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.

**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.

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 tank was replaced mid July of 1999. After that date, the "check engine" light appeared. Service department claimed that the oxygen sensor was bad and replacing the part would fix the problem. The following day, the "check engine" light appeared again. Dealership was notified, but the service department was too busy to service us in the next few days. We went down to orlando fl, where we purchased the vehicle, and they saw the car immediately. The service department's diagnosis was the same as the dealership in jacksonville, fl. Oxygen sensor was reported as bad and replaced a second time in less than a week's period. The following day, on the way back to jacksonville from orlando, the "check engine" light appeared again and the dealership was notified in jacksonville. We are scheduled to have the car service again to correct the problem. Furthermore, the car is now running rough; indicating that the light is not just a malfunction, put a potentionally serious problem.

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.
