problem #9

Jul 052006

Grand Cherokee 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 71,000 miles
I am experiencing a major problem with my vehicle, 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee overland (manufacture date 10/01). NHTSA campaign number 01V374000 clearly affects my vehicle, as I am experiencing the exact problem associated with that recall and fall within the specific dates of vehicles affected, however, daimler/Chrysler refuses to honor the recall, claiming my vehicle is unaffected. If I fill the vehicle completely (until automatic shutoff), all the fuel in the filler neck leaks to the ground. If I fill the vehicle less than full (not up to the filler neck) no leakage occurs. It is clearly the uel inlet check valve and my vehicle is clearly affected. Not only is this a safety issue (fire, or worse) which is the main concern, but also a waste of fuel (and expense) and is damaging to the environment. In speaking with the representative at daimler/Chrysler, they flatly refuse to honor the existing recall, claiming it is a warranty item, however, because the vehicle is out of warranty, I am responsible.

While driving at approximately 70mph on expressway, fuel line became detatched causing engine to fail. Fuel line failed without warning and was not a result of any mechanical damage. Failure of fuel line resulted in a large fuel spill underneath vehicle which had been driven for past 15 hours on a trip from Florida to Illinois. We had a concern that fuel spill could have ignited from heated components of the vehicle's undercarriage.
