| Description of the problem | Started having a problem with my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited at around 50k miles. When filling up at a gas station on a trip to the mountains. When the auto shutoff at the pumped clicked off the gas came spewing out of the file hole. I considered it a one time fluke and that possibly the gas pump was defective. As time went on it did not matter what gas station i went to the problem occurred more and more frequently. Now the only way to avoid an overflow is to stop filling at around 15 gallons and slowly top off the tank by carefully listening for the fuel level and easing the fuel into the tank. My concern is the amount of fuel spilling out on the pavement is a safety hazard. One spark could be disastrous for myself of someone who follows me at the pump. I have read where many other jeep owners with the same year and model are experiencing a similar problem. I feel this issue needs to be addressed with chrysler corporation before someone gets hurt. |
