Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Gasoline spewing from top of tank after filling. Seems to be coming from top of tank - vent tube. I cannot find a recall on this item on the NHTSA website but I found a recall campaign 00v195000. The dealer denies that this recall exists. Dealer is hill-kelly in pensacola, fl. Happens when vehicle is stopped at gasoline pump/service station.”
NHTSA complaint #11118288, filed 2018-08, 186,000 miles“Driving along the roadway at approximately 45 MPH the automobile shut down (no gas-no ignition-no dash lights). I pulled of the road, tried to, but would not start. After sitting there for 45 minutes it started again. This has happened five more times since. The last time on I-95 in a construction zone with very limited access to leave the highway. No more driving on main roads and highways. Chrysler dealer didn't have any knowledge of problems like this.”
NHTSA complaint #10712679, filed 2015-04, 117,000 miles“I can't put gas in the tank unless it is at the very slightest flow or it just shuts off and sometimes spews gas back out at me. I have been soaked with gasoline more than once. I can't even put it on the lowest setting on the handle. I saw the recalls and called the dealer who said that they know that this is a manufacturers defect but they won't do anything because my VIN isn't in the recall. This is obviously a fire hazard and I can't believe we can't get this fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #10566030, filed 2014-02, 167,000 miles“I presently don't have a picture of the gas pouring out from the gas tank area. I can get you one upon your request. Their is already a investigation on my Jeep in the works. The problem is getting worse. The fumes are making me sick from within. My gas tank is leaking from somewhere. I've was pulled over from a stranger on the road after filling the tank up twice in one week last week. The man said my gas is leaking out. I ask how he knew and his response was my fumes were coming into his car and my tank under the Jeep was wet. …”
NHTSA complaint #10906851, filed 2016-09, 114,000 miles“My car has major problems and I can't afford to fix, then I find the problem that I have is due to the automaker's problem because the car is on recalls for the problems I am having. I received no notices on any recall, and when I got on the web-site to check for recalls there are as many as 10 major problems with my car and Jeep. Some could cause me to crash or even explode while driving. Where are my recall notices?”
