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 collsiont fatalities.
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?.
