Parking break self releases. According to chrysler the recall was done more than 10 years ago and is therefore no longer covered. How can chrysler not cover this dangerous problem. The vehicle will unexpectedly begin rolling down a slope with no warning. The break will hold for a few minutes or even longer and then release.. If this replacement part is of this faulty a design why can it not be not be replaced with a more dependable one. Is there a replacement "kit" for the recall? Furthermore I was unaware of the recall for the fuel pump/sensor gasket at top of fuel tank and the catalytic converter recall. I replaced that gasket twice without the dealer advising me of the recall. As I prepared my boat for launching the break released and began to roll backwards into the lake, nearly running me over. A narrow escape.

I parked my 1994 jeep wrangler outside my workplace at 6am the morning of 4/4/12... At 11am I finished for the day, left my jeep where it was, and went for a run around where I work. At 11:27am my office manager called my cellphone and begged me to come back right away "your jeep is on fire!!! Oh my god, it's gone!!! Now the woods are on fire!!!". I ran back to find 3 fire trucks, my jeep nothing but a charred shell still on fire. I spoke with my office manager, she heard an alarm (my horn had I guess melted and went off), when she ran outside she saw smoke billowing from under the hood and fire dripping from under the front (melting plastic of my dashboard). The jeep was driving itself uphill in reverse! She ran to it, trying to stop it and attempting to save my belongings from inside of it (she could not). She said there was fire shooting from under my dashboard. It drove itself all the way across the parking lot where it eventually stopped on a tree. It was completely engulfed in flames, and then exploded. (I heard the explosion as I was running through the woods trying to get back). My jeep is gone now... Nothing salvageable. I never had any electrical problems with it in the past... But after some internet searching I've found that jeeps are notorious for going up in flames.

Every time I fill up my 94 yj, gas spills out the back of it. The pump kicks off but as it kicks off it spills and I have to clean the gas running down the back of the jeep. It seems to me there's something wrong with the back pressure that kicks off the pump. I'm guessing the fuel completely fills up the tube and only when the gas hits the nozzle does it shut off. It is very difficult to fill my tank up and is also very unsafe to do so, as gas spilling out the back is a fire hazard. It seems I'm not the only jeep owner dealing with this problem. (http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f176/have-fuel-spill-problems-like-many-us-submit-complaint-force-recall-974337/) so here I am filing my complaint, I hope something will be done. Because I'm tired of being soaked in gas every time I try to fill my tank.
