| Description of the problem | My contact with you today involves a fuel spit back problem during refueling on my 2005 jeep wrangler (tj). I am aware of many bulletins and recalls regarding this problem, my vehicle is included in one such bulletin however falls outside of any coverage for repair of this problem by the manufacturer. My question is; how can the manufacturer cover repairs and provide an extended or in some cases a lifetime warranty on this flaw for 2007 and 2008 vehicles and ignore all of the other model years that have the same flaw? This repair will cost me nearly one thousand dollars whereas some people get the problem resolved at no cost to them. Please help. |
