Consumer Description

THERE IS A VALVE IN THE GAS TANK THAT'S PREVENTS GAS SPILLAGE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT AND THE CAR ROLLS OVER. THIS VALVE IS DEFECTIVE AND NOW MY VEHICLE SPILLS GAS WHENEVER I GAS UP AUTOMATICALLY. THIS MEANS THAT THE SAFETY VALVE IS INOP AND IF I ROLLOVER DURING AN ACCIDENT THE GAS WILL SPILL OUT.

THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL CAUSE E EN THE DEALER TOLD ME IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF IT. HOW CAN WE EEL SAFE DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING MALFUNCTION. *TR
