I HAVE BEEN SPRAYED TO MANY TIMES AND HAD TO DRIVE WITH GAS ON MY CLOTHES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS NOT ONLY FROM RISK OF FIRE BUT FROM BREATHING GAS FUMES ON ONES CLOTHES. I TALKED WITH JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASK WHY THEY DIDN'T HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND WAS INFORMED THEY DON'T ISSUE RECALLS UNLESS THEY ARE FORCED. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT, I HOPE YOU ALL WILL CHANGE YOUR DECISION AND FORCE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I CAN ALSO SEND A VIDEO OF GAS SLASHING OUT EVERY WHERE IF YOU NEED PROOF. *TR

I REPORTED THIS TO JEEP WHEN IF FIRST OCCURRED AND THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE, BUT WOULD NOT CORRECT IT FREE OF CHARGE. BUT LET ME KNOW THAT I COULD PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAVE NOT PAID TO FIX IT AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN TO THIS DAY. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT, BUT STILL HAVE NOT ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO CORRECT IT.

I JUST PURCHASED MY 4 DOOR, 09 WRANGLER ON THURSDAY MARCH 13. I FIRST HAD TO FILL IT UP THAT SATURDAY THE 15ND. WHEN I DID, THE GAS TANK CLICKED OFF BUT GAS STILL CAME POURING OUT OF THE TANK (NOT THE NOZZLE). I WAS INCREDIBLY IRRITATED I JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP AND NOW THERE WAS GAS POURING DOWN THE SIDE AND FENDERS. AFTER CLEANING IT UP I CHAULKED IT UP AS FAULTY EQUIPMENT AT THE GAS STATION . HOWEVER, THE NEXT 2 TIMES I FILLED UP, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS IS INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING. NOT ONLY IS IT DANGEROUS BUT ITS DISGUSTING. NOT TO MENTION THESE VEHICLES AREN'T CHEAP, WE DON'T NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT GAS EATING AWAY AT THE VEHICLE AS ANOTHER EXPENSIVE. I'VE HEARD THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ADDRESS IT. I FIND THIS EMBARRASSING ON THEIR PART AND SHOWS POOR BUSINESS PRACTICE. *TR
