| Description of the problem | Every time i attempt to fill my 2005 jeep wrangler's tank to full, gas spills out of the fuel tube after the pump shuts off automatically. This is at least 8oz of fuel easily gushing out and is a fire hazard. I am the second owner, and have only owned it since 7/31/10. I have filled the tank 4 times and all 4 times this has occurred. A google search revealed a wrangler forum where countless jeep owners are experiencing the same issue, chrysler will not issue a recall even though they have paid for numerous gas tanks to be replaced. I have not called chrysler yet, because i already know the runaround i will encounter based on other's experience, and am waiting until i have some time off next week to devote to this frustrating phone call. |
