| Description of the problem | Fueling has been an ongoing problem. I had a shut off problem in that the gas would eject from the car. Then i had a problem with slow fueling. It might take a gallon then almost stop taking forever to put fuel into the vehicle. I have taken it to begnal motors in kingston and they did address the issue and replaced the intake nozzle? And something to allow air into the tank when refueling. It seemed to be ok for awhile then went back to the fueling problem. I took it back to begnal and they seemed to believe the only solution was to replace the gas tank at my expense! This is a liability to my safety. I drove the jeep to california and back the end of june of this year and never had a problem... I have to use my vehicle for many trips out of town and it is frightening as they told me this problem would probably get worse! This is definitely an engineering problem and should be taken care of by chrysler. It seems that there is an on going issue with the fuel system. |
