| Description of the problem | 3-25-17 - toms river, nj vt - fuel/propulsion system i purchased a jeep cherokee latitude from lester glenn in toms river i have had constant fuelling issues for apx 2 weeks now. It started suddenly the pump clicks off after less the a gallon has been pumped like it is full and continues to click off while trying to full the tank. It would also some times "burp up" before it would shut off spilling fuel on the side of the vehicle. Taking 15-20 minutes to fill the tank. This has happened at several difference gas stations. I went to the dealer to have this checked, they told me the fuel tank need replaced which cost $800. 00 plus labor and taxes. This is not covered under warranty due to the miles on my car (56000). This seems to be safety issue, as the fuel spills causing both a fire and environmental problem. This also seems to be a manufactures defect as there has not any damage or modifications to the vehicle or fuel tank, the fuel tank is not a wearable parts and should be covered by jeep even though i an over the miles. |
