| Description of the problem | My car stopped allowing me to put gas in it. One day it was fine, the next time i tried to put gas in it, the pump kept shutting off, similarly to when it's full and/or the pump is low. After trying different stations, cards, etc. I identified it was the car. I watched the gas go into the tank, fill quickly then slowly disperse down into the tank. I took the car to the dealership and jeep stated they believed that the roll over valve had malfunctioned causing it to stick and that the gas tank needed replacement. I specifically asked the cause of this type of issue and the service manager stated it "sometimes just happens" and confirmed multiple times it was "no form of missed maintenance" that it "just happens". Upon further inspection and mechanical review, the tank doesn't contain the valve itself, the fuel pump contains the valve which somehow just got "stuck" in turn making the vehicle think it had rolled over, shutting off flow to prevent fires. I had the pump replaced and the car is functioning fine. |
