| Description of the problem | Purchased a 06 jeep unlimited (lj) with the 4. 0 engine. When filling up the gas tank, the tank becomes full and gas then spills out the fill tube. This is everytime you fill up the jeep. Chrysler says they are aware of the problem but that there is no fix or real concern by them for this problem. My concern is the waste of gas, the environment hazard by spilling gas, the possible damage to my vehicles paint and the potential fire hazard. This has been ongoing since i purchased this jeep in 05-09. I understand that numerous other jeep lj's have this same problem and that it has something to do with a weak vent spring. |
