“I have been having problems with gas fume and pressure build up for a long time. When I open the gas cap, it spews out gas fumes and gas at me. Then it runs badly if at all. I do not like this Jeep. Problem vehicle. High desert temperatures make it worse. I live in the desert.”
NHTSA complaint #10532990, filed 2013-08, 162,000 miles“On or about june or july of 2014, I travelled about 40 miles to crown motors of holland, mi to have my vehicle repaired for the gastank recall. After inspecting it, they claimed that it was unrepairable! They kept my recall notice and must have lied about it being repaired. It was not repaired because they didn't want to bother with it. To this day I let everyone know what a terrible dealer they are and I also called the 800 # and let crysler know what happened. Updated 09/09/15 updated 12/11/2015”
NHTSA complaint #10744191, filed 2015-07, 105,000 miles“The first month or so, my car would randomly die on me, whether I was stopped at a red light, or driving, regardless what speed I was going. I was able to start the car up immediately afterwards and continue like nothing happened. A few weeks later it wouldn't start at all.called mechanic, he changed the coil. Drove great for a month or so. Then it started doing the same thing. Took the Jeep to the shop. Had fuel filter, fuel pump put in. Ran good for a couple of weeks before it started all over again . Progressively got worse. …”
NHTSA complaint #10523426, filed 2013-07, 170,000 miles“My 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee has fuel line problems that know one can seem to fix. There aren't any leaks, however, it jerks and slips into a neutral state from time to time. First I began to add expensive fuel cleaners (didn't work), then I had it serviced by 3 different mechanics who all performed fuel emission cleaning. Currently, it still slips, then jerks forward with extreme force-one time causing an accident. Now the Jeep cannot stay on when it is started, it comes on and drops dead, I have to race the engine to keep it from shutting back down. …”
NHTSA complaint #10047122, filed 2003-11, 119,000 miles“94 Grand Cherokee. This will be the forth time that I have replaced the fuel pump in my Jeep. Same behavior, stalls without notice while decelerating or letting off the accelerator. If not replaced right away it will not stay started when you first start it for the day. Eventually it will not start at all. I also had to replace the driver side door hinge which came completely off the door. It was making popping noise when opening and shutting of the door. Had it check on several occasions and was told that Jeep had a problem with the doors. Eventually the door fell off. …”
