When we go to the gas station to fill our 2007 Jeep wrangler, we engage the auto fill on the gas pump and every time gas spills out all over the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. Checked path of hoses from tank to inlet and saw no visible problems that would cause this serious safety issue. I have not spoken with a dealer nor third party mechanic. Please advise.

When fueling the vehicle gas will shoot out of the fuel hole when the tank nears full. Pouring gas all over the vehicle and on the ground and you, if your standing near the vehicle fueling area. The pump handle will click off but that's to late when you hear the handle click off you better jump back unless you want gas on you. Fuel system, gasoline · reported at 12,000 miles
