NHTSA Complaint #11444419 — 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that the vehicle would intermittently stall after refueling with the "shift vehicle into neutral" warning message displayed on the instrument panel. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who discovered that raw fuel would enter the charcoal canister due to a defective liquid air separator located on top of the fuel tank. The contact was also informed that the separator could not be replaced separately, and the entire fuel tank would need to be replaced. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure on two occasions and a complaint was filed. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.
