| Description of the problem | Beginning two years ago, gasoline began to overflow from the fill spout of my 2006 jeep wrangler whenever i filled the tank to anywhere near its full capacity. To this day this continues to result in gasoline spilling on vehicle myself and the ground almost every time i fill my tank. The only remedy i have found is to not fill the tank all the way up, which is sometime difficult to determine. The local dealership determined i needed a new fuel tank installed ($700). I have not had the tank replaced as there is no guarantee that the problem will not occur again as the parts are, to the best of my knowledge, not updated from the parts on the vehicle now. Obviously this is a safety and environmental problem not being properly addressed or even admitted to by the manufacturer. |
