| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 jeep wrangler. When filling up the vehicle with gasoline it often doesn't register the fact that the tank is full and the gas comes pouring out. The gas leaks onto me, my jeep and the ground. This happens every time i fill my tank. I see this as a safety issue since it's bad to get gasoline on your body/clothing, it's also damaged the paint on my jeep in that area and the spillage on the ground is not good for the environment and a danger for others as well. Nothing has been done to correct the failure. Chrysler claims they don't see it as a "safety hazard." of course, it is a safety hazard. There is a faulty part in the gas tank/gas tank assembly that some of us cannot afford to pay for out of pocket. In fact, why should we? It's a defect from the factory. This has been ongoing but i listed the approximate incident date as the month i purchased the vehicle. |
