| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The car had 1/4 tank of gas and the car started acting like it was running out of gas consistently near stalling when driving. It felt like the car had a clogged fuel filter. I've also had the car fully stall in the middle of the street while driving, almost causing the car behind me to rear-end my car at least one time. When i took this car to a dealership in los angeles in july, i was told the fuel sending unit was the problem and that they would order the part. Because the part did not arrive when scheduled and the date was pushed back, i called jeep corporate and they sent my concern to their escalation department. They are anticipating the part will be available in mid-october; however, this is a safety concern and jeep has been dragging this out for 3 months now. This is the second issue i've had with this car and the first issue is now recurring. At the very least, i expected jeep to provide me with a rental car because this is a safety issue. This car was purchased in oregon. |
