NHTSA Complaint #11426341 — 2009 JEEP WRANGLER

Any time you fuel this vehicle the fuel gushes out of the filler neck. We have tried several different fueling stations . Different times of the day and night. Nothing changes , the fuel still blows out. Sometimes even if you pump slow it will still spew back out. Not every station has the rubber splash guards on their nozzles. The reason this is a danger is very obvious. Gasoline has a low flash point , not to mention the health risk of the vapors. One freak spark unrelated to me fueling could have deadly consequences. I spoke to jeep headquarters about this issue. They refused to give me the lot number for the faulty fuel tanks. The fuel tanks that had issues was on 2008 and earlier jeep Wranglers. Our jeep was manufactured in 2/2009 and from what I have gathered uses the exact same tank as the 2008 and earlier tanks back to a certain year. Is it to far fetched to believe that the tank installed could be faulty , just like the earlier ones. Just so we are clear this has been occuring since we purchased the jeep and continues to. I would like jeep to replace the tank or the valve in the tank. They could install the retro fit repair . I don't feel as an owner we should have the Burden of replacing the tank.
