| Manufacurer | Chrysler (FCA US LLC) |
| Brand | JEEP |

| Component | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The valve inside the fuel tank broke and the jeep can no longer be filled with gas without the gas pump believing it is already full and turning off. This results in many, many attempts to put fuel into the vehicle and gas leaking out of the fuel pump down the side of the jeep and all over the ground. My mechanic was trying to find the issue and in his research found it to be a known problem but a non serviceable piece, meaning the entire fuel tank must be replaced. This is something that should not have failed and created an environmental hazard and a potential fire hazard as well. |
