It would not start until I sat for a little while. I had it only a few months when it stalled on the interstate. Was removing rear hitch so I could repaint it and noticed that my gas tank shield was rotted and gas was leaking above shield so I removed the rotted shield and found was caused by dirt and road grime getting in above where shield was rotted.thank god I caught it before shield started to fall and spark against e to find out that shield is the only thing holding gas tank in vehicle which I believe is totally a hazard for all Grand Cherokee owners from 1999-2004 at least.I went online and found out this was a major defect in all from 1993-2004 and yet no recalls.there have been many fires from this and I believe it should be looked at.mine at present just sits in yard as they want 400 hundred for shield and 400 hundred or more for tank.all junkyards tell me that they are all rotted and so they have none to sell.all junkyards tell me the same so I have no idea what to do yet.I could see this if my Jeep was not road worthy but there is no rust on it and it runs great.Īuto had 40000+ miles when I bought it from my brother.
