| Description of the problem | I have had my 2010 jeep wrangler for nearly two years, and recently the gas tank has begun to back up every time i fill up the vehicle. I do not try to "top-off" the tank, but the overflow sends fuel out of the vehicle creating exposed gasoline running down the rear quarter-panel & bumper. In some cases, a puddle of fuel forms causing a significant risk to my family, myself and others fueling at the station. This has happened consistently over the past two months. I've tried to remedy the situation by trying different fueling stations, pumps, and alternating between manual filling & using the auto fill lever on the fueling nozzle to no avail. Based on my research this is a pervasive issue on the 2010 jeep wrangler that should be addressed and remedied proactively rather than waiting for a serious incident to occur. Contrary to chrysler's response of 'user error', i have been fueling different makes & models of vehicles for over 20 years without having this occur. I urge the nhtsa to further investigate this issue. I enjoy driving my jeep, but i am now reluctant every time i have to fuel the vehicle. |
