| Description of the problem | Last summer (2010) my 4-door 2007 jeep wrangler began having problems with the gas shut-off valve. When filling up with gasoline, gas would shoot out of the tank at the end of the filling process. It splashes out of the tank and if i don't get out of the way in time, gas can spray on my body. Otherwise, gas spills out all over the exterior of the vehicle and onto the ground around the vehicle. The problem happened intermittently for a while and now happens almost every time i fill up with fuel. Nothing has been done to correct the problem as i feel this is a defect and not something i should be responsible for. |
