1999 Jeep Cherokee Fuel System Problems

Your fuel pump failed, preventing your vehicle from starting. Even after replacing the battery, the vehicle still wouldn't start. A mechanic diagnosed the problem as potentially defective ground wires connected to the fuel pump, which could prevent the engine from receiving fuel. The repair will likely involve inspecting and replacing the fuel pump ground wires.

I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND HEARD A STRANGE SCRAPING SOUND, WHEN I GOT HOME I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND THE GAS TANK WAS LITERALLY FALLING OFF THE CAR. THE SKIDPLATE/SUPPORT WAS ROTTED AWAY AND ONLY THE BACK PORTION OF IT WAS HOLDING THE GAS TANK UP. COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM IF I DIDN'T NOTICE THE SCRAPING SOUND AND CHECK BEFORE I DROVE IT ANYMORE.

I'M HAVING MORE PROBLEMS WITH MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM, I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED IT (2) TIMES LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON THIS. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE SITE AND THERE IS A RECALL ON IT SINCE 2002 BUT I HAVE NEVER RESEVED ANYTHING ON IT. THE RECALL SAYS TO CONTACT LOCAL DEALER ON THIS MATTER AND IT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF FOR FREE. I NEED A PAPER TO TAKE WITH ME ON THIS MATTER. IT ALSO SAYS IT COULD CATCH FIRE IF IT IS NOT TAKEN CARE OF!! CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS MATTER. I HAS GO OUT AGAIN NO FUEL AGAIN! *TR

FUEL TANK IS HELD IN PLACE BY A SKID PLATE (A.K.A. BRUSH PLATE). THE SKID PLATE HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND THE FUEL TANK IS IN DANGER OF FALLING OFF THE VEHICLE. *TR

RUSTED FUEL TANK SHIELD. *TR

WAS REMOVING REAR HITCH SO I COULD REPAINT IT AND NOTICED THAT MY GAS TANK SHIELD WAS ROTTED AND GAS WAS LEAKING ABOVE SHIELD SO I REMOVED THE ROTTED SHIELD AND FOUND LEAK.IT WAS CAUSED BY DIRT AND ROAD GRIME GETTING IN ABOVE WHERE SHIELD WAS ROTTED.THANK GOD I CAUGHT IT BEFORE SHIELD STARTED TO FALL AND SPARK AGAINST ROAD.COME TO FIND OUT THAT SHIELD IS THE ONLY THING HOLDING GAS TANK IN VEHICLE WHICH I BELIEVE IS TOTALLY A HAZARD FOR ALL GRAND CHEROKEE OWNERS FROM 1999-2004 AT LEAST.I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THIS WAS A MAJOR DEFECT IN ALL FROM 1993-2004 AND YET NO RECALLS.THERE HAVE BEEN MANY FIRES FROM THIS AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT.MINE AT PRESENT JUST SITS IN YARD AS THEY WANT 400 HUNDRED FOR SHIELD AND 400 HUNDRED OR MORE FOR TANK.ALL JUNKYARDS TELL ME THAT THEY ARE ALL ROTTED AND SO THEY HAVE NONE TO SELL.ALL JUNKYARDS TELL ME THE SAME SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO YET.I COULD SEE THIS IF MY JEEP WAS NOT ROAD WORTHY BUT THERE IS NO RUST ON IT AND IT RUNS GREAT. *JS

I WAS PARKED IN MY LOT AND A NEIGHBOR DROPPED A CIGARETTE BEHIND MY 1999 JEEP. THERE WAS UNGODLY GAS SMELL AND THE PUDDLE OF GAS THAT IS LEAKING FROM TANK IGNITED. I WAS LUCKILY ENOUGH THAT I CAUGHT IT AT THAT TIME OR IT WOULD HAVE EXPLODED. I JUST BOUGHT IT AND NEVER SMELLED GAS OR THOUGHT THE TANK WAS LEAKING. I HAD TO SPENLEAKING. IT IS GOING TO COST OVER 500 DOLLARS FOR THIS TO BE FIXED PLUS A TOW BAR. PLEASE HELP ME TO SEE IF JEEP COMPANY IS RESPONSIBLE DUE TO RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK SHIELD AND BRACKET FAILED DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 178,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 179,000.

I OWN A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO AND IN THE PAST I GUESS AROUND 6 MONTHS IT HAS BEEN PARKED BECAUSE NOONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.THE VEHICLE USED TO BE SO DEPENDABLE AND THEN ONE DAY IT WOULDN'T START AFTER I DROVE IT ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND SHUT IT OFF,BUT I COULD LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 20 TO 30 MINUTES AND IT WOULD START RIGHT UP.AFTER A FEW WEEKS I COULDN'T DRIVE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE IT WAS STALLING MORE OFTEN AND I NEVER KNEW WHEN IT WAS GONNA START OR NOT.I HAD IT PUT ON THE COMPUTER AT ADVANCE AND THEY MENTION THE NUMBER 3 NOT FIRING BUT NOONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY MY VERY DEPENDABLE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN WAS VERY DANGEROUS.PLEASE HELP ME IF U CAN,I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH NO TRANSPORTATION.I HAVE BEEN READING ENTRIES BY OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND I HAVE A LITTLE HOPE SINCE ALOT OF THEM ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THE FUEL TANK SKID FRAME SUPPORTING THE FUEL TANK HAS RUSTED THROUGH. THIS PART IS DESIGNED TO HOLD THE FUEL TANK WITH NO OTHER MEANS OF SUPPORT. ONCE THIS FAILS THE FUEL TANK DISLODGES AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA AND CHRYSLER HAS RECENTLY STATED THAT THE SKID FRAME PROVIDES PROTECTION FOR THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK MOUNTED BEHIND THE REAR AXLE. IT FAILS PREMATURELY DUE TO ITS INADEQUATE THICKNESS AND WATER/SALT CATCHING DESIGN. THERE IS NO WAY TO PREVENT THE CORROSION AND PERFORM MAINTENANCE WITHOUT REMOVING THE SKID FRAME/FUEL TANK . A RECALL TO INSTALL A THICKER GAGE METAL CORROSION RESISTANT SKID FRAMES IS NEEDED. MANY 1999-2004 GRAND CHEROKEE JEEPS ARE VULNERABLE AS THEIR SKID FRAME SUPPORTING FUEL TANK DECAY. MANY REPORTS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE WJ JEEPS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM PER THE INTERNET/JEEP FORUMS.*TR ..UPDATED 02/14/17 *BF

THE GAS TANK SKID PLATE HAS RUSTED OUT FROM UNDER THE GAS TANK, WHICH APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. IS THERE A RECALL OR OTHER INVESTIGATION? *TR

TRIED STARTING JEEP WOULDN'T STAY RUNNING KEEPS SHUTTING DOWN AFTER ABOUT 5 TO 10 SECONDS. WHEN TRY TO START AGAIN JUST CRANKS OVER AND DOESN'T START. *TR

GAS TANK SUPOORT HAS RUSTED AWAY EXPOSING THE PLASTIC GAS TANK. THIS PROBLEM IS NOW ALLOWING THE GAS TANK TO HANG BELOW THE REAR BUMPER. *TR

REAR AXLE GAS TANK

AUTO HAD 40000+ MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT FROM MY BROTHER. I HAD IT ONLY A FEW MONTHS WHEN IT STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE. IT WOULD NOT START UNTIL I SAT FOR A LITTLE WHILE. I AM CAPABLE OF OVERCOMING AUTO TROUBLE SO I DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT THIS INCIDENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC FOR MANY YEARS NOW. THEN IT BEGAN TO STALL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND SOMETIMES WOULD START AGAIN AND OTHER TIMES AFTER WAITING SEVERAL MINUTES. I REPLACED THE CRANK SENSOR, IN-TANK FUEL PUMP AND FILTER. IT RAN OKAY FOR A WHILE BUT BEGAN TO HARD START AND STALL AGAIN ABOUT 2 MOS. AGO. THEN 2 DAYS AGO IT STALLED SOMETHING LIKE 25 TIMES COMING HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERNET READING THE BLOGS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IF EVERYONE THAT HAS THIS ISSUE WOULD EMAIL YOU, YOUR COMPUTERS WOULD SHUT DOWN. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS JUST REPLACING THE EXPENSIVE PARTS AT RANDOM, TAKING THE MONEY AND NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THESE PEOPLE, MYSELF INCLUDED, ARE BEGGING FOR A SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM WITH A VERY NICE AUTOMOBILE MADE IN AMERICA BY SKILLED TOP DOLLAR UNION LABOR. IT IS GETTING CLOSE TO SCAM EPIDEMIC. MY CAR IS SITTING IN MY GARAGE NOT FIXED BECAUSE THERE ARE ABOUT TEN DIFFERENT THINGS IN THE ELECTRICAL AND FUEL SYSTEM THAT CAN CAUSE THESE SYMPTOMS. I AM A DISABLED VETERAN AND CANNOT AFFORD TO GO DOWN THAT ELIMINATING PROCESS. MY DOCTOR DOESN'T DO ME THAT WAY AND I WON'T ALLOW THE MANUFACTURER TO DO IT EITHER. *TR

I OWN A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO AND THE FUEL PUMP WENT BAD AND I COULD SMELL SMOKE, LIKE AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND I AUTHORIZED HIM TO REPAIR. I THEN LOOKED ONLINE TO FIND THAT THE FUEL PUMP WHICH MY JEEP HAD WAS A RECALLED AFTERMARKET FUEL PUMP FROM AIRTEX. I CALLED AIRTEX AND THEY GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND ASKED ME ALL SORTS OF QUESTIONS , ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE RIGHT ONE AND DID I HAVE THE PART TO SHIP BACK TO THEM. I CALLED THE MECHANIC AND HE ALREADY REPLACED IT WITH A NEW AIRTEX FUEL PUMP AND THREW THE OTHER AWAY. I HAVE THE RECEIPT BUT CANNOT SEND THE OLD FUEL PUMP BACK. THEY REFUSE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS RECALLED PRODUCT EVEN WHEN MY MECHANIC WROTE DOWN THE OLD MAKE AND MODEL NUMBER OF THE OLD RECALLED FUEL PUMP. THIS IS WRONG AND UNFAIR. $500 I AM OUT . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT ON THE INTERIOR AND AROUND THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS CONSTANT. THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,800.

JUST FINISHED REPAIRING DAUGHTER IN LAWS VEHICLE. A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. SHE COMPLAINED OF EXTREME GAS FUMES INSIDE HER VEHICLE. WITH A 1 YEAR OLD AND A 3 YEAR OLD BEING TRANSPORTED IN VEHICLE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THIS IS WHAT I FOUND. THE ORDINARY STEEL FUEL PRESSURE CONNECTER (DISCONNECT) AT TOP OF FUEL PUMP WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND SQUIRTING A STREAM OF GAS, VIA RUSTED OUT PINHOLE,UNDER PRESSURE, ALL OVER TOP OF FUEL TANK AND SURROUNDING AREA. THANK GOD NO IGNITION RESULTED,WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. CONNECTER SHOULD HAVE BEEN EITHER STAINLESS STEEL OR AT LEAST PLASTIC AT SUCH AN IMPORTANT LOCATION. PLAIN STEEL SHOULD NEVER BE USED AT SUCH AN IMPORTANT LOCATION. AS THERE ARE MANY MANY THOUSANDS OF THIS YEAR VEHICLES OUT THERE THIS IS A TICKING TIME BOMB. EVEN MY VINTAGE 1991 FORD PICKUP USED STAINLESS STEEL AT GAS TANK FITTINGS. VEHICLE IS SECOND CAR AND WAS PURCHASED A FEW YEARS AGO. BODY IS REMARKABLE RUST FREE FOR A SALTY N.Y. S, VEHICLE. AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION OTHER THAN DANGEROUS GAS TANK ISSUE. IT IS ONLY A QUESTION OF TIME BEFORE A DANGEROUS FIRE WILL OCCUR IN SOMEONE'S VEHICLE AND HOPEFULLY NO ONE WILL DIE.THIS ISSUE NEEDS ,AND MUST,BE ADDRESSED . HAVE ATTACHED PHOTO OF RUSTED DISCONNECT AND HAVE RETAINED THE RUSTED CONNECTOR. HOPE I DID NOT WASTE MY TIME WITH THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND WILL EXPECT A TIMELY REPLY[XXX] P.S. CONNECTER WAS SO SEVERELY RUSTED AND FROZEN TO FUEL PUMP OUTLET IT HAD TO SLOTTED WITH A CUTOFF WHEEL TO REMOVE- A VERY HAZARDOUS PROCEDURE.(CAN NOT ATTACH PHOTO ON THIS SITE) INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

OUR JEEP 1999 WAS HIT IN REAR END AND BURN , HURTING THE DRIVER BADLY. THE GAS TANK EXPLODED ON IMPACT. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. *TR

GAS GAUGE FAILS PERIODICALLY. SPOKE TO DEALER, AND WAS TOLD IF IT IS NOT BROKE DON'T FIX IT. TRUCK FAILED TO START 4 DAYS AGO. HAS IT TOWED TO LOCAL GARAGE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD I HAVE A MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, BUT TECH HAS NOT YET FIGURED IT OUT. JEEP ONLY HAS 52,000 MILES. NOW MIND YOU, SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS JEEP IN 1999, IT HAS ONLY BEEN TO A CERTIFIED JEEP DEALER FOR ALL SERVICES. ALL RECOMMENDED WORK HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMPLETED. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT SOMEWHERE ELSE, BECAUSE I HAD TO GET IT TOWED. *NM

FUEL SENDING UNIT WAS GIVING FALSE READINGS AND WOULD VARY AT ANY GIVEN TIME. CONDITION LASTED FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES BEFORE COMPLETE FAILURE OF SENDING UNIT. THERE ARE NO RECALLS AVAILABLE FOR THE 1999 MODEL, ONLY THE 1998. *JB

WHEN THE VEHICLE MAKES AROUND ABOUT TURNS WITH 1/2 TANK OF FUEL OR LESS IT WOULD EITHER HESITATE OR STALL INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE.*AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. IT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. DRIVER HAD TO WAIT 5 OR 6 MINUTES BEFORE VEHICLE WOULD START UP AGAIN. THE FUEL PUMP WAS CHANGED 3 TIMES. *AK

THE CONSUMER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE, UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THERE WAS AN EVAPORATION LEAK, THE LEAK WAS IN A ROLL OVER VALVE WHICH WAS APART OF THE GAS TANK. *AK THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER, THAT OVER 500 GAS TANKS WERE ON BACK ORDER. *JB

LEAKING FUEL TANK. GAS IS LEAKING FROM THE THE VENT SEAL ( WELD ) AT THE TOP OF THE TANK.THIS PART CANNOT BE REPLACED.THE TANK MUST BE REPLACED. THE JEEP DEALER SAID THERE ARE 700 TANKS BACK ORDERED ! SO THERE IS A PROBLEM THOUGH JEEP DENIES IT. ALSO THE YEAR 2000 GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME FUEL TANK. THANK YOU. *AK

WHEN FUEL TANK LEVEL IS A QUARTER OR LESS AND WHILE TURNING LEFT AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF GAS AND ENGINE SHUTS OFF. AFTER COASTING THROUGH LIGHT AND STRAIGHTING OUT LINE OF TRAVEL,SEVERAL SECONDS OF RESTART ATTEMPTS EVENTUALLY RESTART ENGINE.VEHICLE CONTINUES ON NORMALLY.*AK

I HAVE A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 4.7 LITRE. WHENEVER THE FUEL IS LESS THAN HALF A TANK THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN TAKING A CURVE OR MAKING A TURN.*AK I HAD TO TAKE TO A DITCH LAST WEEK TO AVOID BEING RUN OVER BY A SEMI WHEN THE ENGINE CUTOUT ELIMINATING THE CHANCE FOR ME TO ACCELERATE OUT OF HARMS WAY. ONE LOCAL DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES THE EXISTENCE OF THE PROBLEM - ONE DENIES THEY EVER HEARD OF IT. A LOCAL MECHANIC TALK SHOW HAD SOMEONE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE CALL IN A COUPLD OF WEEKS AGO AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THEIR AWARENESS OF THE PROBLEM WHEN I CALLED IN TODAY. A WOMAN AT CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS LAST WEEK PUT ME ON HOLD WHEN I CALLED IN AND WHEN SHE CAME BACK SHE SAID SHE WAS READING A SIMILAR COMPLAINT. SHE THEN DENIED THAT THERE IS ANY PROBLEM (BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARANTY). IF SOMEONE HAS NOT ALREADY DIED AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM SOMEONE SURELY WILL. I WOULD APPRECIATE ASSISTANCE ON THIS MATTER. THANK YOU! JEFFREY C ASPLUND 952-890-1969

**SAFETY ISSUE ** AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, FUEL SPEWED OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE, FORMING A PUDDLE APPROXIMATELY 2 FT IN DIAMETER. EVENTUALLY IT SLOWED TO A DRIP. I TOOK IT TO SHAKOPEE DODGE TO FIX THE LEAK. $374.19 LATER, IT'S FIXED. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO ARGUE THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS, AS IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN. THEY CHOSE NOT TO SUPPORT ME, AND SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING.

THE FUEL LINE FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO "PUTTER" THEN STALL. *JB

AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED, GAS STARTED TO SPILL OUT OF THE TANK.*JB

THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*JB

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START; ENGINE CRANKS W/O STARTING. INITIALLY IT WOULD CRANK FOR LONG PERIODS, IE. 20 SECONDS, AND START. THEN NOT AT ALL. TOOK IT TO DEALER, WHO WAS AWARE OF SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED RE: FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM, AT TANK FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. REPAIR WAS MADE AT COST OF APPR. $400.00. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE FREE OF CHARGE.

1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO, 6CYL. MILEAGE 78000. DURING REFUELING, FUEL WOULD NOT ENTER GAS TANK. AFTER HAVING ONE DEALER LOOK AND STATE IT NEEDED GAS FILLER TUBE WHICH WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED. I MANAGE TO GET GAS IN CAR AND GET HOME FROM 200 MILES AWAY. THE NEXT TIME I DROVE VEHICLE I NOTICE GAS LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. TOOK TO LOCAL DLR, THEY HAD TO REPLACE FUEL LINE TO GAS TANK AND FILLER TUBE. THIS WAS A $470.00 REPAIR. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK SYSTEM ON THIS JEEP. THIS IS A VARY SERIOUS SITUATION DUE TO FUMES GETTING INTO THE PASSENGER AREA AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE FROM LEAKING FUEL RUNNING UNDERNEATH THE CAR. TWO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR IS THE TRANSFER CASE LEAKS DUE TO A BAD O-RING(THIS IS A 10 CENT PART THAT COST $500.00 TO REPLACE BECAUSE THE TRANSFER CASE HAS TO BE TAKEN APART), FRONT WHEEL BEARING GOING BAD @ 78000 MILES, REPLACEMENT COST $400.00. TS

INTERMITTENT HARD STARTING OR EXTENDED CRANKING. DIAGONOIS-FUEL PUMP LOSING PRESSURE DUE TO FUEL PUMP O-RING(FUEL SEAL). DT

TRANSFER CASE FAILED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE CHECKED BY DEALER, WHO REPLACED FRONT DIFFERENTIAL BEARINGS, AND O-RINGS IN FUEL PUMP. ALSO, VEHICLE MAKES LOUD "ROARING" NOISES, AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. *AK

VEHICLE LEAKS GAS.*AK WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL, THE GASOLINE WOULD LEAK OUT UNTIL IT WAS UNDER 3/4 OF A TANK. *JG

VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND ENGINE RUNNING, EMERGENCY BRAKE NOT APPLIED. VEHICLE SUDDENLY KICKED INTO REVERSE AND TOOK OFF, 2 YOUNG CHILDREN INSIDE. VEHICLE ENDED UP IN A DITCH, NO INJURIES. DAMAGE TO VEHICLE UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME.*AK THE VEHICLE HAS LONG CRANK TIME WHEN COLD DUE TO FUEL UPMP MODULE FAILURE. THE RIGHT FRONT WINDOW MULFUNCTIONS BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. YH

PLASTIC GAS TANKS ARE WARPING AND SEPARATING FROM FUEL PUMP, CAUSING FUEL SPILLAGE. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND A FORD SEDAN REAR ENDED ME AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY WENT UP IN FLAMES. THERE WERE SEVERAL EXPLOSIONS AND THE CAR WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE UNSURANCE COMPANY. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WITH NECK AND UPPER BACK PAIN . X-RAYS WERE TAKEN AND I WAS DISCHARGED WITH CERVICAL STRAIN. I WAS REFERRED BY MY DOCTOR TO A CRISIS COUNSELOR WHOM I AM STILL ATTENDING. I HAVE NOT SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT SINCE THE INCIDENT.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

FUEL TANK IS WARPED AND HAS CAUSED FUEL TO LEAK. *AK CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT WHEN THEY REPLACED FUEL PUMP THEY DID NOT TORQUE THE SCREWS PROPERLY AND THAT CAUSED THE TANK TO WARP AND LEAK. *YD

WHILE TURNING IGNITON SWITCH VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WITHOUT SERVEL TRIES . DEALER WAS CONTACTED, AND STATED THAT FUEL SEAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

ALSO HAD FUEL PUMP FAILURE IN CONJUNCTION WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE W/IN THE FIRST YEAR TO YEAR AND A HALF OF OWNERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER CONTACTED CHRYSLER, BUT I WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR LEMON LAW COVERAGE. THEY DID EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THIS LEASED VEHICLE. (DEALERSHIP) I HAVE NEVER FELT SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE, AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT WE PAID $32500 FOR SOMETHING THAT IS ONLY WORTH LESS THAN $10000 TODAY. CHRYSLER SHOULD BUY THESE VEHICLES BACK FROM PEOPLE, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNWILLING TO ASSIST.

FUEL FREQUENTLY SPRAYS OR SPILLS OUT OF FUEL PORT DURING REFUELING. *AK

TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE ENGINE' CHECK LIGHT ON; DEALER REMOVED FUEL TANK FOUND THAT PRESSURE LINE IS SEEPING FUEL FROM AROUND IT. REPLACED FUEL PUMP MODULE; RESET 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT RETURNED VEHICLE TO ME. DATE: 04/24/01. NEXT . TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT WAS ON . DEALER RESET 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT AND SAID COULD NOT FIND SOURCE OF PROBLEM ; SAID SYSTEM CHECKED OK. RETURNED CAR TO ME. I TOOK CAR DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM DEALERSHIP TO MOBIL GAS STATION, FILLED-UP GAS TANK, AND FUEL IMMEDIATELY BEGAN LEAKING FROM CAR FROM GAS TANK AREA; CALLED DEALERSHIP BACK , THEY SENT TECHNICIAN TO GAS STATION TO DRIVE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP. NEXT DAY THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME, FUEL PUMP MODULE SEAL ON TOP OF GAS TANK WAS LEAKING; REMOVED AND REPLACED LEAKING FUEL PUMP MODULE SEAL. RETURNED CAR TO ME. DATE: 07/03/01. *AK

FUEL PUMP FAILURE, CAUSING HESITATION AND ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. *SLC

WHEN STOPPING, VEHICLE STALLS AND HESITATES AT ACCELERATION, FUEL PUMP FAILED. *SLC

THE GAS TANK WAS NOT FILLED TO "FULL," AND THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK WHICH MIGHT CAUSE A FIRE IF THERE WAS A SOURCE OF IGNITION. CURRENTLY VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER.*AK

FUEL PUMP FAILED. YH

FUEL CAP FAILED. YH

FUEL PUMP FAILED. NLM

FUEL PUMP FAILED CAUSING LOSS OF PRESSURE. *MJS

DESIGN OF FUEL DOOR COMPARTMENT ALLOWS POOLING OF EXCESS FUEL IN EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL OVERFILL.

VEHICLE HAS HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND LURCHING FORWARD AT STOPS. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO INTERMITTENTLY SLIPS AND MAKES LOUD CLUNKING NOISES WHILE DRIVING. DEALER SAYS THAT THEY DO NOT FIND A PROBLEM. DESPITE OVER 45 DAYS AT

REAR-BACK WINDOW LEAKED,RESEAL FAILED,HAD TO REMOVE WINDOW AND RESEAL, TOOK 4 DAYS. FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED CAUSING FRONT TIRES TO HOP DURING TIGHT TURNS,DIFF REPLACED TOOK 3 DAYS. WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT TRUCK LURCHES FORWARD ALMOST AS IF HIT FROM BEHIND, THIS HAPPENS 1 SOMETIMES 2 TIMES AT ONE STOPLIGHT, ENGINE REVS ALSO INCREASE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, DEALER CANNOT FIX. GAS TANK IS VERY HARD TO FILL THE PUMP STOPS BEFORE IT IS FULL AND MANY TIMES GAS SPILLS ALL OVER TRUCK AND PAVEMENT CAUSING A FIRE HAZZARD, ALSO GAS CAP IS VERY HARD TO REMOVE.

GAS SPILLS / OVERFLOWS ON PERSON AT FUELING, PUMP SHUTS OFF, WITH TANK NEAR EMPTY.

WON'T START. BAD FUEL PUMP, NATIONAL BACK ORDER. STILL HARD STARTING AFTER REPLACED.

THE CAR WAS HARD TO START AND SOMETIMES SLUGGISH AND OCCASIONALLY SURGED SUDDENLY ON ACCELARATION. THE CAR WAS KEPT FIVE DAYS , A NEW FUEL PUMP INSTALLED THAT FAILED COMPLETELY ON INSTALLATION.WITH THE NUMBER OF TBS RELATED TO ENGINE PERFORMANCE , STARTING ETC. I WOULD NOT THINK IT TOTALLY UNLIKELY THE INTEGRITY OF THE FUEL PUMP MIGHT BE RELATED TO SOME OF THOSE. THE ENGINE ACCELRATIONS WERE EXTREME AND DANGEROUS

IN EXAMING THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, I NOTICE THE LOCATIN OF THE FUEL TANK APPEARED TO MAKE IT SUBJECT TO RUPTURE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SUBJECTED TO A REAR END COLLISION, WHEN THE COLLIDING VEHICLE SUBMARINED SLIGHTLY. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING A JEEP AND WOULD LIKE YOUR OPINION. *AK

THE PLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK IS VULNERABLE TO RUPTURE IN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.

GAS TANK IS NOT EASILY FILLED, GAS NOT ALLOWED INTO VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND SPILLS OUT ONTO CONSUMER.
