NHTSA Complaint #11365488 — 2010 JEEP WRANGLER

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF GAS TANK FILLER TUBE ONTO SIDE OF JEEP AND ONTO GROUND EVERY TIME FILL UP TANK. WIFE NORMALLY DRIVES JEEP AND DIDN'T TELL ME WHEN THIS STARTED HAPPENING, BUT I THINK HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR MORE THAN A YEAR BUT SHE DIDN'T INVESTIGATE IT ONLINE OR REPORT IT TO YOUR STAFF. THEN SHE WENT OUT OF TOWN FEW DAYS AGO AND WHEN I FILLED TANK ON 10/19/20 IT OVERFLOWED A VERY NOTICEABLE AMOUNT OF GAS ONTO SIDE OF JEEP WHEN USING AUTOMATIC PUMP SHUTOFF NOZZLE AT COSTCO. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATED FCA WAS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT IN 2007-2008 JEEP WRANGLERS AND TSB ISSUED IN 2011 TO COVER FREE REPAIR OF VALVE, BUT ALTHOUGH THIS IS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM, COULD NOT FIND RECALL OR TSB FOR 2010 JEEP WRANGLERS. QUICK CHECK ONLINE INDICATES MANY OTHERS WITH JEEP WRANGLERS BUILT AFTER 2008 HAVING EXACT SAME PROBLEM. NEVER HAD A VEHICLE DO THIS BEFORE, BUT IT IS A SERIOUS DEFECT AND SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE UNDER A RECALL OR TSB, AS WAS DONE WITH THE 2007/2008 JEEPS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED AND MORE INFO.*DT CONSUMER STATED HIS WIFE TOLD HIM IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.*JB
