| Description of the problem | I am the owner of a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara with 69,000 miles. I purchased the vehicle brand new in february of 2007. Four about the last 18 months of owning the vehicle, the fuel overflows every time i go to the gas station to fill the tank. I place the nozzle in the filler tube and set the pump to auto fill. Once the tank is filled, the pump clicks off and the fuel tank then "burps" about 2-3 cups of fuel out. At times, the fuel comes out vigorously in a spray making it even more flammable and covering me and the vehicle. I have gone to many different gas stations since, and have had the problem every time i fill the tank. The problem also occurs when i hold the pump and try to limit the fuel flow. There are hundreds of known cases regarding this extreme safety issue, and it's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt, or even worse... Killed. |
