| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited that has a gas tank issue and based on the web blog most owners have the same problem. The problem has to do with the gas tank and filling the car up. The stop value is defected in the gas tank so when you fill up your car gas shots out of the gas tank once when it is full. I have tried numerous gas stations, difference positions and have taken it into chrysler-jeep and the response back that i have gotten is "yes we know there is a problem but there is no way to fix it. I would suggest just not filling the tank all the way up." this is a serious issue as the gas shooting out could get on something, ignite and if nothing else it is spilling gas on the cement of gas stations on a daily bases around the country leading to environmental contamination. Can you please look into this and get in contact with jeep. Thank you |
