Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The part of factory installed gas tank skid plate broke. The piece underneath the tank back part fell to the ground while the forward part remained attached. If I was backing up, the plate could have caught on the ground forcing plate into the gas tank spilling gas and possibly causing a fire from the friction or hot exhaust . At the time I was just pulling out a gas station when I heard a scraping noise. I pulled to the curb and looked under the car and saw the plate hanging there. If I had backed up I could have easily ruptured the gas tank and cause a fire. This plate is attached to the main skid plate by welds and is a very heavy gage and will not bend easily. What would happen if the front of the plate fell while I was traveling down the highway at highway speeds?.

I have owned my Jeep for 3 yrs now and its has been a wonderful vehicle but last yr I noticed the gas tank cover starting to hang down. Now there is a big piece about to fall off and the tank is completly exposed. I have read a lot about this issue and am not sure what is going on. It seems that I may be able to have a hitch installed and maybe not. It seems there is a huge issue with this and is my tank going to just fall down one day. Also why cannot any one get the air bag restraint module for the recall of my vehicle. What good is having a recall if they can drag their feet. I just would appreciate some info and help to get my car fixed. Thank you.

Takata recall - had my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee in for the recall in January 2018. They fixed airbag recall and problem seatbelt light constantly being on even when driver is correctly seatbelted in- the light stays on. Now, it is August 27, 2018 and both air bag light and seat belt light are back on. Also, the fuel tank skid plate is completely rusted through. This leaves the gas tank fully exposed, leaving you susceptible to any number of possible scenarios where the fuel tank could ignite, especially if one was to be rear ended by another vehicle. It is not protected by "solution" to replace the tow bar package. I know serveral other people with the same vehicle and fuel tank skid plate rusting through completely. This combination of the takata airbags deploying unexpectedly along with the exposed fuel tank, & truly endangers the lives of the driver, all occupants and potentially anyone else in the vicinity, if one or both we're to explode. Potentially caused me lose of life to those involved.

Fuel tank skid plate/ protective seal rusting excessively in the last 2 months. Now has hole in shield. Vehicle mobile noticed while it was on my lift at the shop.

Complaint is about recalls being painful and fca not seeming like it wants to perform them: r60: parts are still not available though we got a notice labeled "important safety recall" months ago. According to our dealer parts are still not available. Apparently this is for an airbag issue but it does not seem that fca is making "every effort to obtain these parts as quickly as possible" as is stated on the recall notice. N47: I have called our local dealer a few times and they refuse to look at it saying that since we don't have an aftermarket trailer hitch that our vehicle is not eligible for any remedy for the exploding gas tanks. Is our vehicle safe to drive???.

Why are some 1993-2004 Jeeps getting recalled do to fires from rear accidents, when all have the same placement of the gas tank behind the rear axle. For less than two hundred dollars for a corective hitch I am not willing to put my family at risk and because I will not nor will I ask others to jeopardize their livelihoods. Please understand my Jeep has been good to me and I to it as it is in great shape, but I do feel a need to express my concerns to all till this matter is settled.

Why isn't my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee been recalled about the rear gas tank?there are hazards concerns about getting rear ended. I thought it was a recall.

I was under the impression that the 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee was being recalled for gas tank correction due to the lower part of the tank being exposed to rear impact. When I contacted the dealer, ciconni Chrysler Jeep, they said my car was left out of the recall. This vehicle does not have a trailer hitch. Can you advise me on this matter?.

Gas tank completely exposed for rear end colision.

My wife was backing up in our drive way she did not see my sons Honda civic behind her very poor vision from being so high factory settings. She ripped the gas tank open. A few years later she was rear ended and again the tank ripped open we were lucky both times no fire. Then we have had death wobble every Jeep suffer,s from it at some time in it,s life as per the dealer. I replaced every steering part in the front end after 40,000 miles again it happened to me at 55mph on the highway I came so close to it rolling it over it took me more than a month to get back in it. The design of the rear is just an accident waiting to happen the rear is the same as a ramp to drive up. I am far from a rich man this product cost me close to 40,grand. I truly thought we could get a few cost free miles. I am disabled I live on a fixed income. Now my investment is worthless. I was a driver for a living and have driven more than a thousand cars and have never experienced this with any other car help help help please [xxx] p. S I service my cars like clockwork! I try to fix things before they break. . This Jeep has me beat! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Had contact Chrysler corp and they said they will not fix it. They were to put on a trailer hitch to cover it from impact from the tank to explode. It was a recall now asking you to see what I can do.
