| Description of the problem | I just bought a used 2008 wrangler unlimited rubicon with 37,000 miles on 1/21/2011. The dealer offered a free tank of gas with a with the purchase so we went down to the local filling station and he proceeded to fill the jeep up . I was in the passenger seat at the time and inside the jeep the smell of gas was very pronounced. As he walked away to pay the for the gas i got out of the jeep and there was a 2ft puddle of gasoline behind the jeep. He and i got back in to the jeep and he complained that the pump did not shut off and had spilled gasoline on his clothes and shrugged it off. This morning 1/28/2011 i stop by to fill up the jeep and low and behold the pump clicked off when filling up the jeep and the all of the sudden the gasoline started to run out of the fuel tank filler neck and once again a 2ft puddle of gasoline, shoes and clothes with gas on them... Not a good start to the morning. So came to work and started to search the internet and there is a lot of talk of many of this style of jeep with the same problem. I am writing you to let you know that i think there is a safety concern with this vehicle and i am planning to take it back to the dealership to have them assess the problem but i think that you should look into this problem as well. |
