I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A STOCK 1991 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 2.5 LITER ENGINE AT 106,000 MILES. THE FUEL RAIL HAS FAILED AND IS LEAKING AT FACTORY INSTALLED PLUGGED END OF THE RAIL AT THE OPPOSITE END FROM THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULAR. THE LEAK IS BETWEEN THE PLUG AND THE RAIL. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A BRAZED SEALED END OR A THREADED PLUG INSTEAD OF A COMPRESSION FITTING OF A PLUG. THE LEAK PRODUCES A SPRAY OF GASOLINE NEAR THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WHICH COULD LEAD TO A FIRE. BASED ON MY RESEARCH BY CONTACTING 3 DEALERSHIPS IN THE WASHINGTON, DC AREA, JEEP HAS STOPPED PRODUCING THIS PART AND THERE ARE NO STOCK AFTERMARKETS FUEL RAILS AVAILABLE. I'M LOOKING INTO JUNKYARD PARTS BUT QUESTION WHETHER IF THEY COULD BE DEFECTED, TOO. ALSO, AT JEEPFORUM.COM THERE WAS ALSO FAILURE ON A 1994 JEEP WRANGLER. PLEASE REVIEW THIS SUBJECT AND SEE IF THERE'S A JUSTIFICATION FOR RECALL. *JB

MY FUEL TANK IS THE PROBLEM. IT FIRST STARTED LEAKING IN 1991 WHEN I FIRST GOT MY JEEP. IT WAS REPAIRED. THEN IT STARTED LEAKING AGAIN IN 1996, AND I TOOK IN, IT AND THE RECALL COVERED THAT REPAIR. THEN AGAIN IN 1998, THE TANK LEAKED AGAIN. SAME PROBLEM EACH TIME. THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL SEND UNIT, BUT EACH TIME THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY. THE ONLY TIME THE MANUFACTURER PAID FOR IT WAS WHEN I TOOK IT IN UNDER THE RECALL. THE OTHER TIMES, I PAID FOR IT. BECAUSE IT IS THE GAS TANK, IT COULD EASILY LEAD TO FATALITIES. I FEEL IF THE PART FOR THIS REPAIR IS NEVER GOING TO BE RIGHT, THEN THEY SHOULD CONTINUE TO REPLACE IT AS IF THE RECALL WAS STILL IN EFFECT. THIS IS DANGEROUS! AFTER I BLEW UP AT THE DEALER THE LAST TIME (PITRE IN PHOENIX), THEY TAMPERED WITH MY GAS GAUGE AND NOW IT DOESN'T READ ACCURATELY. THEY NEED TO BE PUT ON NOTICE THAT THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC -- THE DEALERSHIP'S BEHAVIOR AS WELL AS THE MANUFACTURER REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE PART. RECALL 94V-106. *AK

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY WITH A STRONGER PAWL RETURN SPRING. OWNER NOTIFICATON BEGAN SEPTEMBER 30, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.

THE FRONT DISC BRAKE ROTORS CAN EXPERIENCE SEVERE CORROSION IF OPERATED FOR AN EXTENSIVE PERIOD IN THE "SALT BELT." IF THE ROTORS ARE NOT REPLACED, THE CORROSION CAN EVENTUALLY COMPROMISE THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE STAMPED STEEL CENTER HUB SECTION OF THE ROTOR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE REDUCED STRENGTH CAN ALLOW THE CAST IRON WEAR SURFACE TO SEPARATE FROM THE HUB, REDUCING THE BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE VEHICLE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THESE ROTORS WITH ROTORS THAT ARE COATED WITH A CORROSION PROTECTION.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MULTIPURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH PLASTIC FUEL TANKS. THE FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT GASKET CAN CRACK CAUSING FUEL AND FUEL VAPOR LEAKS.

Remedy: REPLACE THE FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT GASKET.
SALT CORROSION PRODUCTS BETWEEN THE STARTER SOLENOID WIRE AND THE ADJACENT BATTERY FEED IN THE BULKHEAD CONNECTOR MAY SHORT THESE CONNECTIONS, CAUSING THE CIRCUIT TO BYPASS THE IGNITION KEY CONTROL OF THE STARTER MOTOR SOLENOID. THE CAR CAN START WITHOUT THE STARTER SEQUENCE BEING INITIATED BY THE IGNITION KEY IN THE IGNITION LOCK.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE UNINTENDED START OF A VEHICLE WITH A MANUALTRANSMISSION LEFT IN A DRIVE GEAR CAN RESULT IN A RUNAWAY VEHICLE.
Remedy: THE STARTER SOLENOID WIRING WILL BE SEPARATED FROM THE BATTERY FEED WIRE BY RELOCATING IT WITHIN THE BULKHEAD CONNECTOR ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
ON 1987 THROUGH EARLY 1990 MODELS, BOTH FRONT BRAKE HOSES CAN WEAR DUE TO DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE WHEEL OPENING SPLASH SHIELDS. ON THE LATE 1990 THROUGH 1992 MODELS, PERIODIC RUBBING CONTACT OF THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE HOSE CAN OCCUR DUE TO MOVEMENT OF THE SPLASH SHIELD IN CERTAIN VEHICLE OPERATING CONDITIONS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: EITHER CONDITION CAN CAUSE LOSS OF FRONT BRAKE SYSTEMFUNCTIONS, RESULTING IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES AND AN INCREASED RISK OFVEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: THE 1987 TO 1990 MODEL VEHICLES WILL HAVE BOTH SPLASH SHIELDS REPLACED AND BOTH FRONT BRAKE HOSES REPLACED AS NECESSARY. ALL AFFECTED LATE 1990 THROUGH 1992 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL FASTENERS INSTALLED TO FURTHER SECURE THE LEFT SIDE SPLASH SHIELD. ALSO, THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE HOSE WILL BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED AS NECESSARY.
