If my vehicle were to be involved in a roll over accident the malfunction of this valve will cause the leakage of fuel and possible explosion of the vehicle.

Hopefully with your help a recall can be issued for this model and make Chrysler stand by their product regardless of warranty. Its a major safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately.
