NHTSA has conducted extensive analysis of the data regarding fuel tank integrity for the model year (MY) 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee (JGC). As a result of that work, the agency has decided to upgrade its safety defect investigation to an Engineering Analysis and to expand the scope of vehicles included in the investigation. NHTSA's assessment of the data collected during this investigation indicates that rear-impact-related tank failures and vehicle fires are more prevalent in the JGC than in the non-Jeep peer vehicles. In addition, the agency's analysis of its FARS data for the peer …

In a letter dated October 2, 2009, the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) petitioned NHTSA to open a defect investigation and recall model year 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees.CAS alleged that the subject vehicles have defective fuel tank storage systems that present a fire hazard in crashes. CAS alleged that the plastic fuel tank's placement behind the rear axle and below the rear bumper, and the lack of adequate shielding, make it more vulnerable to rupture or leakage from a rear-impact by another vehicle (including damage from other components located on the Grand Cherokee), or in the case of …

The contact owns a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power, prompting her to attempt to stop the vehicle. After which, with the brake pedal depressed all the way to the floorboard, the vehicle failed to stop, only coming to a complete stop after going off the road into a drainage ditch and rolling over on its roof. The air bags did not deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed from the scene but not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. A police report was not filed. No injuries were reported. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 250,000.

THE HORN ON MY 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STOPPED WORKING A YEAR AGO, AFFECTING MY ABILITY TO WARN OTHERS OF SAFETY ISSUES. MECHANICS TELL ME THE HORN "BUTTON" IS EMBEDDED IN THE SAFETY AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND CAN ONLY BE FIXED BY REPLACING THE ENTIRE, COSTLY AIRBAG. THAT CAN BE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. I BELIEVE THAT HORN SWITCH REPLACEMENT SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPLACE THE SWITCH , WHICH REQUIRED REPLACING THE AIR BAG. OR, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO ADD A SUPPLEMENTAL SWITCH ON THE DASH TO CONTROL THE HORN.

ECM HAS A FAULT CIRCUIT BOARD PER DEALER AND NEEDS REPLACING . CAUSES COMPLETER POWER FAILURE AND ENGINE WILL QUIT RUNNING , ALL ELECTRICAL GOES OUT -- NO LIGHTS AT NIGHT OR EMERGENCY FLASHERS -- AND POWER BRAKES FAIL TO WORK . THIS HAPPENS AT ANY TIME , STOPPED OR ON THE ROAD .

VEHICLE WILL STALL AT TIME WHEN JUST DRIVING ALONG ON CITY STREETS

WIRING HARNESS LOST CONNECTION TO GROUND FOR THE PCM. GROUND WOULD NOT ALLOW FUEL PUMP TO WORK PROPERLY WITHOUT MAJOR WORK TO THE WIRING HARNESS.

VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING . CAR CAN BE GOING 70 AND STALL OR JUST FAIL TO MOVE WHILE STILL RUNNING THEN STALL. THIS WILL HAPPEN RANDOMLY AND SOMETIMES WILL RESULT IN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH THEN GOES OUT AGAIN AND THE CAR WILL RUN FINE FOR DAYS THEN HAPPEN AGAIN.

THE COOLANT SENSOR BAD IS CONSTANTLY ON. CHANGED THAT . WENT OUT ON AND OFF. THEN ABOUT A MONTH LATER MY RADIATOR BLEW APART AT THE SEAM SIDE WITHOUT ANY INDICATION. NO WARNING LIGHT .NO CHANGE IN COOLANT TEMP. AND THE COOLANT LEVEL WAS CHECKED RIGHT BEFORE I LEFT THAT DAY! HAD TO REPLACE RADIATOR AT THIS POINT

ENGINE STALLS WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE

THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SHORTS OUT AND CAUSES AN ONSET OF PROBLEMS FROM WRONG AIR/FUEL RATIO TO SHUTTING OFF CAR POWER WHILE IN DRIVE AND/OR STATIONARY. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON ME GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT A CONSTANT SPEED, THEN SUDDENLY I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND WAS NEARLY HIT BY AN 18-WHEELER. THIS SHORT IN THE ECM EVEN CAUSED BACKFIRE IN MY MUFFLER AND FLOODED MUFFLER WITH GAS. I HAVE BECOME AWARE OF THIS ON MANY JEEPS FROM 1993-1997. WAS THIS A RECALL AT ONE POINT? ALSO, THE VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER DOES NOT WORK, THIS ALSO IS COMMON. ADDITIONALLY, THE EVAP CANISTER FITTINGS HAVE JUST DETERIORATED, CAUSING THE HOSES TO NOT GET A SECURE CONNECTION AND IMPROPER EMISSIONS.

MY DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT ADDRESS RECALL N45 WITHOUT CHARGING ME TO FIX SOME CORROSION DAMAGE. N45 IS A SAFETY RECALL. THERE'S LITERALLY NO REASON WHY FCA SHOULDN'T PAY TO FIX THE VEHICLE TO MAKE IT SAFE AGAIN.

THEY KEEP THE JEEP FOR HOURS. LIKELY DID NOTHING TO IT UNDER THE RECALL. DIDN'T GIVE ME $100 GIFT CARD. EDMONDS VALUE OF MY CAR WITH 247,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER IS LESS THAN $1,000. EVEN IF I GOT THE EXTRA $1,000 RECALL CREDIT, IT MEANS I HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER LOW QUALITY VEHICLE FROM A BRAND I DO NOT TRUST. IN SHORT, JEEP NEEDS TO MAKE NEW PROGRAM CONTROL MODULES AVAILABLE AGAIN AND AT AFFORDABLE COST. THEY OWE SAFETY TO ALL JEEP OWNERS. SHAME ON THEM AND GOOD ON YOU FOR FINING THEM $105 MILLION. TH

IS IT COMMON FOR THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR CONTROL MODULE TO GET HOT WHEN IN USE. THE BLOWER MOTOR STOP WORKING, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THE RESISTOR THAT HAS GONE BAD, BR TESTING THE CONTINUITY STILL OK, PLUGS, WIRES OK. BUT THIS WAS WHAT I DID.

MY JEEP WAS RECALLED FOR GAS TANK PROBLEMS

DRIVING ABOUT 50MPH AND THE FRONT END FELT LIKE IT WAS COMING APART. STEERING WHEEL SHAKING BAD AND WHEELS FELT WOBBLY. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND NOTICEABLY WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE AT OR ABOVE 45MPH. WHAT SCARED ME THE MOST I WAS COMING UP ON TRAFFIC AND HAD TO BRAKE. BRAKING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS WOBBLY IS VERY SCARY AND FEELS AS IF THE WHOLE THING IS COMING APART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THERE WAS A VIOLENT SHAKING AND VIBRATION THAT WAS PROGRESSING IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHO REPLACED THE FRONT BALL JOINTS AND THE FAILURE RECURRED WITH EXTREME WOBBLING AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION WAS UNSTABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL AND THEN THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE.

ON JANUARY 18TH 2014 I WAS PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ROADS WERE SOMEWHAT ICY AND MY JEEP WAS REAR ENDED BY A 2005 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. THE DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO THE JEEP INCLUDED A BENT BUMPER AND BENT FRAME, RESULTING IN THE FRAME BEING PUSHED UP AGAINST THE FUEL TANK, CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO BECOME FAULTY AND A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF FUEL TO LEAK OUT FROM THE TOP. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON THIS MODEL YEAR GRAND CHEROKEE DUE TO A POTENTIAL FIRE BEING CAUSED FROM REAR-END COLLISIONS FROM THE GAS TANK; HOWEVER I DID NOT BECOME AWARE OF THE RECALL UNTIL AFTER THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. CHRYSLER'S POOR HANDLING OF THE RECALL AND THEIR POOR NOTIFICATION SYSTEM MADE IT SO THAT THE JEEP WAS NOT ABLE TO BE PROPERLY REPAIRED. NOW, BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE, THE RECALL FIX WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN BECAUSE THE REAR BUMPER AND FRAME RECEIVED DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE, AS OF NOW, HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WITH THIS ISSUE AND THEY INDICATED TO ME THAT THERE IS NO PROOF THE DAMAGE COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED, IF THE RECALL FIX HAD HAPPENED. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE VEHICLE FIXED, HOWEVER FINANCES PREVENT IT FROM DOING SO. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE RECALL FIX WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HAPPEN. I FEEL AS THOUGH IF CHRYSLER BETTER HANDLED THIS RECALL AND MADE THE FIX AVAILABLE PRIOR TO 2014, THE DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO MY JEEP WOULD HAVE NOT OCCURRED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, I HIT A BUMP AND MY JEEP STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO MAKE IT STOP. EVERY TIME I HIT A SMALL BUMP THIS HAPPENS ONLY GOING ABOVE 55. HITTING THE BRAKES DOES NOT WORK, YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 40 TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS IS UNSAFE WHEN YOU ARE ON A HIGHWAY AND THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65 OR 70.

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED A TOTAL/VIOLENT LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL OCCURRED CAUSING VEHICLE TO SLAM INTO THE LEFT GUARD RAIL AND SPIN OUT. ANTI LOCK BRAKES HAVE ALSO GONE OUT ON THIS VEHICLE CAUSING ANOTHER ISSUE AND EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT AND HAS BEEN EXPENSIVELY REPLACED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS LEMON.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES THE GAS TANK STARTED SPRAYING GASOLINE UP THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE EXHAUST PIPE HAD MELTED A HOLE IN THE TANK AND CAUSED THE TANK TO LEAK. LUCKILY HUSBAND IS MECHANIC AND KNEW WHAT TO DO TO KEEP VEHICLE FROM CATCHING FIRE. GAS TANK AND EXHAUST WAS REPLACED BY OWNER BEFORE KNOWLEDGE OF FAULTY GAS TANK ISSUES. ALSO LATER I RECEIVED A RECALL TO INSTALL A HITCH AND DEALER SAID THEIR WERE NONE AVAILABLE. WAITED A YEAR FOR HITCH. THINK IT IS UNFAIR THAT BECAUSE I WAS PERSISTENT AND GOT RECALL FIXED THAT MY VEHICLE WILL NOT RECEIVE THE INCENTIVES THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING OFFERED. I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION OF REPLACING GAS TANK IN 2013 AND RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 02V053000 AND 13V252000 ((OEM) TRAILER HITCH) AND (SECONDARY DETENT SYSTEM/ SHIFTER ASSEMBLY); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE.

MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS BEEN SPUTTERING, STALLING WHEN STOPPED AND WHEN DRIVING, BACKFIRES BLOWN APART 2 MUFFLERS. IT WILL NOT SHOW A CHECK LIGHT OR GIVE AN ERROR CODE WHEN HOOKED UP TO A COMPUTER. HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH SAME ISSUE. HAVE DONE AS THEY HAVE AND REPLACED NEARLY EVERY SENSOR. HAVE YET TO REPLACE PCM/ECM. DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL FIX DUE TO SOME ONLINE HAVE AND STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. LIKE THE PEOPLE ONLINE I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS, NONE OF WHICH COULD DUPLICATE OR FIND A PROBLEM. SURPRISED WITH AS MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE JEEP HASN'T RESOLVED THIS. I THINK DEALERSHIPS ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ONLINE HAVE TRADED THEIR JEEPS IN AND GOTTEN VERY LITTLE TOWARDS TRADE-IN.

I DON'T KNOW THE DATE OF WHEN CHRYSLER HAD THE RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. THEY WERE GOING TO PUT ON AN (OEM) TRAILER HITCH WHERE APPROPRIATE, FREE OF CHARGE. THE PARTS REQUIRED WERE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. I BOUGHT A TRAILER HITCH AND HAD IT INSTALLED. I THEN TOOK IT TO JEFF WYLER JEEP IN FORT THOMAS KY. THEY INSPECTED IT AND PASSED IT. (PERFORM RECALL N45) I CALLED YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASKED IF I WOULD BE PAID BACK FOR THE PART, THEY SAID NO BECAUSE IT WAS NOT AN (OEM) PART. PLEASE MAKE THIS RIGHT, I HAVE NOW TAKEN OFF THE PART I BOUGHT, AND ASKING YOU TO EITHER PAY ME FOR THE PART, WHICH WAS $316.00 WITH LABOR, OR SET UP A DATE AND TIME TO A DEALER TO PUT THE RIGHT PART ON. THAT IS ALL I AM ASKING FOR, I HAVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS,AND EVERY DAY I WORRY ABOUT IT BEING SO DANGEROUS. I DON'T THINK I AM ASKING TO MUCH. I JUST WANT IT FIXED RIGHT, AND THE RIGHT PART ON. I THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. HOPE TO TALK TO YOU SOON. *TR
