| Description of the problem | My gas tank will overflow if i am not incredibly careful with the gas nozzle. This has happened repeated times and on one occasion poured gas on my shoes. (i now stand pretty far back whenever i am filling up) it has also poured down the side of the jeep, discoloring the fender and paint, as well as leaving an approximate 1-2 foot puddle of gas on the ground at the gas station. I'd guess about 1/4 to 1/3 gallon of gas will gush out each time it overflows. To fix this (according to chrysler) would cost between $800 and $1000. How is this in any possible way *not* a safety hazard???! |
