Fuel gauge reads empty when tank is full, dealer cannot find problem. will drive for about 30 miles and then fuel tank will read what it is supposed to. also terrible shaking in front end when braking. brakes/rotors all new and replaced still shakes. fog lamps continuously burn out, dealer states wiring harness. have had to pay the deductible on this numerous times... like it is my fault they burn out. *la
I took my 1999 jeep cherokee to a jeep dealership to determine a problem i was having with the gas gauge failing to register how much gas i had in my tank. i was charged $55.00 just to determine what the problem was. it was determined that i had a defective flotation sensor in the gas tank. the part is going to cost $124.00, not including labor. i expect the repair bill for this problem to be at least $200.00, not counting the $55.00 i've already paid just to diagnose the problem. the jeep has less than 52,000 miles on it, so i feel that this problem should not be occurring this soon. i've also found out that this seems to be a common problem in late model jeep cherokees, yet they have not been put on a recall list (at least, mine isn't on a recall list). i contacted the jeep (daimler/chrysler) headquarters to see if they would pay for the repairs, and they declined. the bottom line is that i feel i shouldn't have to pay to have this part replaced, especially since it seems to be a common problem with jeep cherokees. plus, this vehicle has too low of a mileage to be experiencing this problem.
I took the car to the dealer on thornton road called chrysler and they originally stopped the car from saying it had no gas on a full tank and reading 0mph when traveling 75 mph. then months later the car began to read 0 gas after i filled up the tank. the gas reading is always wrong.
Warranty replacement of transfer case due to hairline fracture during manufacturing within first 7,000 miles on car. at 37,000 miles fuel sensor failed. at 69,000 window regulator failed. at 72,000 rear shock broke off car leaving bolts still in chassis. very frustrated, chryster corp. does not care!
