| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 unlimited jeep wrangler and a couples years ago, while my car was still under warranty, the gas tank started overflowing, the pump did not stop and gas would get all over the car, my clothing, etc. The dealership then replaced the entire gas tank. Recently this problem began again and i had to contact the manufacturer directly and then the dealership to get this fixed. I ended up paying approximately $222 to get a new gas tank again. When i went fill up the car after picking it up from being "supposedly" fixed i realized that it was not fixed and gas was all over my car. It seems as if this is a recurring problem and replacing the gas tank is a short term fix or no fix at all. Needless to say, i have to bring my wrangler back to the dealership again. |
