| Description of the problem | Every time when fueling the car, the gas tank overflows. The shut off valve is faulty. The jeep boards have many documented incidents of this occurring. The car is a 2005 but only has 20,000 miles on it. There are recalls for 2007 and newer but nothing for my car which is a 2005. The response from jeep is it is the fault of the gas. Ethanol causes the shut off valve to expand. From my perspective it's faulty engineering. *js |
