It would help if you told us what model/year your DJ is as
any TSBs issued can be specific to those references.
Having said that "some" 11/12/13 DJ owners have referenced
to the fact the gas guage never says full and Chrysler has issued
software updates that are year specific,although some say it did not
resolve their particular problem.

There is a TSB with regards to the '12 DJ fuel accuracy.
You may also have filler neck with poor air circulation
and I have 2 instances of new parts being installed.
Take it to the dealer as '12 should be covered.
This is the accuracy TSB:

I just had this happen to me lol.... I just bought a used/Demo 2012 with 11,000km's on it with the 3.6 liter motor and my gas gauge started to show in accurate levels. To test this I saw my gauge after 10km's of driving go to 3/4 of a tank. And I was like what the heck. So I stopped in at another gas station thinking I didn't fill it all the way well it was topped but not over filled. And the gauge was pretty steady at 3/4 mark. So took it to the dealer and they replaced fuel pump. And now gauge works awesome.
