FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
CHRYSLER FILE NO. 10175031. THIS ALSO RELATES TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NO. 94V106000. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE FUEL TANK GASKET CRACKED OR BROKE CAUSING FUEL AND FUEL VAPOR LEAKS WHICH IS MOST PROBABLY RELATED TO THE FUEL TANK LINING SEPARATION WHICH CHRYSLER "JUST DISCOVERED" ON MY VEHICLE. CHRYSLER HAS REJECTED MY CLAIM TO REPLACE AT NO CHARGE THE FUEL TANK IN WHICH THE LINING HAS SEPARATED. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT A MOVING PART AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN DESIGN, MANUFACTURING, OR ASSEMBLY. I ALSO REQUEST A COPY OF CHRYSLER'S FILE(S) IN THESE COMPLAINTS. I ALSO REQUEST A COPY OF ALL TECHNICAL AND SERVICE BULLETINS RELATING TO THESE COMPLAINTS AND THE GAS TANK AND FUEL SYSTEM. CHRYSLER IS ADVISED THAT I WILL NOT BE SPENDING OVER $600 TO REPLACE THIS FUEL TANK AND ANY AND ALL RESULTING DAMAGES WILL BE SQUARELY CHRYSLER'S LIABLITY. THERE IS PREMATURE RUST AND RESULTING STRUCTRUAL FAILURE CAUSED BY CHRYSLER SAVING MONEY BY NOT APPLYING A CLEAR COAT TOP COAT OVER THE PAINT ON THIS VEHICLE. THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS FOLD IN AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS AND CANNOT BE TIGHTENED.

I HAD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND IN DOING SO FOUND OUT THAT THE FRAME ON MY JEEP IS COMPETELY RUSTED THROUGH. YOU CAN PUT A JACK KNIFE THROUGH IT ANYWHERE. THIS WAS NOT FOUND UNTIL THE PROTECTION PANS UNDER THE JEEP WERE REMOVED. THIS JEEP HAS NOT BEEN USED TO 4 WHEEL OFF ROAD AT AL AND HAS BEN USED AS MY MAIN VEHICLE, WELL KEPT UP AND MAINTAINED. I BOUGHT THIS TYPE OF AUTO BECAUSE OF THE SUPPOSED REPUTATION AND BECAUSE THEY ARE A VEHICLE WHICH HOLDS UP FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I AM DISABLED AND RELY SOELY ON THIS VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT TO BE TRUSTED ON THE ROAD AT ALL. PLEASE HELP ME, THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS 1992 VEHICLE TO BE IN THIS KIND OF CONDITION. *AK
