1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Fuel System, Gasoline Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V252000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE). THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS FOR CHRYSLER'S BUY BACK PROGRAM DUE TO THE MANUFACTURER'S REFUSAL. THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT COMPLETE THE BUY BACK PROGRAM DUE TO THE CAMPAIGN'S EXPIRATION. THE CONTACT WAS NOT PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER FROM THE VARIOUS REPRESENTATIVES WITH WHICH HE SPOKE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORTATION TO WORK AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES AS THE TIMING BELT HAS APPARENT ISSUES THAT MAKE THE MAIN COMPUTER READ IT WRONG FROM WHAT I AM UNDERSTANDING. THE VEHICLE WANTS TO SHUT OFF AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THEN KICKS BACK INTO GEAR. IT SEEMS TO DRIVE BETTER ON A MAIN STRETCH, YET FALTERS AT SLOWING TO A STOP. IT IS AT THE MANUFACTURE NOW AND HAS RECALLS, YET THIS WAS NOT ON THE LIST OF REPAIRS. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE IT IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITHOUT ME HAVING TO PAY A SERVICE BILL FOR THE AMOUNT THEY ARE WANTING TO CHARGE ME FOR REPAIRS. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE FIXED. THEY MENTIONED THE TIMING BELT AND CRANK SHAFT. IM NO MECHANIC, HOWEVER, THESE ISSUES COULD CAUSE ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED. I FEEL IT IS THE MANUFACTURERS OBLIGATION TO SAFETY TO HELP ME TO HAVE THE ISSUES CORRECTED. I HAD TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE DRIVE IT TO THE SHOP FOR ME WITH ME AS PASSENGER. VERY SCARY RIDE. *TR

I WENT IN TO HAVE THE RECALL OF MY 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DONE THIS MORNING (SAFETY RECALL N45/NHTSA 13V-252 REAR STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT), AND THE JEEP DEALER REFUSED TO INSTALL THE TRAILER HITCH PER THE RECALL SPECIFICATIONS. THEY SAID THAT IT LOOKED FINE AND PUT A STICKER ON IT AFTER MAKING ME WAIT FOR 2 HOURS. THIS, EVEN THOUGH THE AFTERMARKET HITCH THAT IS INSTALLED ON MINE IS SO CORRODED THAT THE BALL AND ATTACHMENT POINT CANNOT BE REMOVED. WHEN I REMINDED THE DEALER OF THE FACTS, AND THAT HAVING THE HITCH STICKING OUT THAT FAR FROM THE BACK EXACERBATES THE HAZARD THAT EXISTS, HE ACTUALLY SAID "THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM". SO IT APPEARS THAT ALL OF THESE DELAYS HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN CHRYSLER ACTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS INTERNAL PLAN TO CERTIFY ALL INSTALLED TRAILER HITCHES AND NOT INSTALL NEW ONES. AND IN CASES LIKE MINE WHERE THE RISK IS EXACERBATED BY RUSTY SHARP HITCH COMPONENTS THAT MIGHT ACT AS A SPEAR TO PUNCTURE THE TANK, DEALERS COULD CARE LESS. WHEN I OBTAINED A COPY OF THE ACTUAL RECALL DOCUMENT I FOUND THAT CHRYSLER HAS CAREFULLY CRAFTED A DISINCENTIVE FOR DEALERS TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN SAY THAT ANY HITCH INSTALLED MEETS THE STANDARD. THEY GET PAID .4 HOURS FOR INSPECTING, BUT ONLY 1 HOUR FOR REMOVING A RUSTY HITCH AND INSTALLING A COMPLETELY NEW ONE, WHICH WOULD LIKELY TAKE TWO HOURS. THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE LOSING MONEY ON EVERY HITCH THEY INSTALL AND THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF MAKING HITCH WIRING WORK ON ANY OF THOSE INSTALLED. THE DEALERSHIP EVEN ADVISED ME TO TAKE MY HITCH OFF MYSELF AND COME BACK. WHAT A MONUMENTAL WASTE OF TIME - MINE AND YOURS, SINCE THEY ARE CLEARLY THUMBING THEIR NOSE AT THE LETTER AND SPIRIT OF THE NHTSA AGREEMENT. I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU ARE DOING HERE, BUT TO SAY IT'S NOT WORKING IS A PROFOUND UNDERSTATEMENT... *TR

THIS IS A COMPLAINT REGARDING CHRYSLER RECALL CAMPAIGN N45 IN CONNECTION WITH A SAFETY ISSUE RELATED TO THE FUEL TANK IN JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE VEHICLES. CHRYSLER HAS COMMUNICATED WITH ME TWICE SINCE JULY 2013 INDICATING THAT MY 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS SUBJECT TO A SAFETY RECALL. THE MOST RECENT COMMUNICATION IS AN OFFICIAL SAFETY RECALL NOTICE. THE CHRYSLER DEALER HAS NO INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THEREFORE WILL NOT SCHEDULE ANY REMEDIAL ACTION TO COMPLY WITH THE RECALL NOTICE. THE CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER PLACES THE BLAME ON NHTSA HOLDING UP APPROVAL ON A PROBLEM MITIGATION PLAN. NO DATE FOR RESOLUTION COULD BE PROVIDED. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT CHRYSLER HAS TAKEN AN INORDINATE AND UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO PROVIDE A MITIGATION PLAN FOR A PROBLEM THAT THEY CHARACTERIZE AS "SINCERELY CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR SAFETY". CHRYSLER AND NHTSA CAME TO AN ARRANGEMENT IN JUNE 2013 THAT A RECALL WAS REQUIRED. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT OVER 8 MONTH LATER, THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

I OWN A 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I JUST READ ABOUT AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING A POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANK ON THESE CARS IN THE EVENT OF A REAR END COLLISION. THIS MIGHT BE A FACTOR AND IF NOT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. THERE IS A HEAT SHIELD THAT IS ABOUT A SQUARE FOOT IN SIZE MOUNTED IN FRONT OF THE FUEL TANK THAT IS BOLTED TO THE FLOOR BOARD OF THE CAR. IT IS HELD ON WITH TWO STEEL SCREWS WITH WASHERS. SINCE STEEL AND ALUMINUM WILL REACT WHEN PLACE TOGETHER THE HOLES THROUGH THE ALUMINUM BECOME OVERSIZED AND THE SHIELDS DROP OFF. IT IS THERE FOR A REASON AND THUSLY SHOULD BE REPLACED. JEEP NO LONGER HAS A REPLACEMENT PART BECAUSE I GUESS THE PROBLEM IS SO PREVALENT THAT THEY HAVE RUN OUT OF STOCK AND ELECT NOT TO MAKE MORE OF THEM. THERE HAS TO BE VERY LARGE NUMBER OF THESE CARS STILL ON THE ROAD MISSING THIS SHIELD. JEEP SHOULD BE FORCED TO MAKE MORE OF THEM SO THE PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED. IT SHOULD BE REDESIGNED AS WELL SO IT WILL NOT BE PRONE TO FALLING OFF IN THE FUTURE. *TR

FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED. AS A RESULT: THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF, THEREFORE I CAN NOT PASS EMISSIONS TEST IN MY STATE. I AM ALSO CONSTANTLY RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THE SENDING UNIT IS NECESSARY FOR CORRECT GAUGE READINGS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT THE WORST TIME FOR ME AS A SINGLE MOTHER SUFFERING FROM JOB LOSSES IN THE STATE OF GOERGIA. THE ESTIMATES TO REPAIR THE FUEL SYSTEM HAS AVERAGED 700.00 DOLLARS I AM ALSO FILING A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION THAT SLIPS TOO. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO INTO 2ND OR 3RD GEAR WITH OUT A LOT OF EXTRA EFFORT. THERE ARE TIMES I HAVE TO TAKE BACK ROADS AND ACCESS ROADS JUST BECAUSE I WAS NEARLY HIT SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO ACCESS THE EXPRESS WAY. SUV'S ARE HORRENDOUS IN GAS MILEAGE BUT A SUV WITH A SLIPPING TRANSMISSION IS BURNING EVEN MORE GAS! I AM STILL TRYING TO PAY FOR THE CAR AND CAN NOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS.

MY 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE RAN OUT OF GAS ALTHOUGH THE GAUGE CLEARLY SHOWED NEARLY A HALF TANK OF FUEL. THE CAR STALLED GOING APPROX. 40MPH BUT I WAS ABLE TO WRESTLE IT SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. AFTER MANY HOURS THE POLICE CAME AND ORDERED A FLAT BED TOW TRUCK. I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS FULLERTON FORD/JEEP IN BRIDGEWATER N.J. ON RT 22. WHAT TROUBLED ME SO MUCH WAS NOT THAT A PART WAS BAD BUT THAT THE SERVICE MGR. KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITHOUT TAKING THE CAR OFF THE FLAT-BED OR LOOKING AT IT! HE TOLD ME TO HAVE THE TOW-TRUCK DRIVER TO TOW IT TO THE GAS STATION AND IT WOULD START , FOR ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. WHICH THEY DID. ( THE CAR DID START WHEN I PUT GAS IN IT ) CHRYSLER CLAIMS THAT THEIR IS NO RECALL ON MY YEAR AND THAT THE "TECHNICIAN" IS JUST VERY GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES. NO ONE CAN TELL WHAT CAUSES A MOVING CAR TO STALL AND NOT RE-START FROM 100 FT AWAY UNLESS THERE IS A PROBLEM SPECIFIC TO THAT VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND THE '97 DID HAVE A RECALL. DID THEY EVER STOP USING THE SAME PART OR DID THEY USE UP WHAT THEY HAD LEFT? AND THEN CHANGE. CHRYSLER WON'T EVEN PAY MY TOWING CHARGE FOR WHICH I AM SUING.PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS. THEY ARE ARROGANT AND RUDE AT CHRYSLER AND THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM. THEY KNOW THIS IS WRONG AND ARE DOING NOTHING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED HELP. *AK

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE FUEL GAUGE READ THAT THERE WAS 1/4 TANK GAS LEFT, YET THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED TO A STOP BECAUSE IT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF GAS. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE, 5 MILES FROM THE NEXT GAS STATION. THE WARNING SIGNAL ON THE DASH WAS NEVER ACTIVATED AND I WAS GIVEN NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT I WAS RUNNING DANGEROUSLY LOW ON FUEL. AS WELL, THE TRIP COMPUTER READ THAT I HAD AT LEAST 80 MILES TO GO BEFORE I WOULD BE OUT OF FUEL. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP(GALLOWAY MOTORS) TO INQUIRE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS REGARDING FUEL GAUGE FAILURES, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NONE AND I WOULD BE EXPECTED TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS. *AK

DEALERSHIP SAID THESE DEFECTS WERE NOT COVERED FUEL SENDING UNIT SENDS WRONG LEVEL OF GAS IN TANK, BRAKES FAILED PULSATED FULL BRAKE JOB WAS DONE , REAR WINDSHEILD WIPER DOESN'T WORK AT TIMES. *AK

FUEL GAUGE IS SHOWING THERE IS MORE FUEL LEFT IN TANK THAN THERE ACTUALLY IS, CAUSING VEHICLE TO SHUTDOWN AND LEAVE CONSUMER STRANDED . COSNUMER CLAIMS IT IS THE SAME DEFECT AS MENTIONED IN RECALL 97V194002, BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDED 1998 MODELS. *AK

APPROX. 6 MONTHS AGO, GASOLINE LEAKED FROM TANK TO GARAGE FLOOR. FUMES ENTERED HOME. WE WERE AWAKE AND QUICKLY MOVED VEHICLE AND VENTILATED HOME, BEFORE FUMES REACHED BURNING FIREPLACE. DEALER REPLACED A PLUG AND PROMISED IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. 7/2/2000 GASOLINE LEAKED IN GARAGE WHILE FAMILY WAS SLEEPING. FUMES CONTAMINATED ENTIRE HOME. WIFE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL FOR EXPOSURE. DEALER NOW STATES THE PLASTIC TANK MISFORMED BUT WILL NOT ADVISE WHY. SERVICE MANAGER, STEVE, STATES HE HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE, BUT REFUSED TO INSTALL A METAL TANK. WE HAVE ADVISED THAT WE DO NOT WANT THE TRUCK BACK AND FEAR FOR OUR FAMILY'S SAFETY. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT DEALER. IN 1998, THIS VEHICLE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM OTHER CONSUMERS MENTIONED ON YOUR COMPLAINT PAGE. THE DEALER IS ALSO PERFORMING THE BRAKE RECALL WORK. I FEEL THIS PLASTIC GAS TANK IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, SINCE IT MISFORMED AND LEAKED ON IT'S OWN. IF THE DEALER MAKES US BRING THE TRUCK BACK HOME AND FINISH THE LEASE, WE ARE AFRAID TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE OR PUT IT IN OUR GARAGE. PLEASE HELP.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE NOTICED LOSS OF POWER, VEHICLE APPEARED AS IT WAS GOING TO STALL. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, GAVE IT GAS, AND VEHICLE JUST DIED. PUT IN GAS, DROVE IT TO THE SERVICE STATION, AND ADDED MORE GASOLINE. IT WAS READING A FULL TANK, BUT IN REALITY, IT WAS EMPTY. CONTACTED THE DEALER. *AK
