What owners wrote
At every fuel fill up, gasoline splashes back out onto the vehicle, the person filling the vehicle and creates a very unsafe puddle of gasoline on the ground. There is never a time that it does not happen. I would be readily available to make my vehicle available for inspection of this concern. Chrysler has issued recalls for this exact problem on several of their vehicle models all within the same time period of manufacturing.
I have a 2005 jeep wrangler x model. Every time I fill it with gas it will overflow. Does not matter which gas station I use.
