every time. lol Hope I never backfire after a fill-up.

 

Posted my complaint to the NHTSA. It took three trips to the dealership took get this fixed, and I'm still under warranty.

 

Have the 07 with about 34K miles, started a couple of months ago. Took it to the dealership, they are ordering me a new fuel tank, will see if it takes care of the problem.

 

I had to stop filling aswell, if i hold it until the click or let it go on its own it will either click and spill all over or just not click and shoot out its pretty awesome.. just filed a complaint and will be bringing it to dealer

 

Just wondering, are you filling it with handle on the first notch or squeezed (squoze?) all the way in?

Also, doesn't the manual say to not fill it past the first time the handle shuts off?

 

I just engage the handle on the nozzle and let it fill up. It overflows from that. Not trying to add anymore.

 

I have a 2010 and have never had this happen
