| Description of the problem | I have a 2008 jeep wrangler. Each time i refuel the gas tank it spews gasoline on me as well as the vehicle and the ground. This is a fairly large amount and must be a fire safety as well as a health hazard from direct skin contact. I purchased this vehicle from the dealership used and under warranty approximately 8 months ago. This problem started about 2 1/2 months ago after warranty expired. I am taking vehicle back to dealership along with a printout of the complaints already voiced of the same nature since this appears to be a ongoing problem with these vehicles. |
