| Description of the problem | On sept 3, 2019 i was driving at 45 mph when the engine stalled and i coasted to a stop. Engine restarted after many attempts, drove about 50 feet when engine stalled again. Overcome by a strong smell of gas i exited the car and saw fuel coming out from under the engine. As the car sat the fuel leak subsided. Towed to the dealer we bought the car from (zeigler of downers grove) tow truck driver stated i was lucky it didn't start on fire. When the car was up on the back of the tow truck bed dealer tried to start the car to get into neutral and we were able to see the fuel pouring out from under the car. Picked up car the next day and i was assured this car was fixed. I voiced my concern on the dangers of driving a car with gas pouring out of it. Repair order shows "replaced broken fuel clip tested vehicle and vehicle is now operating as designed". 5 days later (9/8/19) had to have the car towed 30 miles back to the dealership because the car is again leaking gasoline. Not feeling very safe in my 2017 jeep grand cherokee |
