| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | While fueling my 2006 jeep wrangler, the fuel failed to stop dispensing when the tank was full. This resulted in fuel spewing out from the tank. The fuel got on me as well as the jeep and the immediate surrounding areas. I have fueled the jeep at multiple gas stations with the same result. Fuel spilling out from the tank is a serious fire, environmental, and health hazard. After reviewing the nhtsa's website as well as other reputable sources, this seems to be a very common problem/complaint. I'm aware that the 2007 and newer jeeps have a recall to fix this problem. I failed to realize how such a common and serious problem can be ignored in the 2006 jeeps. |
