Description of the problem | At the end of attempting to fill our gas tank, fuel expelled from the tank back out onto my husband, the side of the car and the ground around the port. This experience has repeated itself at different gas stations and in different outdoor conditions (rainy, sunny, snow, etc.). We previously owned a 2008 jeep wrangler that demonstrated the same issue and a repair was made as that model year was within a previous recall range. Before we purchase this vehicle (used) we checked the maintenance and repair records and knew this issue had not been identified. So, we were surprise to experience it. We were even more surprised to learn that chrysler is not going to assume the responsibility to repair this know defect issue for a later model (why hasn't this been fixed?) with little concern for personal or environmental safety for families when reported. All attempts to converse with chrysler representatives about this have resulted in a "it's your problem" attitude - no recall, no warranty and wrong model year - and absolutely pushing us to take it up with the dealer to get fixed. Our dealer is an honest, hardworking business and we know it's not his issue . . . It's chrysler's. Chrysler needs to make this right. This is my primary means of transportation. I drive three school-age children in this car. It was to be the car my soon-to-be licensed drivers were to have. |
