| Description of the problem | Second owner vehicle bought aug 2015 with approximately 32000 miles. Every time fuel is added to the vehicle, no matter which pump i use, fuel gushes from the filler neck of the vehicle. This occurs even if i fill the tank slowly not using the automatic filler on the pump. If the tank is filled to full it will overflow. Approximately a pint of gasoline shoots out of the filler neck and down the side of the vehicle onto the ground and myself. This is a well documented complaint with these vehicles. Please tell chrysler to fix this environmental and safety hazard. |
