| When filling the vehicle with gas, pump does not automatically shut off and gas spills out. i have to try and listen for the fuel to come up the fill pipe but it is difficult to gauge and hear. this is very dangerous as well as costly. this is the only vehicle i have had/heard of that has this issue. i know other jeep jk owners who also experience this. *tr | |||

| When filling the gas tank as the tank reaches it's full point the fuel will spew out, spilling fuel over my hand and down the vehicle. this is not from over fueling; it will happen whether i use the latch on the gas pump handle or not. it began happening randomly but as time passes it happens with nearly every refueling. i've taken it to the dealership when it first happened (while under warranty) and they could not replicate the problem and thus sent me on my way. it has continued to happen since, getting progressively worse. *tr | |||

| The vehicle cannot be allowed to fill up on standard auto shutoff pumps. the fuel will rush out in a sudden backsplash. the situation creates the highest risk for fire and conflagration. the 08 and later wranglers have a recall, but the 07 does not. the 07 is the same body style as the 08 and later. nhtsa has claimed that media sensationalism has hyped public opinion on the matter. unfortunately, i have to deal with the possibility of death and fire every time i fill up at the pump because nhtsa refuses to force the manufacturer to fix the issue. nhtsa needs to wake up and address the problem. | |||
