What owners wrote
I just pulled out of quick trip after putting $60 in gas in and right about 35 MPH around 1500RPM I heard a loud "pop" the jeep shut down, then flames came from both sides of my jeep, almost burning my leg. (I had the doors and top off the vehicle.)
I just recently bought this vehicle used. When I refuel the vehicle, the pump stops, but then fuel shoots out of the tank.
