Consumer Description

FOR A FEW WEEKS I WOULD OCCASIONALLY SMELL GAS FUMES. I HAD THE TRUCK VISUALLY INSPECTED AND THE MECHANIC COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEN ONE DAY I FILLED THE TANK. WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL, INSTEAD OF THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF THE PUMP BEGAN POURING GAS ONTO THE GROUND. THIS TIME THEY DROPPED THE TANK TO FIND THAT THE METAL COLLAR ON TOP OF THE TANK HAD RUSTED AWAY CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO POP UP HALF OUT OF THE TANK. THAT WAS THE REASON THE PUMP HAD NOT SHUT OFF . GAS WAS FLOWING OUT OF THE TOP OF THE TANK!!. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IF THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTION HAD SHORTED OUT WITH THE TOP OF THE TANK OPEN THE WAY IT WAS ,ME AND ANYONE IN THE TRUCK WOULD HAVE BEEN BLOWN UP!!!. THIS WAS A VERY POOR DESIGN ON CHRYSLER'S PART THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO KILL PEOPLE.
