Consumer Description

2005 JEEP CRD, FUEL HEATER POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. DESIGN ALLOWS FUEL FILTER HEAD TO MELT THEN AIR ENTERS THE DIESEL SYSTEM. ENGINE MAY STALL ON HIGHWAY DANGEROUS THING! MINES STALLED OUT AND BEEN TOWED COUPLE TIMES. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN POOR IN FIXING THIS PROBLEM. IF FUEL HEATER WAS TO CATCH FIRE FILTER HEAD AND ALL FUEL COULD BURN TO CRISP IN MINUTES. MAYBE MAKE CHRYLSER OFFER LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THESE RARE DIESELS. I CAN SEE HUGE LAWSUITS TOWARDS CHRYSLER IF SOMEONE WAS TO BE KILLED STALLING AND OR BURNING IN VEHICLE. *TR
