    THE PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND/OR JERK ON THE HIGHWAY AS THOUGH IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS. WE THOUGHT THAT WE MUST HAVE JUST PURCHASED SOME BAD GAS (WATER IN THE GAS TANK) SO WE REALLY DID NOT THINK THERE WAS A REAL PROBLEM. ALSO, THE DISTANCE TIL EMPTY (DTE) DIGITAL GAUGE HAS ALWAYS FLUCTUATED UP AND DOWN WITH ITS READINGS. THE PROBLEM WAS ESPECIALLY NOTED WHEN THE VEHICLE CONTAINED 1/4 OR LESS TANK OF GAS. THROUGH RESEARCH, WE FOUND THAT A FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT RECALL (#755) WAS ISSUED FOR 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BUILT THROUGH JUNE 1, 1997. OUR VEHICLE WAS BUILT JULY 1997. OUR VEHICLE, AND PROBABLY MANY MORE 1997 VEHICLES, SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE NO RECOURSE ADSENT OF A RECALL ON OUR VIN NUMBER. *AK
