1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

I'AM IN THE MIDST OF MY 4TH FUEL PUMP INSTALLED AND A FUEL TANK IN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR .

CONSUMER STATES THE THAT FUEL DISINTEGRATES THE FUEL TANK OVER TIME CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO CLOG UP. TS

CONSUMER STATES STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AFTER RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORM ON VEHICLE RECALL 95V172000 PARKING BRAKE. PLEASE PROVIDE THE DEALER NAME, ADDRESS AND NUMBER.

THE FUEL PUMP HAS FAILED ALONG WITH THE GAS TANK DETERIORATING. THIS HAS CAUSED THE JEEP TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. THE OWNER INDICATED THAT IT WOULD COST $1,000 DOLLARS NOT INCLUDING LABOR TO AT LEAST FIX THE TWO PROBLEMS. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS. TS

CONSUMER STATED THAT THE DEALER IS TAKING TO LONG TO PERFORM THE RECALL#02V053000 INADVERTENT VEHICLE MOVEMENT. JEEP LONG ISLAND CITY 718-937-3500 PLEASE PROVIDES THE ADDRESS. MR

THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE APPLIED, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF GEAR, AND CRASHED INTO AN ELECTRICAL POLE.*JB

THIS REPORT DOCUMENTS 2 FUEL PUMP FAILURES WITHIN A ONE YEAR PERIOD OF TIME. DEALER HAS INDICATED NUMEROUS FUEL PUMP FAILURES WITH JEEP; MANUFACTURER IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING PRODUCT DEFECT ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN NOT KEEP THE PARTS IN STOCK OR MAKE AVAILABLE THROUGH 3RD PARTY PROVIDERS TO KEEP UP WITH THE NUMBER OF FAILURES. I AM REQUESTING THE NHTSA TO REVIEW THE NUMBER OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND REQUEST A PRODUCT RECALL AND REIMBURESMENT OF EXPENSES OCCURRED TO FIX THIS EVERGROWING AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PRODUCT FAILURE IN THE JEEP PRODUCT LINE. DT

PLEASE NOTE: MY BROTHER IN LAW ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE JEEP FROM SAID DEALER. I IN TURN PURCHASED THE JEEP FROM HIM IN JUNE 2001. DECEMBER 8, 2002 I HAD GONE TO THE GROCERY STORE IN MY HOMETOWN OF PEARLAND, TEXAS. AFTER SHOPPING I WENT TO PUT THE GROCERIES IN THE BACK OF THE JEEP. I LIFTED THE LIFTGATE OR HATCBACK WHICHEVER THEY REFER TO IT. I THEN STARTED UNLOADING THE GROCERIES. AS I LEANED INTO THE VEHICLE TO PUT GROCERIES IN, I WAS STANDING UP AND COMING BACK OUT TO RETRIEVE MORE GROCERIES. AT THAT TIME WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE LIFTGATE JUST GAVE WAY AND IT WAS NOT A SLOW DESCEND, IT WAS AS IF THE HYDRAULICS HAD GONE OUT COMPLETELY. THEREFORE THE LIFGATE HIT ME ON THE CROWN OF MY HEAD. I WAS A LITTLE DAZED, AND I PUT MY HAND ON TOP OF MY HEAD TO FEEL FOR BIG KNOT AND WHEN I CAME DOWN WITH MY HAND IT WAS COVERED IN BLOOD. A LADY FINISHED LOADING MY GROCERIES, AND LOCKED MY VEHICLE. I WAS TAKEN INSIDE THE STORE ANY OUR CITY EMS WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE. THEY CHECKED ME OUT AND GAVE ME THE OPTION OF GOING TO THE HOSPITAL OR MY LOCAL PHYSICIAN, WHICH I CHOOSE MY DOCTOR OVER SITTING IN A WAITING ROOM FOR HOURS. UPON SEEING MY DOCTOR I WAS REQUIRED 3 STITCHES TO MY HEAD DUE TO THE INJURY. SO NOW I WILL NOT EVEN OPEN THE LIFGATE FOR FEAR I WILL BE HURT AGAIN. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO SPEND ON THE DEALERSHIP AND I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECTIN THE HYDRAULICS. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS SIGNS INDICATING SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN, AND THERE IS NOTHING IN THE MANUAL THAT TELLS YOU HYRAULICS NEED TO BE CHACKED AFTER SO MANY MILES, ETC. I WOULD LIKE JEEP TO PAY TO HAVE MY VEHICLE FEIXED AND ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FRO DOCTORS VISIT BY THEM. I THINK THIS IS ONLY FAIR. AS WELL AS LETTING OTHERS KNOW THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES AS WELL. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH AN ELDERLY OR SMALL CHILD. I CAN SAY IT SCARED ME BAD. AND I AM VERY LUCKY I WAS NOT HURT WORSE. ANY INFORMATION I CAN GET FROM YOU WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. DEALER DETERMINED THERE WAS DEBRIS IN THE FUEL TANK, BOTH TANK AND FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. TS

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND WITHOUT WARNING THE FUEL PUMP FAILED, CAUSING A DISTRACTION TO CONSUMER. DEALER NOTIFIED. TS DEALERSHIP CLEANED DIRTY FUEL TANK AND REPLACED FUEL PUMP. *TT
