What owners wrote
When filling up gas tank fuel backflows out , splashing on my face and clothes. This problem occurs every time you try to fill the tank full. I have not yet fixed the problem was told by the dealership that it was a inlet check valve/ fuel tank assembly. The cost of the repairs is around $1000 . I feel this should be covered by chrysler!!!!
Fuel overflows when you fill the tank up. Gas kicks back smell gas fumes while parked some times. Dealer says its not covered. But there is a recall.
