Description of the problem | I purchased my 2010 wrangler new. The last three times i have filled my fuel tank, gas has spewed out of the tank immediately after the nozzle clicked off. It seems to be coming from a build-up of pressure inside of the gas tank because the gas comes back out of the tank forcefully even if the nozzle is still in the tank. The first time this happened to me i had to go home to change clothes and to wash the gasoline off of my legs. I thought it was something i had done wrong. I have since filled up two more times and i have used different pumps at different gas stations with the same result. This happened again today (01/21/14), and the station attendant rushed out to clean up the fuel that was spilled because there was so much on the ground and again, i had gas spewed on me. I feel this is a very dangerous situation and should be addressed in some way by chrysler. |
