| Description of the problem | In approx nov of 2012 i started having problems with fuel overflowing on ground/feet when filling gas tank. There would be a quart or better of fuel that would spill. After the fourth occurance i had dealership check it out while in for routine oil change. On february 6, 2013, i was advised that the vent had failed on the gas tank and the gas tank needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, there is a minimun three week back order on jeep gas tanks from chrysler. Dealership told me they are seeing a high number of filler neck and tank failures, causing the delay in obtaining parts. I was told this is not a recall, but i am still covered under warranty. Now jeep feels like it is going to stall while idiling. Dealership advised this is probably related to the gas tank not venting. |
