Ten problems related to fuel delivery have been reported for the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited 4. 7 litre. Whenever the fuel is less than half a tank the engine stalls when taking a curve or making a turn. I had to take to a ditch last week to avoid being run over by a semi when the engine cutout eliminating the chance for me to accelerate out of harms way. One local dealer acknowledges the existence of the problem - one denies they ever heard of it. A local mechanic talk show had someone with the same vehicle call in a coupld of weeks ago and they acknowledged their awareness of the problem when I called in today. A woman at Chrysler headquarters last week put me on hold when I called in and when she came back she said she was reading a similar complaint. She then denied that there is any problem (because my vehicle is out of waranty). If someone has not already died as a result of this problem someone surely will. I would appreciate assistance on this matter. Thank you! jeffrey c asplund 952-890-1969.
The vehicle would not start; engine cranks w/o starting. Initially it would crank for long periods, ie. 20 seconds, and start. Then not at all. Took it to dealer, who was aware of service bulletin issued fuel delivery system, at tank fuel pump problem. Repair was made at cost of appr. $400. 00. I feel this should be a recall and repair should have been made free of charge.
Intermittent hard starting or extended cranking. Diagonois-fuel pump losing pressure due to fuel pump o-ring(fuel seal). Dt.

Took vehicle into dealership because engine' check light on; dealer removed fuel tank found that pressure line is seeping fuel from around it. Replaced fuel pump module; reset 'check engine' light returned vehicle to me. Date: 04/24/01. Next . Took car to dealership because 'check engine' light was on . Dealer reset 'check engine' light and said could not find source of problem ; said system checked ok. Returned car to me. I took car directly across the street from dealership to mobil gas station, filled-up gas tank, and fuel immediately began leaking from car from gas tank area; called dealership back , they sent technician to gas station to drive car back to dealership. Next day they called me and told me, fuel pump module seal on top of gas tank was leaking; removed and replaced leaking fuel pump module seal. Returned car to me. Date: 07/03/01.
When the vehicle makes around about turns with 1/2 tank of fuel or less it would either hesitate or stall intermittently. Dealer was notified of this issue.

The car was hard to start and sometimes sluggish and occasionally surged suddenly on accelaration. The car was kept five days , a new fuel pump installed that failed completely on installation. With the number of tbs related to engine performance , starting etc. I would not think it totally unlikely the integrity of the fuel pump might be related to some of those. The engine accelrations were extreme and dangerous.
Won't start. Bad fuel pump, national back order. Still hard starting after replaced.
