Consumer Description

FILLING UP WITH GAS CAUSES ENGINE TO STALL. AUTO GARAGE SAYS IT'S THE CHECK BALL FOR THE FUEL TANK ALLOWING FOR OVERFILLING OF TANK AND THAN FUEL GETTING INTO THE VACUUM SYSTEM WHICH THEN CAUSE THE JEEP TO STALL WITHIN 5 MINS. THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF IN INTERSECTION WITH THE KIDS IN THE CAR AND ALMOST GETTING HIT BY A DRIVER NOT PLAYING ATTENTION WHILE MY HUSBAND PUSHED THE JEEP OUT OF THE WAY TILL IT WANTED TO START AGAIN.
