| Description of the problem | Two main problems - the gas tank was replace on my 2008 jeep wrangler due to over flow problems, after reading a few discussion boards i noticed this is a huge problem. When filling the gas tank the auto shut off would signify that the tank was full, upon pulling the nozzle about a pint of gas would blow back at you. My local dealership did replace the tank, but i think this is a major danger and should be looked into. My second problem is that the jeep will stall for no reason. This has happened three times. The entire electrical system shorts out for a brief moment. No power brakes, no lights, no radio. Again discussion boards have been discussing this issue with the jeeps. In both above cases jeep turned a blind eye, my local dealership replaced the tank at their own expense after jeep dismissed the claim. Please look into these dangerous situations, before somebody is maimed or killed. |
