| Description of the problem | Really annoying and very dangerous!! Each time we fill up our 2011 jeep wrangler with fuel, just as the pumps automatic shut-off clicks, fuel will blow out and all over whoever is holding the pump handle. There is no indication that this is going to happen, except for the click from the pump handle a split second before you get doused. We checked with our jeep dealer to see if there is a recall, and they said there was not, however it appears to be a problem with the "inlet check valve"; a mechanical item that appears to be defective, and a severe safety concern, but is somehow not under warrantee. We went on-line to research and found similar issues with other chrysler vehicles, including 2007-2009 jeep wranglers. Really aggravating to find out there had been previous complaints about this issue, chrysler knew what the issue was, but because there are not enough documented complaints for the 2011 year, it was not considered a real concern |
