| Description of the problem | Jk/ gas tank overflows/will not shut off. On more then 1 occasion the gas tank on my 2007 jk jeep wrangler has failed to shut off when filling up and spills all over the rear of the jeep and the ground. 2 jeep dealers in fairfax, va have told me that i needed a new tank. I have an extended warranty with intercontinental warranty service (iws) and they refuse to authorize the work. I am in the process of canceling the warranty and filing a complaint against them. A of right now i still need a gas tank but cannot find one online, seems only dealers have them right now for 2007-2010 model years. Also the soft top leaks very bad at the top of the door/roof pillars both sides when it rains. Also have had this in to the same 2 jeep dealers and both say i need a to as it is a design flaw. Both has leak specialists look at it and replace header and door seals but still leaks just as bad. As a life long jeep owner i am completely fed up with the jeep brand. A little searching on the internet tells me that these 2 issues are well known but that jeep is refusing to address them so people like me have to pay more money out of pocket. These 2 issues are clearly safety related, gas spilling out and hitting a hot exhaust is a major problem, the same with water getting into the electrical system. |
