This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Jeep Wrangler was 3 days old with 713 miles on it. On July 24th after driving 130 miles from foxboro to rochester nh, about 4:15 pm, I pulled into a shell station to fuel the vehicle up. My 3 year old and 6 year old were in the back seat. As I was filling the vehicle someone ran over and pointed to the underside where a large volume of fluid was spilling. It was gasoline coming from the fuel tank. It was pouring onto the very hot exhaust pipe and vaporizing.I notified Chrysler Monday morning of the severity of the safety failure and received complaint number 19760031. I contacted the service center at the dealer requesting that the failed tank be evaluated and not tampered with. He indicated that it was clear there was a manufacturing defect in a bond joint in the fuel tank.
When fueling up my 2005 Jeep Wrangler the pump stops, but seems to have pressure built up in the tank because fuel spills out all over. Usually averages about 4-8 inch in diameter puddle on the ground. This happens every time I fill up and has been doing this for the past 9 months.
While filling up, the gas receptacle allows fuels pumps to keep filling past the point of usual cut-off. Resulting in gas spraying all over myself and the vehicle.
