Vehicle stalls out after filling gas tank with fuel. It stalls while idling in park and it stalls while driving in traffic and when stopped with foot on the brake. After rome online searching, the problem seems to be the vapor/liquid separator valve in the top of the fuel tank not stopping the charcoal filter from being flooded with fuel.

My subframe has completely rotted out. My local dealer informed me it is out of warranty. I see thousands of people have the same issue which is why you extended the warranty but nobody informed us about it! The design of this model is flawed; the parts are inferior for a snowbelt state and to top it off the exhaust from the air conditioner leaks directly on the front subframe. 3 separate mechanics have told me this should not have happened; i should not have to pay for parts you know are no good. Please tell me you are going to stand behind your products! We own a company and have several jeep vehicles but if this is not fixed we will be trading them all in and will move to another vendor who will stand behind their products and wants to keep their customers safe! Even the local dealer said this was ridiculous and that you should be doing a recall on this!
