Gasoline is leaking out when filling up. This is a know issue with previous year models. The problem is so serious that Jeep is have a problem manufacturing the part to fix it. There should be a recall.
Fuel was spilling out underneath vehicle every time I filled up. The issue was that the plastic housing where the fuel filler tube connects to the gas tank hardened and deteriorated to a point where it begins to leak. That plastic appears not to be ethanol resistant. Indications a leak will or is occurring: P0456 code or fuel dripping down under vehicle or smell of fuel.
I WAS DRIVING 35 MPH STRAIGHT ON A CITY ROAD WHEN THE ORANGE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO NEAREST AUTO STORE AND HAD IT SCANNED AND IT CAME OUT WITH CODE P0441. INCORRECT PURGE FLOW.
