#704005March 4, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED WHILE TURNING AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHICH POTENTIALLY COULD OF CAUSED A FATALITY. JEEP REPLACED THE UNIT AND WE HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM SINCE. THIS VEHICLE ALWAYS LEAKS FUEL WHEN FILLED DESPITE NOT BEING "TOPPED OFF". I WILL AWAKEN IN THE MORNING TO A PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER THE CAR. I FEEL THAT MY GARAGE MAY EXPLODE ONE DAY. THESE ARE TWO VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS RELATING SAFETY. OVERALL, THIS VEHICLE HAS POOR ATTENTION PAID TO DETAIL. I HAVE HAD MANY MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE COMPARED TO THE ENTIRE LIFE OF MY USED ACURA WITH 120,000 MILES.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
CRACK WAS FOUND ON EXHAUST MANIFOLD DURING ANNUAL SAFETY INSPECTION. THIS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT DUE TO HAZARD OF EXHAUST GAS LEAKAGE. DEALER AND CHRYSLER CORP. REP. ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THESE CRACKS ARE OCCURING. CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. INDICATED THAT CRACKS ARE OCCURING ON VEHICLES USED FOR TOWING OR OFF-ROAD USE. MY VEHICLE WAS NEVER USED FOR TOWING OR OFF-ROAD USE. THE CRACK OCCURS ABOVE THE WELD NEAR THE CONNECTION TO THE EXHAUST PIPE. THIS IS A STRESS FRACTURE DUE TO FLEXING OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND EXTREME HEAT ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS MY HUSBAND SHIFTED FROM PARK TO REVERSE, OUR NEW JEEP LURCHED OR ACCELERATED SO QUICKLY THAT THE TIRES SQUEALED AND SMOKED. WE AREN'T SURE IF IT "JUMPED" OUT OF PARK OR IF AS IT WENT INTO REVERSE IT WAS ACCELERATED OR FLOORED. I WAS THROWN FROM THE VEHICLE, SEVERE CONCUSSION, DISLOCATED JAW, ETC... MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE INSPECTED AND FIND THE VEHICLE "MECHANICALLY SOUND". WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT EVER AGAIN.
