2008 Jeep WRANGLER Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	978647

Model	WRANGLER

File date	30/03/11

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Gas cap sensor light on. When filling the tank with gas, the automatic shut off at the pump clicks off, then within 5/10 seconds the gas starts to surge out of the tank all down the jeep, over the ground, over me. The gas tank and assembly was replaced 3 times in 2011 while still under warranty because the problem kept coming back. The same problem started again 2013. We called the dealer and found that it is covered under an unlimited miles unlimited months extended warranty. Glad we called because we didn't get any notice of this extended coverage in the mail. A separate issue began in 2012 with some leakage of gas under the vehicle and an odor of gas outside the car if the tank was filled up all the way. Since the warranty had expired, our personal mechanic handled it. He replaced a hose that was attached to the fuel tank (the same gas cap sensor light was on for this problem too). He also tightened the fuel pump at the tank where the gas was leaking from and he found a crack in the tank which he patched. This fixed the odor and leaking of gas from under the jeep. If this problem happens again in the future, now knowing about the extended warranty with the other problem, we will contact the dealer about it to see if it is covered too as it is gas tank related. Note - it was right after our mechanic fixed the odor and under car leak that the other problem of the gas surging out of the pump started again.
