Description of the problem	Recently my 2008 jeep compass started having trouble with refueling. It would spit fuel back out anytime i tried to fill the tank. The dealer cleaned the check valve in the fuel tank, but it only lasted for one fill up. This is a safety issue! Today, fuel came gushing back out and soaked my pants leg and shoes. Chrysler has recalled other jeep models (and other chrysler vehicles) for this problem. However, mine is not being recalled because there have not been enough complaints for my model. Yet i look online and see many complaints of this issue with other jeep compass owners! This is unacceptable!!! Chrysler is aware of the faulty fuel tanks and regardless of recall status, they should be replacing fuel tanks for anyone experiencing this problem! My jeep only has 68,000 miles on it. This should not be happening. I had to drive home today in fuel soaked pants and now the interior of my jeep stinks of fuel! There is no telling what could happen with this fuel tank in an accident. When the heat of summer gets here and my fuel tank isn't venting properly it could be an even bigger safety risk! Please investigate this issue asap! I can't afford $1,000 to replace a faulty plastic fuel tank!
