FUEL PUMP FAILS DUE TO FAULTY FUEL TANK. JEEP DEALER ADMITS FAULTY TANKS IN '96 GRAND CHEROKEES, YET THERE IS NO RECALL. EXPENSIVE AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR SIMPLY SHUTS DOWN AND BECOMES INOPERABLE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND ENFORCE A RECALL ON CHRYSLER. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS! *AK

PURCHASED NEW 2004 JEEP FROM DEALER. WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING OCCASIONAL, INTERMITTENT ENGINE PROBLEMS AT START-UP-- THE ENGINE WOULD RUN VERY ROUGH, SHAKING THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE LIGHT IN THE DASH WOULD FLASH. IF DRIVEN, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL UNLESS THE ACCELERATOR WAS CONTINUALLY PRESSED. AFTER A FEW OF THESE EVENTS, WE DISCOVERED THAT, IF TURNED OFF, AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, THE ENGINE WOULD RUN NORMALLY. THE SERVICE LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ON FOR A FEW MINUTES (SOMETIMES A HALF HOUR) AND THEN TURN OFF. THIS PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY, SOMETIMES EVERY MONTH, & SOMETIMES EVERY COUPLE MONTHS, USUALLY IN THE MORNING AT FIRST STARTUP, BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I LEFT WORK IN THE EVENING TO DRIVE HOME. MY SALESMAN AND THE SERVICE MANAGER KNEW OF THE PROBLEM. JEEP DEALER LATER SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SIMPLY IN NEED OF A COMPLETE TUNE-UP. THEY DID THE TUNE UP 6 MONTHS AGO - MAY 2006. THE PROBLEM HAS RECURRED AGAIN. I TOOK THE JEEP IN AGAIN. DEALER REPORTS THAT CAR IS "RUNNING ROUGH" BUT THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. *JB
