| Description of the problem | The vehicle cannot be allowed to fill up on standard auto shutoff pumps. The fuel will rush out in a sudden backsplash. The situation creates the highest risk for fire and conflagration. The 08 and later wranglers have a recall, but the 07 does not. The 07 is the same body style as the 08 and later. Nhtsa has claimed that media sensationalism has hyped public opinion on the matter. Unfortunately, i have to deal with the possibility of death and fire every time i fill up at the pump because nhtsa refuses to force the manufacturer to fix the issue. Nhtsa needs to wake up and address the problem. |
