| Description of the problem | I just purchase a jeep and the first time i filled up with gas, the pump shut off but fuel splashed out on the ground, the vehicle and me. I thought at first i just had done something wrong. I went three days later to fuel up again and this time did not use the nozzle handle latch and the same thing happened. The pump shut off and i kept the nozzle in the tank for a moment for the fuel to settle but it spilled out with force all over my car, the concrete and me. I don't know what to do as i love my jeep but this is unsafe and i want it fixed! Obviously there is no warranty remaining but i should not have to pay for a new fuel tank and system. There are numerous people on the internet forums that are having the same problem, this needs to be addressed and corrected...... Before a major incident occurs! |
