1994 jeep grand cherokee. Consumer writes in regards to oem trailer hitch was installed two weeks before the vehicle caught fire from a gas leak after being towed. *smd prior to the fire, the consumers son had the vehicle towed to a repair shop, because there was a strong gas odor and evidence of a leak around the fuel pressure regulator, that was installed a year prior. *jb
1994 jeep grand cherokee was placed on recall list of chrysler to install trailer hitch. Recall service stated rust and corrosion level 5 unable to complete recall. I then took my car to a muffler shop and had it raised to see what was going on. I saw no extreme amount of rust that would have prevented them from performing the recall work. I asked the mechanic if they could install a trailer hitch to my car, they said for a fee. I truly believe that they did not want to complete the work, because they couldn't make any money off of it. Another thing, I want considered is the fact, that my car is at least 21 years old, so there might possibly be rust, but not to the level that would prevent them from completing the installation.
Subject: complaint - 1994 jeep grand cherokee recall n45 - rear structure reinforcement --- comments: as owner of a 1994 jeep grand cherokee being recalled for rear structure reinforcement (installation of a trailer hitch) to protect the fuel tank against leaks and fire or explosion caused by a rear end collision, please be advised that the manufacturer's response to this issue has been unacceptably slow and deficient. I have been on a waiting list for some time at the local jeep dealer who is unnecessarily delayed waiting for parts (apparently a trailer hitch) to correct this defect. The prolonged delay in the manufacturer not providing the required part(s) is dangerous, unwarranted, and unacceptable.
