Capless fuel filler assembly on 2018 jeep grand cherokee limited does not allow a standard gas pump to fill tank in a "normal" manner when vehicle is parked at a gas station pump and is turned off.

Had several issues with this rented vehicle still running after pushing button to stop vehicle when parked. Family members told me 'your car is still on' at least 3 times. Had issues when stopped at an intersection. The vehicle seemed to die & was very delayed when starting to go again-required more pressure on gas pedal than usual. Had issues while filling the vehicle with fuel. Several times the pump would cut off…

My 2018 jeep grand cherokee just accelerated by itself up a sidewalk at a parking lot and ran into the pillar of a building. I then put it in reverse and it accelerated into a car parked beside me. The front axle snapped completely even though the impact was not tremendous. The air bag did not deploy. This vehicle has all kinds of impact sensors and usually brakes on its own even when it senses a leaf from a nearby…

I have a "no start" issue. When the ignition button is pushed to start the vehicle, the starter turns, but the engine does not crank. There are times when it may take up to 10 seconds or so to get the starter to turn off. This is an intermittent problem, but is getting more frequent.

Extreme difficulty in getting fuel into the vehicle, constant surges in rpm, dash display goes black, touch screen turns off, goes silent, will not respond, does not recognize key fob and on several instances has allowed me to start and drive vehicle without fob. Mirrors make high pitched whistling noise. Very dangerous…

No specific readout was available for the code detected. The exact jeep we own is a 2018…

Unable to fill with fuel. Jeep is blaming the gas pumps. 4,000 miles on vehicle. Jeep has advised turning the pump handle which eliminates the fuel cut off and causes gas to spill. This is extremely unsafe.

When i try to put gas into my tank, the pump cuts off. It takes five minutes to get $16 worth of gas! It's getting worse. I've tried different pumps, different gas stations nothing helps. The dealer claims to know nothing about it. Today, the gas was spit back out! So i have shoes and feet soaked in gas! It is a capless gas tank.

While trying to pump gas, the pump would pop closed as if the gas tank was full when in actuality it had only just started to pump. It would continue to do that even after adjusting how the pump sat in the tank. It took roughly 15 minutes to pump a couple gallons of gas. The car has now done this twice at different pumps at different gas stations.

At a gas station, with the engine turned off. On 3 different occasions, when filling up my gas tank, when i start pumping gas, the tank stops taking gas as if the tank is full. In order to continue filling the gas tank, i have to hold the gas hose handle in a specific position to allow the gas to fill the tank without stopping. Results in filling the tank at a very slow pace. Unsure if there is a sensor issue within…
