Description of the problem	It was confirmed by the dealership my 2012 jeep patriot been diagnosed with an internal fuel tank failure. My manufacturer date was nov. 2011 and a recall was issued in dec. 2011 to replace the fuel tank (of course my vehicle didn't qualify). I do not have $1600 to replace something that chrysler should take responsibility for and fix. I have a feeling that they knew that these gas tanks were faulty before dec. 2011, and in order to not have to replace them, they took the easy and barely any money out of their pocket route and did a recall for the transfer hose hoping that would correct the issue which if that's what they thought, sorry it didn't work. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle, let alone trying to put gas in it with the gas pump shutting off every few cents. The only way i can put gas in is by a very slow trickle which takes about 10 - 15 minutes. Within the last few weeks, it's getting even more difficult as i hear the gas backing up in the filler neck. The dealership was not any help other than telling me how much it was going to cost without any explanation as to why it happened. We need help in getting chrysler to address this issue before someone gets killed. Someone please hear us and help us and do something now!!!
