THE FUEL RAIL PULSATION DAMPER IS LEAKING GASOLINE CREATING AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY HAZARD. THIS FUEL RAIL ASSEMBLY IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND NOT AVAILABLE. WE NEED TO ELEVATE THIS SITUATION IN ORDER TO GET A SATISFACTORY REPAIR PROCEDURE IN EFFECT. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE WAY FOR A NATIONAL DEALER TO CARE FOR THEIR VEHICLES, LEAVING THE CONSUMER TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES SEARCHING ENDLESSLY FOR A SOLUTION. THERE ARE JEEP FORUMS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE DATING BACK TO 2015.
THE 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES HAVE AN ISSUE WHERE THE INJECTORS GET REALLY HOT AND CAUSE ENGINE MISFIRE AND COULD CATCH ON FIRE DUE TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BEING RIGHT UNDERNEATH THEM. THE RECALL WAS ALREADY ISSUE FOR THESE JEEPS BY PROVIDING INSULATORS THAT ARE PUT ON THE INJECTORS AND BETWEEN ON THE INJECTORS AND THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. MY JEEP ALREADY HAD THE INSULATOR INSTALLED BUT BECAUSE THE VALVE COVER GASKET BROKE AND LEAKED OIL ALL OVER THE INSULATOR BLANKET AND SOAKED IT WITH OIL AND MADE IT A FIRE A HAZARD, I THREW IT AWAY THINKING THAT I CAN JUST BUY A NEW ONE FROM CHRYSLER. I WENT ONTO IWANTMOPAR.COM, A FCA DEALERSHIP (MCGOVERN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM ON 777 WASHINGTON ST, NEWTON, MA 02460), AND ORDERED SIX INJECTOR SHIELDS AND AN INSULATOR BLANKET TO REPLACE THE ONE THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY ON MY JEEP. THREE WEEK PASSED AND I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THEM REFUSING TO SELL ME THE RECALL PARTS, STATING THAT MY JEEP HAD THESE PARTS ALREADY. HOW CAN A DEALERSHIP REFUSE TO SELL ME PARTS THAT MAKE MY JEEP SAFE AND COMPLIANT WITH FEDERAL LAWS? THANKS

I AM CONCERNED THAT MY AFTER MARKET TOWING PACKAGE IS NOT UP TO CODE TO PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM A REAR END COLLISION. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY MODEL JEEP IS AT HIGH RISK FOR REAR END COLLISION FATALITIES. *TR
NOTHING HAS HAPPENED AT THIS POINT, HOWEVER I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS FUEL TANK ISSUE. I HAVE 3 SMALL CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN WHAT WOULD BE THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE SHOULD I GET RE-ENDED AND HAVE A FIRE/EXPLOSION. I THINK IT IS ABSURD THAT THEY ARE REFUSING THE RECALL OR OFFERING A FIX. I CANNOT AFFORD TO GO BUY A NEW VEHICLE AND HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED IT. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AND DEFINITELY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN UPDATE ON THIS SHOULD ONE BECOME AVAILABLE. *TR
I SEEN ON THE NEW THE GAS TANK FOR A RECALL I WOULD LIKE MY NAME PUT ON A LIST OF OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS JEEP SO WHEN RECALL COMES OUT SOMEONE WILL HAVE MY NAME TO SEND RECALL TO. I M A FIRE FIGHTER AND SEE KNOW HOW THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUE THE THANK STICKS RIGHT OUT AND THE BUMPER IS ONLY PLASTIC WITH REALLY NO SUPPORT IN FRONT AND MIN HOLDING STRAPS HOLD ON. *TR
TWICE IN LAST 8 MONTHS, ON MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, I'VE GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT W/ OBD CODE 0442 (EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM LEAK DETECTED). COULD THIS SMALL FUEL VAPOR LEAK ADD TO THE LIKELY HOOD OF A FIRE IN A REAR COLLISION? *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EVERY TIME HE REFUELED, FUEL WOULD SPEW BACK OUT FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT GASOLINE FUEL FUMES WERE EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 160,000.
MY 2001 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WILL NOT PROVIDE HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, ONLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL SHORT AND THE ENTIRE SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE RADIO WILL RESET AND START. IN ADDITION THE FUEL SYSTEM IS RELUCTANT TO PUMP FUEL TO THE ENGINE ON A COLD START. THE DEALERSHIPS ADVISED ME THAT THE CAR IS NOT BUILT TO LAST FOREVER AND THE FUEL ISSUE AND HEATING ISSUE WAS TYPICAL. THE EXPENSE HOWEVER WOULD BE EXTREME FOR THE HEATING AND FUEL ISSUES TO BE $800 TO $1200 FOR EACH REPAIR. *TR
FUEL PUMP FAILURES, FIRST ONE FAILED AT 35,000 MILES, THE SECOND AT 42,000 MILES, AND NOW THE THIRD AT 71,000 MILES. TOWING CHARGES, RENTAL CARS ETC. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WOULD ONLY QUOTE THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED-12,000MILES/OR 12 MONTHS. THIS TIME MY COST IS $724.00 FOR A NEW PUMP, $200.00 FOR RENTAL,AND $68.00 FOR TOWING. THREE FUEL PUMPS IN 71,000 MILES IS RIDICULOUS AND FRUSTRATING. NO MORE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS FOR ME. *JB
THE O-RINGS IN THE FUEL PUMP HAVE APPARENTLY FAILED ACCORDING TO HUFFINES JEEP IN PLANO, TX. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE O-RINGS SINCE 1999. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OF AN OBVIOUSLY FAULTY PART. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 65,000 MILES ON IT.*AK
