In owners' own words
Gas tank overflows when gas pump is left in automatic position. There has been a recall for my year and model of vehicle, but it's not within the manufacture date of the recall. There are many other Jeep wrangler owners with the exact same problem. I am a firefighter, so I do realize that this is a very serious safety issue that needs to be addressed as soon as possible. The manufacture date is 12/06. Fuel system, gasoline · reported at 44,487 miles
I recently purchased a 2007 Jeep wrangler 4x4 from a dealer. The past handful of times we have filled the vehicle with gas, gas has sprayed out all over the car, ground and myself. I am not topping off the vehicle - I am filling up to the point of when the pump automatically stops. This is not safe and I have seen numerous complaints of this same type. Something needs to be done to correct this. Fuel system, gasoline · reported at 21,500 miles
