Filed May 20, 2003 · Fuel system, Transmission · 87,864 miles · CT

Replaced fuel pump on 2/27/03 after I purchased the jeep used on 2/26/03. Replaced fuel pump again on 3/37/03 (broke down in another state). Took jeep in for transmission failure on 4/3/03. Sat in shop for 30 days while warranty company decided what to do with it. Replaced transmission. Jeep dies in traffic on 5/5/03. Called shop got runaround. Called warranty company and took to another shop. Told it was fuel pump again (warranty company didn't pay the last 550.00 to replace fuel pump) and also the gas tank is deteriorating, warranty company will not cover due to high fuel pump replacement. Also told it could be crank sensor in 4.0l engines. Not happy to pay 9000.00 for a vehicle that has only been driven 3 weeks out of 3 months. Still fighting with warranty company.

Fuel pump failure,towed to my local mechanic(not dealer).a new pump was installed and when the mechanic got it from the dealership,they said to look for algae in the tank.they did so,and there was none!I picked up the jeep and drove 40 miles only to have it stop running again.after having it towed back in again,only to find out another fuel pump had failed.the mechanic called the dealership to tell them of the second failure and to get a replacement;they told him to replace the tank along with the fuel pump because the tanks have been deteriorating and causing the fuel pump failures.the replacement tank from jeep has been redesigned and carries a new part number,thus recognizing a defect! They also admitted to changing 6 other tanks for that reason just last month!(with fuel pumps).this flaw is obvious to the dealers and they aren't going to be calling you to initiate a recall I wouldn't think;so maybe some investigation is necessary just to verify the obvious.I'm $1300.00 in the hole for an obvious manufacturers flaw.please notify me of the what has to be recall(reimbursemet). Thank you

I have had 4 rebuilt fuel pumps replaced on my 95 jeep grand cherokee since noember 4,2002 and they keep failing. There is nothing wrong with my car other than the fuel pump. The mechanic has checked the tank. I have now found out that the dealer selling the pump to the station may not cover the warranty. It sounds like this should be a recall but the dealer only wants to send me a new pump. The dealer is northeast auto outlet, grant & academy road in phila.,pa.

This report documents 2 fuel pump failures within a one year period of time. Dealer has indicated numerous fuel pump failures with jeep; manufacturer is not acknowledging product defect issue even though they can not keep the parts in stock or make available through 3rd party providers to keep up with the number of failures. I am requesting the federal safety agency to review the number of consumer complaints and request a product recall and reimburesment of expenses occurred to fix this evergrowing and potentially dangerous product failure in the jeep product line.
