| Description of the problem | Since 2017, every time i pump fuel into the car at gas station, the pump overflows and spills all over the side of the car, the ground and then my feet and hands because i have to step in the puddle and put the gas cap on. I moved to tn from ca in 2016 and i have been thinking that it the shell gas pumps here in tn that were causing it... As if they were old or not up to some sort of "ca standard" or something. However, after this problem just happened to my pregnant wife with our 2 year old in the car, i decided to check a jeep forum and see if anyone else is having this problem. Lo and behold, this appears to be a serious issue dating back 10 years to a 2010 forum i found. Url: https://www. Jeepforum. Com/forum/f176/have-fuel-spill-problems-like-many-us-submit-complaint-force-recall-974337/ this video shows exactly what happens: https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? Time_continue=7&v=hae5ht-_y48&feature=emb_logo this is a serious risk of fire and safety... For not just me, but any patron at a gas station who is either there with me or drives up to my pump after me. The fumes are now on our feet and then in the car... Then we go home or where and spread that gasoline fumes around everywhere we go. This is a serious safety issue and i'm very concerned why there is no recall on this given the ease to diagnose this problem with one simple google search. I'm very concerned... |
