Consumer Description

FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED WHILE TURNING AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHICH POTENTIALLY COULD OF CAUSED A FATALITY. JEEP REPLACED THE UNIT AND WE HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM SINCE. THIS VEHICLE ALWAYS LEAKS FUEL WHEN FILLED DESPITE NOT BEING "TOPPED OFF". I WILL AWAKEN IN THE MORNING TO A PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER THE CAR. I FEEL THAT MY GARAGE MAY EXPLODE ONE DAY. THESE ARE TWO VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS RELATING SAFETY. OVERALL, THIS VEHICLE HAS POOR ATTENTION PAID TO DETAIL. I HAVE HAD MANY MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE COMPARED TO THE ENTIRE LIFE OF MY USED ACURA WITH 120,000 MILES.
