Vehicle experienced failure of the recall component prior to recall notice, causing vehicle to run out of gas due to gauge failure. Mjs
The gas tank was replaced due to leakage.
Gas gauge inaccurately reads the amount of fuel in the vehicle . A recall has been issued on vehicle make/model. However, this vehicle was not included. The dealer and manufacturer have been notified.
While driving 50 MPH the truck cut off without any kind of warning. The truck was towed to the dealership. The problem was found to be with the fuel pump.the problem will be corrected under manufacturer's recall # 755. Please provide any further information.
Fuel pump.
Gas gauge. Signal switch. Door lock.
Gas gauge.
Vehicle pulls to the right. Fuel pump went out.
When gas tank is filled uo it leaks gas from the top of tank all over the place. Called a jeep dealer and was told it would take 5 to 7 working days to check it out. Owner removed the gas tank and found the fuel pump gasket had been damaged at factory upon installion of the fuel pump. Owner has corrected problem.
Second time I ran out of gas when gauge indicates other, dealer claims not recalled, I notice 3 other recalls for the same.
Fuel sending unit was replaced two times prior to recall notice (97v‑194). Mjs
Transfer case misaligned causing vibration and noise. Mjs (97v‑194)
Driving up a very steep hill at night. Car starts to buck wildly, loose power, RPM goes constantly from 300 to 2000. Seems fuel starved. Over hill, engine seems to run fine. Then on highway at 70 MPH, engine shuts itself off, twice within half hour. Dealer says computer chip and replaces, but not fixed. Then says fuel pump. Replaces. Now six weeks later, same thing happening to car. Not fuel gauge problem, as tank 3/4 full.
The fuel sending unit replaced 4 times(car stops in traffic),power steering pulley disentigrated while driving(had no steering), front and rear axles have been rebuilt or replaced 2times,transmission has been replaced,transfer case has been replaced,air conditioning condenser and hoses replaced 3times,and numerous other problems......
Fuel sending unit failed while turning at a very busy intersection. This caused the vehicle to stall which potentially could of caused a fatality. Jeep replaced the unit and we have not had a problem since. This vehicle always leaks fuel when filled despite not being "topped off". I will awaken in the morning to a puddle of gas under the car. I feel that my garage may explode one day. These are two very serious problems relating safety. Overall, this vehicle has poor attention paid to detail. I have had many more problems with this vehicle compared to the entire life of my used acura with 120,000 miles.
Gas gauge malfunctioned due to a defective fuel sending unit and pump which was recalled for the 1997 grand cherokes but this is a 1998 grand cherokee, and it is not included. Please provide further information and VIN#.
