| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 jeep wrangler lwb, recently, every time i fill up with fuel,gas shoots out of the fuel filler. This defect is well documented on the jeep website forums. It seems chrysler is replacing some fuel tanks, as they are attributed to the rollover valve, built into the tank. But, as i see it, this is a design flaw, as the tanks they are replacing, will in time, do the same thing. Your timely investigation of this matter, is of utmost importance. The violence of some of the spills i have witnessed, deserve immediate action. |
