| Description of the problem | No events leading up to failure, just happened one day. It happened to me around 75, 000 miles on my jeep, and ever since. The problem is that when i put gas into my jeep the tank isn't venting properly, which cause gas to gush out the filler opening after the pump has automatically turn off. It doesn't matter where or when i fill up, it will do it every time unless i pump the gas is really slow. Nothing has been done to correct the part. According to other jeep wrangler owners they have been told by the dealer its a faulty roll valve inside the gas tank. Which requires the entire tank to be replaced. According to one dealer this is considered a normal wear item. Yet a faulty roll over valve sounds like a safety item to me. I have heard of people having this same problem with 30k miles on their jeeps. |
