1997 Jeep Cherokee Fuel System Problems

Your vehicle unexpectedly stalls while driving normally on city streets. This is an intermittent problem that happens at random times. The cause could be related to your fuel system or engine, and a mechanic will need to diagnose why the engine is cutting out.

Your Jeep has a fuel system recall that your dealership has been unable to complete for over a year, citing unavailable parts. You've run out of gas four times on busy highways and while driving to work due to this unresolved issue. The dealership may need to source replacement fuel system components or perform fuel system diagnostics to identify and repair the underlying problem.

TAKATA RECALL WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND IT JUST SHUT OFF ON ME AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP.

I WENT IN FOR THE RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL TANK ISSUE (IN REAR END COLLISIONS) - ON SEPTEMBER 22 2015. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD TAKE 4-6 WEEKS IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE MANDATED 100 DOLLAR GIFT CARD. HOWEVER, AS OF NOVEMBER 18TH 2015 I HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT. WHEN I'VE CALLED, I KEEP BEING TOLD THAT THE RESPONSE TO THE GIFT CARD WAS MORE THAN CHRYSLER WAS ANTICIPATING AND THAT IT COULD BE SEVERAL MORE WEEKS BEFORE IT'S EVEN MAILED OUT. FURTHERMORE, NOBODY ON THE RECALL RESOLUTION TEAM HAS ANY INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN THE GIFT CARDS WILL BE MAILED OUT, OR WHEN THEY WILL BE RECEIVED. HOWEVER, THEY KEEP TELLING CUSTOMERS "4-6 WEEKS".

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THERE WAS A FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED FUEL LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED LOW FUEL LEVELS IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING. IN ADDITION, THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS CAUSING THE CONTACT TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE OFTEN. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V252000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 210,000.

IN RESPONSE TO THE LATEST ON THE RECALL OF JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES AND JEEP LIBERTIES, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST A FULL REVIEW OF THE 1993 - 2001 JEEP CHEROKEES REAR IMPACT SAFETY. IN NHTSA'S INITIAL REQUEST TO CHRYSLER, THIS GROUP OF CHEROKEES WAS INCLUDED AS A SUBJECT VEHICLE, NOTING YOU HAD ONLY RECEIVED 15 VOQ'S AND ONLY (1) WAS FOR A CHEROKEE, ONE IS TOO MANY. NHTSA ALSO STATED THAT "ASSESSMENT OF AVAILABLE DATA FOR THE CHEROKEE DID NOT ESTABLISH AN UNREASONABLE RISK." WAS THE AVAILABLE DATA AT THE TIME ACCEPTABLE? OR HAVE YOU SUBJECTED THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES TO A LIFE OF FEAR DRIVING VEHICLE NOT PROPERLY TESTED. WHY WAS THERE NO REAR END IMPACT TESTING OF THE CARS WHEN THEY INITIALLY CAME ON THE MARKET? THE LOCATION OF THE GAS TANK IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME POSITION AS THE GRAND CHEROKEE AND THE GAS TANK IS ALSO "PLASTIC". MY GRANDCHILDREN RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT OF A 1997 CHEROKEE AND IF IT WAS TO GET REAR-ENDED AND CAUGHT ON FIRE, HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WOULD TAKE THEIR PARENTS TO GET THEM OUT OF THEIR RESTRAINTS? DID YOU TEST THAT? AS A FAMILY WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE AND THE GOVERNMENT HAS DONE NOTHING TO REASSURE US EITHER. WHY IS IT UP TO THE PUBLIC TO FILE COMPLAINTS? HAVE YOU NOT THOUGHT THAT INDIVIDUALS DRIVING THESE CARS ARE JUST BARELY GETTING BY, MAYBE NOT KNOWING THAT FIRES FROM REAR IMPACTS ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY REPORTED? PLEASE, INVESTIGATE FURTHER, I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE MY GRANDCHILDREN! KINDLY, [XXX]- GRANDMA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES THE GAS TANK STARTED SPRAYING GASOLINE UP THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE EXHAUST PIPE HAD MELTED A HOLE IN THE TANK AND CAUSED THE TANK TO LEAK. LUCKILY HUSBAND IS MECHANIC AND KNEW WHAT TO DO TO KEEP VEHICLE FROM CATCHING FIRE. GAS TANK AND EXHAUST WAS REPLACED BY OWNER BEFORE KNOWLEDGE OF FAULTY GAS TANK ISSUES. ALSO LATER I RECEIVED A RECALL TO INSTALL A HITCH AND DEALER SAID THEIR WERE NONE AVAILABLE. WAITED A YEAR FOR HITCH. THINK IT IS UNFAIR THAT BECAUSE I WAS PERSISTENT AND GOT RECALL FIXED THAT MY VEHICLE WILL NOT RECEIVE THE INCENTIVES THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING OFFERED. I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION OF REPLACING GAS TANK IN 2013 AND RECALL.

I DON'T KNOW THE DATE OF WHEN CHRYSLER HAD THE RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. THEY WERE GOING TO PUT ON AN (OEM) TRAILER HITCH WHERE APPROPRIATE, FREE OF CHARGE. THE PARTS REQUIRED WERE CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. I BOUGHT A TRAILER HITCH AND HAD IT INSTALLED. I THEN TOOK IT TO JEFF WYLER JEEP IN FORT THOMAS KY. THEY INSPECTED IT AND PASSED IT. (PERFORM RECALL N45) I CALLED YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASKED IF I WOULD BE PAID BACK FOR THE PART, THEY SAID NO BECAUSE IT WAS NOT AN (OEM) PART. PLEASE MAKE THIS RIGHT, I HAVE NOW TAKEN OFF THE PART I BOUGHT, AND ASKING YOU TO EITHER PAY ME FOR THE PART, WHICH WAS $316.00 WITH LABOR, OR SET UP A DATE AND TIME TO A DEALER TO PUT THE RIGHT PART ON. THAT IS ALL I AM ASKING FOR, I HAVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS,AND EVERY DAY I WORRY ABOUT IT BEING SO DANGEROUS. I DON'T THINK I AM ASKING TO MUCH. I JUST WANT IT FIXED RIGHT, AND THE RIGHT PART ON. I THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. HOPE TO TALK TO YOU SOON. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT OBSERVED A FUEL LEAK AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT THE FUEL TANK NOT BE CONSUMED TO THE FULL CAPACITY AND THAT THE FUEL LEAK WAS NOT HAZARDOUS.

CANNOT FILL FUEL TANK TO TOP ( WHEN PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF) WITHOUT HAVING FUEL LEAK FROM TOP OF TANK FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. HAVE REPLACED FUEL TANK MODULE AND GASKET. DEALER CAN FIND NO REASON FOR PROBLEM. HAPPENS AT EACH FUEL FILL. *TR

CAR STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST OFTEN WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN AND WHEN THE GAS TANK IS AT 1/2 TANK OF GAS OR LESS. ONGOING PROBLEM FOR YEARS. *TR

WE HAVE A USED 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, WHICH WE HAVE ONLY OWNED IT FOR ABOUT 5-6 MONTHS AND WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM/PUMP. WE NOTICE A RECALL ON 1997-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IN JAN/FEB 2006 ON THE PROBLEM THAT WE ARE HAVING WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT WHEN WE CONTACT THE CHRYSLER CORP. WE WERE TOLD THAT OUR PARTICULAR VEHICLE WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. ON THE PAGE THAT I RECEIVE THE INFO ON THE RECALL THRU NHTSA.GOV, IT DIDN'T SPECIFY WHICH ONE, IT JUST STATES 1997-2004, JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND JEEP WRANGLER, SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION AND NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE. HOW IS IT THAT OUR VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE ONES THAT IS UNDER THE RECALL. I SPOKE WITH TWO REPRESENTATIVES AT CHRYSLER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE THAT WE OWNED HAD A FUEL PUMP REPLACED IN 2000 AND I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S TRUE, BECAUSE THE RECALL WASN'T UNTIL LAST YEAR. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 JEEP CHEROKEE. THE VEHICLE HESITATES TO START WHEN THE CONTACT TURNS THE IGNITION. THERE IS MINIMAL FUEL PRESSURE WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, WITH A HALF TANK OF GAS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AS IF IT WERE OUT OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HESITATE WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 25 TO 65 MPH OR GREATER. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE CAUSE OF FAILURE AS THE FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE DELIVERY: FUEL PUMP. THE CONTACT HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR TWO MONTHS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 119,000.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT NO PARTICULAR SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WOULD IMMEDIATELY RESTART AND OPERATE NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER, THEY DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS THE FUEL PUMP. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 06E011000, REGARDING THE FUEL PUMP. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING ADDITIONAL INSPECTION BEFORE REPAIRS ARE MADE.

FUEL GAUGE READS INCORRECTLY. THE GAUGE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL IS ANYWHERE BELOW 1/2 TANK. NOT SURE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE VEHICLE UNLESS IT IS TOPPED OFF. THERE WAS A RECALL 97V194000 FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNITS, HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *NM

1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 97V194000) RECALL FOR FUEL SENDING UNIT. DEALER TELLS ME THAT THE UNIT WAS REPLACED IN 2002, YET TODAY THE REPLACED PART IS FAILING JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL AND THE DEALER EXPECTS ME TO PAY FOR IT EVEN THOUGH THIS PART WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FIX FOR THE ORIGINAL RECALL..*JB

DT: THE FUEL GAUGE'S READING WAS INACCURATE. RECAL 97V194000L WAS ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM. . WHEN THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, THEY TOLD HIM THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN ALTHOUGH THIS VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM ON SEPTEMBER 3,2005. THE INACCURACY OF THE FUEL GAUGE CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO RUN OUT OF FUEL. *AK *NM

PLASTIC GAS TANK WARPED WHERE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT IS LOCATED ON TOP OF TANK. CAR WAS PARKED IN GARAGE OVERNIGHT AFTER A FILL UP. NEXT MORNING GASOLINE WAS NOTED ON FLOOR OF GARAGE WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FIRE. DEALER STATED TANK WARPED IN HEAT OF D.C. WEATHER. REPLACEMENT COST WAS $800. I WONDER IF OTHER SIMILAR EIGHT-YEAR OLD JEEP PRODUCTS WILL BEGIN TO SHOW THIS FAILURE, WHICH COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR UNSUSPECTING OWNERS OF JEEP VEHICLES WITH PLASTIC GAS TANKS. GAS TANKS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO FAIL AFTER ONLY EIGHT YEARS OF USE. *NM

FUEL GAUGE READS AS FULL WHEN EMPTY. THIS WAS ALREADY INVOLVED IN A RECALL OF MY MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE, BUT APPARENTLY NOT OF MY VIN NUMBER. I'D LIKE TO GET THE RECALL EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. *JB

THE CONSUMER LOCATED FOUR RECALL NOTIFICATIONS ON HIS 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED .***NO ANSWER REQUIRED***. *MR THE DEALER INDICATED THAT ONLY ONE RECALL APPLIED TO THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE AND MADE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM SENDING UNIT RECALL SHOULD ALSO APPLY SINCE HIS VEHICLE EXHIBITS SYMPTOMS OF THAT RECALL (RECALL# 97V194000). *NM

NHTSA RECALL 97V194000 SUBJECT/FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT. AFTER HAVING THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FUELED THE NEEDLE REGISTERED AT A HALF A TANK OF FUEL BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY STOP RUNNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT SENDING FALSE READINGS TO THE GAS GAUGE. *NM

FUEL TANK INDICATOR IS GIVING FALSE READINGS. *AK THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE STALLING, IT WAS REFUELED AND WAS GIVEN NO DIAGNOSIS AT THE GAS STATION. THE VEHICLE STOPPED RESPONDING TO THE PRESSING OF THE GAS PEDAL FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON, THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED BUT WAS STILL GIVEN NO DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE STOPPED AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, OBTAINED EMERGENCY FUEL, THEN IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THERE WAS A FUEL PROBLEM. (THE FUEL LEVEL REGISTERED WRONG) THE 20 GALLON GAS TANK GETS 15 TO 18 MPG. THE FUEL LEVEL REGISTERS 7/8 TANK AFTER DRIVING 100 MILES CURRENTLY. BOTH THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO PAY FOR REPAIR AND DENIED THE RECALL #97V194000 . *SC *JB

WHILE DRIVING, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THE INCORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *NLM

ENGINE STALLS AT 70 MPH, STOP CAR RESTART, STALLS AGAIN. WITH FUEL TANK READING 1/2 OR BELOW,FILLED UP ONLY HELD 10 GALS. OK UNTIL IT GETS BELOW 1/2 TANK. KEEP ABOVE 1/2 TANK NO PROBLEMS. *LA

I OWN A 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A 6 CYLINDER ENGINE. WHENEVER THE GAS TANK IS 1/4 FULL OR BELOW, THE ENGINE STALLS OUT COMPLETELY WHEN I MAKE A LEFT TURN. IT APPEARS THAT BECAUSE THE GASOLINE IN THE TANK IS PUSHED TO THE RIGHT, THE FUEL INTAKE IS EITHER BLOCKED OR IS UNABLE TO ACCESS THE FUEL. IT APPEARS TO ME TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT BECAUSE I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS VEHICLE (AND,I BELIEVE, ALL IN ITS CLASS) HAVE POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, ETC. TO LOSE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IS TO LOSE CONTROL. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT. I AM TERRIBLY AFRAID THAT I WILL. *AK

VEHICLE'S FUEL GAUGE READ INCORRECTLY WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. *PH WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH THEN DIED OUT. THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER ADDED TWO GALLONS OF GAS AND VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP. THE GAS TANK READ 1/4 FULL AND THERE WAS NO LOW FUEL WARNING. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS LIKE THE FIRST EXCEPT IT OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. *PH *NLM

HAVING TROUBLE WITH STARTING THE CAR DUE TO WHEN CAR IS PARKED ON AN INCLINE THE CAR IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED TOTAL FAILURE AT 65 MPH. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS DUE TO A CORRODING FUEL TANK, CAUSED BY ADDITIVES USED BY GAS MANUFACTURERS. APPARENTLY THE CORRODING TANK "PIECES/SLIVERS/SHARDS/ETC." CLOG THE FUEL FILTER/FUEL PUMP AND DOES NOT ALLOW FUEL TO REACH THE ENGINE. CHRYSLER HAS SINCE CHANGED THE CONSTRUCTION OF THEIR TANK TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I HAD TO WAIT IN EXCESS OF 2 WEEKS FOR A TANK BECAUSE OF A (QUOTE FORM THE DEALER) "NATIONAL BACKORDER" ON FUEL TANKS. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM (IT'S WHAT'S CAUSING THE BACKORDER, AS BEST AS I CAN DETERMINE). THE WARRANTY COMPANY I HAVE EXTENDED COVERAGE THROUGH (WYNNS), TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE SO FAMILIAR WITH IT THAT THEY HAVE INSTITUTED A PROCEDURE TO DENY ANY CLAIM ARISING TO CHRYSLER TANKS SINCE IT IS A PROBLEM STEMMING FROM THE CHRYSLER DESIGN. MY REAL PROBLEM ARISES FROM THE FACT THAT WHILE THIS ISSUE IS SO FAR REACHING TO CAUSE A NATIONAL BACKORDER ON CHRYSLER TANKS, GETTING CHRYSLER AS A CORPORATION TO ADMIT THE PROBLEM IS IMPOSSIBLE (OF COURSE) ALTHOUGH THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER IS AWARE OF IT. IF IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, I AS A CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED SOME NOTICE ABOUT POTENTIALLY CORROSIVE TANKS, OR PERHAPS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ITEM. THE FUEL TANK FAILURE CAUSES A COMPLETE STOPPAGE OF THE VEHICLE, AS I LEARNED TRAVELLING 65 MPH ON RTE. 81S IN PENNSYLVANIA WITH MY 7 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE AND 1.5 YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR. I THANKFULLY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT IT WAS INOPERABLE THEREAFTER. I HAVE SINCE HAD THE TANK, FUEL PUMP, FUEL FILTER, AND O2 SENSOR REPLACED AT A COST OF $1023.
