WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, FUEL SPLASHES BACK OUT OF FILL PIPE. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW THE TANK IS FILLED, OR WHAT POSITION THE FILL NOZZLE IS PLACED IN THE FILL OPENING, IT SPLASHES BACK OUT OF THE FILL PIPE, COVERING THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS THE PERSON FILLING IF STANDING TOO CLOSE. I SEE THIS AS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS STATIC ELECTRICITY COULD EASILY IGNITE THE FUEL IN THIS SCENARIO. I'VE READ ON JEEP BLOGS THAT THE CURE IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK DUE TO A DEFECTIVE VALVE IN THE TANK AT THE COST OF OVER $900. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE REPLACEMENT TANK IS JUST ANOTHER DEFECTIVE TANK, AS THERE IS NOT AN UPDATED UNIT AVAILABLE, THUS SETTING UP ANOTHER FUTURE FAILURE. THERE IS NOT RECALL ON THIS, I THINK THERE SHOULD BE. PLEASE KEEP ME ADVISED OF ANY ACTIONS TAKEN IN THIS MATTER.

WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL PUMP NEVER SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE NOW FOR A LONG TIME. THE FUEL SYSTEM ALLOWS THE PUMP TO CONTINUE RUNNING AFTER THE TANK IS FULL. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I GO TO. GASOLINE ALWAYS OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND. I WAS RECENTLY REFUELING MY AND THE VEHICLE AND THE PUMP DID NOT SHUT OFF. A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF GAS FLOWED OUT ONTO THE GROUND AND SOMETHING LIT THE FUEL VAPORS CAUSING A SMALL FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT OUT WITH AN EXTINGUISHER. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE ENTIRE GAS STATION TO CATCH FIRE/EXPLODE AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR ..UPDATED 09/12/12 *BF UPDATED 09/12/2012 *JS
