| Description of the problem | When going to refill the gas tank, the fuel pump would stop after very little fuel had been pumped into the tank, as if it were vapor lock. I tried several different fuel pumps at several different gas stations, to rule out the pump being the problem. I took the jeep into the dealer and have been told there are no blockages, but to fix the problem the fuel spout and the tank need to be replaced. After looking into this online, i was floored to see many other people have had this issue. My jeep has less than 80,000 miles on it, and has been well taken care of and serviced correctly. For a 5 year old car with 80k miles on it, i find it inexcusable to have to replace a fuel tank and spout for a faulty in either design, or bad parts. |
