Crash Related Fuel Tank Fires
ODI has completed an extensive analysis of rear crash fuel tank system integrity data for the subject Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Liberty vehicles (SVs).As of June 2013, ODI knew of 56 post-collision fatal fires, 28 non-fatal fires, and 6 fuel leak incidents (totaling 90 incidents, 75 fatalities and 58 injuries) involving the SVs.Based on this analysis, ODI issued a Recall Request Letter (RRL) on June 3, 2013 requesting that Chrysler recall the Grand Cherokee and Liberty vehicles due to the rate of fatal, non-fatal fire, and fuel leak incidents when compared to peer vehicles (compact and medium SUVs) built during the same time period.In the RRL, ODI described how the location of the aft-mounted fuel tank made the SVs vulnerable to rear impact crash fuel tank failures.During the analysis, besides the high speed/high severity crashes present in both the SV and peer vehicles, ODI observed a significant number of low and moderate speed rear impact crash related fires and leaks, particularly in the Liberty.The data also demonstrated that SVs originally equipped with towing hitch receivers (trailer hitches) appeared to be under-represented in rear-impact related fuel tank failures.In the RRL, ODI requested that Chrysler provide its response by June 18, 2013, otherwise the federal safety agency might proceed to an Initial Decision that the SVs contain a safety-related defect.Chrysler responded to the RRL on June 4, 2013 and vigorously disputed the tentative findings of the RRL.Among other things, Chrysler argued that the SVs had an overall safety record superior to their peers, met or exceeded all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) and only experienced fires in severe high energy rear impacts.Nonetheless, while continuing to maintain that the SVs did not contain a safety-related defect, Chrysler proposed a recall (13V‑252) of approximately 2.5M (1.6M currently registered) model year (MY) 1993 - 1998 Grand Cherokee (ZJ) and MY 2002-2007 Liberty (KJ) vehicles on June 18, 2013.The recall remedy submitted by Chrysler would employ a hitch receiver assembly consisting of a steel cross-member behind the fuel tank with forward-projecting arms bolted to the frame rails on either side of the fuel tank.For the MY 1999 - 2004 Grand Cherokee, Chrysler indicated it would conduct a customer satisfaction campaign and inspect vehicles equipped with aftermarket tow hitch receivers, and if necessary, replace any such hitch receivers whose conditionmay increase the risk of fuel system failure in rear crashes.Examination of the available data established that the MY 1999 - 2004 Grand Cherokee did not pose the same magnitude of safety risk as the MY 1993 - 1998 Grand Cherokee and MY 2002-2007 Liberty, particularly in low and moderate speed rear impacts.Because the agency has concluded that the vehicles do not present an unreasonable risk to safety, ODI is closing its investigation of the MY 1999 - 2004 Grand Cherokee.Although it was not within the scope of the Petition initiating this investigation or the Preliminary Evaluation preceding this EA, ODI also examined the performance of the MY 1993 - 2001 Cherokee as part of this investigation.the federal safety agency's assessment of the available data for the Cherokee did not establish an unreasonable risk in comparison to peer vehicles.ODI does not approve proposed defect remedies.While offering to install hitch receiver assemblies on the MY 1993-1998 Grand Cherokees and 2002-2007 Liberty, Chrysler did not, in ODI's view, provide enough evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed remedy in rear impacts.The Complete Summary for this Closing Resume (EA12-005) can be seen by

What 1994 Jeep Cherokee owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
After receiving the safety recall notice of the affected parts on my jeep, I contacted the manufacturer where I was told that I would be given a call back when the specific part came in. 3 months past and I received no call so I decided to call again and yet have to get a call back from the manufacturer. I would hope that if it was important enough to send me a recall notice it would be important enough to get the issue fixed.
Last year the nhtb issued a recall for the 1994 jeep grand cherokee's issue with the gas tank placement. It was stated each effected jeep would receive a notification from chrysler to install a trailer hitch in the back of the vehicle to prevent the gas tank from erupting. Each time I call chrysler/jeep at the 1-800 number, I receive "the parts are on order as well as there is a shortage of parts". This has gone on for 11 months now with no resolution in site. How long is chrysler allowed to put off installing the trailer hitches on the vehicles? I purchased a new wrangler in april 14 without a trailer hitch and requested one be put on and within a month the dealership installed the hitch. So is there really a shortage? I drive the grand cherokee to work every day and would like to have the trailer hitch installed as soon as possible.it has been almost 12 months since the recall and I would like to have resolution now. Please let me how this issue is going to proceed and be resolved.
For at least a year now they have been trying to have you recall jeep grand cherokees years 1993-2004. They say there have been at least 64 deaths due to this defect. Just yesterday, a family of 4 was out on a drive when they were rearended. The jeep burst into flames. The papers and news channels say the gas tank was in the wrong place and it just couldn't be stopped. The entire family, two children, ages 4 and 11, and the parents were killed in this accident. I myself drive a 2004 jeep grand cherokee and have had it checked out and my gas tank is in the back of the rear axle and not in front of it. I have 2 children, ages 7 and 12. Please look into this matter and correct it as soon as possible. This is taking more and more lives and it doesn't have to be this way. Recall the jeeps and make chrysler fix there mess up.
Fuel tank had hole burnt in it by leaky exhaust pip. Exhaust pipe close to fuel tank.
Transmission: no prior problem. Total failure without warning required total rebuilt including overdrive gears. Fuel pump: intermittent stall issue over past 9 months. Engine stalls occurred without warning anywhere from idle to 70 MPH. Appears problem occurs due to plastic fuel tank (?).
Prior to recall 99v34, the vehicle experienced rotor problems, the consumer feels that she should be reimbursed for the repairs that were done prior to the recall including a fuel pump that went bad due to the vehicle not being driven because of the faulty rotors.
Sudden acceleration caused accident.
Fuel lines quick connections opened while driving. Tt
When vehicle is parked gas fumes come from fuel tank. Tt
