I have a 1999 jeep grand cherokee limited 4.7 litre. Whenever the fuel is less than half a tank the engine stalls when taking a curve or making a turn.*ak I had to take to a ditch last week to avoid being run over by a semi when the engine cutout eliminating the chance for me to accelerate out of harms way. One local dealer acknowledges the existence of the problem - one denies they ever heard of it. A local mechanic talk show had someone with the same vehicle call in a coupld of weeks ago and they acknowledged their awareness of the problem when I called in today. A woman at chrysler headquarters last week put me on hold when I called in and when she came back she said she was reading a similar complaint. She then denied that there is any problem (because my vehicle is out of waranty). If someone has not already died as a result of this problem someone surely will. I would appreciate assistance on this matter. Thank you! Jeffrey c asplund 952‑890‑1969
1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 85, newest first, as owners wrote them.
**safety issue ** after filling the gas tank, fuel spewed out of the bottom of the vehicle, forming a puddle approximately 2 ft in diameter. Eventually it slowed to a drip. I took it to shakopee dodge to fix the leak. $374.19 later, it's fixed. I called chrysler to argue that I shouldn't have to pay for this, as it's a safety concern. They chose not to support me, and said they could do nothing.
The fuel line failed, which caused the vehicle to "putter" then stall.
Bad rotors and bad fuel pump.
The vehicle failed to start, the consumer was informed the fuel pump needed to be replaced.
After the vehicle was refueled, gas started to spill out of the tank.
The vehicle would not start; engine cranks w/o starting. Initially it would crank for long periods, ie. 20 seconds, and start. Then not at all. Took it to dealer, who was aware of service bulletin issued re: fuel delivery system, at tank fuel pump problem. Repair was made at cost of appr. $400.00. I feel this should be a recall and repair should have been made free of charge.
1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo, 6cyl. Mileage 78000. During refueling, fuel would not enter gas tank. After having one dealer look and state it needed gas filler tube which would have to be ordered. I manage to get gas in car and get home from 200 miles away. The next time I drove vehicle I notice gas leaking under the vehicle. Took to local dlr, they had to replace fuel line to gas tank and filler tube. This was a $470.00 repair. This is the 2nd time I have had a problem with the fuel tank system on this jeep. This is a vary serious situation due to fumes getting into the passenger area and the possibility of a fire from leaking fuel running underneath the car. Two other problems with this car is the transfer case leaks due to a bad o-ring(this is a 10 cent part that cost $500.00 to replace because the transfer case has to be taken apart), front wheel bearing going bad @ 78000 miles, replacement cost $400.00. Ts
Intermittent hard starting or extended cranking. Diagonois-fuel pump losing pressure due to fuel pump o-ring(fuel seal). Dt

When shifting vehicle in reverse it makes a loud noise and vehicle jerks. Dealership replaced tranfer case twice, and rebuiltd the driveshaft.*ak the vehicle would not start due to fuel pump failure. Driver side wiper blade was worn out. Rear differntial was worn, also the rotors were replaced, the fule injection was serviced cleaned the throttle body, power steering fluid was serviced,tires were rotated,pinion bearings, front axles seals replaced.

Door panel warped and splitting at bottom, dealer replaced. Vehicle hard to start in the morning time, dealer replaced faulty fuel pump.
Also had fuel pump failure in conjunction with transmission failure w/in the first year to year and a half of ownership of this vehicle. The dealer contacted chrysler, but I was not eligible for lemon law coverage. They did extend the warranty on this leased vehicle. (dealership) I have never felt safe in this vehicle, and I cannot believe that we paid $32500 for something that is only worth less than $10000 today. Chrysler should buy these vehicles back from people, but they have been unwilling to assist.
