Other Fuel System Tank Mounting Problems of Jeep Grand Cherokee

Emission check engine light for small evaporation emission system leak p0456 fault code. Also, fuel tank wont fill with fuel at higher nozzle flow rates. . . Possibly due to tank check valve. The check engine light will disqualify the emission test for the vehicle and prevent obtaining a licence plate renewal. The check valve will only allow a slow fill using a manual grasp of the nozzle lever to restrict the flow to the smallest amount possible. This appears to be a common problem and needs a recall the refill is of course, is done in park, at a gas station. The check engine light occurs at startup.

Rear corners of the fuel tank corrode due to design of tank and tank mount, tank protection armour. Dirt, moisture, mud, road salt, etc get trapped in between steel tank and steel cradle and tank corrodes. This causes pin holes in the tank, and eventually larger holes, or larger areas of weak corroded metal.

This is a complaint regarding Chrysler recall campaign n45 in connection with a safety issue related to the fuel tank in Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. Chrysler has communicated with me twice since July 2013 indicating that my 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee is subject to a safety recall. The most recent communication is an official safety recall notice. The Chrysler dealer has no information about this recall and therefore will not schedule any remedial action to comply with the recall notice. The Chrysler group recall assistance center places the blame on NHTSA holding up approval on a problem mitigation plan. No date for resolution could be provided. My complaint is that Chrysler has taken an inordinate and unreasonable amount of time to provide a mitigation plan for a problem that they characterize as "sincerely concerned about your safety". Chrysler and NHTSA came to an arrangement in June 2013 that a recall was required. It is unacceptable that over 8 month later, there is still no resolution. Please advise.

On January 18th 2014 I was parked on the side of the road. The roads were somewhat icy and my Jeep was rear ended by a 2005 Hyundai santa fe. The damage sustained to the Jeep included a bent bumper and bent frame, resulting in the frame being pushed up against the fuel tank, causing the fuel pump to become faulty and a slight amount of fuel to leak out from the top. There is a current recall on this model year Grand Cherokee due to a potential fire being caused from rear-end collisions from the gas tank; however I did not become aware of the recall until after the accident occurred. Chrysler's poor handling of the recall and their poor notification system made it so that the Jeep was not able to be properly repaired. Now, because of the damage, the recall fix will not be allowed to happen because the rear bumper and frame received damage. The vehicle, as of now, has yet to be repaired. I contacted Chrysler with this issue and they indicated to me that there is no proof the damage could have been prevented, if the recall fix had happened. I would like to get the vehicle fixed, however finances prevent it from doing so. Because of this, the recall fix will not be able to happen. I feel as though if Chrysler better handled this recall and made the fix available prior to 2014, the damage sustained to my Jeep would have not occurred.

The fuel tank skid frame supporting the fuel tank has rusted through. This part is designed to hold the fuel tank with no other means of support. Once this fails the fuel tank dislodges and has the potential to separate from the vehicle. This vehicle is being investigated by NHTSA and Chrysler has recently stated that the skid frame provides protection for the plastic fuel tank mounted behind the rear axle. It fails prematurely due to its inadequate thickness and water/salt catching design. There is no way to prevent the corrosion and perform maintenance without removing the skid frame/fuel tank . A recall to install a thicker gage metal corrosion resistent skid frames is needed. Many 1999-2004 Grand Cherokee Jeeps are vulnerable as their skid frame supporting fuel tank decay. Many reports of people who have the wj Jeeps are having this problem per the internet/Jeep forums.
