12/29/2014 40,000 mi ODI #10668903.0

I was filling up my vehicle with gas and it overflowed and it continues to do that every time I fill up. Its a fire hazard and a waste of gas. *tr

12/28/2013 33,000 mi ODI #10557578.0

While refueling, the tank will overflow and bubble over onto my paint and the ground every time I fill up. It's roughly a cup of fuel each time. This is a persistent problem for me and safety hazard. I'm pretty sure overflowing gasoline isn't good, and it is damaging to the product (paint) as well; this issue is a growing theme with Chrysler vehicles and all affected vehicles need a service bulletin posted for a solution. *tr

12/10/2012 39,000 mi ODI #10487879.0

Refueling the vehicle causes gasoline to overflow from the filler tube and run down the side of the car onto the ground. Approx10-12 oz. Of fuel will spill out every time the vehicle is filled up at any gas station. There appears to be a venting issue with Jeep gas tanks. A quick google search returns many results of this issue, most commonly known as 'gas tank burping'. It affects different Jeep models. Here is a youtube video of the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6feamuauko8 I would consider this to be a design flaw and a potential fire hazard. Chrysler dealership are unwilling to help me because I am out of the 36,000 mile warranty period. *tr

For no reason, the airbag warning light came on. Though there is warranty, they are telling us it isn't covered under warranty. I will never buy another Chrysler vehicle as long as I live. There have been other instances that should have been covered but we were lied to regarding the extended warranty coverage added...enough said. *tr
