| Description of the problem | Every time i fill the gas tank, gas splashes back onto the pavement (or my clothing if i am standing near the fill pipe). This is a well known, and dangerous, problem that jeep owners are aware of (per the on-line forums). I understand that there was a recall or service bulletin related to earlier models of jeep wranglers. Two dealers i went to deny any knowledge of this problem with 2010 wranglers. On-line forums indicate that this is a continuing problem on newer wranglers and that dealers are charging $200 - $600 to fix the problem when a simple solution for many owners has been to personally install part cnnnx321ac ($40. 00) which is a replacement fuel fill tube that has some sort of mechanism in it to prevent splash back. I installed this part and it solved the problem. The dealers i went to said they were not aware of this fix. I think that chrysler should be paying for this fix. Instead they are denying that there continues to be a problem on the newer vehicles. I can't emphasize enough how dangerous this problem is. |
