AFTER HAVING MY JEEP FOR 3 1/2 YEARS, EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK (NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION) THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF DOES NOT WORK ON THE PUMP AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF GAS SPILL OUT EVERYWHERE. IT DID NOT DO THIS FOR THE FIRST 3 1/2 YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND IT'S BELIEVED TO BE THE ROLL OVER CHECK VALVE IN THE TANK BEING BAD. LOCATED HERE IS JUST ONE 14 PAGE DISCUSSION: HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F9/GAS-SPILLING-OVER-WHEN-FILLING-872096/ IF THIS IS HAPPENING WITH THIS MANY PEOPLE IT COULD BE A MAJOR FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD AT A GAS STATION. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER - EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, SINCE ROUGHLY 10,000 MILES (NOW AT 63,000) THE AUTO SHUT OFF FEATURE OF GAS PUMPS WILL NOT SHUT OFF IN TIME. THIS CAUSES ROUGHLY 1/4 GALLON OF FUEL TO SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING SITUATION FOR A COUPLE YEARS. I CANNOT RELY ON THE AUTO-SHUT OFF OF THE PUMP WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS, SINCE THE NEW MODEL FROM 2007. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY WERE DENIED BY DEALERSHIPS. I AM FINALLY SCHEDULED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK (A KNOWN FIX FOR THE ISSUE); BUT WILL BE PAYING FOR IT OUT OF POCKET, AS THE WARRANTY HAS SINCE EXPIRED. *TR
