Re: important safety recall: n46/ the federal safety agency 13v‑252 the fuel tank on my vehicle has a chance of experiencing a fuel leak during rear end collisions. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can cause an underbody fire & death!! {chryslers words} this recall was initiated july 2013, here it is nov 2014 & the recall was just completed, because when they issued the recall, it took them a 18 months to finally get the parts, & they still didn't have the parts, we had to go back a 2nd time, because when they ran out of parts, they forgot to let us know, yet they [motorworld of wilkes barre], sent us an email to bring our jeep in. A complete waste of time. They did give us 6 gal of gas for a wasted trip, cost of cancelling my golf outing, priceless$$$. The existence of a minimum standard does not require n.h.t.s.a. To ignore deadly problems,' the agency said. In its letter to chrysler, the agency cited 32 rear-impact collisions that caused fatal fires resulting in 44 deaths in jeep grand cherokees, and five accidents that resulted in seven deaths in the jeep liberty. Chrysler's idea for the limited recall 'fix' is to install trailer hitches on certain model year 1992'98 grand cherokees and 2002'07 liberty vehicles. One big problem: research shows the trailer hitch is essentially useless in high-speed rear-impact crashes. As far as low-speed crashes are concerned, even chrysler admits the hitch will only provide 'incremental improvement in the crash energy management.' to make matters worse, some of the jeep vehicles that had already been involved in rear-impact fires already had a trailer hitch installed. Some good it did those owners. This is a class action lawsuit ready to happen

The problem of the vehicle is : the fuel tank on the vehicle has a small chance of experiencing a fuel leak during certain type of rear end collisions. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in underbody fire. Chrysler sent safety recall to me in january 2014 and they said they intends to inspect my vehicle and install an original equipment manufacture trailer hitch where appropriate at no cost and I been waiting till mid may 2014 and finally made a call to chrysler group because I never hear anything back from them since the 1st recall notice. And I just found out that they didn't make a part yet. I don't know how long they want me to wait ? I don't think they really concern about customer safety.

The fuel tank on your vehicle has a small chance of experiencing a fuel leak during certain types of rear end collisions. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in an underbody fire. It has been almost a year that I have receive a safety recall. I have called the dealer and they told me I have to wait for chrysler to send another notice. Are they waiting for my nine year old grandchild to get killed before they send me another notice that the parts are in.

It has been almost a year since a recall was issued due to the fuel tank having a chance of experiencing a fuel leak during a rear end collision. Chrysler sent a recall letter stating that a trailer hitch would be installed to better manage crash forces in impacts. They said the parts required were currently not available. I have had no further information from them. Today I call a local jeep dealer and requested the cost of a trailer hitch and was given a price. When I told them my jeep was part of the recall and there should be no cost I was told that the recall trailer hitch is different and chrysler has not released them. I think they are just stalling - a trailer hitch is a trailer hitch, I am concerned for my safety and believe that they should be required to make the fix now.

The support straps for the fuel tank failed suddenly after making a left turn. The fuel tank contacted the road surface for a short time (1 minute) before the vehicle could be stopped. The rear corner of the tank (passenger side) was damaged to the point that fuel leaked from the tank. Both support straps were broken after the incident. The tank was approximately 1/4 full prior to the incident. Both of the support straps failed near the bottom of the fuel tank. The remaining pieces of the support straps were still fastened to the frame and the fasteners were still in place after the incident. Both support straps were severely rusted. Although we are disappointed that this incident happened, we are grateful that no one was hurt. We realize the outcome could have been a lot worse.
