| Description of the problem | Bought my 2009 wrangler x 2 door automatic with 13k miles and perfect condition with all the bells and whistles. Signed loan papers and drove around the corner to my work to fill up on gas. While pumping gas, gas squirted back out of the filler neck and covered my pants, boots, the side of the jeep and ran down the paint and onto the tires and rims as well. Gas everywhere! Had no change of clothes and nothing to wipe gas off the paint, tires, and plastic fender. Extremely dangerous! Every fill up results in gas spewing out onto the jeep and ground and if my wife, kids, or me isn't paying attention then we are wearing the gas as well. Thank god no open flame or kaboom. I see fixes for 2007/2008 but apparently other years suffer as well with this dangerous problem. Immediate fix needed. May consult legal advice on this matter as dealership refuses help. |
