NHTSA Complaint #10678465 — 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

PLEASE PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE DATA BELOW. I'M EXTREMELY NERVOUS ABOUT THE FUEL TANK MOUNTED DEFECT AND IGNITION SWITCHED THAT SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVEN. MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE EXPERIENCED ALL THE ISSUE AS THE PREVIOUS OWNERS REGARDING MY JEEP INCLUDING THE HEADLIGHTS ISSUE. ON JANUARY 21, 2015 I HAVE CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION REGARDING THE RECALLS AND PER LYNN THE RECALLS WERE ONLY FOR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES FROM 1993-1998 AND LIBERTYS FROM 2002-2007 BUT THE REPORTS STATES "ADDITIONALLY, CHRYSLER ALSO AGREES TO CONDUCT A SERVICE ACTION FOR 1.14 MILLION JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES FOR MODEL YEARS 1999-2004." MY UNCLE HAS A 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO AND HIS VEHICLE HAS A TRAILER HITCH TO PROTECT THE GAS TANK. I HAVE NOTICE SEVERAL MODELS FROM 1999-2004 JEEPS WITH TRAILER HITCH MOUNTED TO THE VEHICLE. THERE IS CONTROVERSY ABOUT THE TRAILER HITCH MODIFICATION TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE BUT I WOULD FEEL SAFER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IF A TRAILER HITCH WAS INSTALLED AS CHRYSLER HAS COMMITTED TO THE PUBLIC. NOVEMBER 2009: CENTER FOR AUTO SAFETY SUBMITS FORMAL REQUEST ASKING NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TO INVESTIGATE 1993-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S WITH FUEL TANKS LOCATED BEHIND THE REAR AXLE. JUNE 18, 2013: CHRYSLER AGREES TO CONDUCT A SAFETY CAMPAIGN AND INSTALL TRAILER HITCHES ON 1.56 MILLION JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES FROM 1993-98 AND JEEP LIBERTY SUVS FROM 2002-07. ADDITIONALLY, CHRYSLER ALSO AGREES TO CONDUCT A SERVICE ACTION FOR 1.14 MILLION JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES FOR MODEL YEARS 1999-2004. CHRYSLER DEALERS WILL INSPECT THOSE VEHICLES AND REPLACE AFTERMARKET TRAILER HITCHES WITH ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TRAILER HITCHES. JAN. 17, 2014: NHTSA SAYS IT APPROVES OF THE PROPOSED TRAILER HITCH REMEDY, SAYING IT HAS NO RESERVATIONS AT THIS TIME,AND GIVING CHRYSLER THE GREEN LIGHT TO MOVE AHEAD. *TR
