One problem related to gas tank strap has been reported for the 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The fuel tank has two structural straps to ensure the tank is safely attached to the frame. Assuming both straps are fabraciated to the same specifications both should be in, more or less, the same condition as they are located next to each and experience the same level of wear and tear. My vehicle has one strap that is in fine condition. The second strap has rusted through and no longer provides the designed support for the fuel tank. Chrysler's position is this is due to wear and tear and refused to acknowledge the disparity between the condition of each strap. Chrysler has had issues with these straps. I beleive it can be reasonably assumed that Chrysler is culpable and should replace the deteriorated strap at their cost given the risk associated with the condition. I respectfully request that the safety board present my case to Chrysler to make me whole.
