I have previously written to you under reference #10429043, for a leaking gas tank. Chrysler has since blown me off and not addressed this recall or safety issue. I now carry two fire extinguishers in the car awaiting the impending explosion and/or fire. In addition, chrysler took my car to their bayside jeep dealership and charged me $217.75 to install clamps on (I believe) the gas line. That lasted about 6 months before the leak started again. [xxx] (no last names are given) from chrysler advised me that they would refund my $217.75, which was never done. Today, I read an article in the ny daily news that chrysler is dodging the recall by the federal safety agency on gas tank problems with many years of jeeps, which proves my point more that they are distancing themselves from their responsibilities. I would like my forever leaking gas tank finally fixed and I would like my $217.75 refunded; or they can offer me a brand new jeep as a replacement, as long as the gas tank doesn't leak. Otherwise, I would like to be fully involved in any class action law suits against chrysler. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Gas tank leaked gasoline while I was traveling on the highway. *jb the consumer had to take the vehicle back to the dealer on 4 occasions. The fuel sending unit and gasket tank was replaced under recall. Two days later, it was replaced again. One month later the consumer continued to smell gas and the tank and gasket was replaced again. The consumer stated the gas tank is still leaking. The consumer received an e-mail stating the crack on the tank had been there for some time and was not a result of it being damaged by the technician. The consumer was told the problem she was experiencing was not the same as the recall. Updated 04/12/07
Gas tank came loose at seams, and tank leaked gasoline all over the ground. *ak consumer states after further investigating the fuel tank, it was not leaking at the seams, there seems to be a crack on the right lower side of the tank, consumer replaced the tank with the same type of plastic.
Fuel tank is plastic which has collapsed inward, impacting fuel sending unit and fuel pump. This modle vehicle has a recall item # 624 for fuel tank gasket due to fuel leaks, but does not resolve tank failure.
