• Crash related fuel tank fires investigation # EA12005

  Odi has completed an extensive analysis of rear crash fuel tank system integrity data for the subject jeep cherokee, grand cherokee and liberty vehicles (svs).As of june 2013, odi knew of 56 post-collision fatal fires, 28 non-fatal fires, and 6 fuel leak incidents (totaling 90 incidents, 75 fatalities and 58 injuries) involving the svs.Based on this analysis, odi issued a recall request letter (rrl) on june 3, 2013 requesting that chrysler recall the grand cherokee and liberty vehicles due to the rate of fatal, non-fatal fire, and fuel leak incidents when compared to peer vehicles (compact and medium suvs) built during the same time period.In the rrl, odi described how the location of the aft-mounted fuel tank made the svs vulnerable to rear impact crash fuel tank failures.During the analysis, besides the high speed/high severity crashes present in both the sv and peer vehicles, odi observed a significant number of low and moderate speed rear impact crash related fires and leaks, particularly in the liberty.The data also demonstrated that svs originally equipped with towing hitch receivers (trailer hitches) appeared to be under-represented in rear-impact related fuel tank failures.In the rrl, odi requested that chrysler provide its response by june 18, 2013, otherwise nhtsa might proceed to an initial decision that the svs contain a safety-related defect.Chrysler responded to the rrl on june 4, 2013 and vigorously disputed the tentative findings of the rrl.Among other things, chrysler argued that the svs had an overall safety record superior to their peers, met or exceeded all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards (fmvss) and only experienced fires in severe high energy rear impacts.Nonetheless, while continuing to maintain that the svs did not contain a safety-related defect, chrysler proposed a recall (13v-252) of approximately 2.5m (1.6m currently registered) model year (my) 1993 - 1998 grand cherokee (zj) and my 2002-2007 liberty (kj) vehicles on june 18, 2013.The recall remedy submitted by chrysler would employ a hitch receiver assembly consisting of a steel cross-member behind the fuel tank with forward-projecting arms bolted to the frame rails on either side of the fuel tank.For the my 1999 - 2004 grand cherokee, chrysler indicated it would conduct a customer satisfaction campaign and inspect vehicles equipped with aftermarket tow hitch receivers, and if necessary, replace any such hitch receivers whose conditionmay increase the risk of fuel system failure in rear crashes.Examination of the available data established that the my 1999 - 2004 grand cherokee did not pose the same magnitude of safety risk as the my 1993 - 1998 grand cherokee and my 2002-2007 liberty, particularly in low and moderate speed rear impacts.Because the agency has concluded that the vehicles do not present an unreasonable risk to safety, odi is closing its investigation of the my 1999 - 2004 grand cherokee.Although it was not within the scope of the petition initiating this investigation or the preliminary evaluation preceding this ea, odi also examined the performance of the my 1993 - 2001 cherokee as part of this investigation.Nhtsas assessment of the available data for the cherokee did not establish an unreasonable risk in comparison to peer vehicles.Odi does not approve proposed defect remedies.While offering to install hitch receiver assemblies on the my 1993-1998 grand cherokees and 2002-2007 liberty, chrysler did not, in odis view, provide enough evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed remedy in rear impacts.The complete summary for this closing resume (ea12-005) can be seen by opening the following document:http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/acms/cs/jaxrs/download/doc/ucm466679/incla-ea12005-9765.Pdf

• Fuel storage system crash related fires investigation # DP09005

  In a letter dated october 2, 2009, the center for auto safety (cas) petitioned nhtsa to open a defect investigation and recall model year 1993-2004 jeep grand cherokees.Cas alleged that the subject vehicles have defective fuel tank storage systems that present a fire hazard in crashes. Cas alleged that the plastic fuel tanks placement behind the rear axle and below the rear bumper, and the lack of adequate shielding, make it more vulnerable to rupture or leakage from a rear-impact by another vehicle (including damage from other components located on the grand cherokee), or in the case of rollover crashes, from other external objects.Cas also alleged that the fuel filler neck tears off in crashes.In its petition, cas cites data from nhtsas fatality analysis reporting system (fars) showing 172 fatal fire crashes with 254 fatalities involving the subject vehicles from calendar years 1992 through 2008.Cas stated that there have been at least 44 crashes with 64 total fatalities (subject and non-subject vehicles) where fire was entered as the most harmful event (mhe) in the fars database.In response to the cas petition, odi made a preliminary examination of available data.Fars data showed 2,988 occupants of the subject vehicles have died in crashes since 1992.Of those, 55 died in 44 crashes where fire was listed as the most harmful event.Identifying crashes most likely associated with the alleged defect as described by cas (defined as the subject vehicle being struck at the 5, 6 or 7 oclock positions) isolated 10 crashes with 13 occupant fatalities.Odi also reviewed the vehicle owner questionnaires (voq) database and identified 12 reports alleging a) a post-crash fuel tank leak and/or b) a post-crash fire potentially related to a fuel tank leak.Of the 12 reports, 10 involved fires (two involved fuel leaks only) with 9 alleged injuries and 1 alleged fatality.The existence of these post-crash fires does not, by itself, establish a defect trend.Further review and investigation into these incidents is needed to determine the existence of any relationship between the alleged defect and each fire or leak.It should be noted that odi also conducted a preliminary review of the early warning reporting (ewr) data that did not find the subject vehicles to be over-represented for post-crash fires.Odis initial review neither supports nor excludes the possibility that a defect exists in the subject vehicles.However, odi has always taken the position that vehicle fires pose a significant safety risk.Accordingly, odi has granted the petition to further investigate the conditions associated with post-crash fires in these vehicles.

• Roll-away in reverse when parked investigation # EA01017

  Daimlerchrysler has recalled the zj models to incorporate a secondary detent spring into the shifter.Even though the wj 6 cyl. Vehicles use the same manual detent lever that as the vehicles in the recall population, odi believes that the wj redesigned shifter, which improves floor shifter functionality and ergonomics, helps to provide feedback to the driver to indicate whether ?Park? Has or has not been achieved.Although the investigator was able to induce a ?False park? In the wj platform for 6 cyl. Vehicles, the level of difficulty was greater than that required for all zj models, and the complaint rate was significantly lower than the recalled zj population.Further, the odi investigator was also able to create a ?False park? In peer vehicles with the same level of difficulty and frequency as the subject vehicle wj platform.The wj complaint rate was inflated due to national exposure through the press. The complaint rate prier to the july 5, 2001 media coverage for the wj vehicles is similar to the peer vehicle incident rate.Based on the above, a safety-related defect trend has not been identified at this time in the wj population.Accordingly, this investigation is closed with a safety recal for the "zj" platform only.

The 2001 jeep just came to a stop while it was being driven on the highway. It had always had engine issues. The front wheel suspension on the passenger side of the 2001 jeep cherokee laredo is bent and while driving it on the street or highway it causes the vehicle to pull to the left and is unstable when driving it on a highway or street. The engine has a knocking sound whenever it is running. The brakes to the vehicle has been slipping and making a grinding noise while driving it. Sometimes the jeep doesn't want to drive over 70 mph when driving in the highway or street. We have had to replace the brakes because they started smoking while driving on the highway. There is electrical issues with the car as well where the radio doesn't play as well as other electrical parts don't work. My 2001 jeep has stopped while my husband was driving it on the highway and it is not drivable. I have had to replace the ignition coil and spark plugs many times for many years. There has always been a water leak on the passenger side dripping whenever the car is in motion, coming from the dashboard onto the carpet since the car was purchased. There may be other issues with the 2001 jeep that i have missed.

The fuel rail pulsation damper is leaking gasoline creating an environmental and safety hazard. This fuel rail assembly is on national backorder and not available. We need to elevate this situation in order to get a satisfactory repair procedure in effect. This is not an acceptable way for a national dealer to care for their vehicles, leaving the consumer to fend for themselves searching endlessly for a solution. There are jeep forums related to this issue dating back to 2015.
