This particular model was suppose to come from the manufacturer with a plastic fuel tank. For some reason mine came with a metal fuel tank that corroded very quickly, beyond what would normally be expected for year and mileage.this corrosion LED to the failure of the original fuel pump assembly and the failure of the replacement fuel pump assembly. The aaa person who towed my vehicle mentioned that he has towed a number of jeep cherokees with the same problem.
Hearsay is that there were two other jeep cherokees being fixed for the same problem at the same time.no safety defect mentione din summary.
