Grand Cherokee

  • 156,000 miles
The shift cable is rubbing against the fuel line, after 156000 miles it has worn a hole in the line. During a resent vacation I noticed the smell of gas but could not tell where it was coming from. When the car was shut off it would stop leaking. After I was back I was using the car again backing up and noticed a drip drip drip on the ground. As I was only a mile from home I went home and parked and it still leaked a bit until the pressure stopped. I did not think to take a picture of the line after I removed it. I took the fuel line to a shop to have a union put in the line but that is leaking as the fitting is not tight enough. I guess I will need to buy a new line. I have not seen a report of this happening to other Jeep but it is a dangerous problem as it could have caught fire.

At left turn before incoming cars be too close turned accelerating. Half way with steering wheel harding, it shuts off. I had to put on brak and turn car on to back carefully. Turned in and stopped to check. For past year with every shut off either starts or not, I had fixed at car dealer. Huffines is the car dealer with all records.
