Every time I fill my gas tank it takes 20 minutes to fill it just keeps shutting gas off at handle. I have checked a Jeep forum it says it is a roll over valve in gas tank and entire tank has to be replaced at a cost of around 800. 00 to 1000. 00 dollars. It also caused engine to run rough and shut off a lot. This is something Jeep should have to repair at their cost not consumers. It has been going on for about 6-8 months and it scare me each time it happens thank you.
Automatic transaxle overheating. Very dangerous to happen specially if you are in the freeway. I believe that they make this model thinking that drivers will consider not to accelerate speed in a hot climate. Car is at 75 mph in the freeway on a hot climate of 80f.
