| Description of the problem | 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 corrective 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. |
