Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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
