Description of the problem	I went to my local gas station to refuel my jeep. After pumping in 38 cents the pump clicked. I removed the nozzle and tried again and it clicked once more. It took 11 minutes to pump my tank full. I contacted chrysler who refused to help with any assistance to fix my vehicle and stated i would first have to pay for a diagnostic with a chrysler dealership, (which in my area never answers the phone and never has an appointment time open) wants 115 for a diagnostic. I had my ford dealer diagnose the issue and they explained that the vent line in the top of the fuel tank is clogged. On this particular vehicle, according to alldata, this part is not service able which means i have to replace the entire fuel tank which is quoted at 922 for the part and between 400-600 for installation. That is absolutely unacceptable. I would like to see what can be done to resolve this issue because i really don't see how refueling my tank will cause this issue. I think this is a manufacturer defect and the manufacturer should be held responsible.
