Consumer Description

WHEN I FILL-UP MY GAS TANK, THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF PROPERLY AND GAS OVERFLOWS TANK, SPILLING ONTO REAR QUARTER PANEL, BUMPER, AND GROUND SURFACE. AT TIME OF FILL-UP, VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, PARKING BREAK ON, AND ENGINE OFF. THIS OCCURS PRACTICALLY EVERY TIME I FILL UP GAS TANK, AND OCCURS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. HENCE, THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CAUSED BY THE GAS STATION PUMPS, AND APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY MY VEHICLE NOT SHUTTING OFF PUMP BEFORE GAS OVERFLOWS TANK. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE, AND IT APPEARS THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON TO JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS, AND JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX PROBLEM. OVERALL, THE OVERFLOWING OF GAS FROM TANK UPON EACH FILL-UP PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO VEHICLE OWNERS AND GAS STATION ATTENDANTS (NOTE: I LIVE IN NJ, AND STATE LAW REQUIRED GAS STATION ATTENDANTS, I.E., NOT VEHICLE OWNERS, TO PUMP ALL GAS INTO VEHICLES). I BELIEVE JEEP SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, AND UNDERSTAND THAT THEY INITIATED A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR 2007 TO 2009 JEEP WRANGLERS, BUT NOT LATER MODELS.
