| Description of the problem | I bought this wrangler on 5-30-2015. The first time i took it to fill up the gas tank, i was exposed to the fact that the tank does not shut off and overflows all over the jeep (and me). This has happened everytime we go to fill up, to where we have to watch the fuel level on the instrument panel to make sure it does not get all the way to full. This indeed happened again just a week ago sunday when we went to fill up and i was speaking with a gentlemen who had just bought his jeep and i was talking to him about his and if he has had issue with his gas tank overflowing. As i was talking to him yep, you guessed it, it overflowed. Now, i read today that chrysler has said that it has to do with the type of fuel you put into the tank?? Really??? So i have put in anywhere from 85, 87, 90, and higher grade fuels, and it still happens? Next are they going to say it is the gas station company i go to? The way i put the nozzle into the tank? (does this sounds sarcastic when you read it? Good) i find that comment from chrysler absolutely demeaning and idiotic!!! It has been a known issue on several previous models of jeeps, but for some reason they are going to ignore this one? What will it take chrysler? Will it take a class action lawsuit to get your company to fix the problem? I now just read a reply that someone had contacted a law firm in regards to a class action suit and that it had been transferred to bankruptcy court in new york where it was still alive and that the court had granted chrysler's motion to dismiss stating they are barred by the sale order between bankrupt chrysler and the new chrysler. Wow!!! Great business model. Lets file bk. (one of the questions asked at the bottom of this complaint form is when did this happen? Every time i fill up since 5-30-2015!!! |
