My daughter was driving her 1999 jeep grand cherokee down a twisty road at 40 mph, the car suddenly began to accelerate. she applied the brakes and the car would not stop or slow down. she tried to pull up on the gas pedal but the pedal would not release. she then turned the car off and managed to pull over to the side of the road. this happened one week after we had it at the dealership to replace the crank shaft and cam shaft position sensors because the car turned off on its own when she was driving it. we can no longer let her drive the vehicle as it is unsafe for her or anyone on the road. *tr
Consumer stated that while driving and without warning fuel tank cracked, causing fluid to leak out. dealer notified. *ak

After having the gas tank replaced in mid july of 1999, i noticed after driving for over 100 miles, the gas needle on the dash would not move off of full. when i checked the overhead computer to determine how many miles i had until empty, it still showed the maximum. the problem was reported to the dealership in jacksonville and was supposedly taken care of. last night, my wife and 14 month old child were driving down i-10 and with a 1/4 tank still showing, the car just quit. it had apparently ran out of gas. my wife had to get someone to take her to a gas station and get some gas. after filling up, the same problem appeared as before. my wife was able to drive over 100 miles again without the gas needle moving off of the full position. the day before, my wife had only driven about 150 miles before the car needed to be filled up again. i believe the problem is directly related to the "check engine" light that is being serviced for the 3rd time now.
