| Every time i fill up my 94 yj, gas spills out the back of it. the pump kicks off but as it kicks off it spills and i have to clean the gas running down the back of the jeep. it seems to me there's something wrong with the back pressure that kicks off the pump. i'm guessing the fuel completely fills up the tube and only when the gas hits the nozzle does it shut off. it is very difficult to fill my tank up and is also very unsafe to do so, as gas spilling out the back is a fire hazard. it seems i'm not the only jeep owner dealing with this problem. (http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f176/have-fuel-spill-problems-like-many-us-submit-complaint-force-recall-974337/) so here i am filing my complaint, i hope something will be done. because i'm tired of being soaked in gas every time i try to fill my tank. | |||

| Spoke w/ chrysler and the dealership directly about leak in dashboard. since my vehicle was out of warranty, neither would do anything about problem w/o having their mechanic inspect the vehicle at a cost of $75/hr. payable by owner (me). i pointed out all they needed to do was look at the passenger side floorboard to see the puddle of water left after it rained the night before. after my experience w/ chrysler regarding the cracked gasket on my fuel tank, which i just found out was a recall issue, i figured there was nothing i could do and have endured the inconvenience ever since. i have met another person w/ a newer model wrangler w/ same problem of leakage via dashboard. i hope there are others out there w/ same problem in the hopes that chrysler will recognize the situation and fix it. *ak | |||

| After detecting a significant fuel leak on my vehicle, i consulted nhtsa's website. as this was an unexpected/unusual occurrence, i suspected a recall may be in effect. i confirmed campaign #94v106000 is in effect for ~230,000 units, and that the problem i was experiencing was consistent with the recall. i contacted chrysler national service ~17 nov and received advice to present it to dealer for repair and inclusion under recall. following scheduled appoinment and repairs for a safety item, follow-up with chrysler for reimbursement has been unsuccessful. chrysler maintains that my vehicle is not affected, despite consistency with other similarly affected vehicles. request reimbursement for $162.60 for this safety item -- fuel leak near ignition source (exhaust system) was not an optional repair, and chrysler should honor inclusion for this fairly negligible amount. *ak | |||
