| Description of the problem | This started about a year ago when my vehicle 2015 jeep cherokee had apx 60000 miles, when i fill my gas tank i need to trickle the fuel in. If try to fill it too fast it will shut off the pump, making it apx 10-15 minutes to pump 10 or more gallons, when it is finely is full, it will over flow and "burp" out the fuel all over the side of the vehicle and the person filling the tank. I went to the dealer and they said i needed to replace the fuel tank and it was not under warranty. The fuel tank was on back order and would be 2 to 4 weeks. In the mean time the problem went away before the back ordered tank came in. Note the dealer never did call when the part came in if it did. I did not have the tank replace this lasted apx 6 months until the problem started again. This sounds like a manufacturers defect, that is dangerous (spilled fuel), environmentally bad and wasteful. I have spoken to other jeep owners with the same problem and have hear about the same problem from several employees at the gas stations i have used. I would understand if there was a wearable part involved, but what can wear out on a fuel tank in 60000 miles and 2. 5 years. I believe this should be a jeep recall and should be covered by jeep. |
