#11424645 | Fire
The contact owns a 2001 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 10 mph, the vehicle lost motive power without warning and there was smoke coming from the engine. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and diagnosed that the top cylinder was faulty. The vehicle was then towed to a dealer, but the dealer informed the contact that they did not repair vehicles older than 2006 and would only order a part to cover the manifold. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The Vin was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 02V104000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer informed the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis. The failure mileage was 145,333.

WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED YOU CAN SMELL GAS FUMES, WITHIN MINUTES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. VEHICLE IS TAKEN INTO DEALER. DEALER TESTS IT AND SAYS IT A LEAK. THEY CAN'T FIND IT AND THEY RESET THE LIGHT. WITHIN 2 WEEKS THE SAME THING HAPPEN. THEY REPLACED THE GAS CAP A FEW TIMES AND CHANGED A GASKET ABOVE THE FUEL TANK. THIS MADE NO DIFFERENCE. JUST RECENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALER TWICE IN A MONTH. THE DEALER SUGGESTED TRADING IN THE VEHICLE AND CHANGED THE GAS CAP AGAIN. THE LAST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN THEY SUGGESTED A TUNE UP, WHICH IS NORMALLY DONE WITHIN SUGGESTED TIMES ANYWAYS, BUT DID IT AND CHARGED US FOR IT. AGAIN SAME THING HAPPENED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NEAR BY SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO BE TESTED.RESULTS (LARGE LEAK)..THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING , NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO SOLVE IT.
