Re: important safety recall: N46/ NHTSA 13V-252 the fuel tank on my vehicle has a chance of experiencing a fuel leak during rear end collisions. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can cause an underbody fire & death!! {Chrysler words} this recall was initiated July 2013, here it is Nov 2014 & the recall was just completed, because when they issued the recall, it took them a 18 months to finally get the parts, & they still didn't have the parts, we had to go back a 2nd time, because when they ran out of parts, they forgot to let us know, yet they [motorworld of wilkes barre], sent us an email to bring our Jeep in. A complete waste of time. They did give us 6 gal of gas for a wasted trip, cost of cancelling my golf outing, priceless$$$. the existence of a minimum standard does not require N.H.T.S.a. to ignore deadly problems, ' the Agency said. In its letter to Chrysler, the Agency cited 32 rear-impact collisions that caused fatal fires resulting in 44 deaths in Jeep Grand Cherokee, and five accidents that resulted in seven deaths in the Jeep Liberty. Chrysler's idea for the limited recall 'fix' is to install trailer hitches on certain model year 1992'98 Grand Cherokee and 2002'07 Liberty vehicles. One big problem: Research shows the trailer hitch is essentially useless in high-speed rear-impact crashes. As far as low-speed crashes are concerned, even Chrysler admits the hitch will only provide 'incremental improvement in the crash energy management.' To make matters worse, some of the Jeep vehicles that had already been involved in rear-impact fires already had a trailer hitch installed. Some good it did those owners. This is a class action lawsuit ready to happen
