Fuel/propulsion System
I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AND THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO FILL UP WITH GAS, I PUT THE NOZZLE IN THE FILLER OPENING AND SQUEEZED THE HANDLE ALL THE WAY. I LOCKED THE HANDLE SO THE GASOLINE WOULD CONTINUE TO FLOW AND LET GO OF THE NOZZLE. AROUND THE 16 GALLON MARK, GASOLINE SHOT OUT OF THE FILLER OPENING AND THEN POURED DOWN THE S…

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AND THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO FILL UP WITH GAS, I PUT THE NOZZLE IN THE FILLER OPENING AND SQUEEZED THE HANDLE ALL THE WAY. I LOCKED THE HANDLE SO THE GASOLINE WOULD CONTINUE TO FLOW AND LET GO OF THE NOZZLE. AROUND THE 16 GALLON MARK, GASOLINE SHOT OUT OF THE FILLER OPENING AND THEN POURED DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. ENOUGH CAME OUT THAT IT CREATED A SMALL PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. GASOLINE GOT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND THE FENDER. IT ALSO SPRAYED MY HAND AS I WAS STANDING NEAR IT. I HAD TO WIPE DOWN THE FENDER AND SIDE OF JEEP BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO PAINT OR PLASTIC. I FOUND THIS SAME PROBLEM EACH AND EVERY TIME I'VE FILLED THE TANK SINCE THAT TIME. I'VE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND NOZZLES BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE IN MY OPINION AND FORCES ME TO BARELY TRICKLE THE GAS INTO THE TANK BY ONLY SQUEEZING THE HANDLE PART WAY. IF I DON'T DO THIS, I SPILL GAS ONTO THE GROUND AND THE SIDE OF MY JEEP WITH EACH FILL. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I'VE FOUND IT IS VERY COMMON IN MY MODEL YEAR AND THE YEARS SURROUNDING. WHY WON'T CHRYSLER JUST FIX THIS?! *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, FUEL SLOSHES OUT OF THE FILLER SPOUT JUST BEFORE THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. THE BACK-SPLASH VOLUME IS LARGE ENOUGH TO SPLASH ONTO CLOTHES, RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND LEAVE A SMALL PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON THE PAVEMENT. *TR

REGARDLESS OF HOW FUEL NOZZLE IS PLACED, FUEL TANK OVER FILLS APPROX 1/8TH-1/3TH GALLON OF FUEL. I FEAR THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE IN THE EVENT FUEL SPLASHED ONTO BRAKE ROTOR OR OTHER HOT COMPONENTS, NOT TO MENTION THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THIS ISSUE DIRECTLY RELATED TO POOR DESIGN. *TR

EVERY TIME I REFUEL MY 2006 JEEP THE GAS SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE UNTIL I REMOVE THE GAS PUMP MANUALLY. THIS IS A KNOWN JEEP ISSUE THAT REQUIRES A REPLACEMENT GAS TANK. OUR ENVIRONMENT AND MY BODY/CLOTHES SHOULD NOT GET COVERED IN GASOLINE EVERY TIME I REFUEL! PLEASE MAKE CHRYSLER FIX ALL JEEP MODELS WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

IM CONCERNED THAT STATIC ELECTRICITY MIGHT IGNITE THIS, MYSELF OR ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. JEEP/ CHRYSLER REFUSES TO FIX THIS ON MY JEEP. THE SAME EXACT SAME THING WAS HAPPENING TO MY WIFE'S 07 CHRYSLER ASPEN AND IT WAS RECALLED AND FIXED. WE BOUGHT BOTH VEHICLES NEW AND THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN WRECKED. JEEP/ CHRYSLER ARE RISKING PEOPLES LIVES WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR
