| Brand | JEEP |

| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Every single time i fill up the fuel tank, fuel spills out (spits out all over the back driver's side panel). This has been a problem since i've purchased the jeep. I have to manually calculate how many gallons to put in every time i go to the gas pump. I've tried several different gas stations and pumps along with several different strategies of holding the gas pump and regardless the spills still happen when attempting to fill the tank full with gas. I've searched online for recalls relating to this and they appear to be out there for this problem but not for 2011 model jeep wrangler. I've contacted the dealership, but have been told that they will not cover the cost to replace the fuel tank, since it has not been recalled. It appears the only fix for this is to replace the fuel tank, but i feel like if it's a known problem with jeep wranglers, i should not have to come out of pocket for the fix. I'm not really sure who to go to from here for a resolution. |
