| Description of the problem | When attempting to fill the gas tank at any commercial gas station the pump nozzle shuts off immediately. It's almost impossible to fill the gas tank since only a few ounces of fuel is released before the nozzle shuts off. Sometimes just before the nozzle shuts, gas and bubbles are released out of the filler neck. This problem will cause the vehicle to be worthless for a trade -in or a personal sale. To repair the problem the gas tank and filler tube must be replaced. The cost is around $500. Plus labor. The flap valve can't be repaired since it's connected to the vehicle computer and will show a safety warning stating that the roll over safety feature is disabled. There are other model years of jeeps that had a recall and this 2007 model should have a safety recall. |
