What owners say
After taking vehicle to dealer to get fuel sending unit replaced, vehicle started to leak fuel when consumer would put too much fuel inside gas tank. Contacted dealer, and dealer was not willing to do anything.
When the defrost steams the windows there is a significant amount of water/moisture that enters the passenger compartment. Creates a visibility hazard, fogs all windows. Water also drains onto floorboards. Parking brake disengaging is very intermittent. Never can tell if it will hold. Relying solely on reverse gear for holding vehicle. Have ran out of gas twice with fuel gauge problem. Goes all the way up when filled, but will not go below 1/4 of a tank. Consistent problem. Shifting into first often requires first shifting into fifth then back to 1st in order to engage. Oh, forgot to mention, passenger side door will not unlock, intermittent also.
While driving about 55 MPH the vehicle stalled because the fuel won't get to engine, and sometime the gas gauge shows a quater of tank when the tank is empty.
Gas gauge failed.
Auto leaks gas from gas tank. *ak consumer states he was advised by dealer that fuel tank is collasping, they said it was a problem jeeps have had because of the plastic fuel tanks put in them, when the tank collaspes, it breaks the fuel sending unit consumer has had this repaired under recall but still seems to be leaking .
Fuel sending unit failed, causing fuel pump to burn out prior to recall (94v106).
