NHTSA Complaint #10181386 — 2006 JEEP LIBERTY

MY WIFE CONTACTED ME THIS MORNING COMPLAINING THE JEEP WOULDN'T START. I WALKED TO WHERE SHE WAS AND CHECKED OUT THE ENGINE. I NOTICED FUEL AROUND THE FUEL FILTER MOUNT; I BLED THE FUEL SYSTEM AND THE VEHICLE STARTED. I GOT IT HOME AND CHECK A LITTLE FURTHER AND NOTICED FUEL LEAKING OUT OF THE FUEL HEATER PLUG. I UNPLUGGED IT AND A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL DUMPED OUT. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND HAD THEM ORDER THE PART. THE TECHNICIAN SAID IT'S OK TO DRIVE THE JEEP UNTIL NEXT WEEK WHEN THE PART ARRIVES. *NM EMAIL UPDATE (6/25/2007): "...MY REPLACEMENT HEATER IS OVERHEATING AND LEAKING AGAIN."
