| Description of the problem | My 2008 jeep wrangler jk 4dr is just over 20k miles, and everytime i go to fill up, the gas tank overflows immediately after the pump shuts off. I am not topping off, or trying to get a couple more cents into the tank. I set the handle and sit back in my jeep to let the gas pump. When the tank is full, the pump handle clicks and stops the gas flow, when all of a sudden, gas shoots out of the tank. This happens everytime i fill up, so now i have to stand and hold the handle, making sure i don't let the gas get too high in my tank. I would estimate 2-4 cups of gasoline spill everytime this happened, resulting in discoloration to the side of my jeep (paint and fenders). Very upset that daimler chrysler has not issued a recall on this, as i know many people who are experiencing the same problem with their wranglers. |
