| Description of the problem | 09/24/19 i noticed a huge stain under the right back side on my jeep and could smell the strong odor of gas. I took it to the dealership i purchased it from and they checked it the whole day and stated nothing was showing of a gas leak or could smell the gas. Brought my vehicle home unsure because i had video of how you could hear the fuel gurgling from the tank. Today 11/09/19 again the fuel is leaking i have video showing how the fuel is going everywhere while the truck is parked and had been parked for 24 hours. Something needs to be done. It's scary to drive to and from work in the vehicle. I was first told from the dealership not to overfill my tank which i don't nor have i ever. I know something is not right with this gas tank. Please contact me at [xxx]. I really need to know what to do from here. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
