| Component | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Vehicle will spit back fuel when performing a fill up (at time of filling.). The fuel forcefully shoots out of the refuiling access point. Amount of fuel that spits back is condiderable (the better of a pint;) enough to cover the side of the vehicle, the rear bumper (as well as on myself) and will leave a considerable amount of fuel on the pavement at the gas station. I will point out that i never top off the tank. I simply fill until the fuel nozzle stops - a normal way of fueling. The "spit back" occurs within 1-2 seconds after fueiling is completed. I have checked with chrysler, and this is a known issue. In fact, a tsb (14-001-11) as well as a warranty extension was issued for this problem, but the the extension was only issued for 2007 and 2008 models. My model (2009) is the same vehicle, however, i am not being afforded (by chrysler) the same consideration simply due to the fact that my model year exceeds 2008. I view this as a major safety issue, especially given the fact that i at many times, i have my children in the vehicl when i need to fuel up. I truly feel this problem has not been rectified for the 2009 model year, and further believe that i should be afforded the same benefit to have this fixed at no charge - as i am experiencing the identical issue. Again, this should be addressed as it really is a safety issue. Please note that i selected that there was an "injury" due to the fact that i had been covered in gasoline, which is known to be toxic. -thank you for your help/consideration. I welcome a call to discuss further or if i can provide any more info to help. *js |
