| Description of the problem | There is fuel cap message on the dashboard. I changed the cap and the message continued. I took the rubicon to the local jeep dealer and was told that there is problems with the fuel tank and needs to be replaced. I was told that there is a hose that goes from where the fuel gets filled to the engine and the whole tank needs to be replaced. I feel that this is a major problem and a safety hazard. The jeep is not being driven right now due to my concern. The jeep is only 5 years old and it only has 36k miles. This should be a manufacture replacement> i have never heard of such issues on other vehicles even after 50+ years. Please advice me asap on my next step. Thank you |
