| Component | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | When fueling the vehicle, when the tank is full and the gasoline nozzle shuts off, approximately one cup of gasoline comes out of the vehicle filler tube and sprays the area around the filler inlet and down the side of the vehicle. This event occurs regardless of the rate of fuel flow. This event occurs when the filler nozzle turns off automatically or when the user manually controls the rate of fuel. This problem has been diagnosed by fca as a defect in a plastic valve located in the vehicle's fuel tank that reacts negatively with gasoline additives, specifically ethanol. Fca does not consider this to be a safety issue. As the vehicle owner, i consider the fact that the vehicle spews gasoline out at me while refueling to be a safety issue and request that the national highway traffic safety administration takes steps to require fca to resolve this issue before someone is burned. Thank you. Updated 9/15/15*cw *cn |
