| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | While filling the gas tank fuel burped out of the fill nozzle misting onto the side of the vehicle, gas pump, and operators hand. Fuel pooled below the fill port under the vehicle. The tank was being filled and approaching a full tank, but the pump hand not clicked off and the tank was not being"topped off". This incident occurred two more times since this report today, october 9th 2012. I have seen there is a corrective warranty offered by chrysler and this incident does not occur if the flow rate is manually slowed when approaching a full tank. |
