Consumer Description

EVERY TIME GAS TANK IS FILLED THE CAR BUCKS THEN STALLS AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. THIS HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION. I HAVE READ ON FORUMS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN JEEPS FOR YEARS BUT HAS YET TO BE ADDRESSED. ACCORDING TO THE POST THE ISSUE HAS TO DEAL WITH THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH GAS PUMPS SHUTTING OFF WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK. I ATTEMPTED TO TAKE IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW GAS CAP. $100 LATER AND STILL THE SAME ISSUE.
