| Description of the problem | I cannot fill my gas tank full without gas coming out spilling on the vehicle and on me. I own a 2005 jeep wrangler. It only has 25,258 miles on it. When i purchased the vehicle i did not purchase an extended warranty. I spoke to chrysler motors corp customer center (1-800-992-1997) (ref. #18329606) on february 10, 2009 about this safety issue. I am requesting that chrysler repairs the gas tank for me because lives are at danger when the vehicle is filled up with gas and gas comes out of the tank. Gas is getting on the vehicle, my hands and the ground at the pump. Armbruster motor co. (1-800-766-0980) informed me on february 6, 2009, the only way to correct this issue was to purchase a new gas tank. The cost of a new gas tank would be around $500. 00. Chrysler told me that they will not pay for a new gas tank but if i pay for the new gas tank they would cover the new tank for 12 months or 12,000 miles. I believe chrysler should pay for this repair because they designed the faulty gas tank that was originally placed on the vehicle. This is an extremely dangerous situation when i fill my vehicle with gas. It is not like the radio doesn't work, spilled gas is a fire hazard. Thank you, jennifer willman |
