Description of the problem | When i fuel the vehicle up fuel bursts out, and doesn't shut off automatically. I've tried numerous different stations and even different pumps but this still happens. Gas pours out of the car and down the sides and even onto me.. A pain and waste of money. There are several situations and claims that i have seen like this that need to be recalled and addressed. I have heard (from a family member who is a mechanic)that this is most likely caused by a valve in the gas tank that to prevent an explosion in the event of a rollover accident the valve is obviously defective and now nothing it stopping it from exploding from a rollover accident. Chrysler knows about this and this should be covered under manufacture defect (recall) please fix this and address this issue asap! |
