In owners' own words
During re-fueling, when the gas tank is full, gas overflows out of the vehicle and spills everywhere. I was told the entire gas tank has to be replaced. My warranty is expired and there is no recall for my year Jeep Wrangler (2010). I saw that this is covered for Jeep years 2006-2007 regardless of miles/warranty. This is a hazard that should be covered for any year Jeep, not just those specific years. Fuel/propulsion system · reported at 64,000 miles
Gasoline splashes back when tank gets refueled while vehicle is stationary at the pump. I've experienced this issue since at least march of 2018. My mechanic suggests that this problem should be recognized as a defect necessitating a recall. Google search informs that this seems to be a common and ongoing problem for other Wrangler owners as well. You'll find video's posted by others on youtube.

When ever I fill the tank with gas I get leakage of fuel on my driveway so I have been filling it halfway and I donât get the leakage it also has a fuel smell. I have found on the internet that this is common and the repair part is available, but I feel that this is very similar to the recall on Toyota trucks that is now on going so I feel it is my duty to report this safety situation Fuel/propulsion system
