| Description of the problem | While trying to put gas into my 2007 jeep jk wrangler unlimited, fuel started to pour out the underside. I took my vehicle to the mechanic and they informed me that a large crack was on the filler neck that is attached to the fuel tank. They also informed me that due to the discoloration of the plastic inlet it has been leaking for a while. Upon removing the tank, they also discovered that the spring inside the nozzle is highly defective. Apparently, the spring is supposed to push back once the fuel tank is full. As a jeep owner for years i? M extremely angry that an inexpensive part made poorly could of cost the life of my family, friends and anything within range if a fire erupted. Chrysler should recall these defective tanks immediately. I can provide photos of the filler neck and nozzle. |
