1997 Jeep Wrangler Fuel System Other Problems

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A FAULTY READING. THE GAUGE INDICATED A QUARTER TANK OF FUEL WAS AVAILABLE HOWEVER THE VEHICLE HAD RAN OUT OF FUEL. THE FUEL GAUGE COMPLETELY FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE SERVICE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED.

I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD MY JEEP WAS NOT MADE ON THE RIGHT DATE UNDER THE RECALL. I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE GAGE/SENDING UNIT FOR THE LAST (ALMOST) THREE YEARS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY JEEP IS NOT COVERED WHEN SO MANY MORE ARE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY GAGE SOMETIMES DOES NOT SHOW EMPTY WHEN IT IS AND SOMETIMES SHOWES EMPTY 100 MILES INTO THE FULL TANK. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVAL OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND SOME OF THEM HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. YET, THE DEALERSHIPS SAY EVEN THOUGH SOME JEEPS ARE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL OTHERS ARE NOT. CRAZY!

THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED. THE CONSUMER HAD COME ACROSS SOME INFORMATION RELATING TO A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL, HOWEVER, HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO THE VIN. *JB *SCC

MY FUEL GAUGE SHOWS 1/4 TANK WHEN EMPTY- THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL IN '98 (NHTSA # 97V194003 & TSB # 755) FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR MY YEAR VEHICLE. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ALSO THE MANUFACTURER, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE- IF IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM FOR OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR, AND I HAVE THE PROBLEM (OBVIOUSLY), THENI DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL- THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO REPORT THIS. *AK
