| Description of the problem | When filling jeep wrangler, the automatic fuel shutoff feature of pump does not work, and gas sprays out briefly before shutting off, spilling on vehicle, operator, and ground. I have had tank replaced by dealer at 50,000 miles, cost of $350 to me. I understand that you have closed the investigation into this, and if so, you are truly incompetent idiots (i'm sorry, but come on). This is a defective product with safety and environmental negative impact! Even though i have replaced my tank at some personal expense, i believe that it is with the same product, and i fully expect it to fail again in the future. Wouldn't you expect a modern vehicle, even a "simple" one to be able to fill without getting gas on yourself, the vehicle, and the ground?!!! Please consider re-opening the case; the idea that the internet created this problem is ridiculous. |
