| Description of the problem | 2006 jeep wrangler rubicon - problem started to occur at 49k miles(could have been earlier-i bought the car at this mileage, 2nd owner). Gas would spit/flow out of the fill port before the pump clicks off for full. It always goes on your hands, clothes, floor and down the side of the jeep. At 52k(currently have 84k) it happens every time now. So now you have to put your ear close to the gas tank and listen for it to become almost full, and stop pumping quickly before it overfills and spits out.(this is the only way to get a full tank) on several occasions, if there is a lot of ambient noise, you will miss the "almost full" sounds and it'll spray gasoline on your face/clothes. I'm sick of dealing with this issue, im out of warranty, so dealer is no help. Also when traveling to nj, the gas attendants are full serve only by law, and they complain to me every time i need to get gas in nj. It spits gas all over the attendant. This is a serious safety issue, i get gas on my skin almost every time i'm refueling the jeep. Chrysler/jeep needs to do a recall. There are thousands+ of these complaints. |
